Muppet Show S2 E1 P1 - Don Knotts

[oOGambitOo]

cause.. "cue Ginger Bred Man Song"

[MollyKoenigStarGleek]

That green Muppet with the Madness in his mind? Yeah, I hear ya buddy.

[keleic]

its so ironic. i randomly found this episode in time for the holidays and low and behold the first number has gingerbread men! what are the odds of that? lol

[MysteryNebula01]

I'm like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel.

I'm never ending nor beginning, on an ever-spinning reel.

Just like a snowball down a mountain or a carnival balloon,

Or like a carousel that's turning, running rings around the moon.

[LosInvasoreSconLalo]

A W E S O M E !!

Thanks for posting,.

[MollyKoenigStarGleek]

Uh-Huh!

Man I love it. This is what I want to do with my life.

[munozkd]

god, i grew up with this, i really want to see the new movie, i hope its good

[SilverKatt97]

Hehe, I live how Kermit was next to Fozzie and then Fozzie said, "Moving right along." :D

(For those if you who don't get it, it's a reference to the first movie [at least it is to me])

[SilverKatt97]

@Jessyleppert

Yeah! :D

He was great(:

[98Rhiannon]

My favorite part was the green and pink muppet sometimes that's how I feel

[luffy510]

The gingerbread man number is the creepiest Muppet number I have ever seen.

[NYG4LIFE123]

That alien Muppet was the precursor for Tweak, wasn't he?

[laughlife210]

That alien thing should try decaf.

[NaiTaiDai]

Dancing gingerbread men. That's such a silly idea only Jim could come up with it. Right?

[Jessyleppert]

It's Barney Fife

[renoskunk]

Why are there so many muppets, the paphlet said there would only be a few muppets?!

[katlindakat]

Thank you so much for uploading this!!!!

[VFXgeneralist]

4:30 YOU'RE WELCOME

[Abiboo21]

1:44 to 3:57 reminds me of the telitubbies!!!!

[2hotim]

this is the first episode of the muppet show I ever watched, i was like 5 when I saw this. XD

[battybuddy]

Gonzo's trumpet-playing was HOT!

[dharmaseed]

@battybuddy That joke fits this board perfectly. He was on fire!

[KevlarNinja]

OK, those gingerbread men are the wierdest muppets I have ever seen.

[cavalierfan1995]

INNER SPACE SONG SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING FRANK ZAPPA WOULD WRITE

[Jessyleppert]

@cavalierfan1995 I don't think they could have gotten Frank Zappa on here.

[betterthanacid]

oh man, i want to know the words to that inner space song "on the outside, i'm very calm" that's too funny

[trailmixgang]

Okay Floyd was funny. But to be honest I could never understand what in the world he was saying....oh wait do you mean Floyd the puppet or Floyd the Barber. Either way I still can't understand a word there saying.

[NaiTaiDai]

I kind of preferred Floyd before he had that blinking feature. Kind of doesn't make sense to me. Anyone agree?

[trailmixgang]

Gosh I miss Don Knotts...he was a comedy genius. It's so sad he died. Oh well he still lives in the hearts of millions for all who continues to get enjoyment from his show for all of eternity. Anyone agree with me?

[MyMoppet52]

@trailmixgang Yes. It takes great talent to be 'second banana' and still keep it fresh and funny. He started out as the straight guy to Andy Griffith's not so bright sheriff. It was funnier the other way. He never got an emmy! Never. I think that there were numerous episodes of several of his shows which should have snagged him an emmy. I love the one where he is singing and the man with the wonderful voice comes on and he thinks it is him. He was perfect with Tim Conway. Love your comment.

[CCMrJones]

i dont think this is the first episode of the 2nd season...

[BayareaGuy06]

RIP Don Knotts 1924-2006 Barney Fife 

[AleeraGorvan]

Has the Fozzie puppet been replaced?! Somehow he looks more gaunt and pale now... Oo

"Why isn't the bear running to see a doctor?!"

[LuxVertas]

@AleeraGorvan Nearly all of the muppet puppets (try saying that with a mouthful of bread) have been replaced/updated many times, Kermit has been updated about 9 times I think...

[SuperStinsley]

what is the name of the song where the muppet sings how he looks relaxed, but is actually nuts

[Wheel2teamher]

That was pretty cool to intergrate costumed people in the background.. but i guess they already do that in every opening sequence, duh

[rhinomantis88]

the gingerbread men would only be creepy if they didn't speak english

[Hellbane224]

@daleastar Only because people don't let them. Take a look at Japan for example. Overpopulated, and a higher percentage of crime compared to the US. Yet, children, and teens are allowed to travel on their own...taking the subway, or walking great distances with no adult supervision, and the children and teens rarely encounter any real trouble. Hell, they can legally live on their own at 16. So, what does that tell you about the media, and the fears they play off of here in America?

[nirvanaspirit666]

family guy did a thing on don knotts and ostriches it was funny

"why are there so many ostriches??!!"

[AdventurousMoh]

That green and pink alien is just like me! XD

[SuperDooperVideoBoy]

@AdventurousMoh Yeah, I always loved ST (Screaming thing). He reminds me of the fraggles of Fraggle Rock. :)

[rexsteel]

3:57 LOL

[MWolfL]

I was really upset when Don Knotts died, I always wanted to meet him. :'(

[MegaCriswell]

the gingerbread man song scares me lmao

[shadowfox1383]

@MegaCriswell Exactly, seeing these giant gingerbread men performing will give you loads of nightmares!

[lawoma]

Windmills of your mind is Fantasticly Preformed

[evildaveprime]

The Muppet Show is a hell of a lot funnier watching it as an adult then when I watched it as a kid.

[TheMysticalBard]

If Waldorf and Statler ever croaked, im going to the funeral, idc if they are muppets.

[jaisSBSB]

i like gingerbread song,very catchy,,

[ranka35]

lol i love this show! does anyone know if season 4 is out yet?

[mechasaurus]

slightly nervous??

[RandomPoolGuy84]

I just noticed how much Fozzy Bear sounds like Bert from Sesame Street.

[HazMattProductions]

frank oz did both.

Jim Henson did ernie

[Kalkas53]

unfortunatly the classics and when there is something good it gets taken off the air (megasXLR) because it has "extreme violence" or "send a bad message to the young viewers" "there's a family guy quote about parents taking responsibility for what their kids watch instead of blaiming the show itself"

[billythekid071]

R.I.P. Jim Henson!

[mechasaurus]

Yo, billythekid071; not all the classics are gone! Disney is still around, ain't it!?

[tehreporter]

have you seen the crap disney has been pushing latley

[lotten1992]

@tehreporter i sure have. Saddly, my lil'-sister makes me watch them. I swear to God, it feels like my brain turns into porridge that's a billion years old.

[aiex72aiex72]

@tehreporter I try not to.

[eblackadder3]

"The Windmills Of Your Mind" is one of the funniest things they ever did on this show.

[HSRunnerFan09]

After watching the first seasons episodes, it was weird to see a less fuzzy Fozzie.

[BoomhaurReplica7]

lol.i miss Don Knotts...R.I.P

[mabgamer6407]

Its something thats mocking sonic the hedgehog!

[KidanYoshilda]

How could something mock something that hasn't even been invented yet? This was in the early to late 70's and early 80's.

[mabgamer6407]

I know but it looks like it! Is it sonic s great Ancestor is a muppet!? Lol.

[billythekid071]

You've just show that you are a youngster. The show aired from 1976-1980. LONG BEFORE Sonic was ever dreamed of!

[mabgamer6407]

@billythekid071 Um it was a joke i was just having fun with it i know that. And no am not a Youngster am nearly 20. Sorry bouit that but it just started as a joke did you not see the LOL?

[TherealRNO]

@billythekid071: Exactly. Captain N was still the SEGA mascot well into the late 80's, prior to Sonic's 1990 debut.

[Gravidtron]

@TherealRNO I'm guessing you mean Alex Kidd. The "N" in Captain N stands for Nintendo!

[mylovelydame21]

This is the intro I'm used to! YAYYYY!!!! I wish this show was still on the air!

[billythekid071]

YES! Wasn't this show AMAZING! And to think; it aired in PRIME TIME! My, how times have changed! Nowadays, T.V. is full of sex, violence, and drama. I long for these simpler times!

[mylovelydame21]

Ah yes.... I miss my youth. Now there's so much crap on tv, you have to have DVR or something to fastforward all the useless shit. Otherwise, it ruins the whole experience of paying buttloads of money just to have cable!

[Webkinzrocks400]

IT'S THE MUPPET SHOW!!

[NaiTaiDai]

The screaming creature has been called a whatnot and a monster, but I think he's more of an abstract creature.

[vivvav]

That's one hot showgirl.

[gregoir]

Floyd's awesome!

[paddyroche2]

GINGER BREAD OM NOM NOM NOM

[drsdino]

That sketch made me hungry.

[paddyroche2]

haha

[Webkinzrocks400]

U got any ginger bread cookies!!!!

[metorido]

Man .. nothing beats the muppet show!

[OfficeDonut]

You got that right, duuuuude! XD

[graciemelinda]

My 4 yr old granddaughter likes it ! :)

[perualonso]

5:59 - Run away!

[pikkdogs]

the ginger bread guys look like they are in black face, they are scary.

[madammelva]

MMMMMM. GINGERBREAD!

[XF540]

That green and pink wheel leg creature is addicting and drives me crazy! I like it so much I had this episode once on tape and I watched that one segment so much as a kid my parents went nuts and I snapped the tape in the VCR!!!

[LadyEdgar]

the gingerbread song made me laugh my face off.

[metalhead11666]

ginger bread part is done at 3:58

[LFirstbasema]

In Memory of Don Knotts 1924-2006

[cristalle1]

This brings back many memories watching TV with my family as a child. Thnx for posting.

[Banaerz]

Does that opening number look like it's staged in Oz?

[LovesLivi]

I know whats wrong with this theatre... the seats face the stage!!

I have never seen The Muppets in syndication- so glad that Youtube exists!

Thanks for the post, and RIP Jim Henson.

[mr80s12]

i love these puppets they rock thanks for posting it

[Blondiegreeneyes72]

that's the first time i ever heard Fozzie growl

[Blondiegreeneyes72]

that fraggle thing is psychotic lol

[TherealRNO]

Blondie: That's a frackle actually. Fraggles are specifically tied to Fraggle Rock.

[Blondiegreeneyes72]

lol at 4:47

[mrMmaniac]

Statler said "Did you see the opening number?" and then he talks about the 2nd number, the first number was the Gingerbread skit. I wonder if the Gingerbread Skit was supposed to be later in the episode.

[TherealRNO]

mrMmanic: Perhaps they were asleep during the skit?

[drummerkid71]

I loved Don Knotts in the movie "the ghost and mr. chicken". He was quite a funny guy.

[thatbrat24]

LOL! love ginger bread man!

[brightbite]

The Muppet Show had some of the best character dancing.

[moviebuff006]

I'm very,very,calm.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HH!!!!!!!!!!!!! (crash)

[mikawhofan]

this show is pure genius and I miss watching it on a regular basis.

[ccd9415]

Thanks for posting. THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS IVE EVER SEEN ROFLMAO

[cne08]

R.I.P. Don Knotts.

[jackskellingtonsora]

Don Knotts will be missed. He was one of the funniest people I've ever seen.

[trublgrl]

Zhank you zo much for posting, Docta Strangepork!

[KatieVanHelsing]

I LOVE "WINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND!" SOOOO MUCH LOVE! :D :hug:

[Montork]

why isn't the bear getting a hug?

[ReevaInari]

Fozzie actually growls at Kermit.

[DELIVEREE]

First I thought Disney was a bad holder of the Muppets. But later, when I was surprised that the Season 2 DVD was a COMPLETE season set, I thought MAYBE Disney isn't so bad with the Muppets after all. Guess Disney really isn't that bad after all.

[LaDracul]

I hope there's no cuts on the next one...

[officialbsb]

1 thing bad, they are tough with pirates.

[Steven2642003]

who appear in background at 6:35?

[LaDracul]

Two random pigs and the Three Legged Screaming Thing.

[UpTheIron2007]

that window thing was CLASS!

[TedViti]

The Song is called " The Windmills of My Mind"

[bethhigdon]

thank you.

[bethhigdon]

I love the song that the little green dude sings! dose anybody know what it is? and can i get anywhere?

[florapikachu]

Does that green muppet (after the gingerbread men number) look like one of the Fraggles from Fraggle Rock?

[wookie72]

Yeah, definitely a precursor to the Fraggles... I remember this number, so weird.

[Losaru]

Great...now Gingerbread men are up with my fears of ventriliquist dummies...lol

[DrJuliusStrangepork]

the whole episode is there for you to watch, dumbass.

[Gravidtron]

That's a nice singing voice Frank Oz is using for the lead gingerbread man... I wonder why he didn't use that more frequently?

[Quidam]

I love that screaming Muppet.

[raposofan]

I miss the Seventies. :(

[DrJuliusStrangepork]

I was born in '76. I don't remember the 70's. I do miss the 80's, except for the music...

[raposofan]

I was born in 1968 and remember the 70's completely. I was a teen in the 80's, and it was "ok"... but the 70's: just imagine the feel of The Muppet Show in every song, every show, every movie... and everybody cool and getting along. That was the Seventies. You guys missed one hell of an era. You're lucky because you don't realize how far things have come and how drastically for the negative they changed.

[DrJuliusStrangepork]

Everyone probably remembers their pre-adolescent years with some nostalgia. I remember a time before atari. I've also seen the world change drasticaly from what I knew as a child. But then I grew up in a small town in Wyoming. We never locked ANY doors, and my mom never worried about me getting kidnapped and raped. All I had to do was be home in time for dinner.

[raposofan]

:) yes

[Hellbane224]

@DrJuliusStrangepork The most interesting thing is...the only reason people worry about kidnappings and such so much is media sensationalism. They over-dramatize kidnappings as if every child in America gets abducted at least 5 times a week. But the truth is, America is safer now than it was in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Fewer kids get abducted now, than they did when my mom and dad walked 20 miles by themselves as kids. But the media wants us to think otherwise.

[brendaleake]

Right on! My favorite TV show is that seventies show 'cause I like to remember also my favorite era!

[MWolfL]

@raposofan

I was born in 1990 myself. The 90s were nice, good shows (on KidsWB, Cartoon Network, Disney, Nickelodeon, and PBS), I lived in a house during most of the 90s (hate apartments), my dad worked on Space Jam, and there were those trips my parents and I used to take (mostly to Montreal, and once to Great Britain). However the decade I really want to live through is the 1950s, that's my favorite one. I also like the rest of the 20s-70s, especially the movies, cartoons, and TV shows.

[stephanietannerluver]

LOL!

[dorourke105]

Why isn't the bear quitting while he's ahead?

[Capng123]

I feel like that second act most days...
