The Muppets: Kermit and Fozzie

[Zentoris]

No matter how old you are, you will never get old enough to drop The Muppets! ;D

[Dragnay]

@Eternalshadowgamer It's a running gag that's been going on for a LONG time, since before and after "Muppets Take Manhattan" that the Kermit/Piggy relationship is kept deliberately ambiguous. Piggy often claims they're married, but not always. Kermit's response to the question varies. It's been going on since long before Disney -- even in "Muppets Take Manhattan" the famous wedding wasn't a real wedding, but part of a Broadway musical the Muppets put on.

[sspongey98]

Kermit - Steve Whitmire

Fozzie - Eric Jacobson

It's been this way since Jim Henson passed away and Frank Oz went on to directing.

[0alightinaugust0]

That's not Kermit. That's not Fozzie. I feel weird.

[kramler]

sounds like kermit has a human in his thoat. Doesn't sound like he used to

[raxor2812]

Why am i watching this? ;)

[paolo123iuvone]

in the first movie he says WAKA WAKA!!

[kxmode]

Somehow Kermit is just not the same without Henson's voice.

[95Godfather]

I love Fozzie and Kermit, they're one of my favorite muppets

[Strivenigga]

WAKA FLOCKA!

[skankindrunk22]

"were not gonna be tested later are we"?

[LindseyGtv]

that's not Kermit's real voice.

[IMOU5EYI]

god i miss these guy's :'/

[bart11114]

@Smokeyanna1  He was until Disney bought the rights to the Muppets.

[topgadg]

LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL­OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[futuremadonna6]

guys, their voices are weird because Jim died and the original tv show r from the 70s...

[greedygretch]

@futuremadonna6 so agree with you on that. :-(

[Imeniaan]

what the fuck is wrong with their voices, what the fuck man. fuck this shit!

[movndick]

YEEEAAAh! wAKA WAKA!!!!

But...is´nt the Kermit voice...

OMG...

WAF!!

[movndick]

YEEEAAAh! wAKA WAKA!!!!

[ecthomas02]

bad kermit voice

[VProductionzZ]

you know you fucked up school when you have to talk to puppets

[kenshinro7]

I can do a better Kermit voice then this, I love kermit. Gonzo get's no love.

[schroepfel]

great !!!

[TheRamsesII]

@Smokeyanna1 Kermit was one of the first main characters on Sesame Street - and icon of the show, actually. He appeared every show in many roles.

[creeper49]

@Smokeyanna1 yeah he was a few times as a reporter

[TheRamsesII]

@creeper49 more than just a few times, and a lot more than just as a reporter. He was an icon of the show and one of the main characters. On every episode in various skits and roles.

[TheGrandmastercash]

there so good i forgot they were puppets for a bit

[Redshirtbear247]

Waka Flocka stole his name from Fozzie :(

[sl1ckass]

the 3 is right after .... :) the biggest!!

[meminemyselfyoyque]

i miss the kremit's voice...

[Angie2343]

Fozzie is probably regretting that he EVER did that warm-up act now.

[kaffesurrogat]

I can't stand hearing Kermit now days. I just starts crying.

[TheRamsesII]

No way. that's not them.

[creeper49]

@TheRamsesII it is them



[TheRamsesII]

@creeper49 Jim Henson is dead so someone else is doing Kermit. It's nice, but not the same.

[TheRamsesII]

@creeper49 and also not the original Fozzie voice. Still, I like the fact that the Muppets live on..

[BroadwayBoy2007]

No the muppets are not the same without Jim and Frank, but I think it is still important that The Muppets stay around. Our world wouldn't be the same without them.

[TsukiNoTragedy]

I am shocked about what Kermit said about his relationship with Piggy. XD

I agree with Awesoman, Jacobson does a great job as Fozzie.

[skateolo123]

I don't like new kermit voice...why Jim dead!;///;((((!

[cheeto37flash]

the muppets arent the same without jim henson and frank oz

[brooksdar]

waka waka this for fizzie bear

[Albylion]

This guy cannot pitch to the Muppets worth crap.

[butterpoop]

where's the one where Kermit and Fozzie gangbang Miss Piggy and then go to TJ and find some puppet hoes?

[Jonbwriter]

It's Fozzie Bear, yayyyy!!

[BobChippewa]

i'm a big Fozzie fan

[UltimateThanos]

As for Eric Jacobson, I think he needs a little more time to work on Fozzie's voice. I have every bit of faith that he will improve in these next few years. I mean, Frank didn't always sound like Frank. If you go back to the Muppet Show season 1, you'll notice that Frank's Fozzie sounded alot like Eric's Fozzie sounds right now. Wait and see guys. I know it's not what we're used to, but in time you'll learn to appriciate it for what it is.

[Awesoman]

I think Eric Jacobson's Fozzie is uncanny.

[UltimateThanos]

I was always very pleased with Steve's performance as Kermit. He had a little trouble at first but since then he's gotten better and made it his own. You gotta give the guy a break. He had some BIG friggen' shoes to fill. You don't think Jimmy MacDonald had alot of pressure when he took over as Mickey Mouse?

[Angie2343]

@UltimateThanos I'd love to get to meet all the Muppets.

[stepilon]

Voices are awful....especially Kermit's. Come on! It can't be that hard to find someone who can do a decent Kermit voice and a little improv. He's just one of the most imitated voices ever.

[historyfreakfroman]

@stepilon LOL I know I imitate him too

[va3svd]

What? That's doubtlessly Steve Whitmire doing Kermit.

[stepilon]

From a personal point of view, I frankly don't care who is doing Kermit's voice, it's way wayyyyy off. It's not even close to Kermit's voice on Sesame Street or The Muppet Show. That's my reference and, I assume, most people's reference as well.

[lolcat13243]

kermit sounds gay.

[eddiminus]

Yeah Kermit isnt the same without Jim, but it actually would be pretty good if his new voice would have studied Jim's way if pronunciation a little more carefully, especially the way he always pronounced "the" and "a"

[MCCruelICWS]

he is still ok man, like i understand that its not the same but it will have to do

[Spongies06]

Waka waka, who wants to hear a funny ass joke?

[Phatnick21]

well now at least that family guy joke makes sense to me.

[asian915]

jim henson did kermit

frank oz does fozzie...frank oz is still alive

[willdog8975]

yes Frank is still alive

[keithp74]

ohhhhhh man this sucks. kermit and fozzie are ruined with these new voices. it just isn't right or the same. (SIGH)

[TheAndy349]

y does kernit sounds like ernie

[MattiasXL]

Jim Henson voiced both of them.

[saraggle08]

@TheAndy349 Because Jim Henson voiced both Kermit and Ernie, and now Steve Whitmire voices them since Jim Henson has passed on.

[trashleyrx]

It's just sad...Kermit I mean...it's not the same. *sniffle*

[Miserylovesme4ever]

waka waka!

[Miserylovesme4ever]

STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!

[lettrism]

that's great. why haven't more people seen this?

[godsloved3]

i just pretend kermit has a cold and it helps lol

[swITCHflikA109]

Everybody Loves Fozzie...wahka walka!aaaahaha!

[SANJARODNOY]

А МНЕ НРАВЯТСЯ ЭТИ ЧУДИКИ)))))

[willdog8975]

wa???

[xyz317]

Did Kermit used the term "forest fire."

What a dirty frog.

[Angie2343]

I wanna meet the Muppets.

[mattapee]

WAKA WAKA WAKA

[Luckyboys4080]

muppets are immortal.

as is sesame street.

except now it's veggie monster, kick whoever thought that up in the pants.

but fozzie the bear is the man.

[mr93279]

Luckyboys4080--

Veggie Monster doesn't exist. That was only a wild rumor.

Cookie Monster is still around and he still eats cookies, its just that he now also eats fruits and vegetables because they want to promote healthy eating habits.

I know, its seems unnecessary, but heck, He is willing to eat anything, really.

And I agree, Muppets are immortal. :D

[Aprite22]

no they r actually turnin him inito the celery monster now

[TutDtUt]

jelliegurl86--

This has been Kermit's voice since the early 90s.

[JanksterProductions]

I know, but Kermit shouldn't have to die with Jim henson. And jim henson picked steve whitmire (this kermit) to voice him. So I'd say its ok.

[TutDtUt]

JanksterProductions--

I agree! :)

[unclefestus]

Well if Jim Henson picked this guy himself to be the voice of Kermit, then I say it's okay.

[Superstarseven]

@jelliegurl86 You're 24 so that means you were a toddler when Jim Henson died. This should be the kermit the frog you know. I'm old enough to remember the Jim Henson tribute special where everyone heard Kermit's new voice for the first time. Your complaint is baseless.

[PurpleVolvagia]

I know all this, love, thanks. Hasn't got anything to do with my opinion on the current voices, though.

And thanks a lot giving me thumbs down for this, lads. Truly shows your age. (not meant for you, TutDtUt)

[TutDtUt]

Well, its certainly better than just retiring the characters. Considering how long the Muppets have been around, changes are bound to happen.

Jim wanted them to continue using Kermit even after he was gone.

[PurpleVolvagia]

old voices rocked, this is terrible

[TutDtUt]

Well, the original performer of Kermit was Jim Henson, and he passed away years ago.

And the original performer of Fozzie, Frank Oz, has retired from Muppet work.

So its impossible to have the originals.

Besides, the performer of Kermit from this video, Steve Whitmire has been performing Kermit since the early 90s.

And Eric Jacobson has been performing Fozzie since 2002.

[toadenk]

lol that was good,and you can tell those actors did there homework, it was good

[jaythunder17]

THAT IS NOT KERMIT'S VOICE.

IMPOSTER.

[Jamiethewookie]

Yeah it is. Has been for nearly 20yrs. Get over it.

[christiefaith]

This interview is bad. I'm a super fan of the Muppets, but Kermit sounds like someone else completely and Fozzie only has the right voice part of the time. Totally lame.

[Gabrielle261]

Hey I don't hear any buzz!

Oh no,I ate it, it was my lunch.

Classic muppets!

[OlgaGalanaki]

I LOVE MUPPET SHOW!

[anthonym2121]

FOZZIE BEAR!!!!

[ashfae]

Whoohoo!!!
