"Leave comedy to the bears, Ebenezer"
The Muppets perform the classic Dickens Christmas tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine).

They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.
