If you don't want to sit through the entire four minute piece, in celebration of the upcoming Emmys, let me sum up the plot for you: The Muppets act like the Muppets as always with each other and with other famous people, most notably Julie Bowen and Viola Davis.
Then three-and-a-half minutes in or so, we finally get a product placement. Kermit syas "it's not easy being green." Joel McHale gets his Audi and says "Oh yes it is." And then he Kermit the frog he means green as in he's an environmentalist, not a racist.
The content ends on an Audi client asking "Is it weird that Joel McHale just made a nonsensical and very awkward racist joke while sitting in our car?"
