I'm my own Grandpa

[hadijahiscool]

thats kinda discusting if you think about it oh and they stole this from a movie x)

[hadijahiscool]

@hadijahiscool called the stupids

[451harri]

Thumbs up if you had to pause it with every new revelation in order to keep track of this.

[onedeadcat]

Official theme song of the Republicans.

[UGNecrophagist777]

......Then the DEA came and raided their meth lab.

[nellie2581]

It was in the movie the Stupids, which I didn't see yet.

[MultiMasterjake]

i know it you do it

simple you marry a women who has a daughter who is grown up

your dad falls in love with her and she has a kid he's your brother but hes your grandson then you have a kid with your wife and he becomes your uncle think about put it togather your own grandfather and your wife is your grandmother crepy yes but this is how to become your own grandpaw

[YSMelanesian]

So I just did a family pedigree (as exam revision, lol) and I now understand!! His wife's daughter from a previous marriage married his dad. That made his stepdaughter his stepmother. Therefore, the his wife is the mother of his new stepmother, making his wife also his grandmother. Since he is married to his grandmother (his wife/mother of his stepdaughter who is now his stepmother, making his wife his grandma) he is HIS OWN GRANDPA!!

[skywize]

Was this not originally Spike Jones and the City Slickers? I'm trying to find the version I grew up with and I am coming up short.

[Videokillar]

Wtf

[LittleKittenTiger]

dude i think it would be alsome to have this family

[lolerpro]

What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck.

Well, that was amusing.

[kikilecher]

weieddddd

ot right tht they would show this on a child show

[mojoeldiablo]

tis so wrong...A KID'S SONG ABOUT INCEST

[LeksServices]

@mojoeldiablo - The Muppet Show did alot of things that weren't necessarily "kid friendly." Furthermore, this is hardly "incest." Sure, it's a confused situation due to the way we label relationships, but it's hardly "incest."

[DerEchteBold]

@mojoeldiablo

no it's not (can't you listen?)

and btw muppets wasn't really meant as a kids show

[gedq]

why are all the musicians left-handed I wonder?

[TeachJoanne]

@gedq The muscians are left-handed because the puppeteers used their dominant hands (right) to work the heads, leaving their left hands free to work what became the puppet's dominant hand, their left. :)

[king1620]

i heard this song on the movie "the Stupids" with tom arnold

[TheRainaRainaa]

I can't keep up with this 

[iwilhelm070]

This is gay ur gay

[lainsmyfriend]

@iwilhelm070 thank you. we are all both enlightened and challenged by your point of view

[JessieAshley2010]

This song is sooo funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XDDDDDDD LMFAO

[Farmerfromtexas]

This is awsome !!! I wanna be my own grandpa 2 !!! :O

[1377nmarcu]

technically not incest seeing as he isnt blood related to his wife and his father isnt blood related to his own wife either. something like this happened to a girl i went to school with... she had a baby girl by the same guy that fathered her sisters baby girl. so its not incest for any of them but does make their baby girls half sisters as well as first cousins.

[bozakjackson]

This was written by Shell Silverstein.

[herringtunes]

WRONG mr. bozakjackson !!! song written by Dwight Latham and Moe Jaffe, In the '30s, Latham had a group, the Jesters, on network radio; their specialties were bits of spoken humor and novelty songs. While reading a book of Mark Twain anecdotes, he once found a paragraph in which Twain proved it would be possible for a man to become his own grandfather. In 1947, Latham and Jaffe expanded the idea into a song,

[joeyaustria1]

@herringtunes Thanks for this clear & usefull comment ! (Don't see a lot of them on YT).

[xxJamieLeexx100]

We had this song as extra credit assignment in Biology. We had to make a pedigree for it

[skullcowboy9t9]

@slowzen You're an idiot. First of all, it's the Muppets. If you don't have a sense of humor, you shouldn't be watching it in the first place. Secondly, listen to the lyrics, dummy... it's NOT talking about incest. But I recognize it says right in your name that you are S-L-O-W, so I shouldn't expect much from you. It's about a man who marries an older woman. The man's father then marries the woman's daughter. There by making him his own step-grandfather.

[skullcowboy9t9]

@slowzen  Bill Wyman from the Rolling Stones did this. He married his Son's wife's daughter.

[skullcowboy9t9]

@slowzen It's only slightly incestuous ;-) Now be a good little Christian & go back to church. The priest has a present for you in his pocket.

[KrautKopite]

@slowzen If you listened to the song you'd hear that it has nothing to do with incest.

[TheRaerae1971]

@slowzen It is so JERRY SPRINGER!

[Gonnakillyou]

@slowzen Ignoring for a while that this song has not to do anything with actual "inbreeding", why are you so passionate about incest anyway? I mean, it's just incest? :S

[slowzen]

@Gonnakillyou Uhh... I'm tired of receiving replies to that comment.

It's gone. Happy, anonymous?

[vmi02raven]

wait...wait...I'm my own my grand-pa....wha? (head explodes)

[BabyVanna]

It's sad... I know all these lyrics. 

[areoborg]

This family tree forms a Möbius loop

[ziggykelly]

Tom Arnold stole this for The Stupids!

[cainster]

@ziggykelly actually The Stupids came out in the 90s...this song had been around for at least four decades before then. Tom Arnold just "stole" the song because he hoped it would be funny. But since it was "The Stupids," it was never funny. Ever. The funniest part of that movie is the credits!

[marasu66]

Widdar, Cougar

[mistresslina]

Back when TV was good and it was made for kids to laugh and adults to laugh harder...

[TheDestroyerOfHumans]

the only way I figured it out is to draw diagrams of the various people

but it's still WTF?!?! lol

[NaiTaiDai]

Easy how the narrator came to this conclusion, isn't it? No matter how many times I hear the song, I still get confused about what happened. Anyone else?

[Jez32uk]

This is too complicated for today's X-factor, Big Brother get me out of here weined audiences.

[xxxGrahamMitchellxxx]

hilarious!

[SimGoddess07]

The hair looks more like Fraggle Rock... But I could be mistaken.

[khhnator]

theres no inbreed or incest at all in that, just a bunch of step-(something)

[BTBHSOHBOY]

This was on the Muppet Show?!?!

[macharmza]

i heard this in a movies some years ago and it did not make sense,but it does now

[PunkyBear36]

SO this is where it started! It wasn't Ray Stevens...He did a pretty good job on this song, though.

[tinglywoowoo]

Dr. Demento used to play the Homer and Jethro version. I can't imagine trying to explain this song to any kiddy watching the Muppets sing it. =D

[LcplHabon]

Stop incest

[golfecho2]

yeah ok Marine how about you remember this is for fun and kids

[camocam1997]

and we watched this video xD

[camocam1997]

in science class we where talking about sexual reproduction and why brother and sister dont have sex with each other or their first cousin or something

[ajp10k]

I had to word and explain how this works for extra credit in bio.

so worth it.

[AugustRushmoreism]

This made my dad my son in law, cause he... Oh, forget it.

[1foxtrot70]

I was born in Kentucky and this makes perfect sense to me...LOL

[drumstyx6464]

It's funny that this would never be aired on childrens television anymore, fuckin censors.

[BleachFan9891]

The most insane family tree ever planted. XD

[Shenorai]

And all thanks to that guy's father, too! XP

[kennymelodica]

hilarious - this song rocks! and so do the Muppets 5 stars

[annestafani816]

omg that's amazing XD

[sasorilover1000]

his wife is his grandma? 0-0

[FangBorn]

FUCKED UP BUT FUNNY AS SHIT

[ErichoTTA]

If I live to be 100, I'll never understand this song.

[timesmash]

If you live to be 100 you might not understand much of any thing by then (har har har)

[NaiTaiDai]

They were just starting out back then, and they weren't quite sure what would work. So, if a few of their skits and musical numbers seemed a bit childish, that's understandable, right?

[sanderstrebor]

LOL,this was kids show

[bad2bone]

actually no; it was created for family entertainment, it was really aimed at young adults, and their parents; kids wouldn't get a lot of the things suggested in this show

[GuukanKitsune]

Grandpa jone's legendary song as performed by the Muppets. This song is hilarious!

[sirusbones]

I wonder how long it took to come up with this entire situation! That's hilarious!

[Zerovarth]

man i got it half way through XD

[gen81465]

I was asking my wife the other day, and I said "Hey Sis, does this sound weird to you?". She said she originally thought so, but after talking with Uncle Dad, she changed her mind.

[Singsonggirl]

Awesome! The original situation isn't THAT unlikely to happen, but if you look at it from the different angles it's really complicated!

[sparrowcrazy]

Lmao I finally got it!

[maarakailet1]

So who did this song first. Ray Stevens?

[Jessicraft]

Haha!! Thanks Mikey Way!!

[elcindy13]

wait his wife's daughter's husband's son... what? im soo confused.. XD

[cheesenipprductions]

lol that guy had a wife who had a daughter and she got married and they had a son

[DaeDaeBird]

A Muppet song about inbreeding.

That is fantastic.

[ilikeymuzic]

actually theres no incest in there lol

[lilmaibe]

It's not about inbreeding...just about a very confusing familytree

[SimonGriffindor]

yeah it's all legal and "normal"

[IDKShow1]

[ExianProductions]

they just turned their family tree into a family bush..

[Mihail99pap]

soooo funny!!!!!!

[TheEssence12]

Incest = wincest.

That is what I have learned from this video.

[Jourell1]

No, if you can follow the song there's actually no direct incest involved, no one who's married is blood related to the other person. they're all step relatives (legally relatives), and the legality of that depends on where you are

[muussicislove]

im my own grandpa.

are you ?

oh, youre not.

okay ,  while that's fine....

[funkygiraffe]

I was at school the other day and started singing the chorus to this and then my friends looked at me weird and I told them someone had worked out in a song how they could be their own grandfather but that it was too complicated to explain.

Then one of my friends said "that's easy; just marry your grandmother".

As much as I hate to say it, she does have a point...

[Jourell1]

it's pretty simple really, most of the song is just window dressing to make it more complex

-the man marries his wife

-the wife's daughter becomes his stepdaughter

-the man's father marries his (step)daughter.

-since the daughter is married to his father that makes the daughter the man's mother in law.

-since his wife is the mother to his mother in law that makes her his grandmother.

-since he's married to his grandmother that makes him his own grandfather.

[Jourell1]

a little correction to my earlier statement, just as i'm reading it again, the daughter would be the man's stepmother not his mother in law since she married his dad.

[mutilation7777]

that is absolutly correct, thatnk you for simplifieing it.

but just a quick question, how many time did you want this to get that? lol, just curious cause i would have been there with a pen and paper writing it all down lmao.

[Jourell1]

*laughs* Actually i figured it out years ago. I had this song on an old Disney "silly songs" tape when i was a kid one day i brought it into a special advanced class i was in in elementary school, we went through it and figured it out.

[ThenBillSaid]

Copy and Paste of Sarah L. sent you here

[bhdrcool]

Muppets ROCKS .. looool

[PrimusAvatar]

The Muppet marries the older woman. This makes the woman's daughter becoming his stepdaughter. The Muppet's father marries the her daughter. Her daughter, being the new wife of the Muppet's father, is now both his stepdaughter and his stepmother. The Muppet's wife, being the mother of his stepmother, makes her both spouse and step-grandmother. The husband of the Muppet's wife would then be the Muppet's step-grandfather. Since the Muppet is that person, he managed to become his own grandfather.

[Juji909]

But just think of the guy who wrote this. I think he forgot to take his medicine...

[ryuhinomaru]

He was probably high as balls.

[SideShowAli]

poor kids these days without their acid fuelled entertainment

[jmpgeneral]

It was Willie Nelson.

[Juji909]

Lol we used this video and had to make a pedigree to show how this was possible for Science class. I got it right! :o I don't know how. It's insanely confusing :o

[MusicontheBrain247]

I've watched this three times in a row and I'm still trying to process it lol

[J8neSez]

so fucking creepy someone thought fo this lol

[elektraeriseros]

someone had to make fun of this sooner or later....

[spudster007]

Lol we watched this today in biology and our teacher made us do a pedigree of this.

[nigexiaobikeide]

太他妈搞了

[Emzywalla]

lol this is weird but i llove it. i wanna understand it and its taking me a verryyy long time ........... LOL

[Kanezeran]

What;s the south like?

Pretty much like in the dukes of hazard, 'cept we fuck our kin a whole lot more...

[timeisticking1360]

love this song! funny, i wanna learn it on guitar or piano or SOMETHING!

[jochannel]

It works just from the marriage, so the song isn't really necessary, but ah well :)

[ode2bobo]

this is the most amazing muppets video EVER!

[Jendellyn]

YAAAAY!!!

[Keijz74]

Weird bunch of muppets. Or Muppet bunch of weirdos. I have seen this band before in the Muppet show. Like it.

[NuclearMisfit]

Its not really incest its like getting married to someone whos related by marriage. This song just blows my mind, let alone have it being sung by a bunch of muppets.

[cheesemansmells]

yeah because of course it's only incest if you where blood relatives, but even though it sounds like alot of people it's only 4 people.

[allieda1st]

i luv this song its funny.

coming from kentucky i hear incest jokes all the time. even people in my family make incest jokes. which isnt true its not my fault i'm from the hick areaof kentucky. im proud to be aredneck though

[roht5]

Haha, even redneck muppets like incest!

[OCDragon588]

moar like wincest amirite?

[Adorkable21]

Are you calling Sam and Dean rednecks?

mmm wincest!
