Hearing jim say “son of a bitch” in rowlf’s voice was something i didn’t know i needed til now
It's the nicest thing a dog can say about anybody.
Fucken Eh Bro 🇨🇦💯
Rowlf is my favorite character! Hearing him say, "Son of a bitch" is the funniest thing I never expected🤣👍
Sesame Street is for kids.
Muppets Show is for families.
This video shows the difference.
Yeah, Sesame Street has the occasional reference to something for the parents that are stuck watching it. The Muppet show has bits specifically for the parents.
Happytime murders is for grown-ups.
Was this on cable?
@nataliegillmore7436 Avenue Q is for mature audiences only.
@@guineapiglady2841, the Muppet Show was syndicated to broadcast stations (as in FREE TV) across the USA.
Kermit saying “sexy” completed my life
Remember, its only synonym. Not directly saying it has sex
At 2:30 my favorite fucking
@@MrPhantaze The word is adjective.
It wasn't the first time.
Curvaceous and tantalizing! 😉💋
Sesame Street is targeted towards kids while The Muppet Show was targeted towards adults makes perfect sense
People complain ABC Muppets 2015 being too adult
@@starwarsinfinitywargravity2779 I love the abc one
@@starwarsinfinitywargravity2779 agree to disagree
Disney destroyed the Muppets.
@@benkleschinsky for real
Man, The Muppet Show was dirtier than I expected. That makes me enjoy it more to be honest.
Lol
It's called acting. The Muppet characters were originally envisaged as actors playing parts, occasionally breaking character in the movies to comic effect. Disney seem to be oblivious to this nuance.
"I'm on Sesame Street!"
@@andrewsmart4491 What are you talking about, the Disney movies have the most 4th wall breaks, even if not as obvious, and they also refer to the muppets as actors in movies in interviews
I can’t understand the obsession of some Americans with cleanliness.
They’re missing out on so much.
"Well, you see, there is this pig in my life. If I talk about other women, it's dangerous to my health. She'd break me on two, you know."
"Are you living together, are you sleeping with Miss Piggy? Can we just get right down to it? Are you sleeping with Miss Piggy?"
"Erm-"
"I wanna know."
(Arguing)
"Hey, you can't go on television talking about- I-I'm on Sesame Street for goodness sake!"
The spider puppet is absolutely amazing. It's extremely underrated.
Lucky Graham Fletcher
I am so glad I didn't see that as a child. I'd be terrified for life. It's such a well done puppet
Wait a minute.. thats not a real spider! I saw the wires... 😕
It was more of a costume, really.
@@StupidEarthlings You were supposed to; that's webbing.
I knew Raquel Welch was talented but I didn't know she could sing and dance so well. She is a triple threat!
Btw the songs she is singing is baby it’s me by Diana Ross
Yes, the singing, that's totally what I was focusing on.
In those heels.
@@Dennis-nc3vw She sang?
Her legs and the way she moved in that dance stunned me 😂 so sexy
Celebrities back then practically begged to get on this show along with "Laugh In" and "The Carol Burnett Show". Their ratings were that high.
Guessing Raquel Welch didn't have to beg.
Same with The Hollywood Squares
And News Night.
Jim Henson is so good.
What he brought into this world can't be calculated in views and clicks. He changed the game forever.
Embarrassed Fozzie Bear is the cutest thing in the world omg.
“15 seconds to curtain Ms Morgan!”
“Oh scooter, here.”
*she throws a bomb over scooters head*
“Aw gee thank, hey this is a-“
*Bomb goes off*
Best part ever
That shit had me cackling
Jim Henson’s genius was making TV shows that kids and their parents could love and appreciate equally. It wasn’t for one or the other, it was for both.
YES ! 💯💜🫂
The Anime of Today, compared to THIS 😱🧐🤔🤯
Jim Henson was a genius. I loved this show as a kid. Now I realize that I love it even more as an adult. Can’t seem to find it anywhere in its entirety though - none of the streaming platforms carry it.
I love it when kids shows can be enjoyed by adults as well
I think it's on disney +
@@felixleroy7660 Yep.
You could always find it on DVD
I watched all of the Muppet show on Disney+ and it didn't show several episodes I distinctly remember from childhoom
The original Muppet show was during the 60s and 70s. It was headed more towards young adults. Making points about politics and issues of that time with satire with puppets.
The Muppet Show was never on in the 60s.
This was a special filmed as a pilot (one of two), as in, was literally the first episode of the show.
It started in 1976
michael gibson it always has been
@@davidholzer4155 agree
The "Fever" routine is one of my favourite performances of the number, ever. Rita Moreno kills it... and I thought no-one could top Peggy Lee.
I had a teacher in high school who always said "Seegareets and whiskey and wild wild women" when referring to any debauchery. We had no idea what he was talking about 🤦😂
It took a few minutes to see Peter Sellers through the makeup.
I remember looking forward to the newest episode once a week in the late 70s, I was 8 years old in 1980, and this was the highlight of my week.
Our whole family would be watching, my parents commenting on how good the guest stars were doing, whilst my sister and I sat too close to our 20 inch luxury color TV.
My Dad loved Raquel...I used to sit up and watch midnight horror shows with him, and when Vincent Price guest starred, it was the best episode ever...I even got a Muppets book for my 12th birthday, it had all the best season one drawn with the script. I still have it, 1984 yellow hand drawn Muppet book.
Damn, us Gen Xers had it good.
"Is that true? Does the press give frogs a bad name?"
"That is a racial slur. That whole thing about warts and all."
"In other words, of I touched you, I would not get a wart? Then what's this in my hand?"
"What?"
"It's a joke. If I kissed you, would you turn into a prince?"
"We could try it."
And then Kermit's Swamp Years goes and uses "warts and all" in its tagline.
Did Gonzo just have the "sex with the secretary in the office" kink with Camilla
The "Fever" bit with Rita M. and Animal, is classic. Love that one! ❤👍👍❤
That's right kiddos, it was originally for adults. Even my guitar teacher told me :L
Shiiit such fun
False it’s for the family for everyone kids, teens, and adults can enjoy it
No, it was for families.
4:25 I like it how Fozzie gets embarrassed
Not as embarrassed as the guy with his hand up Fozzie’s rear, virtually clutching Raquel’s left tit.
it's cute!
I think Frank Oz was getting a little hot under there. >_>
The Muppet show was never for kids lol... All these younger people think "Hey it's puppets, it's for kids".
Yeah, it's for the whole family, not just kids. There are stuff that the kids don't get but the adults do. Just like good animated movies, they're not just aimed for kids but having stuff for adults to enjoy which goes over the kids heads.
7:55 what episode is this
It's the episode with the Sex goddess, Raquel Welch... Don't remember the exact date and year.
Philip Thomas thanks
Tedros Fret Sure thing. I watched most of the Muppet Show back in the late 70's up until about 1979, then I was starting to outgrow the show becoming a teenager and all. lol
4:51
Imagine being Kermit and thinking: *that lucky son of a bitch*
I remember her as the lady that screamed “HEY YOU GUYS!” from The Electric Company
6:10......did she say sexsational?......thats now my new favourite word
6:08
Sam's bit about nudity is my favourite from the entire series :D
Completely..... Naked.... 😮😮😮
Absolutely classic bit!
Sam saying WEIRDOS is one of my favorite things.
damn. I cant believe that the muppet show put a stop to violence in movies and sex on tv
Man, where are those good old-fashioned values on which we used to rely?
Luckily there is a family guy
Fozzie got the wakka wakka ;)
Upstairs for.... Tea...
@@RatelHBadger I wouldn't mind partaking in a cup or two.
@@gorillaau tea for two
Even after all these years this is still hilarious.
18:17 my childhood has ended. Bye bye childhood. I miss you dearly
And beloved memories, we weren't ready for the responsibility of certain twisted events. We're terribly sorry for your loss. 😔 ( sorry 😂)
sam’s spiel about nudity had me in stitches
15:14 NO WAY THAT JIM HENSON ACTUALLY SAID IT
Ooooooh,yes he did on the Arnesio Hall Show; & it's a classic moment I always remember, in addition to Ralph's arm in a sling. ❤😂
That stupid over protective mothers group that cancelled The Muppets needs to see this video. Muppets were never targeted to children.
Yes they cancelled the tv show called the muppets due to their stupid complaints
Advocacy groups don't have any power to cancel shows, particularly not loons like the so-called "Million Moms". I'm not sure of any "moral outrage" movements that haven't had positive effect on their target (witness "The Last Temptation of Christ" - which would've been forgotten without the protests. "The Muppet Show" ended on the highest Nielsen ratings ever according to Jim Henson's desire to stop the show at its peak. The recent ABC show "The Muppets" ended on low ratings and indifferent reviews.
No. Jim Henson ended it because 5 years was enough and so they could end whilst it was still in good standing.
The adult Muppet show was the best. I was so pissed when they did that and caused it to go off air. Sucks!
@@RobTheEnby I think he meant the newer show that was done in the style of "The office"
7:25 "could i bring a friend''
Kermit acually said sexiest
Fozzie might be asking himself "Do I still wanna remain a furry virgin?" 5:20
Jim was a fucking genius and I wish they’d do another adult special, if Disney didn’t own the Jim Henson company it’d be so fucking cool to see them make a muppets special for adult swim or something.
I believe someone tried it, they called it "The Happy Time Murders". It didn't do very well, if I remember correctly.
Jim Henson was able to toe the line that they couldn't; they were too immature for adult humor. XP
@@SuperSenshi The issue is that they went too far. The original Muppet shows were more measured, not grotesque or obscene. It was more elegant.
@@thespeedster4451 That's what I mean when I said that he toed the line.
@@SuperSenshi A
I wanna see The Big Lebowski remade with Muppets. The Great Gonzo
Animals reaction to the axe made me laugh so hard
Muppets Gone Wildlife was my highlight
Joan being so candid with Kermie was a testament to her true talent....
I'll bet this is the only known show in the entire history of TV that that's actually rated "TV-G" (according to the TV Guide from a 2000 rerun) that has the naughty S word directly in the title...
If only the show stayed like this..
I know that I'm supposed to focus on the hot lady but my mind is fixated on how impressive the spider muppet is.
FRRRRRR THAT LOOKED SOO COOOOOL
6:14 Fozzie felt the wocka wocka down there ;)
TODAY'S ENTERTAINMENT DON'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO THIS LOVED THIS SHOW
I really miss quality shows like this. There's not a "celebrity" today who could demonstrate half the talent as those who used to appear on The Muppets.
juvenoia is dangerous
I agree with you to an extent. But there are a few exceptions. Mariska Hargitay for one.
@@MsYounghippie The 'Law & Order' chick? Yeah fair enough as an actor. I've never seen her sing or dance otherwise. People on the Muppets could often sing, dance or act (sometimes badly!)
Mariska would be funny since she has good comedic timing.
I love the Muppet show but you are absolutely ignorant if you think nobody is as talented as this today. There’s no other word for it, just ignorance
I grew up on the Muppet Show. Sesame Street was there too, but I never got into the characters other than the Count and Oscar- occasional Cookie Monster. (Yup, Bugs Bunny girl here, 😉😂). I actually had to look up some of these as I couldn’t totally remember Raquel and Fozzy, I KNEW that had to be Rita signing Fever, and yet: thanks so much for the Ruth Buzzi clip. We weren’t a Laugh In house when I was young, but I could tell straight off (read the wiki, she is Awesome!). Thanks so much for the memories. Now I really want to find the Eagle clip clip re: nudity and post that as a “yeah, book banners, this is pretty much what you sound like” 😂😂❤️
The Joan Rivers part made me laugh way too hard
same!
She was famous for making people blush but not too many turned the tables on her like that.
The shoulderpads alone would have held it up...
Me too
This is the complete Kermit youre looking at!
The Joan Rivers bit was hilarious
I grew up watching the Jim Henson's Muppet Show, it was awesome.
"you dont mess with animal he eats glass man"
Thanks for putting all of these clips into one funny video! It had me laughing so hard. 😂😂😂
Hey Disney, you paying attention? Get back to the real Muppet spirit that made them great. Not just kid's stuff and overly sweet.
William Rickman did you watch the ABC show
Or how about sell The Muppets to someone else and not be associated with all that Disney crap.
Actually they did "The Muppets"2015, but parents complain about it.
@@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane Disney doesn't know what they are doing.
The 2015 muppets was wack. It was 30 rock with muppets. It had ots moments but it was trying way to hard.
I DEMAND A MUPPET LABS COMPILATION!!!
15:14 O_O adding that to the list of things I wouldn’t have ever thought I would see/hear outside of a parody
Sex. Sleep. Food. Drums and Pain. I want that on a t shirt
Roff: son of a bitch
CHILDHOOD ENHANCED
Kermit went from teaching the abcs to sharing his love life to everyone
So much for the "End of Sex and Violence"
Rita Moreno, aside from being a comedic genius - I love when she goes off in Spanish and then ends with “cool it!” - did that whole number to just a click track. The actual drums and bass you hear were added later. She had to just count the clicks in her head and it took dozens of takes. Of course, her own telling of this story is hilarious.
The Joan Rivers interview slayed me. 😂
Where i have been missing this good ass show
15:14 that’s what he said
All these comments are saying muppets arent for kids... Muppets are for every age, every demographic, every one!
The puppeteer for Fozzy had the best job that day. Spent that whole song in her lap!
That would be Frank Oz... same guy that did Miss Piggy, Sam the Eagle, & Animal then later became Yoda.
Some of it is all coming back to my memory, and some seems new. Loving this lol :P
also RIP to Raquel Welch! ICONIC!
'Animal' was the coolest Muppet ever !!
Him and James Coburn was always my favorite. Coburn TRIED to get him to calm down but it just wasn't to BE!
Rita Moreno singing Fever with Animal is one of my favourite Muppet moments
😂😂 I never get tired of watching Kermit and Miss Piggy
That spider really wanted some
Jerry Nelson performs Strangepork during the Peter Seller episode's final number, but he sounds different than usual.
he Muppet Show was my introduction to Alice Cooper and Spike Milligan.
gotta love the muppets i soo miss this show
the muppet show may not be 4 kids but sesame street is. cartoons are NOT 4 kids. if betty boop bent over you could see EVERYTHING except London
France & the promised land.
not true; if Betty Boop bent over you could see the promised land :)
The Muppet show was hilarious. I remember one show where Roger Moore was a guest host and was being attacked by Muppet's dressed as spies; I couldn't stop laughing, there were Muppets dressed in black flying all over the place. I tried to find a clip, but couldn't.
The level of artistry... Song, dance, musicianship, singing, puppetry, humor, social commentary.. Nothing approaches this. Today's mainstream media would not allow this level of complexity. Lament.
20:48 Pretty damn brave to stand against the nicotine lobby back in the day.
Great stuff. Thanks for posting.
What about the time when Statler and Waldorf “put the show out its misery?”
And the time when they were shooting at the cast with a machine gun?
Although Statler said they were blanks, that should probably count.
9:38 Darn it I'm getting memories of Spider-Man 3
And that’s a bad thing ?
Animalstruggling, and failing, to not stare at Rachel welsh after he has already been called on it is something that I can relate.
I've always loved the Muppet show cause they are always funny to watch all of the time if you get my drift!
I grew up on the street...Sesame Street that is. Animal has always been my favorite. He was the coolest and most Badass Muppet character there was. Animal Rocks!!
And also, Janis, The Hippie guitarist. She's the best too!!
1:27 Raquel Welch in a skimpy dress.
I used to download clips of The Muppet Show from Realplayer when I was a kid. No wonder I'm so messed up now.
Although I'm only 13 even as a young toddler I always preferred The Muppets over sesame street, due to spending a good chunk of my life in an environment where I was forced to grow up faster than I really should have I grew out of shows like sesame Street rather quickly, and shows like this one grabbed my attention, it's always funny to see adult jokes in kids shows.
“a young toddler”
Love it brings me back!💥
Surprisingly I seem to only remember seeing the musical number that started at 9:40 when I was kid
I love how Animal just tanks a tomahawk to the skull.
*Most Based Way To Keep Things PG:* 0:20
The song Mahna mahna came from what would be considered an X-rated movie today.
The thing about the Muppets is and I know I'm not the first or last person who's probably already commented this but it was never a children show I don't remember if it had a Primetime slot but it was never really a children's show. But you can't fault it for being interpreted as one it was clearly made as a pg-rated piece of media that was geared towards as general an audience as possible you could watch it at any age it's just one of those multi-faceted demographic pieces that's too wholesome to not be made with children in mind but also so much of its humor and style drawers from a classic collection of influences that grown-ups will appreciate for multiple reasons and yes a little bit of edgier jokes here and there helps as well
“You get that Every Night,Frog” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍Way To Go Miss Piggy
The 70's were wEird.
This 22:32 min video just vindicates that it's okay to love The Muppets!!!!!!! As a kid I was picked on for loving The Muppets. The ignorant people didn't realize that Jim Henson hated being pigeonholed as a kids entertainer!!!!!! Anybody who has read/owns a book on Jim Henson or has researched his work knows that about him. He expand his horizons when he took on Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock as projects. Still Sesame Street back in the days when Jim Henson was alive appealed to the parents so that they could watch it with their kids. Fraggle Rock had messages that could reach to both kids and adults. The Muppet Show was aimed towards an adult audience but it appealed to the kids as well. The adult humor went over the kids head. It sure did for me until I saw them as an adult when I first got Season 1 on DVD when it first came out when it was released in 2005 when I was 17 years old. Just like Walt Disney with animation. Jim Henson pushed the boundaries with what we thought about puppets. Their work appealed to both kids and adults and they sent messages. Nowadays most people aren't creative anymore which is a shame. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
BayareaGuy06
Wish I could thumbs up your comment over and over and over again! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😀😀
Jim also wanted to make content that could appeal to the inner child in every adult. As well as use the medium of puppetry to teach kids things that would benefit them as they transitioned into adulthood.
Too many people want to treat children as an entirely different species of innocent little creatures that must never learn about certain subject matters lest it alter their entire perceptions of life. Then as they get older those same groups want to bitch and complain that teenagers and tweens don't know anything about the world. Like, they don't know because you kept it from them! You kept them purposely ignorant of the world to preserve their precious childhood innocence and then when childhood was over you just decided that they should have acquired this knowledge from "somewhere" by "means" because "reasons" and when that *didn't* happen you whine! What did you expect?!
Calm down, bud.
Well I will be
"Kids Entertainers" is in my name thx for summoning me
Musicians were on point very tight.
Oh no Henson! Here’s more trouble again!
8:54
I've heard of being thickheaded, but this is Ridiculous!
It's like '90s cartoons; they got away with sooo much 🤣🤣🤣
