The Muppet Show - Kermit Fires Piggy

[JakeeHall]

Dang Miss. Piggy looked real scary back in 'th day. 

[VadiseDeHanyou]

tee hee. . . . .miss piggy is so cute

[kasumi421]

The laughing still goes on...this is serious folks! This was kind of scary, watching Kermit getting seriously angry. Scary.

[ImaximX]

Noooo!!! Not Miss Piggy! Okay, I admit, I laughed when he went on a rampaige. But poor Miss Piggy! D:

[phousefilms]

I've taken Kermits quote when I get annoyed with someone being dumb(like saying Michael Jackson was innocent),I yell "THATS A BALD FACED LIE!I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!"

[kasumi421]

@phousefilms Leave Michael Jackson out of this.

[1marco7kamp]

kermit: piggy you are fired! you are fired! piggy you are fired! fired! LOL!!!!!! XD!

[irman925]

Kermit lost his shit

[Katie2hip7]

Lol

[48RAPIDFIRE]

Why cant disney channel have the good old muppets instead of like good luck charlie?

[worldends08]

Damn, I was expecting him to curse like, "I will not stand around while you do dumb &*@# like that, Piggy!"

[VanessaMorgan1Fan]

Is ufovin a guy or a girl....and how old is he! He thinks ms piggy is hot! Look a few comments below

[pinkflower7783]

You all leave the muppets alone this was good tv back then!!! Nothing like the crap that's on tv now. Fucking Hannah Montana and The suite life.

[sounds73]

OMG, my boss on youtube! :D

[MrGojira95]

And that's why she left to Paris, France in 2011

[ufovin]

PIGGY IS KINDA HOT

[MrCarl220]

Tongue magazine? LOL! Love it!

[Menckenperson]

Piggy is a fucking bitch, she is a class A narrasist.

[scruffyk123]

I love....PIGGY!!!

[tohottie24]

damn, look at the old classic disney logo, that's cool.

[LilniyaRunsTheWorld]

:O I never knew The Muppets use to be on Disney Channel! :D

[austinthebookworm5]

lol IGN was right

[agentwisconson]

I love Piggy, and her being herself is what makes her really awesome, but every now and then, she needs to be put in her place. And really, how long did Piggy expect Kermit to put up with her stunts?

[duranls1]

and this is why The muppets were 100% pure family quality program back then, not like today's shows, feel sorry for today's kids

[Sabuu2010]

1:10-1:15

Kermit finally grows balls

[SammySydMy13]

WHAT ARE THE OTHER DUMB THINGS PIGGY DID?

[SammySydMy13]

LMAO X1,000,000,000

[jacebz16]

L0L



[Lars99]

I agree. I never seen Kermit that angry.

[NYG4LIFE123]

WOW!!! Kermit puttin' his pig in line!

[AntiVenom36]

I bet Kermit hates the tabloids and gossip magazines and hate being on them even more, especially on the front cover.

[pikachugirl254]

dang miss piggy looks different

[meyerj75]

There was a time that Kermit was fed up with Miss Piggy karate chopping him on occasion and so the only way was to fire her after she pulled such as stunt only to unofficially be replaced by Loretta Swit. It was then the Loretta struggled to tell Kermit how important Miss Piggy was to the show and that the show would not survive without her presence. (Indeed, it probably wouldn't considering the fact that Kermit and Miss Piggy were key muppets on the show over Fozzie, Gonzo and Rowlf.)

[girgirl99]

*wimpering in fear*

[jenna5432]

I found this awesome Miss Piggy ringtone! If you love the pig-frog romance, this is for you. Hit up amazon and search for "Deblume Miss Piggy"or type "Miss Piggy Deblume" into itunes ringtones on your iPhone.

[sspongey98]

Oh my god... Kermit! You've have finally achieved manhood.

[RadaStudios]

true comedy

[CyndellWarrior]

Kermit's scary when he's mad 0__0



[Ramonajunie3]

KERMIT HAS ACHEIVED GOD MODE!!

[Artisan1979]

This clip should be called how Kermit got his jump back. That was a LONG time comin. Awesome and hilarious!

[Pooleman96]

@musiclover77able Actually, Walt Disney himself was a wizard at catering to both kids and adults back in his prime. The really early works catered ESPECIALLY to adult needs, Disney's "3 Little Pigs" actually symbolized what to do during the Depression! When he died, THAT is when his company began to go for mainly children. Without their genius fathers, both Mickey Mouse and Kermit the Frog are just two lost souls in the highway of children's entertainment.

[stevenscottoddballz]

Ha! It's about TIME Kermit fired that PIG! She has had her way for FAR too long! It's sad that it took something like this to make Kermit SO angry he did this, but SHE DESERVES IT!!

[pinkflower7783]

"Don't ask me I was asleep!"

[jo67445]

you are fire piggy!

[pinkflower7783]

If their fighting their married. :P

[PadawanLinea]

LOL @ Kermit's "What??!" to finding out he was secretly married XD

[LATEXDOLLTOMBOY]

@PadawanLinea Kermit saying WHAT?! is exactly the same reaction British Sci-Fi Hero Doctor Who says when disaster hits him >;)P Except when Doctor Who does it, His reaction is lot Funnier

[steadfasttinrobot]

@LATEXDOLLTOMBOY While I love Doctor Who, not everything is comparable. "What?" is a perfectly normal reaction. And If you're referring to 10, who is quite adorable, he was doing it about 25 years *after* this was filmed. And any fan should know, he's "The Doctor," not "Doctor Who."

[LATEXDOLLTOMBOY]

@steadfasttinrobot Which DOCTOR WHO are you referring to? Was the muppet Show on USA tv during early 1970's at same time Tom Bakers 4TH Doctor Who was on? He is the earlyest Doctor Who I have heard use that WHAaaaaaT? exclamation in such a way, loooong before,not after Kermit used it when hearing he was *aledgedly married* to Miss Piggy

[LATEXDOLLTOMBOY]

@LATEXDOLLTOMBOY or was it the 1960's 2ND DOCTOR WHO (Patrick Troughton) that was the earlyest DOCTOR WHO that made that WHAaaaaaT?! catchphrase The DOCTOR is so well known for,...which there was no Muppet Show since The 2nd Doctor Who was filmed in 1960? Many DOCTOR WHO fans knows that the BBC had destroyed much of those vintage and classic DOCTOR WHO footage and the tapes during those early episodes

[steadfasttinrobot]

@LATEXDOLLTOMBOY "What?" can't be a catchphrase. It's one very common word. Jim Henson didn't steal anything. There is no need to be so defensive. I said *if* you were referring to 10, not "since 10 is the only one you could possibly be referring to." Also, I would ask what the destruction of the early footage had to do with *anything,* but I would prefer not to sully this clip with any more arguing. You're right. Jim Henson so totally stole the word 'what.' How presumptuous of him!

[LATEXDOLLTOMBOY]

@steadfasttinrobot Dont see why not / or how that What? couldnt be used as catch phrase,Look at how The Simpsons Homer uses his D'oHH!! whenever somethings happens to him, ;-)To answer your question what the destruction of the early footage of those Early Doctor Who films has to do with anything,All of those early films that was on tapes many collectors would love to have instead of having to rely on ordering through the internet todays cheaply made,easily scratched Anti-copy proofed DVD

[lisvender]

It always cracked me up when Kermit lost his cool and had to immediately catch his breath.

[knguyen406]

Oh Kermit, you now owe the Donald so much money...

[meyerj75]

@musiclover77able And let's not forget all the movies that happened in 1977 like "Annie Hall", "Raggady Ann & Andy", "The Rescuers", "Saturday Night Fever", "The Good Bye Girl", "The Deep", "Smokey & The Bandit", "The Spy Who Loved Me", "Julia", "Black Sunday", "Cinderella", "The Hobbit", "MacArthur", "Pete's Dragon", "Rollercoaster", "Network", "Kingdom of the Spiders", "Star Wars", "Close Encounters", etc.

[meyerj75]

@musiclover77able Me too. I was born in 1975 around the same time ABC was dropping The $10,000 Pyramid.

[meyerj75]

@musiclover77able WOW! It's nice to see I'm not the only one! This proves that the Muppet Show really did touch a generation of fans Xers and Yers. If you were a kid, like I was, back in 1981, '82, '83, you weren't ready for Match Game. You weren't even ready for The Benny Hill Show. THE MUPPET SHOW WAS KING! Even Family Feud surveyed Kermit and Piggy as top of the list for the question of 'Name your favorite muppet.' Sadly, Rowlf the dog didn't make the list.

[meyerj75]

@musiclover77able Actually, my favorite muppet was Rowlf the dog (believe me, I always had a crush of him). In this episode however, he is seldom, if not rarely, seen. In the European version, he is seen with a cast of muppets preparing to sing "Auld Lang Syne" for Miss Piggy but was edited out in the states. Still, without Piggy & Kermit, there wouldn't be a Muppet Show or something like that. But I still agree, Piggy fits all of that criteria: charisma, glamour, style, etc .

[meyerj75]

@musiclover77able Believe me, she was huge back then and in my opinion, should have had her own series as she deserved to have one like kermit had here. She had the talent, charisma, and charm but Jim Henson didn't see it that way as he was more interested in producing the absymal Fraggle Rock ( I didn't get HBO back then). Still, it would have been fun to see her in those parodies on a weekly basis as she did in the special ( I was 7 years old then and was a HUGE Muppet Show fan as well).

[meyerj75]

@musiclover77able Do you recall a special Miss Piggy was on back in 1982 shortly after The Muppet Show got cancelled. It was called "The Fabulous World of Miss Piggy" and featured guest stars John Ritter and Andy Kaufman. At one point she wanted this to be a permament series for the 1982-83 series but network executives said it was only a special. And she went irate and completely destroyed the set at the end. That's how defiant she can become when she dosen't get her way.

[meyerj75]

@musiclover77able and because of this, they were eventually married after The Muppet Show was cancelled. Their proposal was seen at the end of the movie 'The Muppets Take Manhattan'. Still, I don't know how Kermit could handle/stand Miss Piggy's hi-yah karate smacks. That's usually the lowest part of the show but pale in compasion in any entire episode.

[faryfighter]

if i could get fired from my job like that it would be brilliant

[meyerj75]

This came from in my opinion the most irritating episode of the muppet show of all time!!! Kermit should have replaced and fired miss piggy years and years ago and replaced her with, uh, that purple lady from the Valentine's Day special.

[crazyramus]

kermit why u frontin we all know u hittin that smh

[stonelm191]

I wish Donald Trump fired people like that!

[Muppephile]

The frog needs to cut back on the caffeine...

[altawchrist]

a slight exaggeration

that was A BOLD-FACED LIE!!!!!

LOL classic

[ArticaSkylarKennedy]

I did a comic adaption with this scene for my own version of the muppet show!

[5278kelly]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[lisaisanut]

RIP Jim Henson

[sounds73]

"Cool"ture :D

[OLIVCHEN77]

VIVE LE MOI !!!!

[CarlyAKACmara]

0:38 doesn't Kermit sound like Ernie?

[huskies25]

@CarlyAKACmara Jim Henson did the voices for both ernie and kermit. Henson and Frank Oz did a lot of the original Muppet/Sesame Street characters

[TheAmazingThing101]

Kermit means BUISNESS

[Duisbuuuuurg]

Piggy reminds me of Jennifer Aniston somehow.

[natateaful]

Ah, a very dim memory from my childhood - the episode where Kermit was speaking French. If I recollect it rightly, he was whispering smth to Miss Piggy in her ear in French and her reaction was so hilarious as far as I remember - she just was shivering with passion with her lips parted as she couldn’t undersaned just a word but she was completely charmed, smth like that. I’m so eager to find it! Does anyone remember this one?

[muppetspuppets]

I miss soooooooo much how Kermit use to loose his temper!

[miss09lauren]

never seen kermie so mad, it's scary lol

[LeoArctica]

hahaha kermit is so funny when he gets angry XD

[ZNKChannel]

Jeeze Louise! I've never heard Jim voicing Kermit shrieking that loud! It still freaks me out!

[1marco7kamp]

piggy you are fired,you are fired,piggy you are fired,fired! LOL!

[TheSuperfliez]

If I got fired like that by a boss and in front of my co-workers,OMG...!

I think I would kill myself !

[Dragon1813]

Wow, Kermit was "Hoppin Mad" LOL!

[Shenruss]

YES! I'm sorry, DAT was FROGGIN' PRICELESS!!!

You ever see our favorite Lean, Green, usually Serene Director go NOVA before?! Nah! My boy was PISSED at that Pig, and just not HAVING it no more! I half expected straight CUSSING to fly! You could SEE he wanted to cuss!

"B-but...you can't fire me! I'm the STAR--"

"YOU can be REPLACED!"

DIS-MISSAL, boy! See y he's incharge? THAT is y K-Frog is TOP DOG, people!

Ladies, take a Facebook note: Don't EVER do THAT kinda shit to your man!

[Pooleman96]

I'm surprised to see that Kermit was finally the one wearing the pants in the relationship in this scene! Piggy hardly put up a fight like you'd expect her to.

[TDArulesclub4]

0:57 "That's a bald face lie!!" LOL I was laughting so hard when I saw that scene! LOL

[MeAmazingGrace11]

you do Dumb thing like that piggy

[Flapples987]

I just laugh too hard when I watch this XD.

[Bobsyermomsuncle]

"It's a bald face lie!" I love this.

[mcrrocks80]

cool show

[FateConquersAll]

0.0 wow that frog is MAD!!

[bigbenkentucky]

Whoa, I was sure Kermit was going to suffer some serious physical harm there. Hel-lo! Piggy is dangerous! Has it taken him this long to figure that out?

[benschlechter]

@bigbenkentucky I think Ms. Piggy would've given him the karate chop had he mentioned pork, bacon, pig, anything relating to swine.

[Airborne1995]

Kermit should be a Drill Sgt in the US Marine......lol

[ScottyMcGeester]

Kermit is SOOO fucking funny when he's mad and panicking.

[tobiaseichhorst]

wow,it finally happened, some day tut tut tut

[slimydick23]

he's mad like bill o'reilly was in that clip from inside edition

[flipponzin24]

Wow! I've been waiting for Kermit to do this for years!

[cheeto37]

Funny wen he gets mad

[gmoney1800]

Piggy:it's a slight exaggeration.

Kermit: THAT'S A BOLD FACE LIE!!

[kasumi421]

The reason why Kermit is so scary when he gets angry or full blown pissed off is because we never see him full blown pissed off. Until now, I never thought it was possible.

One scary frog. XD

[TsWade2]

Miss Piggy should of say:

Miss Piggy: But Kermie, I can't help it. I am madly in love with you!

Kermit: Well, I don't!

[Aragem]

Wow. . ..I can't remember when I ever saw Kermit so mad.

[veggietalesfan65]

wow its so rare when you see kermit mad

its scary O.O'''

[aquastar227]

Ha!

[theunknownpast]

I never liked Miss Piggy. No, I always thought of Lady Gaga whenever I saw her, and nothing pisses me off more than ego maniacs like her. She was using Kermit, and that's wrong. But to turn a negative story to a positive one..

I LUVS ANIMAL

[IANOYTYK]

How could you have always thought of Lady Gaga? Piggy's been around a lot longer than Gaga...

[TheLizzard0]

TROUBLE IN PARADISE!!!

[filmbuff98]

What's funny is how Kermit bitches and loses control- a scene done in such a way that you would see in a visceral soap opera between two real human beings- but with puppets. Hilarious. lol.

[ChrisC11291980]

Kermit always got upset before but I never actually saw him pissed off until this bit--and rightly so, as what did Piggy expect him to do if she planted a BS story in the tabloids?--. Someone said he was much more of a happy-go-lucky character on Sesame Street, well that was because he didn't run Sesame Street. He had a much harder job on this show.

[TheHumbleFellow]

You might say he's hopping mad!

Okay, that was awful...

[maziebunny]

no, that pun was all right. I don't like seeing Kermit angry, but this all right...unlike the news flash he did on Sesame Street when no one would answer his question of what makes them angry.

[cvvemuri]

The people who say that haven't seen his sketches with Grover or Cookie Monster.

He always gives a good scolding of Grover whenever he sells him useless items.

And there was a very classic episode of SS where Kermit really bitches on Cookie Monster for eating his smiley face used to demonstrate feelings.

[pgy002]

I LOVED Miss Piggy, hence my username, BUT I always wanted to see her get her ass kicked JUST ONCE!!!

[bezzybecks123]

GO ON KERMIT!!!!!!!

[The3rdHiltonSister]

Kermit is sooo sweet, Miss Piggy is just being a stupid ass bitch....why does she always upset him....I wish I had a boyfriend like Kermie...

Kermie is total boyfriend material....a girl can only dream :P

[bezzybecks123]

yh piggy is so stupid she needs a life!

[QueenOfBabylon1]

lolllllllll

[brianklick]

"Piggy have you been planting items about us in the gossip papers, AGAIN"

[finnishminnow]

What a funny skit!

[dewlulu]

HA ha ha funny i luv <3 kermit especially when he is yelling at someone like that

[VideoVixen24]

ROFLMAO @ Kermit going 5150!!

[BigEdKong]

My bad, it actually starts at 1:19 sorry.

[BigEdKong]

When Kermit says "I am not kidding!" at 1:21, he sounds like my best friend Neal.

[bozzer1992]

Whoa! Kermit has got guts! He had the nerve to yell at Miss Piggy for something she did behind his back! Shouldnt saw that coming!

[gusfromholland]

i love them all, but gonzo is a little scary...

[finnishminnow]

I disagree completely.

[gusfromholland]

why do you disagree?

common, that nose... and... brrrrrrrrr...

[finnishminnow]

I said "I disagree completely" because I don't think Gonzo's that scary to me.

[TheThomaslover1990]

Yeah, Gonzo may be a thrill-seeking whackjob, but he's not scary.

[konokitsune]

Well,well.The frog has the guts,after all.I love Kermit.XD

[kungfujiapple]

ROLF! This is the world's most funniest Muppet Show sketch! I saw this on "Jim Henson's Muppet Video: The Kermit and Piggy Story", distributed by Playhouse Video, and I think Kermit wants a divorce from Miss Piggy. I didn't think it would happen so soon, you know.

[miamivicepastels83]

muppet show trippin...."snorers" lol

[mspudds22]

Ok Ok Good Opening Number Chickens Go Check Your Guns

OOH Can i Help?!?!

XD

[HazyChase20]

Inspirational.

[ninjawolf08]

O SNAP :O

[kimierin]

I love it when Kermit gets really mad lol

[finnishminnow]

Me too.

[1985Nebraska]

I have never seen Kermit the Frog get so angry with Miss Piggy before. Usually it's Miss Piggy who's mad at Kermit.

[oldschooljamz87]

"That's a bald-faced lie Piggy!!" lol...

[fancypiper123]

Wow, that's one mad frog!

[Lucstarr]

This is one of my all time favorite Kermit and Piggy moments.

[finnishminnow]

I think it's one of my favorite (and hillarious) moments of Kermit & Miss Piggy too, man.

[Spongebob1000]

But Miss Piggy is one of the stars of the show, what'll they do without her.
