Down The Rabbit Hole

“"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” “She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it)”

I think that's right, Statler and Waldorf. Those are both NY hotels, by the way. Statler Hotel is in Ithica, NY and of course, there's the Waldorf Astoria in NYC.

Statler and Waldorf are the incorrigible comedy duo who make heckling their life. Even while dodging various flying Muppets and Lew Zealand's Boomerang Fish, taunting barbs and sarcasm would always prevail. Statler is the taller, thinner one sitting on the right as we look at them in their Muppet Show box. Waldorf, on the left, has a round head and is shorter.

Statler and Waldorf were performed by Richard Hunt and Jim Henson respectively on The Muppet Show. However, due to the untimely deaths of these gentlemen, they are now currently performed by Jerry Nelson and Dave Goelz. Jerry Nelson originally performed Statler in the Muppet Show pilot Sex and Violence.

Their names originate after hotels in New York City. Waldorf's wife is even named Astoria, after the famous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
