Umm...did the Muppet Show ever get this out of hand with...taking the Muppet apart? Cuz what we see here is definitely more up th Muppet Show's alley lol...it was a minority on SS :)
This STILL gives me a turning sensation in my tummy! Even listening to Bert's version as a child gave me the same feling cuz I could sense this was exactly was Bert was doing too! Geesh! *shivers*
i wanna hold your nose,,,,, i wanna hold your tooth,, blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank blank i love you,,,,, what does he say on the "blanks"?
One reason SS got away with this was that in the early days the Muppets were refered to as the "Anything People", who could change eyes, noses, hair, etc desired. There's a few segments, such as with the 1st Gordon in "Consider Yourself" as he puts on the Muppets' faces, or the "Family" song where they keep changing outfits and hair, that emphasize that. The surreal nature of ripping apart the lady's face made sense in that context; she'll just go get new features..
By today's standards this can be on the strange or scary side, but in the day when this was created there wasn't issues going on in the world like today. Then was an innocent time. We believed Col Austin could actually run 60 mph and wonder woman and Diana Prince were 2 different people no matter how much they looked alike.
I remember this being very creepy & bizarre! Sesame Street would never be able to pull this off today! Obviously before "No meant no". This is about as disturbing as the Ernie & Bert skit from the early days when Ernie & Bert were siitting in their apartment (the original layout). Something happened to led to Bert being kidnapped by monsters. When he eventually came back, Ernie asked him what happened & to his shock & horror, Bert shouted (in a monster voice) "COOKIE!"...THAT was bizarre!
I remember seeing this sketch when I was four, and I had always thought that was the Count. Only when I saw this about a year ago did I realize that it's someone different.
This is some funny s**t. Comedy genius! I remember laughing my head off at this when I was about eight years old. And I'm laughing my head off now at age 44. Check out that muppet chick's facial expression with the one tooth when she delivers deadpan "Maurice...I don't...love...you." I'm gonna pee...

*twitch* *twitch*HOW THE HELL IS THIS ON SESAME STREET!!!!!!!!!!BASICALLY HES SAYING HE'LL MURDER HER JUST SO SHE WOULD SAY SHE LOVED HIM!OH MY GOD KIDS SHOULD NOT BE WATCHING THIS SHOW!
This was shortened! Originally, after he said "gasp", that thing kept chuckling for a bit, then she turned to Maurice and sweetly said "Give me a kiss", then SHE kissed HIM, and then he freaked out and took off, and she laughed again. I saw that unedited version only once. I'm not kidding here. Anyone else remember that?
Wow man, I've been looking for this for the longest time. I couldn't have been more than 3 when I 1st seen it & it scared the hell out of me. It scared me so much that I actually called her "The Lady With No Face" & she haunted my dreams when I was younger. I've watched SS religiously as a kid & never saw this sketch after that. I did get over my fear a couple decades ago, but watching it again I can see why my 3 year old self was freaked out!
that's the problem today parents are sensative about the wrong things to the point that skits were banded on SS I grew up on all the vintage SS, made be a better person. Back then we didn't have American Idol role models or gangstars getting their tv show for their affiliation. societies ideals are a disgrace today.
I'd imagine it's because they're good puppeteers and voice actors. I know that I, as a kid, never once questioned where Miss Piggy's voice came from or suspected it was from a man.
I'm pretty sure that Frank Oz and Jim Henson were fairly close friends, and I'd imagine that they probably had a good concept of the voices each other could do. Jim probably figured out that Frank could make a good Piggy. I'm not sure if that's how it went down or not, but it seems at least somewhat reasonable.
XD! This is so creepy but hysterical at the same time! It's reminds me of the "Big Round Nose" song due to the creepy guy ripping off people's body parts!
Gotta love how the girl can walk off without her bodyparts when she should no longer be able to hear or see him!
This one is just plain strange! I suppose some fussy types might make something of it, certainly it's weird how the guy can stick on and yank off all the girl's features. The really wild part is how the girl herself still doesn't love the guy--but all her parts do!
I wanna hold your nose~
I wanna hold your tooth~
I won't let you breath or even eat till you know the truth... I love you -U
