Muppet Show - James Coburn and Animal

[daarl]

They are meant to be!

[AwakeningUs]

LOVE IT!!!



[YuiHarunaShinozaki]

Now everytime when I'm doing yoga and everytime the teacher says "Relax", I always think of this sketch LOL XD

[DivineAll]

Clearly, this sketch is the inspiration for Animal's anger management persona in The Muppets. Classy.

[ruteparedes]

ME-DI-CA-TION! lol

[hegstad9]

Mr. Coburn was a personal student of Bruce Lee himself.

[disneyrini23]

@hegstad9 Really? That is so cool

[AmiSkyKitty]

d'awwwe! the inspiration for my life. now if only this worked on my teachers....

[MultiJorge12345678]

animal is the best!!!!

[TheSRalston]

James Coburn, always tough!! Seems he has been the only one who could dominate Animal...ironcally through non violence, LOL

[jadewarlock]

@TheSRalston He's only one of two I know of in the show who could control Animal - the other being Zoot the Saxaphone player.

[Ozzman6662]

@jadewarlock Don't forget Sgt Floyd Pepper, he could controll Animal with simple dog commands, Sit Heel Back etc etc

[33Ven]

LOL.... this is classic

[mistofoles]

James Coburn? I thought was David Carradine!!

[TheBatmanSmells]

MEDETASHUN!!! XD

[ravenhull]

Personally, I've always loved that last little bit between Coburn and Animal.

[YourFaceWillDie468]

684 people have confidence that a salute to Japan can result in serenity.

[TheCypher3]

14 people have ressentements against Japan.

[rgalang74]

0:16 WHAT LOL

[rgalang74]

[kezadrone]

One problem the only celeb worth having on it would be Lady Ga Ga. Suit it to a T. But it should be back on TV.

[TofuPuppets]

@kezadrone fuck LADY GAGA! they need to get michael jackson again

[kezadrone]

@TofuPuppets You could be right. but that's not going to come round again unfortunately

[TofuPuppets]

@kezadrone True. RIP MIKE

[longfoot]

James - We must get serene.

I loved this episode I have no idea, how James Coburn does not lose it and keep a straight face! I love it when Animal opens his eyes those are some serious headlights!

[paukenmeister]

It's good to know I'm not alone in thinking that Animal's eyes have a "headlight" quality to them.

[Subway0001]

[alexhoskins]

does anyone have a clip of James Coburn singing Alexander's Ragtime Band on the Muppet Show?

Id LOVE to see that again...

[paulsprettything]

Someone did have it posted a long time ago, but I searched for it recently & couldn't find it. I wonder if YouTube had an issue with it & deleted it. If so, more's the pity. I loved the part where James played the piccolo.

[alexhoskins]

Jesus!

I was there when they filmed this! Havent seen it in 30 years...

[phillygrl69]

That musta been decent!!

[Canuckfan78]

[peace2baby]

The memory of that line has left me laughing for years!

[Coldbevies]

Me too, in fact, when I'm getting annoyed or stressed, I think of Animals advice, chuckle and feel better.

[VandalousMedium]

Can you help me?

Thanks.....and relax....

[partname]

the animal is awesome

[kohakx]

I remember watching an interview with Bruce Lee, and Bruce said that James Coburn was probably his most peaceful student who understood the Philosophy of his teachings the best.

[Shtickman2008]

[Dnrothx]

Hm. Can't see Coburn without think about Chinatown...

[barnwani]

Um . . . why? Coburn wasn't in Chinatown.

[LadyGuiweny]

I Love this video...I think that is the best of the animal, hahahaha....ME DI TA TI ON.....great animal.

[pektor72]

James and Animal- The best couple in Muppets history.

[tanjuk65]

The best one ever 'med-a-ta-tion'

are you relaxed? Whaaaat?!

serene.....

animal is the best...

[cne08]

James: Kermit we want to do something serene.

Animal: SERENE!

Animal rocks!

[poelover37]

I love how James Coburn's face contrasts to Animal's wild cartoony face! The Muppets are hilarious, proving you don't have to use sex, obscenities, and body fluids to be funny.

[vastato2006]

"Animal, are you relaxed?"

"WHAA?!"

"Kermit, we want to do something serene."

"SAH-REEENE!!"

[boilerboy]

Kermit. We want to do something sarene.

SAREEENE!!!!

I really love how James grabs Kermit so well and then how Animal yells with Kermit in his mouth.

[orr6000]

"Are you relaxed?"

"WHAAAAAA?"

[cne08]

Muppet Show and Animal were awsome. I love this skit. My favorite par is when James asks Animal if he's relaxed and Animal says WHA? Thank You porschum.

[submerge28]

SAH REENNNN!!!...

Animal is hilarious

[cne08]

I love that part of the skit submerqe28. I also loved when James asks Animal if he's relaxed and Animal says WHA?

[orr6000]

"MEH-DIH-TAH-SHAN!" *LOL*

[cne08]

I love that part of the skit orr6000. I also love it when James asks Animal if he's relaxed and Animal says WHA?

[dvrnunz]

Does someone have the clip of the "salute to Japan" that was the final number for this show? It had a hysterically funny Japanese "square dance." Coburn had great comic timing and played off his "tough guy" image in the skit. If it is out there, please post it.

[RingtailStudios]

HILARIOUS!! :D But then again, any scene with Animal is hilarious.

[GRageonG]

"O__O ...  .__. ... O__O" ROFL

[iwoniwon]

Does anybody know the song james coburn had a duet with a child? It goes like..."if I stumble and fall will you be there when I call?" ...."I know I'm just at the beginning..." Sorry i couldn't remember the words, this song is very rare and I heard only during the early 80's. I'm not even sure if it's J. Coburn. Hopefully someone out there knows what I am talking about.

[sanjuz]

may be the greatest ever youtube clip - pure genius

[videobouy]

"med-a-ta-tion" lmao. gotta love animal.

[fifca]

The best one ever 'med-a-ta-tion'

are you relaxed? Whaaaat?! he he he he he he he he he he

[lally69]

Norman barrowman, thurso. you re like "pigs in space" but only more confused. they re pigs in space, youre tried to launch a galaxy with pigs into space

[amandaporsha]

I thought my mate Alastair was the greatest muppet ?

[Harlequin19]

Animal is the greatest Muppet ever!

[LaDracul]

Animal and zen meditation...two things that will never, ever go together.

[uwdan]

I don't think I ever saw that one back in the day...

[WoodRatGirl]

R.I.P. Jim Henson.

[billfenner1967]

Yeah, James Coburn's teeth are disgusting, you're right. ;-) Actually, good point about Animal's felt body. No punch could damage that. Although, because he's made of felt his kryptonite would be Velcro. One lash of that and Animal's screwed.

[Shadax2Glendaal]

What on earth are you talking about?! James Coburn's teeth aren't disgusting! Where did that bitterness come from?

[billfenner1967]

Jesus, I guess people can't read sarcasm. Read the post I was replying to and you might get the joke. I love Coburn.

[Shadax2Glendaal]

Sorry 'bout that mack. I'm the schmuck here.

But Corvin26 was talking about Animal's teeth being nasty so I thought you were making some 'bizarre' comparison.

No hard feelings?

Yeah, I love ol' Coburn too. What a personality!

May he rest in peace.

[billfenner1967]

Who'd win in a fight between James Coburn and Animal? Even though Coburn trained under Bruce Lee, I think Animal fights dirty, and kicks to the balls go a long way.

[ReevaInari]

James and Animal know how to get what they want without resorting to violence, but it was hinted there on James's part the way he grabbed Kermit.

They have the same laugh. "Ha ha ha."

[swans1997]

Ha ha that was a definite cheer-up for what has been a bummer weekend. Thanks for the laughs.

[genbairen]

Nice clip. :)
