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
Actually the hot lady is the gimmick to make you watch an enormous spider puppet and it’s incredibly talented puppeteers that on its own might not be that entertaining to a broad television audience
I was focused on her choreography. Was that dancing style typical of that era? Because I don’t see much of it nowadays
That puppetry is damn impressive, ngl

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.
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🤣👍
And I think he did it *before* the Simpsons used the same gag!
Look up the whole thing. Jim Henson has a …mature innocence? I know the documentary called it sophisticated nonsense but it’s that sense of playfulness that Robin Williams had.
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! 😉💋
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
@@Revel8ns320Luckily there’s a man who positively can do everything that makes us laugh and cry, he’s a FAMILY GUY!

Jim Henson is so good.
What he brought into this world can't be calculated in views and clicks. He changed the game forever.
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.
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 😱🧐🤔🤯
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
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
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
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.
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.
They had a 6 year waiting list, and that's assuming they were shooting a new show *every day*
Actually, Jim Henson and his agent, Bernie Brillstein, had a difficult time finding guest stars for the first episodes.
Rita Moreno singing Fever with Animal is one of my favourite Muppet moments
Embarrassed Fozzie Bear is the cutest thing in the world omg.
I'd never seen that bear so flustered. 🤭
I always liked Rolf, my father liked Animal, my brother liked the saxophone one, and my mother liked Fozzie.
Yeah, him flapping his ears is so cute! 🤭
Simply un-bear-able!
Timestamp?
"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 "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 was so happy when the Muppet Show was about to come on. I'd have a bath, then when it came on I'd climb on my dad in his recliner and just simply enjoy life. Such simple pleasures.
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
10:57 the timing and framing there are immaculate! Animal making that crazy face through the “frame” of Rita Moren’s elbow. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or so well rehearsed 😳
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.
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 "Fever" bit with Rita M. and Animal, is classic. Love that one! ❤👍👍❤
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
The work of Jim Henson has taught children all over the world. He is a true hero who changed the world through all his beloved creations. I cried when he died.
"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.
Muppets Gone Wildlife was my highlight
Joan being so candid with Kermie was a testament to her true talent....
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.
I remember her as the lady that screamed “HEY YOU GUYS!” from The Electric Company
4:51
Imagine being Kermit and thinking: *that lucky son of a bitch*
“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
I didn’t get it
Did Gonzo just have the "sex with the secretary in the office" kink with Camilla
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.
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. >_>
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.
I’d say the slap stick and stuff was for the kids watching, and the adult jokes were for…. Well…… adults.
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.
That song was first recorded by The Sons of the Pioneers in 1947. Peter Sellers' version is closer to the version done by Red Ingle though. That song is also the source of the line "A preachment dear friends, you're about to receive ..." at the beginning of "Let It All Hang Out" by the Hombres
sam’s spiel about nudity had me in stitches
Even after all these years this is still hilarious.
“You get that Every Night,Frog” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍Way To Go Miss Piggy
It truly was a sin to miss this show back in the late70's early 80's every week. Great Variety Show.
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...
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"
Fozzie got the wakka wakka ;)
Upstairs for.... Tea...
@@RatelHBadger I wouldn't mind partaking in a cup or two.
@@gorillaau tea for two
Animals reaction to the axe made me laugh so hard
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.
@@TheFreeBass He also played Bert, Cookie Monster, and Grover.
Fozzie might be asking himself "Do I still wanna remain a furry virgin?" 5:20
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” 😂😂❤️
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
Kermit acually said sexiest
'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!
Can we take a second to (try to take our eyes away from Raquel Welch) credit how crazy that spider puppet must've been to create and bring to life? Crazy, man...
6:10......did she say sexsational?......thats now my new favourite word
6:08
*ear wiggling intensifies*
6:14 Fozzie felt the wocka wocka down there ;)
“This is the Complete Kermit you are looking at” oh Kermit 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
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.
Where i have been missing this good ass show
"you dont mess with animal he eats glass man"
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 😂)
Kermit said he doesn't have a wiener D:
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
0:13--"This is not going to be just another cute puppet show."
She can say THAT again!!!
I credit The Muppet Show and The Dukes of Hazzard as the two most defining influences on my young impressionable brain.
Rita Moreno, the wonderful Diva singing ' Fever ' with the comical undertone that kills it, used to be on a show that played after Seasame Street called The Electric Company ( with Morgan Freeman) a psychedelic twin to teaching inner city, and let's face it, all America's kids, with phonics, numbers and amusing skits and animations.
So, it was strange to see Rita doing the Muppets considering, but of course her talents proved to be universally loved.
Look up Rita and her signature " Heyyyyyyyy you guyyyyyyyyyys" opening to The Electric Company.
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!
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
The Joan Rivers interview slayed me. 😂
Some of it is all coming back to my memory, and some seems new. Loving this lol :P
also RIP to Raquel Welch! ICONIC!
Animalstruggling, and failing, to not stare at Rachel welsh after he has already been called on it is something that I can relate.
Roff: son of a bitch
CHILDHOOD ENHANCED
Thanks for putting all of these clips into one funny video! It had me laughing so hard. 😂😂😂
Kermit went from teaching the abcs to sharing his love life to everyone
Before Kermit told us about the alphabet, he was tortured by a guy who wanted him to eat bread and sausages. Jim Henson’s vintage muppet commercials were hilariously dark let me tell ya. I really wish the newer commercials that would play on my TV nowadays could do that.
@@Reddy123-i8swasn’t KERMIT the one that tortured a poor little man into drinking coffee he didn’t like?
@@HannibalTorrance nah. That was Wilkins. He and Kermit are NOT the same guy.
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. ❤😂
The Joan Rivers bit was hilarious
I DEMAND A MUPPET LABS COMPILATION!!!
5:12 Now that was one lucky bear.
If only the show stayed like this..
gotta love the muppets i soo miss this show
*WHEN RITA MORENO THREATENS HIM IN SPANISH IS MY FAVORITE PART!!!* 😂🤣
Stop yelling your post in all caps.
I love how Animal just tanks a tomahawk to the skull.
If any muppet could do it, it’d be Animal. Man is unstoppable.
All these comments are saying muppets arent for kids... Muppets are for every age, every demographic, every one!
😂😂 I never get tired of watching Kermit and Miss Piggy
9:12 Guy in denim coat walks left to right behind car

@@HannibalTorrance for it
"This is the complete Kermit you're looking at..."
And finally she gets the hint 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Peter Sellers singing Jorgi Jorgensen's classic Cigareets and Whusky' with the crowd bits was wild.
I had to scroll a loooong way to find someone who appreciated that as much as I did.
Peter fuckin' Sellers!!
finally we got some of those good old fashion family values on which we used to rely
It was an evening variety show at the time. And it was the 70s. Though I have to say, even as an 8 year old, all that interspecies flirtation did not give me a warm fuzzy feeling.
Thanks jim for making & sam for up loading. This really takes me back 🙌🙌🙌🙏👍
I've always loved the Muppet show cause they are always funny to watch all of the time if you get my drift!
Every Swedish Chef sequence should have counted as adult content based on the shear amount of violence that was taking place
Those're my favorite ones as well.😂
Best......EVER!!!!!!
He used to terrify me when I was 5. Lol
Jerry Nelson performs Strangepork during the Peter Seller episode's final number, but he sounds different than usual.
Sex. Sleep. Food. Drums and Pain. I want that on a t shirt
Put a photo of jungkook on it and you could sell millions
No it’s needs to be animal 😂😂 imagine how many irony purchases would be made
he Muppet Show was my introduction to Alice Cooper and Spike Milligan.
Animal is all of our inner child trying to express ourselves which society doesn't recognize or approve of.
Raquel Welsh was one of my favorites as a a kid ever since her wetsuit in Fantastic Voyage. 😅
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!!
I used to download clips of The Muppet Show from Realplayer when I was a kid. No wonder I'm so messed up now.
"I'm on sesame street for christ sake"😂😂😂
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
Fozzy was the star of this, I’ve always loved fozzy
Raquel Welsh really was an absolute gorgeous lady had the biggest crush on her as a kid. Now as an older fella there are very few female celebrities and the like with her grace and talent.
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 :)
