[matthewweikert20]

Mom: They got up. We missed them.

Mathew: We didn't miss 'em. We were shooting BLANKS!

Mom: We were?

Matthew: Of course!

(army tank shoots bullets on the roof)

Matthew: Well, some of them were blanks.

[robertocruz1955]

I saw that video 32 years ago, and I still like it

[Kanjilearner]

"Don't ever ask the general what's it for

'Coz he'd be outta woik without a war."

Damn true.

[HazyChase20]

This should of been the theme song to "Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai."

[chocotareryu]

Friends~~~ :)

[DaveJ721]

"We didn't miss. We were shooting BLANKS!"

"We were?"

"Of course!"

RAT-A-TAT-A-TAT-A-TAT-A-TAT-A-­TAT

"Well, SOME of them were blanks......"

[rabbitsib]

reminds me of there live shows when they destroy the whole theater

[ShivaVixen]

let's see . . . france, I think the guys in blue are the north from the american civil war, guys in that olive drab are americans from ww 1, then cowboys and Indians, either Germans or british are the guys in red with the spikes on top their helmets, russians have the furry hats, Romans in the bronze helmets and togas, the random guys with the round hats with feathers are the spanish . . . then Statler and Waldorf I think have german helmets and Crazy Harry is just on his own side . . .

[paulpellicci]

we could if it weren't for the money....honey

[LOZmaster85RB]

british: why can't we beat france? why can't we beat france?

[ThePink0Bunny]

We can't be friends because I don't feel like being your friend ok stop asking!

[webster105]

xD

[ShadowChanceSassy]

Since this episode was was Episode 1 of Season 4, I'm waiting so patiently for Season 4 of The Muppet Show to be released onto DVD. Same with Season 5. I already have the first three seasons of The Muppet Show on DVD, and I am waiting with the rest of Muppet fans for seasons 4 and 5 to finally be released onto DVD. What is taking them so long for the final two seasons to be released onto DVD?

Who is the blond-haired hippie with the cowboy hat?

[disneynut06]

@JGCooney His name is Zeke. He's the banjo player in the show's country jugband, Lubbock Lou & his Jughuggers.

[Oaxan]

I loved this XD I still have the VHS somewhere in my house

[cobaltgnome23]

[rebelyell1983x]

[bfl33]

@rebelyell1983x appsulootly nothing

[arkaflor]

lol only one vote for not funny.

who is this fool ??

[Invader57]

[NaiTaiDai]

Why can't we be friends? OR ELSE!

[ToaOnichu]

I do remember a friend of mine talking about this the better part of a decade ago...

[rchinatti]

Timeless Muppets. Could Taliban and Al Qaeda do this, too?

[TheLordmep]

Wouldn't it be grand if this actually happened on a battle field somewhere?

[andrewsparkes]

@TheLordmep

It did happen. Back in World War I, on New Years Eve (from what I remember), the English and the Germans put down their guns, got out of the trenches and played a game of football.

Just because countries are at war doesn't mean individual soldiers hate each other.

[rebelyell1983x]

@andrewsparkes it was Christmas 1914

[thatswhatshesaid15]

niiice i remember this!!

[juker606]

being a life long war fan and never seeing this? too funny.

[Odawg96]

I'm a GUNG-HO "War" fan, and I don't remember this skit! Wow!

[mirrimarable]

I love this one- I do ask- why can't we be friends very often in life!!!

[cha5]

Timeless

[mbabist01]

The ones in the bicornes are supposed to be from Napoleon's army. Good reproductions.

[Shenorai]

[3triplexxx]

[fathairyarab]

[LeopardFrogPilboxhat]

This video makes me so happy I just can't express it in 500 words.

Thank you

[Ponchodelamancha]

Man, I've never seen the muppets be so overtly political. Fuckin' fantastic.

[trampolinebouncing]

This song was a natural choice for the late great Jim Henson given his hippie sentiments.

[blackjkb]

Seriously thoe TO the world WHy cant we be freinds!!!

[jamesphilip911]

because, at everyones very core, is a type of belife that "im right, youre wrong" and thatescalates to a fight because of human emotions, and your keyboreds broken

[1985Nebraska]

I had this episode with John Denver, along with episodes of The Muppet Show with Rita Moreno, Liza Minnelli, Jonathan Winters, Linda Carter, Lena Horne, Mark Hamill, and Tony Randall all on video tape once.

This video sure does have a good question on behalf of people fighting wars of any kind these days. Why CAN'T we be friends?

[Shenorai]

Because we can't agree to disagree.

[LachoDroogie]

i used to have muppet VHS' when i was a kid, fucken love it!

[steamboy51]

STALER AND WALDORF WITH A MAXIM GUN. Now that is what I call pure greatness. I miss the Muppet Show.
