The internet loves a comeback tour, but it adores one with puppet fleece and impeccable comedic timing. Case in point: The Muppet Show special, which returned to the Muppet Theatre on Feb. 4 for a one-night event on Disney+ and ABC — and promptly took over everyone’s feeds.

Seriously. I didn’t know I needed a Rizzo the Rat cover of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” until I saw it, and now I don’t ever want to live in a world without it.

The Muppet Show originally ran from 1976 to 1981, pioneering the variety format with a blend of vaudeville silliness, celebrity guest spots, and backstage chaos anchored by Kermit the Frog’s perpetually frazzled calm. The new special revives that spirit with all the familiar faces, including Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and Statler and Waldorf, along with a lineup of contemporary guests, from Maya Rudolph and Seth Rogen (who also serve as executive producers) to pop star Sabrina Carpenter.

But it’s the clips that have really sent fans and group chats into a frenzy, proof that the Muppets understand how to play the internet better than most human celebrities.

Leading the pack is a truly unexpected cover: Rizzo belting out The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” on rat-infested streets. The contrast between the sleek, synth-pop hit and Rizzo’s nasally bravado is instant comedy, and social media has embraced it wholeheartedly.

Then there’s Sabrina Carpenter’s performance of “Manchild,” which has been circulating widely for its playful integration into the Muppet universe. Rather than feeling like a standard guest slot, the performance leans into the show’s absurdity, letting Carpenter spar with the chaos around her — which includes a flock of chickens on backup vocals.

And then there’s the press run. Kermit and Miss Piggy have been popping up together in interviews (including a hilarious episode of Vanity Fair‘s Lie Detector Test), bantering like a couple who’ve been married, divorced, remarried, and media-trained for decades. Their chemistry feels untouched by time.

Long before algorithms and engagement metrics, Kermit and company mastered the art of attention. So, really, the Muppets were built for virality long before the concept of virality existed. The internet is just their latest stage.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency markets are rebounding on Friday after hitting lows not seen in years.

As of publication, Bitcoin has since soared back over $70,300 following yesterday’s crash.

But is the worst really over? Or is the worst yet to come? Despite the recent rebound, one of the experts we talked to warned of further decreases to come.

In a statement provided to Mashable before today’s bounceback, early Bitcoin investor Michael Terpin foresaw an uptick in the market before another potential downturn.

“Most likely we will have a bounce back over $80k before the final plunge, exhausting weary ETF investors into capitulation, despite how oversold we are right now,” Terpin said. “It would be awesome if we could rip the band-aid off quickly and hit the bottom this week or month, but there is really strong buying resistance at $65k and $60k. If we lose that support, price could drop all the way to $45k.”

Other analysts have also predicted that Bitcoin could drop as low as $40k if the current market trends continue.

According to a CryptoQuant analysis, investors should still proceed with caution as crypto whales are currently very active and “account for a disproportionately large share of total deposits.”

“This behavior typically signals that whales are aggressively moving funds onto the exchange, a precursor often associated with heavy selling (dumping) or hedging activities,” the report says.

Head of Bitfire Research Allen Ding told Mashable in a statement that a rebound in the market is “likely to be constrained by the pace of institutional capital returning and the unwinding of market leverage risks.”

With big holders still actively selling, analysts say crypto prices could continue to fluctuate and even start to plunge once again.

The current price range, even after the rebound, also provides a challenge for Bitcoin miners. As CoinDesk reports, the current Bitcoin price is well under the average cost of $87,000 to mine a single Bitcoin. The outlet notes that this has traditionally been one of the signs of a bear market.
