Statler and Waldorf were a pair of Muppet characters known for their cantankerous opinions and shared penchant for heckling. These two elderly men first appeared in THE MUPPET SHOW in 1975, where they consistently jeered the entirety of the cast and their performances from their balcony seats.
I remember I enjoyed their sarcastic insults and grumpy demeanor back then, but it is until now, more than 40 years later, that I truly appreciate and understand the deep truth within their personalities.
Yes, as you get older, you may not get wiser but you sure are far more critical of others and you become an acid critic of every subject you dare to tackle. I know this because as I get on in years, I feel I am becoming more and more like these two grumpy old geezers!
