I've seen those before. They're pretty good. They remind me just a little of the Itchy and Scratchy cartoons on The Simpsons.
Jim Henson definitely did a lot of stuff that's a bit weirder and edgier than what he's normally associated with. For another example, have a look at this:

When would you ever see anything like that on The Tonight Show now? BTW, the music is by the great Raymond Scott, who also composed a lot of the famous pieces like "Powerhouse" that were used in the Warner Bros. cartoons.
I remember that there used to be a somewhat similar thing on Sesame Street back in the day that would give me nightmares:
