I’ve got three words for the weirdest muppet sketch ever:

Nine. Inch. Snails.

...and if you want to see a really cool movie that has not been produced yet, check out the idea for a remake of the Lord of the Rings with an all Muppet cast here.

[...] The Muppets exploded into worldwide popularity in the 1970s as regular performers on Sesame Street. But as pop culture changed, Jim Henson and his company found even stranger creatures to parody by mingling with real-world celebrities.

Gotta say, I’m surprised you didn’t include the skit with the pig Vikings singing “In the Navy.” God, I love how subversive this show could be.

I overdosed very early on the Muppets as a kid, after awhile I got sick of all the styrofoam. As a teen, I knew a lot of people who quoted the Muppets every chance they got. It got old. By University, there were the Muppet revisionists (those who were suggesting a Muppet Ibsen festival) and that got surreal AND old.

All that said…I watched the Mark Hamill episode. And I laughed…

Awesome collection and great addition Michael but who out there remembers the twisted muppets that lived in a volcano on SNL? Anyone have any idea where to get them?

p.s. why’d the 5th video get pulled?

I think that these are all fantastic videos. However, there was one video that needed to be on the list. Maybe the top video, even. Much more freaky to those of us who grew up with the REM fellahs singing their hearts out. A few years ago, REM was on Sesame Street and sang, “Furry Happy Monsters” as a parody of “Shiny Happy People”. It was awesome and freakishly weird at the same time. Michael Stipe wiping a tear?

Los Telenecos y las estrellas…

Si, como yo, entiendes un poquito de ingles, sufres de nostalgias televisivas y eres un poquito fan de Star Wars, Blondie, The Goo-Goo Dolls, y sobre todo los Muppets (que en Espana se llamaron los Telenecos), estos videos son para ti….

“sure enough — the cast breaks into a poorly-explained music number.”

Since when did the Muppet Show ever explain a spontaneous music number. It just adds to the comedy chaos that is the Muppet Show.

Man… The Muppet Show stamped me for life. I think my self identification as a dorktacular psychedelectable freak started with Pigs in Space, Animal, Beaker, Gonzo, the Professor, Sam the Eagle and all the rest of the gang. More and more now, I’m digging on the two geriatric wisenheimers in the balcony; just the vicious smartass in me, I guess.
And talk about a man(/critter) defined by his appetites burning bright- forget cookie Monster – “Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” – Animal (that is if he could make a coherent sentence.)
“…Inspirational! Muppetational! this is what we call the Muuuuppetttt Shooooooow!” YEAH BABY!!!
