A lot of people from older generations comment on how you don't need to be crass or dirty to be funny and the key is knowing how to be a wiseass with timing. I think they may have a point
Stantler: "Of course, that's why we always complain how pointless the show is". Waldorf: "Not entirely pointless, it makes us look better by comparison" Both: "Dohohohohohohoho"
Statler: "South Dakota!" Waldorf: "That's got nothin' to do with this show!" Statler: "That's what I want! Nothin' to do with this show!" Both: "Haw-haw-haw-haw-haw-haw!"
Stalter:hey this guy thinks his act of saying the number of dislikes will will make them stop Walter:what kind of act Is that? Stalter: An act of mercy! Both:DOHOHOHO
My dad saw this show for the first time and asked me why I was wasting time watching a kiddie show. I said "just watch it for a while". Within five minutes he was laughing his head off. The humor was sophisticated enough for adults , while kids loved the puppets.
(Miss Piggy leaves the Muppet house) Statler: Say, is breakfast over? Waldorf: I don't know, why? Statler: Because I think the bacon just ran out! DOHOHOHOHOHOHO
Waldorf: Y'know it's too bad gonzo's leaving this show. Statler: Yeah? I can think of some other people I'd rather see leave the show. Waldorf: Who? Statler: Me! Both: DOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!
Worse...They perished a century ago. Neither Heaven nor Hell could handle their endless heckling, they were blessed with immortality & humanity is cursed with them till the End of Days.
Waldorf: You know, I think Nicki Minaj should change her name to Nicki Mirage. Statler: Why's that? Waldorf: Because then if we look at her, she'd disappear. Both: DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!
Waldorf: What are Lady Gaga's parents' names? Statler: Lady Ma ma & Lady Da da. Waldorf: I didn't know Lady Gaga's Dad is a Lady. Statler : her dad is a drag queen. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Statler: Hey, Waldorf. I was wondering if maybe you'd... (mouthing words) Waldorf: Darn! I gotta get some new batteries for my hearing aid. Statler: Ha ha ha! I fool him everytime! Ha ha ha! Waldorf: **slap**
Statler: Bernie Sanders, now that's a name I remember from elementary school. He was older than me even then. Waldorf: Why, was he in a higher grade than you? Statler: No, he was our teacher. Both: Doho hohoho hoho!
uncletaylorify Bernie Sanders lacks the intellect these two have. 1 brain cell from either of those two equals to all that Bernie Sanders has in his head. The rest is the Muppet Show. Statler and Waldorf: DOHOHOHOHO!
Now this is clean comedy that is appropriate for all ages, crosses cultural boundaries and takes a very long time to get old. It's a shame that comedy like this is no longer being produced on the main stream.
It's been decades since I've seen it but my favorite S&W moment was when Gonzo did one of his stunts that propelled him and a motorcycle(?) straight into the balcony box they were sitting in. The wreckage and their eyes wide open in shock were hilarious!

Waldorf (white haired) voice was like the elderly version of Ernie, Rowlf The Dog and Kermit The Frog. Waldorf, Ernie, Rowlf and Kermit were originally voiced by the late Jim Henson.
