Muppets Tonight - S2 E1 P2/3 - The Artist Formerly Known As Prince

[xxbrokensinxxify]

i would watch this show all the time i cant believe i missed prince being on it...

[MsFruitbasket]

Yeah, we know he can sing the phone book!

Prince=Uber Cool :-)

[MsFruitbasket]

OkAY. . .i NEED a Prince Muppet!!

He makes the muppets HOT~!!

[RIVERKINGERIC]

Starfish and Coffee is one of Prince' least known songs, yet one of my favorites; and the closest one to bringing me to tears next to Purple Rain.

[tritone11]

cynthia rose is sooo sweet:)

[tritone11]

hahaha raspberry sorbet....i love this ....so .....nice....with all the characters sliding around on the purple banana^^

[dawn329]

I love Starfish and Coffee so much. It is one of my favorites by him. I never thought I would see him perform it. Thank you for posting this. :)

[MrMetalmanRock]

2:40 Tilt for star power! LOL That's a Guitar Hero joke.

[Fr3sh488suckaz]

The laugh track kills this show.

[OddOneOut665]

I think I like his performance of "Starfish and Coffee" here much more than the original version on his "Sign 'O' The Times" Album. I wonder why he never bothered putting this version as a B-Side or something.

[catboyzee123]

@OddOneOut665 This version is WAY better than the album version. This version is better produced, the album version sounds more like a demo...and probably was.

[whitebishop1]

I think Sal just killed Kermit!!!

[jeffreywarley]

HI-LA-RIOUS! Thanks for putting this up.

[crenshawjohn]

Great show!  Good to see serious artists outside their element sometimes.

[reeceeooo]

muppets

[reeceeooo]

Prince and the muppet, yea that was alright. I think I'll watch it again, and again and again.....

[TheDarkNeonHero]

FINALLY! that annoying Bubble guy gets eaten! Now we don't have to bother with him!

[EchoBoomer1987]

I wish Disney would re-air these instead of the tween shows that plague it now :(

[thelyubster]

God,I miss the 90's..

[mlcoolk1]

Prince and the muppets doing "Starfish & Coffee"? this is too, too cute!!!!!! and seeing Prince here on the Muppet Show being a kid at heart is all the more cute!!!!.

[thetman102771]

i love the 'starfish and coffee' number. very cute....

[fromthip81]

Isn't Prince left handed?, I know he plays the guitar right handed>

[swingwood]

Prince is THE man!!

[elizaakababyd]

wow ..he have a sweet n soft side

[JxSEXYx]

who else had an oragasim when the flower bloomed near his face?

[DrunkenMasterWarrior]

Very HEAVY!

[prncfrk]

Thank You so much for this!

[partyangel182]

so hard not to love prince he's so darn sexy and love his singing always has his music playing makes my husband a lil jealous lol

[youngbull42185]

jesus christ...15 years ago...

[unlolshtopable]

is it wrong that this pig gave me a boner?

[Therealjoe2010]

At 4:31, if you pause it, you can see Kermit has no legs! XD

[TheGORILLAZFAN2323]

just look at the muppet version of prince,he acts just like him

[LaToyaVNikki]

Oooooh... he looked sooo pretty! In a manly way. I love this and his puppet.

[BunnyBaeBay]

He still manages to be sexy for a little kid show....

What a talented man...

[Superstarseven]

@BunnyBaeBay It's not a little kid show. This isn't Sesame Street.

[BunnyBaeBay]

@Superstarseven When I watched it I was a little kid. So to me, it was. The show appealed to all ages.

[evillbeetle]

this is really good

[MrThomas564]

Starfish & Coffee; Sign o' the Times!

[KingofPepsi]

I'm sorry, but 4:35 thru 5:05 needs to be edited out!! I always thought some of Jim Henson and the Jim Henson Creature Workshop creations were too freaky and scary-looking. Absolutely terrifying!! YIKES!!

Carl, The Big Mean Bubble Guy is horrifying. Just looking at him is a shock. And then what does Carl do?! He EATS a guy!! What the?! Is this the Muppets or a show on how nightmares are made?!!

(Sesame Street has actually removed some Muppet characters for being too disturbing for kids.)

[GINOFUMO829]

@KingofPepsi that's what the muppets are about, being freaky looking

[KingofPepsi]

@GINOFUMO829, Not really. Muppets are used in "Seasame Street", and that's a program for children to learn, not have nightmares.

I remember "Sesame Street" had this freaky, scary rabbit-looking Muppet that juggled. I thought he was too disturbing for kids. I later read that the character was removed for being too disturbing for kids.

[freedoomofspeech]

So cool !

[glamourgirlps9019]

First time seeing this. Love it.

[Bien1814]

I love starfish and coffee, it's so silly, can't help smiling when i hear it!

[JesusPuppet]

wonder what ever happened to that O(+> puppet.

[nakeshaj]

Cute!!

[envymeforgood]

Prince needs to have kids before he's to old !

[Rolo8942]

Prince was going to have a child a while back, he had a son, but he died a little while after he was born and Prince tried to keep it cool for a while, he tryed not to show sadness but he did try to have a child and its actually really sad that happened

[jnfan2011]

@envymeforgood how insensitive.

[marcia7523]

How cute and funny. I had no clue Prince ever did anything like this.

[Bdog1277]

Prince acted better in this than he did in Purple Rain and Grafitti Bridge, lol!

[cheeseinspace]

this is a good song

[honeegrrl]

Only Prince could make hot song about food :-)

[kalimaganeshshivan]

That's sad, as much money as Prince makes and he's taking that little rat's five dollars!

[Humanicristarian]

@kalimaganeshshivan , what are you talking about prince being rich? Why do you think he talks so much about the record industry? They get 90% of the profit (print labels, radio ads, promos, tv station conferences) while the artist gets the rest. And plus he owes $2 million in back taxes. That's exactly why you will see artists playing the road until the day they die: they need the money to pay bills and to pay back the outrageous bill they were charged for their videos produced.

[kalimaganeshshivan]

@Humanicristarian I was making a joke! Can't you tell the difference?

[kalimaganeshshivan]

Prince's beatnik look reminds of Manyard G. Krebbs of Dobie Gillis!

[blessed7588]

The monkey is a briliant satire of chiropractors....ha haha

[YvGenesis]

lolol<3<3<3 PRINCE MUPPET !

[aishaxoxobela]

5.17 Jew muppets lol

[TheMireaux7]

this video never meant to cause you any sorrow, it never meant to cause you any pain, its strange to see Prince here laughing, cause he aint selling records like he did with Purple Rain,...Purple Rain.....PURPLE RAIN

[mjprincehpgirl13]

Is it wrong that I'm jealous of a muppet?

[drivergurl]

Love the little Prince muppet!

[pickzkickz]

Why the hell am I just seeing this!? Awesome! Prince fan since 79'. : )

[RighteousBrother]

@pickzkickz Heh! I'm a Prince fan from about '85, just saw this today (Read about it in a Prince book)

[3peas2pods]

Love! Love! Love this!

[Monyette19]

he is so fuckin Sexy!!!

[SingMia777]

I love the muppets and I'm thinkin starfish fruit, french vanilla cinnamon tea in a coffee cup, 1 corn meal infused pancake, pure maple syrup (no ham) and clementine orange/mandarine jam..... tell me ur price and the tip, sir and it will be heaven right here on earth...I will bring the sunshine take care, SingMia

[darketh21]

I love the Waldorf and Stenler sketch!Nice to see them get out of there house!

[tmgnyaface]

lol that don't even sound like prince! his voice is sometime deeper when he talks. this is so weird seeing prince like this but i like it! i believe this was around the time he was gonna be a father...

[AndroGurl]

Sal be fuckin' em up!!!!!

[NaiTaiDai]

Sal: "How's your ma?"

Johnny: "Oh, Ma's good, I just talked to..." *Gets thrown down and stomped on by Sal*

XD That has to be one of the best scenes of this show, right?

[TheGORILLAZFAN2323]

prince as a muppet,amazing



[ellen3367]

8:10 - 8:11 That scene is now embedded into my memory and the only thing I will ever imagine whenever I listen to Prince.

[treelover320]

RASBERRY SORBET 

[treelover320]

lol i love the prince puppet

[xxEmotionxSicknessxx]

He only did it because he's taller than the muppets :P

[CeciliaBrim]

I loved seeing Prince in overalls. He didn't look so skinny, and he actually looked really cute! :D

[musiqtube1]

who the hell is the Jamaican dude?

[kay77764]

i love prince:)

[xiolian22]

Haha! Now this is a side of Prince I've never seen before!! :D

[quietstorm77]

Love! That's Starfish and Coffee from his Sign O The Times album.

[AimzSukotto]

I think the Prince Muppet is awsome it even has his symbol on the back! I want that jacket haha. His "They aint?" is so cute.

And damn I could just eat him up x3

[EvilKris]

that song was actually pretty good, lol...

[NatureVisions]

Who knew? I love the Muppets, and I love Prince, but never thought they'd be together, lol! Man, though, he's so sexy and cool no matter what he does:-)

[roscotaco]

lmao that southern accent....and the faces to accompany it priceless

[Monyette19]

prince is so sexy on this show!!!!! OMG lord how mercy, if prince was to ask me to marry him right now i will do it. All of his other ex wives divorced him, shit who tha fuck wants to divorce prince rogers nelson?!!!!!!! I will do everything that i possibly can to keep prince, these bitches got to be out they fuckin mind!!!!! shit me and prince will be fuckin every night. I like every about that nigga, espescially his beautiful skin complexion

[bbygirlsamiam701]

@Monyette19 you got that right sista♥

[roscotaco]

@Monyette19 amen girl!

[vegbird1]

Check out the Prince muppet (@ 6:31)! I would love to get my hands on that! Preciousness!

[vegbird1]

@vegbird1 - 8:03 -- Prince dancing with the little girl Muppet! Doesn't get much cuter than that!

[shortcup85]

@vegbird1 dog:god this is amazing. why do they let the monkey do that? poor kermie.

[Songstress92]

Wow, Prince with a southern accent. Quit playing. LOLOLOL.

[TheEmachines22]

Which of his songs is the music from?

[NaiTaiDai]

"I broke its spine." XD

[bigollameo]

How good natured must *Insert Symbol Here* be to poke fun at himself and have fun with his own style on a show that's between that splits the child and adult range?

I'd say the guy is pretty damn classy and has a good sense of humor in addition to his own star power and musical talent.

[Superstar33000]

lol i luv when he's dancing with the muppet 8:00

[sango3876]

It's hard to say his symbol my mom just calls him Prince

[Lisa94582]

"Karl" at 4:35. The Kierkegaard of our time.

[dudette0911]

I love that look he gives at 8:40. It's like aw hell, you know shit's going down now!

[asong4lulu1]

John Mayer stole!!!!!

[princelovesme94]

Well today we call him Prince, back then he was the symbol! :)

[sango3876]

Do we still call him Prince or the symbol?

[przekwitanie]

@sango3876 we call him Prince ;)

[sango3876]

@przekwitanie thank U so much because his symbol is mixed with Mars and Venus's symbols

[fstop77]

funny!!!

[kalimaganeshshivan]

I always wondered why Prince was never on "Sesame Street"? He could have done "Alphabet St", that would have looked cool with the other Muppets.

[EllinikaMavroMuslim]

my gosh this performance the starfish and coffee one..always makes me cry..idk why. but thats my fav prince song

[DarthWill3]

S: Hey! Waldorf, look at that! The Show is 10 times as BIG!

W: Yeah! Too bad it's 1/10 as FUNNY!

Both: DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!

S: Hey, let's see what else is on. Hand me that remote.

W: Oh. Whoa... It's big... Urgn...

S: Hey... CAREFUL!!!

They sure know where to find big accessories, don't they?

[ChiknThighTatorPie]

LOL@ 6:31

[creeball]

even his muppets song about food is cool! 

[AquaCherokee27]

Great video skit. Prince was quite hilarious.

[domellcun]

Best Version of Starfish & Coffee HANDS DOWN!

[LordChubChub]

I love how he even runs all girly...I <3 Prince!

[3jandkc]

Haha I Love Prince!!!! <3 this is so funny "Raspberry sorbet" gotta love the original song!

[drwiggleston]

Never thought id see the day! I love seeing this side of him. For years he's been extremely elusive, an interview here and there but even that was guarded. He's flown the heavens so long, its awsome to get the earthly side. Beautifully complex.

[tamar6431]

PRINCE ESTÁ LINDO DE MACACÃO , UM FAZENDEIRO VERY CUT. MAS EU NAO SABIA QUE PRINCE TINHA MEDO DE JACARÉ.

O JACARÉ LATE COMO UM CACHORRO?

O RATINHO COM O SYMBOL DE PRINCE,5:30 ESTÁ QUERENDO APOSTAR COM ELE SE ELE CONSEGUE FAZER UMA MUSICA COM QUALQUER COISA QUE ELE DISSER!

ELE CANTOU COM OS MUPPETS, QUE FOFO CANTOU starfish and coffee.

[Shavarnarak]

@ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD

Well with that changing his name to a symbol thing I'd guess he'd either have a sense of humour, or he's another one of those celebrity scientologists.

Good thing it's the former then. At least I'd hope so.

[tamar6431]

@Shavarnarak PRINCE E CRIATIVO COMO ELE DISSE ESTE SYMBOLO E O AMOR, IMPRONUMCIAVEL NOME. ACHO QUE ELE FICOU ZANGADO PORQUE ESTAVAM USANDO SEU NOME.POR ISSO CRIOU O SYMBOL E A NPG. SUA GRAVADORA BANDA DE REFORÇO. SEMPRE FOI INDEPENDENTE. MY BABY

[aishaxoxobela]

@Shavarnarak hes a Jehovas Witness

[kalimaganeshshivan]

@ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD Actually Prince has always had a sense of humor going back to "Under the Cherry Moon" because he didn't want people to think of him as the moody and suicidal "Kid" from the "The Purple Rain" era. Plus check him out on "The GQ Man of the Year" Award Show when he introduces Chris Rock acting like an old man right here in this room.

[ZackAttack7492]

if you look closely at 4:43 you can see those little bubble handles behind Karls head

[wirtka]

Amazing! Prince forever!!! I'm so happy that his videos are finally on youtube.

[ohhmygosh23]

OMG never thought I'd see the day... =/

[bexlovesjoker94]

Raspberry sorbet, lol

[tamar6431]

prince e um homem belo e sabe interpretar maravilhosamente e cantar este eo melhor

[1luvKamiSama1]

my first born was 2 years when I had this video.

[rockickmusic]

Theme song of my life always takes me to my happy place!

[darksidedelia1]

OMG. This is the cutest thing I ever saw.It made me love Prince all over again!

[MrCapitalfinal]

Never saw this, never heard of... Prince on Muppets? I ' M S P E E C H L E S S ...

[jerseygirl6]

@MrCapitalfinal me too!

[tinapbutler]

This is really cute!!!!!

[ryoryox]

ohhhh myyyy godddd...... i just died.

[creativa15]

I want more!!!

[mookiebut713]

no way u can possibly watch this withouyt a huge smile on your face the whole time!i can't wait to see him in concert!!

[NECESSARY777]

This is funni when u know his song ha ha

[memyself2k]

I'll bet he can write a song about diarrhea.

[princeraspberryberet]

@memyself2k

ewwww, but probably lol!

[klwewf]

The way Prince looked at the camera when he found out what the desert was is priceless. Brilliant comedic timing.

[princeraspberryberet]

@klwewf

Raspberry sorbet Lmao!!!

i love his comedic timing in under the cherry moon with jerome!

[Rufusclinton]

When i went to the muppet convention, I got Kermit and Sal to do the stiff neck bit! It was AWESOME!!!

[TheBeautifulblackgrl]

i lovvve that

[purplexxe8]

Damn! I wish I was in his arms....lucky puppet........I so love it when Prince smiles and laughs.....I swear it drives me crazy!

[paintingsbypenni]

adorable!!!!

[TheStrawberryBeret]

That was great!!! I loved it!!! Thanks so much for posting this!!!

[TheStrawberryBeret]

LOL!!!! Raspberry Sorbee!!!

[loveit2073]

The perfect song for The Muppets.



[snapdragon11]

Hey johnny, how's your ma?

[BorrelliRF]

That's Chazz Palminteri Voice in the first sketch (If I'm not wrong)

[BorrelliRF]

That's Chazz Palminteri Voice

[Bdog1277]

This doesn't surprise me. Those close to Prince always said that he's very funny. He's just so shy and withdrawn in public. George Clinton said that Prince keeps him laughing all the time.

[rObLoWeOBSESSED]

this makes me happy :)

[leoshiajr]

aww prince is so damn fine

[dsimpsons1]

The purple Muppet with the dredlocks (name escapes me) looks kinda like Prince. A little ironic.

[1958NelsonPrince]

Uhh.! Prince Iss Soo Finee.! I Lovee Himm :) ♥

[inmydreamsify]

That was so funny i guess prince is a real genius

[daphnerh1984]

OMG!!! I love this! Prince was so fun and carefree during these days, he had a bright future ahead. I hate seeing him so shy and withdrawn these days. I hope he has more days like this ahead of him. He was doing all kind of public things and it was so great to see him smiling and acting goofy. I adore Prince, he really means alot to me. Him in those overalls is classic! Won't be seeing that again. Prince is awesome, love him to pieces!

[MrsBeasley319]

STARFISH AND COFFEE! perfect for this show! haahah . god love him

[TheSecondEvolution]

Prince in Overalls. Now I've seen everything.

[RATMfan92]

@TheSecondEvolution I thought the same thing! LOL this stuff is way too funny :D

[ChiknThighTatorPie]

@TheSecondEvolution and in a cowboy hat

[lovejazzy12]

why prince, what beautiful eyes you have!

[princeskipper1]

@lovejazzy12 He is so beautiful, I cannot stop looking at him!  What entity comes to him when he writes a song? It must be God.

[lovejazzy12]

@princeskipper1 I know Right! *melts*

[princeskipper1]

@lovejazzy12 Thanks, someone agrees.

[courte28]

Thanks for putting ths on you tube. I always wanted to see this.
