Good news, muffin fans! Amy Winfrey posted six new Muffin Films last year. They're in the smaller tin on the right. And there's still a few days left to enter her 2011 Muffin Art Contest!

The Muffin Man is seated at the table in the laboratory of the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen. Reaching for an oversize chrome spoon, he gathers an intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants, and brushing his scapular aside, he proceeds to dump these inside of his shirt.

He turns to us and speaks:

"Some people like cupcakes better. I, for one, care less for them."

Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing annoinment utensil, he puts forth a quarter-ounce green rosette near the summit of a dense but radiant muffin of his own design.

Later, he says:

"Some people like cupcakes exclusively while, myself, I say: there is not, nor ought there be, nothing so exalted on the face of God's great Earth as that prince of foods...the muffin."

It is known.

This was one of the things that was, like, my introduction to flash videos back when I was in... middle school, I think?

Also, my dad is a big Zappa fan and Muffin Man is my ringtone for him. He sometimes calls me just to hear it play.

Wow. This was one of the things that I tried to show everyone in college in 2000(?). I haven't watched any since then but I was able to sing along to MuFinale without a problem.

Thank you!

Yay! One of the Easter traditions in my house is watching all of the Big Bunny films. Just the other day the cat was meowing and my 12-year-old put on a deep voice and said "What is the matter, crunchy kitty?"

What can't I do on an iPad? I can't watch these, that's what I can't do! (And before long I might not be able to watch them on Android either.) When will come the HTML5 muffin cartoons?

Also just because I can: DERPY HOOVES LIVES

I don't know much about Frank Zappa, but every time I find out something new I seem to like him more.
