The Muppets Shill for Barclaycard Entertainment!

You may have heard that The Muppets are performing a set of live shows at London's O2 arena in June.

What you may not know, is that Barclays bank is an official partner of the venue, and now the all three have teamed up to promote the shows. 

Over the weekend Barclay's had a wrap around ad in the UK paper Evening Standard. As you can see below, the ad features Kermit, Floyd, Animal, Beaker, The Swedish Cehf, Camilla, and Gonzo.

Yes, they're all basic stock images we've seen before, but they work well in the ads. 

That's not all though. To coincide with the ads, Barclays enlisted the actual Muppets for a TV commercial as well. 

The whole things is timed to promote The Muppet Take the O2 July 13 & 14th. Tickets are on sale now.
