This, hopefully, will be the rullgood's low watermark as far as inappropriate videos go. This is like the Michael Scott/R.Kelly/Mark Foley mashup of inappropriateness. Truly epic inappropriateness. Ugh. I feel dirty just being in the same room as it.
I'd place even odds on Chris Hansen one day catching up to the creator of this video. And Lil' Jon. Yeaaahhhh! That would be, hands down, the best 'To Catch a Predator' ever. Speaking of which, why didn't anybody ever manage to come up with a 'Celebrity To Catch a Predator'? It's a shame, really. A damn crying shame.

The. Best. Puppet. Rap. Video. Evaaaaar.
Ladies and gentleman - may I introduce you to Internet greatness.
While I am unsure that this is exactly what Al Gore and the other founders of the Internet originally had in mind for their invention, I'm going to ascribe that to pessimism, a lack of imagination, and likely bad taste in music and/or TV shows. In any case, here are a few reasons why this video makes my dreams take flight:
1) Ante Up is top three most badass rap songs ever. Plus, M.O.P. haven't released an album in forever, and if this is the closest I'll get to new M.O.P. material, I'll take it.
2) Bert and Ernie are super sick and dope and shit.
3) The technical mastery - as in a diverse selection of clips, well-matched lip syncing, and lots of puppet jumping - is superlative.
4) The interaction between the various characters is stunning, to say the least.
5) Puppet-rap mashup videos are hallowed Internet ground, in my opinion, and this is the effing Holy Grail of said category. In other words, if mashup videos are the Internet equivalent of disaster movies, Bert and Ernie's 'Ante Up' is like an endless loop of the brief exciting moments in 'Titanic' where the ship is capsizing and everyone's falling off the sides. It's also like 'The Poseidon Adventure' (the original version), if only because the one way that the Bert and Ernie video could be improved would be a healthy dose of a pork chop-sideburned Gene Hackman.
