@agassizbeekeeper that'd be priceless - one thing I've done since I was a kid was the 'Do you have a MAGPIE in your home?' speech from that classic WB cartoon with the farmer and the magpies
The original muppet show was the tip of the top , ok there's mild innuendo but nothing offensive, not like Muppets Wizard of Oz or It's a Wonderful Muppet Christmas. Disney got it so far off the mark on that one. Lets hope Judd Apatow can get the muppets back on track, The characters are adults after all.
Actually, "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie" was done in 2002, two years prior to Disney's acquisition of the Muppets. But yeah, both those specials went WAY too overboard with the innuendo enough to make Jim Henson roll in his grave! *sigh* At least we have the recent Youtube videos, those are a step in the right direction.
Looking back, I'm surprised that they allowed this on a show with such a devoted following among children. At the time, I laughed so hard I almost lost control of my bodily functions.

I know it's Frank Oz doing the voice, but Sam sounds just like Yoda here.

@Dragblacker Not the biggest shock, Oz did Yoda too.

@israelbeta I know. It's just that here he sounds almost exactly the same as Yoda, whereas other times Oz will vary his voice for each character.

My daughter used to do this verbatim when she was about 3. Right down to the voice inflections. It was hilarious!
