Muppets Underwater

Muppets Underwater is a nonexistent Muppet film often cited by Jason Segel as the type of film he was trying to get the Muppet franchise away from when he and Nick Stoller were developing The Muppets.

Throughout 2008 and 2009, while doing publicity for Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I Love You, Man, Segel often mentioned the fictional film—occasionally along with such other nonexistent films, such as Muppets in the Sahara, Muppets in the Old West, and Muppets on the Moon—when describing the type of bad "concept films" he felt the Muppets were been producing at the time. Segel continually stated he didn't want to make a novelty film with a central gimmick, like "Muppets Underwater," but rather he just wanted to make a classic film where the Muppets get together to put on a show.
