I've really come to appreciate the Muppets as an adult, because now I understand the technical geniuses behind it all
It’s the anarchic sense of fun they had that resonates with me. The fourth wall breaks and that sort of thing. 😊 I always wondered if Henson and Co. got any pushback for that stuff from genius TV and movie execs, on the show as well as the movies. That kind of creativity tends to frighten those in charge of stuff.
To me that running gag about Kermit and Fozzie being twins is one of the funniest Muppet jokes.
OTOH that picture of their dad is nightmare fuel.
Five of the Muppeteers had cameos too, that I could see. Jim Henson of course, you saw in the dinner club scene. Richard Hunt was the briefly seen Taxi driver in the opening, and Kathy Mullen was his backseat passenger. Frank Oz is briefly seen when Gonzo screams "STOP THE PRESSES!", and Jerry Nelson was the father walking past Kermit who said "Bears wear hats." That was his daughter Christine who was with him, who sadly suffered from cystic fibrosis. She passed away a year after this, but Jim Henson made sure she had a speaking part in the movie so that she could get a SAG card (she had wanted to be an actress).
😢😊😢
Damn onion-slicing ninjas.
Did they already do “The Muppet Movie” for a reaction?
This movie starts out with Animal EATING the 4th wall...not even Mel Brooks ever took it THAT far! 😜😁
The bike sequence had its origins in the first movie where Kermit is seen riding a bike along a country road, apparently unsupported or assisted in any way. As I recall, Kermit on the bike was the first WOW moment in “The Muppet Movie” and the audience I saw it with when I was wee was utterly captivated by it. Audience members were audibly asking each other, “How dey do dat??” The funny part is that in an interview conducted after “The Muppet Movie” had been out for a couple weeks Jim Henson said he was getting really annoyed by people asking about Kermit on the bike since it was actually one of the easiest tricks to pull off. There were FAR more technically difficult shots in that movie but all anyone wanted to talk about was Kermit on the damn’ bike. So for “Caper” he had everybody on bikes, figuring that’s what people wanted - and as Matthew said, that wasn’t the most challenging trick in this movie either. 🤣
I must be old, because when he asked if the lady looked familiar, I thought, there's no way she sould be recognized as James Bond's wife or even from the tv show "The avengers". I didn't even think of Game of thrones.
Olds unite; I watched The Avengers on VHS with my Dad. 👍
I used to watch The Avengers on PBS back in the '80s, and loved it.
I found the entire show on a DVD collection on Amazon a few years back. I rewatched all the seasons over the course of a few weeks... good times!
Camelot!
Don’t forget The Assassination Bureau.
What is Game of thrones?
These first three Muppet movies are underrated films and I mean it. The third one is a masterpiece.
My absolute favorite Muppet movie. “Happiness Hotel” get stuck in my head once a week.
If you cosplay Miss Piggy, then your husband will have to do Kermit.
"Do I know that person?"
Damn do I love Charles Grodin in Great Muppet Caper. He plays it super straight, Michael Caine style, and is so horny for Ms Piggy. RIP
He was great in ‘Ishtar’
As a kid, I never questioned his attraction to Miss Piggy.
One of the most heart breaking stories of this movie is the brief shot of the daughter and her dad doing the "Look Dad a bear!" joke was Christine Nelson and her father Jerry Nelson who was a puppeteer on many Muppet and Sesame Street sets. Christine was already in poor health and could barely walk through the scene but they made her dream of being an actress come true. Christine sadly died shortly thereafter in 1982 but it just goes to show the sense of family and camaraderie the Muppet family had.
This is easily the best Muppet movie.
“She went ham “18:10 got me cracking up 😂😂
As a lifelong fan of Jim Henson’s Muppets, from Sesame Street to the Muppet Show to The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth, there’s a special place in my heart for The Great Muppet Caper. I’ve seen every Muppet film in theaters, but this one and The Muppet Movie are just perfection.
Had all of the lead tainted Muppet Caper Glasses from McDonald's. People claimed they were dangerous. Pshaw. I barely lost 35 IQ points.
This is my favorite Muppet film. Absolute perfection.
I friggin’ love you guys. My favorite reactors. You know a movie is good when Matthew The expert can break and laugh. Emily your laughs are adorable and awesome.
The level of meta savagery in this film wasn't appreciated by 5 year old me when it came out. But as a teen and adult, I loved it!
My mom taped this off the tv in the late 80s, but missed the first minutes, so we never knew the title. It was always Happiness Hotel at our house and we loved it. Still say to myself, "Somebody's checkin' in!", when I go to a hotel. Of course, "what color are their hands now" and "I brought the paper towels" are classics.
My family watched these movies over and over when I was a kid. We pretty much had Muppets Take Manhattan memorized at some point after watching the VHS 5 times.
"Tell Ms Piggy it was me"
Omg @2:42 it's the guy from Angel's with Dirty Souls! Or whatever that mobster movie Kevin watched was called.
I think they set this one in England because the Muppet Show was made there and it had recently ended after 5 years and this was a fond farewell to the country by Henson and co.
They returned to England in "Muppets Most Wanted", with a scene set in the royal chapen of St Peter ad Vincula -- where photography is forbidden. It was a reconstruction, and based on memory of the actual church, an incredibly accurate one.
This movie used to be so hard to find. All the others were out, but not this one. I'm glad it's readily available now. That bicycle scene always amazed me. I agree with Emily about how they can convey such a range of emotions with puppets.
Y'all should check out Muppet Mayhem, talks about the band. And to answer that question 9:19 yes that was Jim Henson. Our fearless leader.
My absolute favorite Muppet movie!

I grew up on all the Muppet movies of the 80s - next one is Muppets Take Manhattan (1984) I remember sneaking into that theater w/ my Mom & sis right after we had just seen Ghostbusters. Back then it was so easy to sneak into another theater playing another movie. 😁
Jack Warden was good in every movie he was in. Especially "Used Cars" when he played two roles. Also Peter Falk!!
Treasure Island is my favorite but its always a good time for The Muppets!
The Muppet Movie, the OG of all muppet movies, is a MUST watch.
This is my favorite Muppet movie, mainly because I love Charles Grodin--he was awesome!
Lady Holiday was a major teenage crush for me in the 60's. Emma Peel was a hottie !
One of my favorite lines from all of movies was from this one:
Kermit: "These are just the opening credits. Wait till you see the end credits."
Fozzie: "No one ever read these things, do they?"
Kermit: "Sure. They all have families."
Pure gold! The Muppets are just fantastic humor, great music, and slapstick punchlines galore! :D
This is my favorite muppet movie of all. I wanted to BE Miss Piggy! And the bike riding scene mesmerized me. I was just like, "What is this sorcery!?!"
There is actually a reference/tribute to Miss Piggy crashing through the stained glass window in the movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse.
Strange to see a daylight jewelry robbery, especially when the thieves get away in a black lotus esprit with no windshield!
This is my favorite Muppet movie! It's like Jim Henson made a Mel Brooks movie.
Great stuff!
Thanks!
My favorite Muppet movie is Muppets Take Manhattan, but this one was a lot of fun!
The man that Gonzo was taking a photo of at the resturant is Jim Henson, making a cameo. He's the guy who started The Muppets, made The Muppet Show, the Muppets for Sesame Street, Sam & Friends (which was the first show he made though it was only in the Washington DC area), Fraggle Rock, the three first Muppet movies (even directing this one), The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth (both he directed), The Storyteller, The Jim Henson Hour, Muppet Babies and Muppet'Vision 3D at Disney Hollywood Studios (the last project he worked on before he passed away in 1990 from Streptococcus pyogenes, and was released the following year). He also puppeteered Kermit the Frog, Dr. Teeth, Rowlf, The Swedish Chef, Link Hogthrob, Waldorf, The Newsman, Ernie, Guy Smiley and many more in The Muppets projects, Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock.
23:35 Rocky Muppet Picture Show. YES! Definitely a good idea.
The Mallory gallery is also known as stately Wayne Manor from Batman 1989 and the Nolan trilogy.
Muppets From Space is... BRILLIANT!!!
Yeah, that was Jim Henson. Also, back in the day we had the trifecta... The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper, and The Muppets Take Manhatten. I mean, besides The Muppet Show and Sesame Street. And Fraggle Rock. But for the longest time the movies were those three. The first and third are my favorites.
Still my absolutely favorite muppet movie still.
We need so many more Muppet adaptations.
Muppets From Space.
I saw this movie just once, years ago. The only thing I remembered from it is the song "Happiness Hotel", which still slaps hard.
This and Muppets take Manhattan are my favorite movies featuring OG muppets.
11:54 How you not Peter Faulk aka 'Columbo'?! Peter Faulk is a WHOLE legend out'chea on these streets. 😂
there are so many cameos in this, its amazing. but i think the one that tickles me the most was at 18:29, the truck driver is Peter Ustinov, who i knew growing up as captain blackbeard in disney's "Blackbeard's Ghost", which was a huge favorite of mine as a kid.
He also played Hercule Poirot in a series of movies, most notably _Death on the Nile_ and _Evil under the Sun._
Definitely carry on with the Muppet movies. Muppet Treasure Island especially!!
Chewing the scenery…😂
Well, it looks like she needs to see The Muppet Movie ASAP!
The man and the daughter who passes by Kermit in the park are muppeteer Jerry Nelson (he did Floyd Pepper, Robin Frog, Dr. Srangepork, Camilla the Chicken, Crazy Harry, Lew Zealand, Pops, Louis Kazagger, Uncle Deadly, Thog, Gobo Fraggle, Mr. Snuffleupagus and many more) and his daughter Christine. During The Muppet Show sick was sick cystic fibrosis which made him unavailable during the first two episodes of The Muppet Show and sadly she passed away in 1982 from that desease.
Great reaction. But I just gotta say I love that Pippin looks at you every time you say his name.
I guess I’m old, I remember Diana Rigg in the Avengers with Patrick McNee back during the 60s!
She was smokin’!😂
I've loved this movie since I was a little girl.
The movie that taught me what a cameo was.
- This is my favorite Muppet movie, and I think it's a great template for an anthology show of them doing parodies of genres & movies, not unlike what they did in the imagination segments of Muppet Babies. I think the writing in this one, with the mix of the 4th wall breaking, is just the best comedy of the franchise ... - I first saw this as a child, so I misheard Ms. Piggy's line to Charles Grodin as "Your singing was DUMB!" instead of "dubbed!" I didn't know what the latter meant until I grew up, but both reading are funny AND make sense to me 😄 ... - Watching it now though, I kinda wish Gonzo or Fozzy had a subplot. I don't know where it would go, but it just feels like they're just extensions of Kermit. It's not a bad thing, just something I'm curious to see.
I still have my Great Muppet Caper glasses from McDonald's in my curio cabinet lmfao.
Genuinely, when I was a kid I found the bicycle scene kinda long and tedious because I had no understanding of the fact that it was supposed to seem impossible. I just took the Muppets doing anything as entirely reasonable!
This movie is SO good! Wonderful reaction! Charles Grodin is fantastic in this (and please please one of these days, react to his classic buddy comedy MIDNIGHT RUN). He plays it so straight the entire time and it's fantastic. Grodin also wrote a very very funny "expose" on his affair ("My Night with Miss Piggy" after this movie -- I think it was in People or Vanity Fair, but it was incredibly funny). He was such a rare talent. And that WAS Jim Henson early on!
For your TV show episodes, Jim Henson's The Storyteller. Dark telling of classic European fairytales.
Season 2 is Greek myths and the storyteller is trapped in the Maze of the Minotaur.
Gonzo is my favourite Muppet.
Emily and Matthew, I loved this reaction! "The Great Muppet Caper" is one of my favourites from childhood, and it was so enjoyable to clap and laugh along with you to all the Muppet hijinks. Your 'Stadler and Waldorf' bit at the movie's opening was hilarious!
I think the reason Peter Falk isn't in the credits is because he wasn't in the movie. He was just someone who walked into the shot, sat on the bench and started talking to Kermit.
My favorite of the Jim Henson trilogy - Charles Grodin falling for Miss Piggy (and his lip synching with EVERYTHING he's got!) cracks me up every time. If you can order the dvd (or rent it from your library) PLEASE react to The Muppet FAMILY Christmas (there's another one closely titled to it but look for the 'Family'). It is pure GOLD, for many reasons. I also request Evil Under the Sun; it stars "Lady Holiday" and the truck driver plays Poirot. He is Peter Ustinov and i just LOVE him in Blackbeard's Ghost (which costars that evil doctor from Beethoven, Dean Jones). Please put those 2 movies on your radar
Wow I haven't seen this movie since I was little lol.
If you think about it, it's amazing that Gene Wilder never appeared with the Muppets. It would have been a perfect match.
This is my favorite muppets movie
The best Muppet movie ever!
I actually saw this in the theater. It was great!
Muppets Take Manhattan should be next
Every time I see the Muppet in the band makes me laugh for my brother always she looks like my sister 😭😭
This follows directly after ‘ The Muppet Movie’
When I think of Diana Rigg, I think of Emma Peel and Mrs. James Bond. I'd have to go through Theatre of Blood and The Assassination Bureau before I get to Game of Thrones.
It has been a long time since I've seen this, and I've definitely forgotten how much I enjoyed it.
Some of the Muppet movies are absolutely amazing the original one this one Muppet Treasure Island, Muppet Christmas Carol and even the Muppets the newer one with Amy Adams are hilarious
I don't think there is a bad Muppet theatrical movie, so i have to recommend all the major ones. The direct to video stuff I can't really vouch for. For me, this movie has to be the funniest!
YAY IT'S PIPPEN!!
You guys skipped my favourite part of this movie. When the Muppets and the burglars were fighting over The Great Baseball Diamond, and Animal was chasing the female burglars around the room shouting "Woman! Woman! Woman!" and then he stops and breaks the fourth wall. I've always thought that was the funniest scene in the movie.
How have you never seen "Columbo"? It's a beloved show, they show you the murder up front then you get to watch Columbo pick apart the circumstances. If you want to see some great Peter Falk films then check out "The In-Laws" in which he stars with Alan Arkin, and "The Cheap Detective" which is a spoof of Humphrey Bogart films with a cast to die for.
Lots of good movies around this time. Seems Like Old Times, Meatballs, 9-5, Tootsie, Stir Crazy, Private Benjamin, Little Darlings, and Arthur.
Muppet Treasure Island is a good movie too.
my favorite one is Take Manhattan. Next is Family Christmas you should also react to movie special effects documentaries.
I think it's hilarious that Charles Grodin is the rival of Kermit the Frog here. You just have to change one letter in Grodin and it will translate to the frog in swedish. 😀
🎵 Starring everybody! And Me!🎵
#title Matthew's master muppet mayhem
This is probably the best muppet movie in my opinion. Definitely the funniest.
The joke of them hurling the Muppets around will never get old.
I just pray someone thought to bring the paper towels.
I prefer the one that came out in 1979 better than all of them !! The one from 1979 is the reason that there's so much Muppets in Family Guy . 👍 🐸
More muppets please.I love these movies.I hope The Muppets Take Manhattan is one of next on the list to see.
Grew up watching this move. Showed up all the time on HBO.
6:57 🤣🤣🤣
Yes! Yes! Yes! The funniest muppet movie imo
Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssssssseeeeeeeee do "Muppet Treasure Island" next! For Matthew's title: #CaptainLongJohnSilverScreen
Hahaha Matt's turn to make puns 😆
You should watch the original followed by Muppets Take Manhattan
Please consider watching The Dark Crystal. It's been a favorite of mine since I was five. Some of Jim Henson's best and most creative work.
Watch The Muppets Take Manhattan!!!!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
