Yeah, my favourite one is where Robbin Williams appears on sesame Street (still technically Muppets) and Elmo accidentally calls him "Mr Robbins". He then proceeds to slump back into the puppeteer pit and goes"I only had three lines" :'D
Frank Oz is one of those people especially gifted at turning bloopers into entertainment, like Rik Mayall :) Check out the Emmet Otter's Jug Band outtakes that are out there somewhere.
When I was a kid I genuinely didn’t realise since in a muppet movie the credits always listed the muppet name rather than the puppeteer and I thought that credits were legally binding or something xD
They are insanely good. A true estimate to that is when the Big Bird actor came in full costume to Jim's funeral and sang "It's not easy being green". Imagine how hard it is to stay in character while fighting back your own tears.
The Swedish Chef always knows the right thing to say in Swedish. Gordon Ramsay has been real quiet since the Swedish Chef started throwing his utensils and making the finest Michelin-starred meals
The Swedish chef took two puppeteers, one for the mouth and one for the hands. Henson and Oz always tried to knock the pots off the back wall when they threw the utensils at the start of the sketch.
The Muppet Show was never intended to be a kid's show; that's what Sesame Street was for. In fact, one of the original pitch-productions (it was too early in the game to properly call it a pilot) was called Muppets: Sex & Violence. It was always Henson's goal to re-awaken puppeteering as a storytelling medium for all ages, and the Muppet Show was a major step in that direction.
Rowlf: That sums Italians for ya- The audience: He's got a point. He's an icon, he is a legend, and he IS the moment Thankfully the NY mafia didn't watch because if they did, Rowlf definitely wouldn't have survived in The Muppets Take Manhattan

I remember reading about the Muppets time on the very first season of SNL right before _The Muppet Show_ premiered. The SNL cast (except for Gilda Radner) and writers all hated them. Writing the Muppet sketches was always the job of the newest writer because it was considered punishment. A writer recalled bringing his script over to Henson‘s hotel room, and Henson saying, _”No, he wouldn’t say this”._ The writer just complained how the Muppet was lying flat on an ironing board in front of him, so he thought the whole thing was stupid. Early writer Michael O’Donahue’s famous quote, “I don’t write for felt”. Jerks..
And he took a Big Bird doll and strangled it with venetian blinds. And John Belushi would often gripe about giving up screentime for The Mucking Fuppets.

I never really watched the muppets as a kid. Mostly because my parents didn't really like them. I really like puppets. The Swedish chef always gives me the giggles
That's okay; the Muppet Show wasn't meant especially for kids anyway. :) And total agreement: Chef dribbling the chicken like a basketball is hilarious madness!" XD
For Kermit, this certainly was true. Jim was a very private and retiring man. Kermit was the face he preferred to show the world - to speak his words and play his roles in front of the audience.
After watching that documentary the Defunct TV did about Jim Henson, then doing some research, and then watching this...I realize that most of the people that were behind the scenes in this video have passed away.
@@Whatsuppbuddies Wdym “duh”, plenty of these people are still alive too. The Muppets aren’t old enough that everyone who was working with them would’ve crumbled into dust by now.
The Muppits show was one of the funniest show on TV in the 1970's. Even the guests got into the fun. There satires of Star Trek ('Swine Trek) were spot on.
True actors stay in character even when they mess up and part of being a puppeteer is being a good actor along with operating a fleece puppet with rods
I never really took time to appreciate the way these puppets were made to be so life like. I mean, you think that it would be easy cause they are not on strings. Then you got to remember both arms move and they puppeteers need to do most their skits half blind from where they are hiding
My favorite is when muppets that require more than one puppeteer have a blooper and BOTH OF THE PUPPETEERS put the embarrassment into character. Like Rolf for example
The chicken saying "Jesus Christ" killed me

Funniest thing to me is just imagining Jim Henson continuing to do the Swedish Chef voice even as he continually misses.
Fun fact: that isn’t Jim playing the Chef’s hands, they’re Frank Oz’s!
How Jim actually stayed in character and didn’t break down laughing as Frank continually missed the basket never ceases to amaze me
Our brains know they're puppets, but in our hearts we know that each Muppet is REAL. Another aspect of a person's soul manifested in fuzzy reality.

The Swedish Chef always knows the right thing to say in Swedish. Gordon Ramsay has been real quiet since the Swedish Chef started throwing his utensils and making the finest Michelin-starred meals
Can anyone from Sweden actually understand the Swedish chef when he speaks real Swedish or his mock Swedish.
The Swedish chef took two puppeteers, one for the mouth and one for the hands. Henson and Oz always tried to knock the pots off the back wall when they threw the utensils at the start of the sketch.
As a swedish person, the swedish chef is the best.
Love when the chicken swears. I actually expected to hear a blooper of the Swedish Chef saying something in pure English through Jim Henson's voice.
This just makes you realize how much improve these puppeteers actually do on the sets of these kids movies and shows. It's hilarious.
The Muppet Show was never intended to be a kid's show; that's what Sesame Street was for.

You know these are good outtakes when you don't know where the screw up happened.

This confirms my theory that muppet performers actually become the characters they are controlling.

I've got to assume this kind of thing was part of the inspiration for the "bloopers and out-takes" of certain Pixar movies.
