The Muppet Show - John Cleese (Part 1)

[kitkatcutie520]

8:10 for some reason reminds me of the scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where he storms the castle.

[kitkatcutie520]

"Of course I'm a pirate, I've got a hat, a parrot and a hook!"

To those who say otherwise, your argument is invalid.

[Ateamgrl]

Ugly, disgusting, one who catches cannonballs, gonzo walks by, LOLZ!!

[airmario3]

the beginning part of the episode reminded me about the latest "muppets" movie in 2011, where Jack Black gets tied up and was forced to host the telethon. that part was pretty funny.

[necramoniumdotc0m]

i really hope the muppet show will return if the movie will become a hit.

[SuperAngelstewart]

it sucks that i wasent born when the muppet show was on tv:(

[jadencampbell3]

I love that throaty nasal Jim Henson sound to all the characters <3

RIP.

[Missbeansontoast]

"To appease the intellectuals in the audience" LOL!

[1985piratron]

that was good comedy for all ages i miss that times :( but its a movie soon :D :D :D

[ThatNickGuy28]

Man, this really brings me back.

Too bad it didn't bring me back far enough to forget it.

DOH-ho ho ho ho!

[ghostcat713]

Wow, with an applause like that, the Muppets must be huge Monty Python fans!

[VaativonRagnas]

Oddly enough.. i think thats how a lot of cameo appearances were arranged.. just tie em up and throw em into a closet somewhere... seems like a decent method to get people on your show

[ztslovebird]

DAMN, all the main star Muppets went through some MAJOR makeovers over the years!

[troubledAlan]

crap poor agent

[francespdx]

I LOVE CRAZY HARRY!!!!!!!

[WillRennar]

6:03 - Problem solved!

[wiesje666]

I want the parrott!

[paxtofettel]

And now for something completely different.

[WolfmanNougat]

You know, I could go for some Cleese Curry right about now.

[RetsofNoraa]

So the reason why so many pigs died in episode one of Monty Python is because Cleese is a pig bigot? Or a pig-ot, if you will?

[WolfmanNougat]

@RetsofNoraa Or maybe his expressed pigotry in this episode is a callback to the Pythong gag...

[Wheel2teamher]

has anyone noticed that all muppet guitarists are left handed? I wonder why that is- i bet it has something to do with the puppeteering

[Antineos2110]

@Wheel2teamher jim henson and frank oz where both left-handed

[DanSolo0119]

Link's acrophobic yet he's lightyears from the ground? makes no sense.

[p06e3]

The is a muppet show here on Brooke Shields? She SUCKS! because she promotes brain rotting pills called anti depressants that are a quick fix that do not last long to problems and only intensifies them.

[Studmeister17]

@p06e3 What?

[cheshirepat30]

@p06e3 Is this Tom Cruises secret account?

[Ghlan]

Johns face at 9:57 = Lulz

[hlapidu2]

That parrot seems to be getting on John Cleese's last nerve. I wonder how long it will take for it to become an ex-parrot? lol

[random0mushroom]

Wow that was AWESOME!!! I LOVE JOHN!!!

[NaiTaiDai]

One of Gonzo's acts actually worked!

[greghmn]

the person who disliked this should die.

[zangazoo2007]

WOW! Gonzo finally got his trumpet note working. I love this show. Why don't shows like this exist anymore? Because the networks only care about reality TV, and really cheesy shows today.

[webkinzrocks300]

i don't watch the muppet because of the starz, i watch it because... I LOVE THE MUPPETS!!!!!!

[metorido]

Him and the parrot are hilarious..

[djfan7310]

TVLand needs to air these! Back when funny was funny

[cyberdragonessmaster]

@djfan7310 they wanted to last i checked but Disney's being jerks about it

[ZwiekszoneRyzyko]

Did Gonzo actually got that tune right?

[KittyAlvin7902]

could someone please upload the episode where they celebrate Kermit's birthday? I think Dinah Shore was the guest star

[Kentaro21]

Wow. Gonzo played the trumper and it didn't blow up or something

[pivotuser08]

long live john cleese

[metalcandycanechild]

Which season is this from?

[Webkinzrocks400]

The reason i said fur suuuuurrreee is because janice says that all the time!!!

[veggietalesfan65]

Who's John Cleese? From Monty Python? Ive never seen that movie

[bluenwhitehoops]

John Cleese is from the Monty Python team.

You've never seen "The Life of Brian"????

[veggietalesfan65]

Nope I haven't :(

[Webkinzrocks400]

Fur surrrrreee!!!

[authorgirl87]

look up the dead parrot sketch

[LoveThatPhantom]

John is also in Harry Potter as Nearly Headless Nick. He was also in Shrek 2, he played the King. He was also in James Bond as Q.

And yes he was in Monty Python.

[veggietalesfan65]

Oh really? thats awesome man he must be famous :) ive been trying to find out that voice for a while now thanks a lot!!!!! :)

[LoveThatPhantom]

Your welcome. Love your name! Who doesn't love Veggie Tales right? Bob is my favorite.

[veggietalesfan65]

Thanks! Mines Archie :)

[LoveThatPhantom]

I like Archie too.

[realar]

@veggietalesfan65 He was also the villain in Fievel Goes West, fantastic film and fantastic role as well.

[phsyxx]

@LoveThatPhantom And R! don't forgot when Quentin Llwellyn was still in The world is not enough, Cleese played R!

[peteyball420]

I would love to know how much weed they smoked back then to make up this stuff!

[wvsoccermom34]

I had a miss piggy doll when i was seven. I love the muppets!

[SupperSimMovieMaker]

montypython AWSOME

[SupperSimMovieMaker]

I LOVE PIGGY

[NaiTaiDai]

Gonzo's look of surprise at getting the final note right would have been more fitting if this had been the final episode of the season, right?

[Terragen]

This is awesome O.o that monster was sooo cool I want one!

[boffgirl]

back when the mupppets were on tv it was considered the greatest job

and for celebs ,it was like ..u have to be on the muppets...

kinda like how many celebs are portrayed on the simpsons

[Booger414]

@boffgirl Kind of like sticking your head out the window as Batman and Robin were climbing up the wall.

[boffgirl]

@Booger414

what?

[AngelusDlion]

@boffgirl big difference though, the Muppet show as consistently funny.

Also amusing Muppet is in the spell checker for my comptuer.. :)

[cecillbill]

[goodluckpeace44]

[fivebearrugs]

LOL, Mean Mama ate John Cleese's agent...

[NaiTaiDai]

You can't be a pirate!

[melissasentose]

oh thank you so much!!! Ah, they should bring this back, can think of many wonderful guests...

[Jany1954]

Depp would be fantastic on this show!!! Yep!!

[F03NovaSpark]

This show started before i was born.

I love it !!!

[ik3333]

please do not stop uploading the muppet show, i am so in love with this proggarm since the mid 80's, i started watching it when they broadcast it in Russia for the first time, i think it was 1985

[raynelycan]

So many bad puns.

[96dude366]

Poor John Cleese's agent

[ThatNickGuy28]

@96dude366

He certainly got a mouthful.

DOH-ho ho ho ho!

[Blondiegreeneyes72]

if this show was on tv today they should put Johnny Depp on Muppet Show :D

[LovelyDragons]

You're so right ^^

[Blondiegreeneyes72]

i forget how violent this show was! i was only a little kid when i watched this show. :D

[LaDracul]

Cleese=a god.

Not THE God, A god.

[gradgurl2007]

Of course I'm a pirate!

[smalltalkNchips]

[gradgurl2007]

Classic.
