Me the resident mixed race person of color: *laughing at all of these* honestly people need to chill out. Comedy is an art form and should not be policed.

It was nice to see Statler and Waldorf contribute.

An entire episode's worth of moments from episodes that feature the Disney+ disclaimer.

i still think is funny (and a little stupid) that an entire episode gets a disclaimer for the "indian love call" segment that doesn't last 10 seconds

Is nobody gonna mention that Fozzie roasted Statler and Waldorf for taking his spot as the bad comedian and vice versa

That dancing cheese would probably be the best character on the show, better than both the salami and the bologna combined

We used to have more freedom back in the Muppet Show days.

This is great, brings back some memories. I remember watching the Muppet Show in syndicate all the time in my youth because I was too young in the 70s to remember much of when it was first run. Still, what a brilliant show it was.

Family Guy and South Park today get away with much, MUCH worse.

As a Hispanic, I kinda find these funny.

I mean the Fozzie dressing up as a girl is actually funny ngl

Surprised they didn't complain about the Lobster Banditos

appreciate your work!!!

8:27 Oklahoma in Yokohama!

Removing the Chris Langham episode? That's respectable! Removing episodes because of music licenses? That's fair. Removing practically Statler and Waldorf's Spotlight? No thank you!

0:50 - Translated *"Insidious amphibian!" "This will be the last time I'll be working on show business with you!"*

Its always humans performing for a muppet audience.

But it WOULD be weird for Gonzo to dance with a male cheese! I mean seriously though.

19:57 - i know the context and content, But i genuiely Love this song

I miss it when the entertainment industry wasn't corrupted with whiny little kids that would get offended by stuff isn't even meant to be offensive. It's hard to not cancelled or slapped in the fact for even just saying a swear word, everything is so politically correct now it's super painful and I hate the fact it gets worse all the time. This is the type of stuff I grew up with as a child, even the "offensive" stuff would leave me rolling in tears. God forbid if George Carlin lived long enough to experience this for himself, he wouldn't stand for it at all.

The only episode I can respectfully understand them pulling or censoring in any way is Chris Langham

I think Gonzo's depiction of Spanish is far more offensive than him not wanting to dance with male cheese.

Gonzo won't dance with a male cheese but he seemed to be attracted to Big Bird when *he* was a guest on the show. But then again, Big Bird is supposed to be only six years old, and that's just ew.

Love this!

I also don't see problem with fozzie in drag considering he is doing his mother could see him perform in any capacity. Which fails because his mother has been asleep for God knows how long.

Seriously, they're flagging fat jokes? That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life! People need to learn to take a joke. And this is coming from a guy who is himself rather fat.

Why would people complain about Mad Dogs and Englishmen? I thought it was a pretty good song.

“The gang gets racist”

Politically incorrect or not, that burlesque number was old school fire!

You forgot the gypsy sketch from the James Coco episode and "Swanee" from the Crystal Gayle episode.

:D :D Oklahoma has turned into Yokohama!

Muppets based moments

Anyone triggered by any of this is too hypersensitive.

Long live political incorrectness!

24:57 Best Part Yet

Is that Peter Sellers as the Gypsy

19:58 Dogs wearing pith helmets.

Nothing un-p.c. here, All funny stuff.

9:45 Funny as Hell

Kermit guessed right minute and half number changed

As a reminder: if felt puppets making harmless jokes offend you in any way, there is something wrong with you.

I think there’s a Rolf joke missing.

piggy getting a little bulgy, kermit will be a flat frog ( by her chop)

The best part about being politically incorrect is that you can actually enjoy things

I think the whole thing with Rudolph Nehru

Eh, politically incorrect, but still funny and silly.

Y'know for famillies.

Funny

I think we need to recognize that there is comedy, and then there's meanness (racism, xenophobia, misogyny, etc). Sometimes comedy is funny, and even people who are a part of the group that is being satirized laugh at it. But, then there are other times when the attempt at comedy goes too far with harmful stereotypes, and it hurts the group being portrayed in the comedy. What's funny is subjective to each individual, unless it's meant to be mean & harmful to a particular group. Some things are downright funny & sometimes things are downright mean & racist. It comes down to a mix of intent of the production, and how much the target of the comedy can accept. I think we can probably agree that Jim Henson Productions & The Muppet Show had no malicious intent against any particular group of people, & the results of their skills, creativity, & writing were then & continue to be funny. But, if at any time they crossed a line, then the target of their comedy has every right to complain. Try to laugh as much as possible everyday. It's good for you.

What happens if the muppets had actual child actors for guest stars?

When are you going to get back to work on the compilations? I really want a Muppet Labs compilation!

This program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together.

I kinda get the political issues with these clips, but the dancing cheese clip, I don't get how its bad

Holy fuck this was hilarious.

Anyone offended by these needs to be locked in a madhouse.

I'm so politically incorrect I laughed the whole way through. Peter Sellers skit has a real goat in the background. With the Gonzo sketch I guess the cheese was gouda enough. (Sorry!) The James Coburn skit was Top Ramen.

Humor is neither right nor left, and very little is truly off limits. When people start remembering that and not caring about shitter shattered dickweed assholes who want to shout WAH OFFENSIVE, the humor and entertainment industry will recover.

Disney+ has this warning disclaimer saying “This Program includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or culture”.

... Wow people really take offense to this? People need to get lives. Pretty soon we won't be able to joke about anything, and I'm saying this as a person who is as liberal as they come.

based

Hilarious. Screw Disney.

See definition of Humor or Humour. That explains comedy, so stop being a hypocrite and laugh a little as nobody is perfect. You're telling me you've never laughed at a joke that pokes fun at others, however when the comedian or show in this case hits many races/cultures, it is acceptable as the topic of laughter because of the 'poking' diversity given to all in the audience? HUMAN HYPOCRISY!

25:24 they look like podlings mixed with the grudge!
