The Muppets try Google+ Hangouts in new ad

So Google, being the company to not do things by half, have released a new ad promoting it's social networking efforts, showing the Muppets sharing a 'Hangout' group chat.

We couldn't help but smile at our childhood icons (particular favourite has to be Beaker), share the video conferencing stage to cover Queen and David Bowie's classic "Under Pressure."  Google couldn't help but show us the situation where "famously good friends get together in a Google+ Hangout, to rock out and blow off steam."

The network might not have been the runaway success people initially thought a few months ago; but credit to them for making some pretty awesome promos.  Check it out below.
