The State
From Muppet Wiki
The State is a sketch comedy show that aired on MTV from 1993-1995.
A second season episode contained a sketch called "Eating Muppets," featuring The State actors Michael Showalter, Kerri Kenney, Todd Holoubek, Ken Marino, and David Wain. The sketch involved two couples calling Sesame Street-esque puppets to the window and killing them for their meat.
In The State's travel book, "State By State With The State," on how to get to New Hampshire by car, it says, "The long thin thing (shaped like Bert) makes it go, and the wide, shorter pedal (shaped like Ernie) makes it stop."
Also in the travel book, Mississippi's state mascot is listed as "Big Bird (as portrayed by David Brenner)".
