The Doozers kind of reminded me of Jamie and Adam back in the early days of Mythbusters.
I love fraggle rock dude
I'm a 39 year old man and am extremely jealous Adam got Frggle hugs.
It’s so fun to watch three people have a five person conversation. 😊
Do you notice how whenever the puppeteers (as themselves) go to nod at something Adam says that they (consciously or subconsciously) make the puppets nod as well? I love it!! (check around the 11:00 to see it on action 😁)
thats a bit rude, just because they're puppeteers doesn't mean they aren't people!
@@ryancarrell3186 true
There's an old story about how once with Rolf the Dog the director kept giving directions to Rolf, who at one point had to point down and say "you need to talk to him, I can't hear anything you say".
That is such a Jim thing to do
Adam these past few episodes have made me so happy. All the questions I had as a child about these shows have been answered. Thank you
That's because Adam is still very much a kid, at heart.
@@JV-pu8kx Adam Savage is a nine year old with adult money
Well, they say the only real difference between kids and adults is that adults have more expensive toys. And, yes, it is great to see all of the behind the scenes that make the magic of puppetry work. Thanks so much for this. And, I'm beginning to realize as folks are wearing the same clothes across videos that most if not all of the creature shop videos were shot on the same day. Wonderful!
@@bbcovault It would be fun to see an entire episode from the view of the director, producer, etc.
What I find really amusing is that even when they weren't playing the characters, and talking to Adam as themselves, the puppets were still moving and reacting without the puppeteers really thinking about it. Mokey's head would move simultaneously with Donna's regardless of whether Donna or Mokey was talking. It was like there were 4 people (or fraggles) talking to Adam instead of just two actors. Each puppeteer was just so in tune with their character they were practically independent. I loved it.
They need to make a Doozer named Tinker and image him like Adam.
Getting hugged by a fraggle must really make your day.
Especially a fraggle as sweet as Mokey.
It is amazing how they give them personality.
So much this.
hugged by fraggles... that is going on the bucket list.
42 years old. Got the entire series on DVD when the 25th anniversary set was released. Still watch them from time to time, and enjoy them with my 5 year old daughter. Entertaining and educational. Fraggles teach so many life lessons, morals, and ethics and the audience doesn't even realize it. Jim Henson was a genius and passed away way too soon.
What a stupendous interview!! I feel like my entire childhood has been explained, this brought so much joy to me today. Thank you Adam!! 🥰
As a 47 year old, such fond memories of the show here in the UK
I watched the original series with my kids and loved it as much as they do. I melted when Mookie hugged Adam!
1:34 to 2:50 is all you need to know about how this interview is going to go. And I am here for it. Even if I did not know the history of Henson and the ad-libs, that 75 seconds of this bears it out, proves it true, and captures pure magic.
Thank you so much for your comment. We so appreciate it.
It is a true testament to the abilities of Donna and John that even while I could see both them and the puppets on screen, could see the hand movements, the manipulation, a literal hand up the butt of the puppets, could hear the occasional faults in maintaining the character's voices - I still kept forgetting that I wasn't watching real, live Fraggles and Doozers. What an absolute pleasure this series has been!
This is what captivates me a lot, the movement of the Doozers. It's mesmerizing lol
Have been watching all these Henson interviews. Am guessing lots of us entertained puppeteering as a dream job. 😁 I am a functional grown up but still give inanimate objects voices and back stories.
Puppetry is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and amazing in ever way!!!! I just forget that they're puppets when they've got them talking. It's incredible!!
I dunno why the heck I smile so much everytime I see a Fraggle (AND I KNOW its just a puppet). But, It really makes me forget the world we live in, even for a second. What pure Joy.
These episodes are awesome - I love how the actors jump in and out of character and occationally the puppets move their lips when Donna and John talk normally. Simply brilliant!! 🤩❤
I love how even when john is showing a puppeteer freaking out ( with mirrored screens) architect looks like he's freaking out
I loved Fragle Rock, when my 47 year old brother was a child.
What a great show.
Thanks for reminding me of a simpler time...
Ahhh, the Fraggles, almost as big a part of my childhood as Star Wars! I always felt sorry for those little guys, when they had all their constructions eaten.
When Moki hugged Adam a teared up and I’m not even a little ashamed to admit. 😊 This muppets series has been unexpectedly endearing. 🙏
Love those Doozers!! Cotterpin is so dang cute! And that hug with Mokey and Gobo got me 😭🥰 Adam is one lucky dude!
I remember reading once there was an interview with Kermit and they had really bad audio because they had accidentally put the microphone on the puppet instead of the puppeteer
im sooo jealous of u adam i would give anything to see the fraggle rock set/puppets/actors fraggles hold a special place in my heart and soul and taught me soo much as a kid in the 80s ... this series of episodes on fraggle rock your doing is amazing .. thank you soo very much adam ♥♥
Nothing in this world is more magical than puppets and Fraggle rock's have enchanted my childhood.
Puppeteers do a wonderful job.
I can tell that Adam being around the Fraggles and the Doozers is bringing him back to his childhood
These Fraggle episodes are giving me great joy. I was 12 when the original series first aired. (I never felt smarter than when I recognized "Travelling Matt" as a film-industry inside joke.) I'm so glad the show has been revived; I feel it was somewhat forgotten while Muppet Show nostalgia carried the day.
_facepalm_
This is not only magical, but insightful and inspiring. Cheers to the Creature Shop and everyone at Tested
Oh such fun. Thank you for sharing the magic... Worked at CTW right out of school as a secretary but loved the whole atmosphere. You are bringing back memories for me as well as sharing the joy of the Muppets and Jim Henson's vision. 🌻
It’s a true testament to the incredible Henson tech that even knowing their performers are also on screen, we still see Gobo, Mokey, Architect and Cotterpin as real beings.
I remember watching Fragale Rock when I was a kid and loving it. I tried to go back and watch the original show and I just couldn't get into it. But this series made me check out the new one and I binged it all within the week. It's a much better, refined show. I was entertained as an adult the way I remember/felt the old show being. They did a great job with it.
These episodes are so joyous. Like probably everyone here, this was my dream job... SFX, Henson puppeteering, all of it. But i didn't know anyone in the industry, didn't live near LA, bla bla bla. The only way i could get even proximally in was when i got into the haunted attraction industry. I always wished i had the opportunity to do this.
It’s weird, even when the puppeteer is right there, when the puppet comes to life, at some level, you still believe it. Thanks guys!
Used to love the intro to Fraggle Rock when the doozers come on the screen with their cranes and diggers and little stuff I was convinced that they lived in the rockery at the bottom of my garden
I love Cotterpin's tiny cotterpin
Right?!
I love how they tend to forget they’re talking and not the puppets at times but keep doing the mouth movements
Omg!
The technology involved with making these little things talk is amazing!
I am so jealous of you getting to boop the Doozers' noses and the Fraggle group hug
I grew up with the original Fraggle Rock (I've written this bit on most of your videos on the Fraggles: My parents subscribed to HBO over-the-air, before cable was available in our city - a second dish antenna pointed at a local transmitter JUST for HBO, broadcasting on "channel 3", and you had a small in-line descrambler and a "switch box" like used for Atari/early RF home computers. Fraggle Rock was the only show my sister and I watched on it other than the occasional kid-friendly movie.) And Cotterpin Doozer was probably singlehandedly responsible for me becoming a "hacker" (in the more general sense - someone who "hacks" things purely to learn about them, from taking apart mechanical toys to see how they work - and more excitingly putting them back together and having them work, to my current career in cybersecurity.)
Watching them go in and out of character so fluidly is so facinating
A few weeks ago I asked for more and you said you would.
You have definitely delivered. Thank you.
cotterpin had my favorite song of the original series. perhaps not musically the best... but for a kid's show, the most important
I’ve been loving these videos from the Jim Henson Creature Shop (one of my dream jobs as a kid!). I laughed so hard in that knowing way when John mentioned going to the break room and dropping into character. It’s something I’m guilty of, randomly going into character voice when I’m not on stage or performing. Like the drive-through.
Thank you for sharing these!!
The Doozer hands are so precious.
Yes more Jim Henson content, they are quickly becoming my absolute favorite company
These have been the best episodes
What an interview. Thank you for this. It's like the best gift for somebody who grew up with the original series.
Cotterpin is the origin of Doozers having personalities!
I have been looking for an animatronic project to sink my teeth into, and I think I might have found it. They are so magical I want one in my home.
Its amazing how alike they sound like the originals
Jim Henson created so much magic nearly 60 years ago that it is still propagating today. Thank you so much Adam and the Tested team for bringing us these Muppet episodes.
I never thought I'd envie someone getting a hug.
Doozers were my favourites as a kid.
I always looked for them in every episode.
Love these. I would love to see these puppeteers be challenged with new puppets, or toasters, and asking them to break down the different emotions they are displaying.
The Architect looks like David Crosby (RIP). I'm loving these videos.
I've been thoroughly enjoying these episodes. I'd give my left arm to be able to sit down with these fabulous people!
Or my right arm to work with them!
I'll give my right . I'm lefty
Oh my goodness! John Tartaglia....just sparks memories of Avenue Q! Awesome actor and puppeteer!
What they were saying about adlibbing while they wait for repairs and stuff reminds me of stuff like the gag reel from Muppets Christmas Carol where they have things go wrong or they're goofing around between takes and they stay in character the whole time and it's hilarious and amazing
Adam you are fantastic
I have worked on puppet projects. What I love is how a good puppeteer vanishes and you only look at the puppet.
Awwwwwwwwwww. The hug
Fragile in the front, Dozer in the back 😅😊 love this series ❤
Love watching the Muppet stuff!
"I've got nothing" made me lol
John Tartaglia has a Tony nom for Avenue Q! He was also in Shrek the Musical as the original Pinocchio! An absolute legend.
When they were talk about having to work very closely. And having a specialist under the table.... Made me think of the Addams Family. And how I recently found out that Ted Cassidy (Lurch) was most of the time Thing. And that Carolyn Jones (Morticia/Ophelia) was his gal Lady Fingers... Crazy to think of them both, very cramped under that table....
Thanks for the video. Hopefully Adam can also have a conversation with Wembley and Travelling Matt.
OMG the most joyful Tested video ever. I was in hysterics for much of this video!
Loved Fraggel Rock!
I am so happy the Fraggles are coming back! One of the few robots I am happy about. I watched this with my late little brother. Despite 6 year age difference we both loved it.
Loving all this Henson content. Last Christmas I took my young son to see Muppet Christmas Carol at the cinema. Muppets have been part of my life since the 70’s ❤❤ thanks Tested 😊
I am really enjoying theses muppets videos..Pupoetry is so much fun
It feels like the new Mokey is like the younger sister of the original puppet. I could see OG Mokey not coming back because she's got some new high-concept art project. 🤣
Pretty cool right
You are welcome to doozerdom, Adam. Feel free to munch on a building!
Love it too much feeling like a kid again
Seeing the title, which should have prompted the thought 'Adam has finally lost his marbles', in fact, my response was 'Which Henson character would I most like to talk to?' 😆
And which Henson character would you most want to talk to?
@@tested UrSu. 😀
@@archivist17 Good choice!
I so love the Muppets ever since I was little. What a dream job!
These videos are completely heartwarming and fascinating. God it feels good to see something be good.
Absolutely LOVED Fraggle Rock! This makes me happy
This episode is one of the really good ones!😊
Doozers!!!!!!!!!
Aww...I love this! When I was little my dad use to call me Doozer, so this hits close to home. So cool to peak behind the curtain a bit haha
I love watching Adam interact with the puppets!
It's choreography.. Done best when you don't see it. Love it
This is so adorable! :D
I want a Fraggle hug now.
if only Jim Henson and Faz Fazakas were here to see how far special effects have come for the Muppets since the 80's
20:22 Kermit, is that you in disguise? And the singer at 24:39 also reminds me of classic Muppet designs. Ah, good times long gone.
Ah yes, the Kermit scrunch face. Jim Henson had several different versions of it -- the "scrunchier" the face, the more put out Kermit was at whatever nonsense was going on around him 😂
This behind-the-scenes interview is so full of nuggets of valuable information, we want more!
Thanks for this great and entertaining interview!
I'm just left here, pondering what an Adam Fraggle or Doozer would be like... 😂
This is like the definition of wholesome.
This series has been so wonderful!!
This Makes me so happy. Doozers are the best 💚
Adam and team, cant you just stop torturing me? Just release the 10 hour cut of the "adam loving every second of being at the henson house" footage!
I love doozers so much they are so cute!!!!
Now they really do have to make an Adam Character!😂😂
🥰🇳🇱
this is so cool. i loved these characters so much watching the original fraggle rock as a kid and its so cool to learn so much about them and see how the come to life.
Im my mind, I've just time-warpped 40 years; thank you for such insightful content
