Muppets Tonight - Refined young cannonballs & Sam The Eagle

[Chaos97X]

Clifford: Now, before you think we have TOO much class...

Me: Oh, trust me. That could never happen...

[TheHartzler]

this made me laugh so hard... every time when Gonzo fires the cannons, all the refined young cannon balls hit the other muppets repeatedly..... now that is what I call a slapstick comedy! (LAUGH)

[NaiTaiDai]

Gonzo: "Don't worry, I didn't feel a thing because the little people floating around in my head...they protected me." *passes out*

[Actionfan19]

thumbs up if u think gonzos little number was the best scene ever

[Alchymyst02]

1812 Overture finale...classic. And the humor, hilarious as usual !

[Angie2343]

Jim Henson would have wanted the Muppet Show.

[SlicerJen]

What's funny is this stuff is so relevant today as the day it was made. They should replay the muppet show and old looney tunes, if only those in charge of the stations would grow a pair and not be intimidated by the outcry of political correctness.

[TheNinjaMouse]

"Say, now that we've played that violent video game, I feel like hurting you!"

"I feel like hurting you too...violently!"

So this is what those video game critics are worried about!

[TheEmikodo]

Paula Abdul knew it was coming.

Smart woman

[NaiTaiDai]

This somehow seems more like an act worthy of Crazy Harry, doesn't it?

[TheEmikodo]

lol

That was funny when they got hit by cannonballs. And when Clifford's pretending to be more injured, that woman knew it was coming.

[poelover37]

Gonzo is enjoying those cannonballs a little TOO much!! This is classic zany Muppets humor. And the bad pun, Refined Young Cannonballs is the iceing on the cake!

[PrincessSys24]

Tchaikovskys 1812 Overture, was ment to have cannons go off as it was played!

And this makes it PERFECT!!!XD

[apokryltaros]

It's a direct hit, even.

[bignosedbastard]

Muppets getting hit with cannonballs = funniest thing ever. Awesome.

[apokryltaros]

Even funnier than pounding them with 2x4's?

[SlashTHedgehog]

YES.

[demonwolfie]

Sam the Eagle sounds a lot like Yoda from Star Wars. Is the puppeteer Frank Oz?

[wooohooo771]

Yes

[eks1966]

That's very cool but a little sad with the World Trade Towers in the background...

[fundude365]

It was made in 1996

[blueledtool]

La canción es la obertura 1812,compuesta por

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Me encanta.

The song is the 1812 Overture, composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

I just love it.

[mcflymorg]

whats thats song??

[nilbog]

Can you get muppets tonight on dvd? Cause this is hilarious.

[MptLvr]

HA! A new fave of mine. Thanks so much :D

[ReevaInari]

How come Sam continues working with Randy and Andy?

Ha! Waldorf got payback for all the times he hit Statler like that!

[verkaforever]

Paula Abdul was so mean to Clifford! I'm so glad he got to kiss her in the end!

[verkaforever]

Thanks, arrozmalandrinho, it was great to see Sam Eagle's editorial about the lack of heroes. I saw an edited version of this episode of Muppets Tonight, and it didn't have that part- I love it, Andy and Randy Pig are always HILARIOUS! Would you be able to upload the episode of "Swift Wits" that is just starting at the end of this clip- that was one of my favourite Muppets Tonight segments.

[arrozmalandrinho]

Hi! Just posted it as a video response. Should be up any minute!

[verkaforever]

Thanks, I just watched it, it's great! What does Snookie Blyer say when the time runs out? I didn't quite catch it. Hilarious, though.

[Cybertoy00]

Ahhh, only a loon like Gonzo could actual have the lack of sanity to think up an act like this.

Hold the phone! One of the guys who got hit was...Scooter's Uncle!!!!
