0:41: Even Kermit finds this to be distasteful. That’s the kind of self-aware humor I enjoy.
Are you gonna do all those moments? Even make part 2?
Shut up, Ugly, you're a fucking disgrace to Courage The Cowardly Dog.
very weird how these are intact on Disney+
It was nice to see Statler and Waldorf contribute.
@garthdavis4320
Statler & Waldorf are the Original Grumpy Old Men.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Not seen here, they hosted the show when Hal Linden was a guest. One of my favorite episodes. I hope he got a better deal when he appeared on Captain Kangaroo! LOL
An entire episode's worth of moments from episodes that feature the Disney+ disclaimer.
Is nobody gonna mention that Fozzie roasted Statler and Waldorf for taking his spot as the bad comedian and vice versa
Me the resident mixed race person of color:
*laughing at all of these* honestly people need to chill out. Comedy is an art form and should not be policed.

As an American, I approve of this comment.
As a White man, I don't need your permission to enjoy racist humor.
As an Asian-Australian man, I agree with this. I enjoy Statler and Waldorf's number and it's a shame people are easily offended today.
@@RabbiHerschel good I’m not saying you do :-)
This is great, brings back some memories. I remember watching the Muppet Show in syndicate all the time in my youth because I was too young in the 70s to remember much of when it was first run. Still, what a brilliant show it was.
i still think is funny (and a little stupid) that an entire episode gets a disclaimer for the "indian love call" segment that doesn't last 10 seconds
I thought it was because of the Turkish song.
Were those both in the same episode? If so, then the combination of the two would probably warrant a disclaimer.
@@nathanielvaughn6728 Muppet songs will always be the greatest songs in TV history
@@nathanielvaughn6728it’s actually two separate episodes: The Turkish one is from the Joel Grey episode while “Indian Love Call” is from the Jim Nabors episode.
I used to watch this as a kid. I'd forgotten how much joy this show brought me. Now, 40 odd years later, I get so many more of the jokes and it's bringing me joy again. Thank you for uploading these, Sam!
"Ah, Turkey." That's clearly the Taj Mahal in the background. India and Turkey are not interchangeable. And this is coming from someone who loves the Muppet Show.
Oh, I thought that was part of the joke!
That dancing cheese would probably be the best character on the show, better than both the salami and the bologna combined
I am proud to be the first to recognize your excellent Wacky Delly reference.
Well played! Give this person a reward!
I don’t know. His dialogue had a lot of plot holes. I have to admit, he is a well rounded individual with a Gouda sense of humor. He really cuts the mustard with a tastefully rye joke.
A lotta people in the comments can't grasp the basic concept that being nice to people is better than being offensive for the hell of it
Ain't social media wonderful?
0:50 - Translated *"Insidious amphibian!" "This will be the last time I'll be working on show business with you!"*
Oh I thought that was mock Chinese like the Swedish Chef
I grew up with The Muppet Show: the offbeat, slapstick humour was side-splittingly FUNNY!!! Love it!
😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️
I mean the Fozzie dressing up as a girl is actually funny ngl
If anything, it's a shoutout to the drag community (in a way, that's what I thought). I guess Disney isn't fond of that, huh?
Politically incorrect or not, that burlesque number was old school fire!
Family Guy and South Park today get away with much, MUCH worse.
So does It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Robot Chicken does too.
For the most part, it's part of the joke how offensive what is being portrayed is. I don't think that was really the intention with most of the stuff on the muppet show.
Yeah, The Muppets was supposed to be for families as a whole, so they didn't go full adult-oriented, but only with some winks towards it. You didn't have puppet shows targeting only adults, and as for cartoons, the most you had in the 70s and 80s were cartoons by Ralph Bakshi
@@oshomroni Right! For the people talking about more modern animation getting away with things ... Go watch Fritz the Cat 😂
Alright whoever’s under the floor playing Ralph’s piano parts was doing damn good work
I think Gonzo's depiction of Spanish is far more offensive than him not wanting to dance with male cheese.
Just shout vaguely Spanish words
8:27 Oklahoma in Yokohama!
appreciate your work!!!
As a Hispanic, I kinda find these funny.
As a fellow Hispanic I find these hysterical
As a Hispanic I feel cheated that I didn't get to grow up with this show
Hispanics have thick skin in my experience. Most don't get offended easy.
Art! ❤ love it!
I truly miss Jim Henson and his talent to enjoy all aspects of life!
Fat jokes and crossdressing I don't see a problem with. It's the ethnic sterotypes especially in Spike Milligan's episode that kind of make you tug your shirt collar 😅
I've been binge-watching The Muppet Show recently, since I figured something nostalgic and feel-good would help my depression, and while I'm still loving it on the whole (obviously enough to keep binge watching it), it's been more than a little uncomfortable realizing just HOW many more well-meaning-but-culturally-insensitive jokes and songs are in it than I'd remembered. I'd be lying if I said a lot of the scenes in this video and even some that aren't (like the "Pass That Peace Pipe" number in the Liza Minelli episode) didn't put a knot in my stomach when they come on. It's not just recognizing certain jokes that you couldn't get away with any more (comedy is the art of getting away with something, after all) or secondhand offense, I straight-up don't find these moments funny any more.
I realize that when you're watching a decidedly raunchy TV show thats now almost half a century old, which itself is grandfathering in songs and gags that are even older, you're inevitably going to see things that don't align with modern values whether you like it or not, but it's hard to shrug off the things that feel decidedly thoughtless towards the feelings of those who've been historically misrepresented by mainstream entertainment, especially when so many have been continually voicing their unhappiness about it and rightfully demanding better for the last decade. It's also just an unfortunate reminder of how much great classic American entertainment, including stuff that's near and dear to me, is rooted in not-so-great history.
Still, I don't blame "political correctness" or "easily offended PC babies" for anything. None of this would be considered offensive if so many more people didn't have the opportunity to speak for themselves than they used to, and I think it's great that we live in a time now where there's a much higher expectation from mainstream entertainment to be more respectful of the people who want to be entertained, not to the point that it's so inoffensive that it's boring, obviously, but so we can laugh more at the things that unite us rather than divide us, which I think it what Jim Henson would have wanted. And I'm glad that this show is still available for people to watch and take how they wish. This way, we can not only reckon with our past for a better future, but future comedians can get a better idea of what they CAN still get away with.
All the episodes of The Muppets including The Politically Incorrect Bits should be on FreeTV.
Surprised they didn't complain about the Lobster Banditos
19:57 - i know the context and content, But i genuiely Love this song
Right? That song is a morsel of absolute happiness.
Same
But it WOULD be weird for Gonzo to dance with a male cheese! I mean seriously though.
If he did, then it wouldn’t be ‘strait’ cheese. And that’s ‘cutting’ it lightly.
I liked how he mentioned San Diego during the sketch lol
The only episode I can respectfully understand them pulling or censoring in any way is Chris Langham
?
@@BlamoStramo en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Langham#Arrest_and_conviction
For context
That guy sucked
Fozzie in the space pigs segment looks amazing!
I also don't see problem with fozzie in drag considering he is doing his mother could see him perform in any capacity. Which fails because his mother has been asleep for God knows how long.
In the sketch, "Miss Piggy" (Fozzie) is being sexually harassed. That's probably more "problematic" than dressing as a woman.
@@djm5687 I suppose. Though I don't recall seeing a disclaimer for the Cleo Laine episode. Maybe I haven't been keep track of the disclaimer than I thought. Also didn't something like the happen in the Rudolph Nureyeve episode?
It’s the sexual harassment
@@djm5687
But...she sexually harassed people multiple times. How come those never get flagged?
Removing the Chris Langham episode? That's respectable!
Removing episodes because of music licenses? That's fair.
Removing practically Statler and Waldorf's Spotlight? No thank you!
None of the sketches featured in this compilation were removed. The ones that were (for music licencing) are featured here: th-cam.com/video/Fntz15gUkYk/w-d-xo.html
Fozzie heckling Statler and Waldorf got me laughing.
Anyone triggered by any of this is too hypersensitive.
Some people think "being offended" is worse than getting cancer.
Maybe they did back when this was uploaded. Not as much since twitter’s populated by 80% xenophobia now.
Why would people complain about Mad Dogs and Englishmen? I thought it was a pretty good song.
Me too
'Mad dogs and Englishmen' is wondweful!
Remember that what you see here might not have been considered offensive when The Muppet Show was produced during the 1970's and 1980's. It's also worth noting that the Asian stereotypes, "fat" characters, etc., seen here aren't usually being mocked or treated like they're stupid.
You forgot the gypsy sketch from the James Coco episode and "Swanee" from the Crystal Gayle episode.
@Peter Reilly The Muppet Show version of "Swanee" contains characters dressed as German stereotypes.
I think we need to recognize that there is comedy, and then there's meanness (racism, xenophobia, misogyny, etc).
Sometimes comedy is funny, and even people who are a part of the group that is being satirized laugh at it. But, then there are other times when the attempt at comedy goes too far with harmful stereotypes, and it hurts the group being portrayed in the comedy. What's funny is subjective to each individual, unless it's meant to be mean & harmful to a particular group. Some things are downright funny & sometimes things are downright mean & racist. It comes down to a mix of intent of the production, and how much the target of the comedy can accept. I think we can probably agree that Jim Henson Productions & The Muppet Show had no malicious intent against any particular group of people, & the results of their skills, creativity, & writing were then & continue to be funny. But, if at any time they crossed a line, then the target of their comedy has every right to complain. Try to laugh as much as possible everyday. It's good for you.
Your comment should be pinned
☝️🤓
Seriously, they're flagging fat jokes? That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life! People need to learn to take a joke. And this is coming from a guy who is himself rather fat.
Disney isn't, but for some reason certain fans seem to think there's something wrong with them.
@@2011supergamer as Garfield would say, "I'm fat and I'm proud!"
@Peter Reilly see, that's funny
I think it’s hilarious but I can get why they flagged it
Really wish they would have said chubby chops at least once tho😂
22:19 was kind of disappointed he didn't say "chins up"
Is that Peter Sellers as the Gypsy
Yep
Yes it is.
Gonzo won't dance with a male cheese but he seemed to be attracted to Big Bird when *he* was a guest on the show.
But then again, Big Bird is supposed to be only six years old, and that's just ew.
Don't overthink this stuff.
Well, they ARE owned by Disney now.
Didn’t Big Bird kiss the guest star on that episode? I think they used his character more as an adult version of BB rather than his Sesame Street version. I wouldn’t overthink that one
Just like priests. Doesn’t like men, certainly likes boys though.
It was actually nice seeing Fozzie get to heckle Waldorf and Statler for once! 😂
piggy getting a little bulgy, kermit will be a flat frog ( by her chop)
Muppets based moments
I never expected to see Peter sellers on here…
:D :D Oklahoma has turned into Yokohama!
Hehe. Today i learned a lot from Jim.
“The gang gets racist”
What happened to the muppets that had physical racial caricatures?
Long live political incorrectness!
I think there’s a Rolf joke missing.
19:09 absolutely brutal
19:58 Dogs wearing pith helmets.
We used to have more freedom back in the Muppet Show days.
The best part about being politically incorrect is that you can actually enjoy things
@Peter Reilly I never saw it that way. I just hated it because it was a complete butchering of history by making everyone black, gay, or both
As all white men want above all else, to do what they want especially when they hurt someone that they don't consider important.
Exactly
@@Sumschmucknobody was doing that to historical figures. Your confusing reality with fiction.
Beautiful.
Disney+ has this warning disclaimer saying “This Program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or culture”.
24:57
Best Part Yet
Kermit guessed right minute and half number changed
As a reminder: if felt puppets making harmless jokes offend you in any way, there is something wrong with you.
@Peter Reilly You can disagree if you like, but that doesn't change the fact that these are just glorified hand puppets and if you can't handle those jokes, maybe you should go back to kindergarten.
I've never believed that society should be held accountable to the most fragile of its members.
As a reminder; if people being upset over traumatic events or racism annoys you in any way there’s something wrong with you
(seriously not everything is about you get it through your bunker of a skull)
@@redwhines2858 It's just a joke. People don't have the right to claim to be "traumatized" by something which happened decades or centuries before they were born. Get that into your head.
@@Aristocles22 how did I know you were gonna say that XD anyway keep your opinions to yourself skinhead
Oh wait it’s just a joke you can’t be offended
@@redwhines2858
You getting offended over jokes and overinflating your "trauma" is making things about YOU ya hypocritical dunce.
9:45
Funny as Hell
Nothing un-p.c. here, All funny stuff.
Love this!
Everything else I can understand....but crossdressing? Seriously? How precious are you?
I miss it when the entertainment industry wasn't corrupted with whiny little kids that would get offended by stuff isn't even meant to be offensive. It's hard to not cancelled or slapped in the fact for even just saying a swear word, everything is so politically correct now it's super painful and I hate the fact it gets worse all the time. This is the type of stuff I grew up with as a child, even the "offensive" stuff would leave me rolling in tears. God forbid if George Carlin lived long enough to experience this for himself, he wouldn't stand for it at all.
The muppets was for adults (originally).
We'll get it back, whiny little kids will become all but extinct.
@Rene Astle
The only problem is there are new ones born every minute. What do we do about those?
@@reneastle8447 sorry to tell you but you guys are the ones becoming extinct. Racist or offensive comedy just isn’t it anymore. Times change. Stop living in the past.
@@lovelightstarboy True, nobody wants that kind of comedy. I prefer clean comedy too.
What happens if the muppets had actual child actors for guest stars?
Brooke Shields
I mean other than Brooke Shields.
@@alextavalesthemuppetmaniac5607 I'm pretty sure she was their youngest guest.
Like whom?
Disney plus keeping this but but not muppets tonight ..
There’s no problem with these tho btw
I kinda get the political issues with these clips, but the dancing cheese clip, I don't get how its bad
On Disney+, the episode containing that clip got a content warning but for the longest time I couldn't figure out why. Then I assumed it was because of Gonzo's comment about "dancing with a male cheese being 'weird'".
Ahhh I get it
@@rexy5650 Don't the male cheese thing is really offensive. I think the joke is that he thinks the male is weird but not the fact its you know, cheese. Unless I'm missing some slang.
@@samp.8099 Thats still a hella stretch. The joke's obviously more directed at Gonzo for not thinking there's anything weird about dancing with a cheese in the first place.
@@2011supergamer That was just my assumption, it might have been something else.
Check out bay of pigs watch on muppets tonight
Funny as f#*! and definitely politically incorrect
Laughed my arse off😂😂😂😂
Humor is neither right nor left, and very little is truly off limits. When people start remembering that and not caring about shitter shattered dickweed assholes who want to shout WAH OFFENSIVE, the humor and entertainment industry will recover.
Politically inappropriate?
Why? Only funny humour of its time, which does not offend anyone who lived at that time. It's pointless to start judging and complaining today.
I'm not complaining about the "funny" humuor being made these days either.
I think the whole thing with Rudolph Nehru
Y'know for famillies.
When are you going to get back to work on the compilations? I really want a Muppet Labs compilation!
I'm just watching this not noticing anything about what's correct or what's political, I'm just enjoying the international humor.
It's called humor
great memories before snowflakes took over censorship
Holy fuck this was hilarious.
Eh, politically incorrect, but still funny and silly.
gasp
I'm so politically incorrect I laughed the whole way through. Peter Sellers skit has a real goat in the background. With the Gonzo sketch I guess the cheese was gouda enough. (Sorry!) The James Coburn skit was Top Ramen.
Funny
When comedy was funny...
25:24 they look like podlings mixed with the grudge!
23:19
❤😂❤😂❤😂
.
See definition of Humor or Humour. That explains comedy, so stop being a hypocrite and laugh a little as nobody is perfect. You're telling me you've never laughed at a joke that pokes fun at others, however when the comedian or show in this case hits many races/cultures, it is acceptable as the topic of laughter because of the 'poking' diversity given to all in the audience? HUMAN HYPOCRISY!
Thanks for ruining my childhood, Disney! When I was a kid, in the 80s, I used to watch these with my dad before going to school in the morning. I still watch them on dvd, the whole shows!
What are they going to be "little snowflakes" about next? Rudolf Nureyev's ballet outfit being "too revealing"?! LOL
These clips are all still on Disney. You are getting yourself all wound up over nothing lol you can still watch the WhOle ShoWs
... Wow people really take offense to this? People need to get lives. Pretty soon we won't be able to joke about anything, and I'm saying this as a person who is as liberal as they come.
Hilarious. Screw Disney.
Anyone offended by these needs to be locked in a madhouse.
Especially the Politically Correct Police .
