That show makes my skin crawl. But I laugh every time I watch it. It's a disturbing combination....

What's funny is that you KNOW the punch line before a bit even starts, but you are powerless to keep from laughing when they finally deliver it.

The guy in the wheelchair who always changes his mind after his friend has done some pain-in-the-ass chore to make him happy is my favorite. That and the "I'm the only gay in the village" guy...Daffyd? Oh, and the pirate matching game skit.


Back to the muppets, sorry :blush:

did someone say ring, ring?

Lj--from the very bottom of my heart, where the corpse-water laps at the ruptured and bursting septic tank, I thank you for the remembrance of something so very close to my heart.

you cock.

Oh Undertoad, I have a treat for you. Look about a quarter of the way down, number 18. Or do a search on the page for yip yip yip. :)

That's awesome.

My wife and I just sat here and watched the Martians and the telephone. Thanks, BigV...it has been *years* since I saw that! We cracked ass!

It seems my Mrs. and her brother used to do this skit when they were teenagers, so she was particularly impressed with your find.

Saweet! That early item is amazing when you consider they did it with, basically, towels, ping pong balls, and a few pipe cleaners. Put it under the "silliness that changed you" thread...

Happy to oblige, all. It's nice to be able to find a little something to put back into the cellar. :tips cap:

The "Teeny Little Superguy" and "Counting Song" MP3s on that page are fun, too.

Another take on Ring Ring

Time Life has had a 10 DVD set of the muppets out for several years now. It's got all of the best episodes from the show. I'm not sure if it has all of them or not.

I knew my wife was a keeper when I was dating her and saw her movie collection had the same 10 DVD muppet set that I had.

The Muppet Show appeared not long before I did, but it plays a part in some of my fondest early memories. Statler and Waldorf were my heroes.

Did you know they made some Muppet Show action figures a few years back? Hell yeah.

When I was in high school I had a pose-able Gonzo. I loved Gonzo ... especially his attempt to go for the Maynard Ferguson-like high note at the end of the open credits evrey week. I may still have it in a box that I haven't unpacked in 20 or so years.

My Drumline had an Animal stuffed toy strapped to the front of one of our Glockenspiels.

Here's the muppet site. They have trailers and previews for The Muppet Show 1st Season DVD there. Gotta love the blooper clip ^_^

Yaaay! My sister and I used to love the yip yip phone thing.... I already sent it to her - she is going to laugh her ass off!!!
