(Statler and Waldorf see the title)
*Waldorf:* What does he mean, "Best Muppet series in years"?
*Statler:* I don't know, but I'm still waiting for one!
*Both:* Do-hohohohoho!!
Those guys are still around, I thought that they were dead or retired.
@@maxnobles6498 *Waldorf:* We wish!
WALDORF: Statler, you enjoying the show?
STATLER: Yeah, my favourite part is coming up right now.
WALDORF: Statler, those are the credits!
STATLER: I know, that signals the end.
BOTH: Dohohohohoho!
Janice is the most underrated Muppet literally, glad this show is getting her more attention!
Fer sure!
Oh wow like, fer sure!
I say Clifford
@@ozharms lol i can't 😂😂😂😂😂
@@kelleyceccato7025 i cant lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the fact that they actually did something with Lips and gave him a real character. They could've dropped him from the band entirely but they didn't. Instead they put in the work to make him more than just a background character and make him a bona fide member of the band.
I don’t know who lips is, But OK.
@@tazinboor3913 The trumpet player.
@@SogekingFirebirdStar Ok, thank you!
Man, why the hell do people waste their time declaring that they don't know who a character is when they could've googled it in 5 seconds (especially with the context you gave)
I feel like the Mayhem was the right group of muppets to build a new series on. They have foundations and basic things about them, but they have enough room to make their own character and personalities
After 40 years this series was finally Lips time to shine
I really like what they did with Lips. I think the Deep South gibberish speaking works much better for him than the Louis Armstrong impression they wanted to do for him in the original show.
honestly I didn’t hate Nora too much, but I feel like she did suffer from “taking-screen-time-away-from-the-title-characters-to-make-the-show-about-her-itis”. you’d be surprised how common that is in today’s media.
but I guess moog was okay
Thank you for pointing out "THAT" reference. When I saw it, I legit almost fell off my bed and my sister thought I was having a fit cuz I WAS.
What was the reference?
Is this the moment that I’m thinking of where Nora goes to see Penny, and then leaves, and what happens after?
The Mayhem have always been a Muppets staple, but until this show came along I always took them for granted. Now they’ve become some of my favorite Muppets elements period.
The history behind The Muppets is pretty interesting and inspiring to me. Once a bunch of simple characters in small T.V show skits in the 1950's to massive popularity in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Now they are relevant again. :)
The heart in this show was insane. The only piece of Disney muppets I've fully loved. Made Dr Teeth my favourite muppet as well, Disney really hired some good writers and music staff on this one, and the puppeteering felt so genuine. So many guest stars genuinely happy to be around the Muppets actors.
Yeah. I definitely agree that the show would be so much better without Nora and the other humans. I think it would be better if they replaced her with scooter.
Now THAT'S an idea!
Well, the show obviously needs humans in it.
The show does need humans in it because they kind of tie the muppets to the real world
Nora...nora...nora
@@totaldramasurvivor9723 I don’t if they’re side characters. But the don’t need human characters other than the celebrity cameos.
I actually really like Nora’s character. Sure she’s not perfect, but I feel the story does have her quite well she’s charming and she’s given reasons for her actions. Mainly she needs to go to therapy, but I think it’s mainly due to the fact that Lilly Singh is an actually really good actress in real problem with the show is honestly the love triangle they had. It was predictable and annoying and just made one of the characters really unlikable
Plus i personally feel that out of all the muppets side characters i feel like the Electric Mayhem band is the group i see the most of fans wanting a spinoff series too.
The one specific reference he’s talking about was that they canonized the movie Meet The Feebles *shudders*
Even brought in Peter Jackson for it.
@@daelen.cclark who I’m glad to know is looking a lot healthier and happier than he did when he was making The Hobbit
There's no such thing as "canonizing" with the Muppets, they've never had consistent canon. Their backstories and trivia change whenever it's convenient for a gag
I’m looking 👀 forward for part 6 of Animation Lookback: The Muppets
I'm on episode 10. The show is awesome! They did a great job with it. Just the right amount of humor. Good amount of adult humor thrown in here and there and the guest appearances are great. I love the show! Can't wait for a season 2
Now it hit me! The release Muppet Mayhem came in May!
So I appoligize for the pun.
Is this consider to be May-hem?
Good one
Imao - I think It's also a significant time for the muppets
They’ve gone all-out with this.
The Muppets Mayhem is proof The Patrick Star Show could work.
When it comes to spin-offs with quirky people, expand their story, not expand their quirks. Make them and their quirks integrate into the setting while expanding those characters, not the other way around.
Rather than making The Muppets Mayhem 100% jokes, we get to see about the members of the band themselves. And Lips there is proof that no character is too obscure/overshadowed to be expanded.
Also, the fact that the vinyl is real shows how committed Disney and the team are.
The Muppets aren’t just goofiness and mayhem, they’re also filled with heart and virtues.
@@magnetoonproductions9541 agreed. That's why they're long-lasting icons.
The only thing I didn’t care for about the series was Lips’s voice change. I kinda just preferred the original
Who?
The yellow haired trumpet player who always has his eyes closed
@@riffraff7942 you mean Lips? Honestly I think this was an improvement to him. His old voice was good but I like the mumbling thing, it makes him stand out more which he desperately needed. He’s always just been in the background and never really stood out among the other members of the electric mayhem but in this series they gave him a lot of development and made him stand out. Most of his jokes landed and the idea of him figuring out how to create world peace but no one knows what he’s saying is hilarious
@@trashy2309 I can respect that
I'd rather have poor writing for the human characters than The Mayhem them selves because at the the end the human characters are always filler and the ones to keep the narrative flowing.
1:27 I don’t think Rizzo will be coming back anytime soon especially with Steve whitmire being gone
He made a voiceless cameo in Muppets Haunted Mansion but that was it
Which sucks because Lips was played by him too but got recast right away (just didn’t talk again after the 2015 show until this)
@@mrcritical6751there was a rat with one line in Haunted Mansion who sounded really close to Rizzo, had to do a double take. Whoever played that rat should play him
@@harwickbranch it’s a bit confusing there as there is the rat that sounds like Rizzo but then they also had a voiceless rat in a blackjack dealer getup wearing a name tag with Rizzo’s name in it
it very nice to see more history of the Muppets and learn more about it like the one summer where Defuncland history of the Muppets was soo good and your take on the history make it very good
I love The Muppets Mayhem is it probably one of the best Muppet series since The Muppet Show and I hope Muppets Mayhem does get a second season and the start of the Muppetverse cause now I want to see a new Muppet series starring Sweetums and The Muppet Monsters cause honestly it needs to happen 😊
2:38 SAME HERE!!
I always considered Animal to be a major Muppet character, though.
Yeah, all of the Electric Mayhem are really part of the major cast ever since The Muppet Show. People just discount them because they're among the big characters who got put on hiatus for almost 20 years after Henson and Hunt died (along with Scooter, Rowlf, and a handful of others).
That's a problem I've seen a lot online with people only being exposed to the Muppets through Christmas Carol, Tresure Island, and Muppets From Space. They're just seeing a skeleton crew from a weird era of the franchise when it was in a tailspin due to the deaths of 2/5 of their major puppeteers.
@@fishdude2954yeah the only one who was never really a major character was Lips, who was completely gone for 20 years for some reason and was only made a permanent member in the last decade.
Ah yes, my favorite Beatles song, “Love”
All to say I loved watching this series, Honest I had a blast! Binged it over like almost 3 times, One just to know regularly, 2nd time just for fun, and the 3rd just to see the gags, soft moments and even the easter eggs across the series.
All is the say for me this is really what a modern Muppet show should be like, it's been a long time since they were this good, even outside the 2015 series. All is to say I thought the human character were fine as they are, like Nora I would say she was despicable as first but it is understandable of her role and honestly I don't know how else they would've made the series without her or the other human cast. The only one I can say they can live without is Hannah, She was the only character who I think she is just hammy with her acting along with being the role of "The popular sister who care more about her social media status" or JJ being her 'Ex' trying to get back together was completely unnecessary. And if they are going to do that I would ask to take it slow with Moog if they are going for a second season.
Overall I still had a great time along side with the Awesome Soundtrack, amazing backstory of some mayhem cast members I would even hope they get to do backstories with Janice, Lips, and maybe even a little more with Floyd I think he need more after Teeth, still I so excited for more if they do a second season!
Yeah this is a fantastic series. The 2015 series wasn't nearly as bad as people think (while the OOC stuff and cynicism were fixed after new writers came in halfway through, the show was judged too quickly based on the first 3 episodes) but Mayhem really got all the Muppet parts right from the start
Though that makes a lot of sense considering that Bill Barretta came up with the idea - it's always better when people who work within the franchise steer it, rather than just corporate ideas like "let's do The Office but with Muppets" or "let's advertise The Haunted Mansion but with Muppets"
Can you picture that?
Not particularly
This show made lips one of my favourite muppet characters and I didn't even know he existed till I started watching the show
I’m surprised so many people only found out about him with this show, he’s with the band in like half the films
@harwickbranchline2800 yeah but from what I've seen he was almost always in the background and barely had any lines
Finally! Someone’s talking about this!
I loved Muppets Mayhem. The human actors had no chemistry whatsoever.
I was confused by Lips' mumbling, he didn't used to mumble. Then I thought maybe he's like Ozzy Osborne 😋
Steve Whitmire was fired and Peter Linz now plays Lips, so they went in a new direction with the character. He'd done almost nothing in 40+ years except play the trumpet, and was pretty much a blank slate
This show is meant for muppets fans and music fans too. I enjoyed the series so much hoping for a season 2 or a real life tour. The music and the album is great have listening too it sense I finished watching it.
First green flag for me was the fact those primary majorly recognized characters are not present in any way. Not ignored, just not relevant to the series.
I've gotten very tired of seeing the same characters over and over again for all these years. There's enough Fozzie. There's enough Kermit. Give the spotlight to someone else! And they did.
Glad to hear it’s good 👍
There is enough loose threads for a second season so they're hinting at 1 possibly
I will say this, I was not prepared for that Meet the Feebles reference.
RIP Tina Turner😢
Finished this show to quickly I was sad when it ended. Fun watch, wholesome show and the music is fun too. Loved this show and I hope the muppets get more shows in the future
They referenced Meet the Feebles and apparently Meet the Feebles is canon to the Muppet canon
You’re surprised by this addition?
@@trashy2309 yes actually because Feebles and the Muppets are two completely different worlds
One is an R Rated puppet movie directed by Sir Peter Jackson and one the other has more friendlier and lovable characters
Also the Feebles didn't have any real life humans in the movie so yeah
@@lexramstudios1386 again I see zero problem with this addition. Though it does add several lore questions but it’s still a hilarious idea
@@trashy2309 apparently the Muppets were present during the events of the movie and traumatized
There isn't a strict "Muppet canon", everything isn't Avengers. They just do whatever works for a joke and leave it open to be contradicted later, like how Floyd was a conspiracy theorist in the 2015 series when he never was before or after
I've been wondering what ever happened to lady trumpeter
Trumpet Girl? One of her puppeteers named her Dolores, and she last appeared in the 2011 movie
I like Delores and always thought of myself as her
my hippy stoner babies janice and the others are a stoner mood
I always put animal in that main tear of muppets along with Floyd but that may just be me . When I think lower tear muppets I think like Doctor strange pork and Kermit’s kids from the Christmas carol adaption .
ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO! As usual!😎👍
Does it mean we will get more muppet spin off
Overall they did this really well. The newer fans ask "who asked for Dr. Teeth's backstory?" to which I reply "the fans who were sitting in front of their TV's in the 70's and 80's watching the Mayhem on the Muppet Show and other platforms." Some of us have known and loved the Muppets for longer than some of the naysayers have been alive. That is not a stab at the younger fans in general, just those who are missing the point of several things. One of the major blunders that Disney has made with the Muppets (other than Kermit's voice actor), is that most of the characters personalities are... off. They aren't Henson gags, they are Disney "jokes". This show captures the band perfectly. Animal has always been "going soft" as some complain, but the original Animal was too lady crazy and aggressive for today's audience, fer surrre. Teeth was based on Dr. John so it makes sense that his mama is a boisterous Louisiana Cajun queen. His dad cracked me up. Great show.
The Muppets electric mayhem season 2 you'll be hoping yep🚌
This show was so good!
I hope to see this real soon!
Well lump me in the weirdos... the only thing close to my excitement for Muppets Mayhem is X-Men 97
This show was like, totally epic, fer shure.
The best part of the show for me was finding out that Animal was raised by Floyd after being left on his doorstep. Just the way Animal looked up at Floyd with those big eyes like a puppy at an adoption was just so cute and how the band sees him as a collective son was so sweet.
You a awesome hype man just watched the show up to episode 3 and your right it is awesome
There’s a river bottom otter band Easter egg. They hint at having beef with the Nightmare Band.
I hope they make more Muppet shows like this
I’d say animal is a main muppet
It’s up there imo
It’s fine and serviceable but I got sick of it real quickly, I can enjoy it in small dosages like watching one movie or episode at time but I couldn’t binge it
Please make another dreamworks series after you do the Muppet series please!
I was surprised by this show. Felt like Jim was watching over the show.
Have you ever watched "Velma" before? I've never seen the show, but the internet is declaring it as the worst television show of all time.
I love the new show, but one issue i had with it is that i feel like it did a lot of telling not showing. In fraggle rock, dave goelz has said that he and the other puppeteers told the writers not to have the characters say how they felt. The puppeteers would show how the character felt in their performance. This made fraggle rock seems very mature and realistic. Mayhem on the other hand feels like its talking down to it's audience and making things incredibly obvious. I still like the show, i just think that the writing could have been tighter when it came to more emotional scenes.
I personally have to say! The show was pretty darn true to Jim Henson’s original vision!
I saw this and I really enjoyed it
I did enjoy Muppets Mayhem too.
I have an inkling but what is the "IT" that is canon? (I have watched the show I'm just torn between what it could be lol)
Wher was raff the dog
ngl, i loved this series
even the human characters
Love you, man, but look at 'in years'. Muppets Tonight, That Reality Show they tried, and so on... 'Best in years' is not a hard anthill to step over.
But no Clifford
I wouldn't think it would need to be said at this point, but if you are not playing it completely straight like Michael Caine in Muppet Christmas Carol or out-Muppeting the Muppets like Tim Curry in Muppet Treasure Island (and only Tim Curry, ever) any human actor playing a human character is at best a net neutral and at worst going to drag the entire production down. And yes, that includes the special guests on The Muppet Show and Muppets Tonight.
well said
As Kermit said it best, "when people go to see a *Muppet* movie (or show in this case), they say, 'Gee, I can't wait to see the *human*!'"
Otherwise, I really enjoyed this show. Not as perfect as Muppets Haunted Mansion, but still great!
What happened to Clifford can you do him.
Only saw the 1st and that was it for me lol but i am a Muppet fan..but i am kool on the series..
My issue with Nora is not even that she is unlikeable, but that she is such a boring character that takes too much screen time.
Comments!
Help a stranger out and tell me what "IT" is I don't get the joke, and I've seen the whole show. Please Help
its like Daisy jones
I couldn't get it into. The 1st seems good. But i didn't continue to watch it.
❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really wanted to like it, and the Muppets themselves are fantastic as always, but I didn't really like the human cast except for Tahj Mowry and that made it really hard to watch. Some actors can work really well with the Muppets, but I didn't get that with Lilly Singh.
I know for a fact that you'll won't open that album
Spider-Man Across The Spider-Verse reviews very soon
I'm so excited for the movie
Even Lilly Singh couldn't ruin this show.
No you don't have a album lol lord lol
I cant think of the joke you're referencing
Same
hyped for a disney + show,..really?
Pretending that the show being on Disney+ makes it unworthy of hype...really?
This show was conceived by Bill Barretta himself (a lead Muppet performer) and helmed by big Muppet fans, rather than being a generic corporate product. It turned out great because of being made by people who actually know what they're doing, that's why there's so much excitement around it.
@@fishdude2954 WEll excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me princess!
Why are you pronouncing mayhem as "may-ham"? Dude please fix that.
Lilly singh is the weakest part.
I really thought so too
She's why I won't be watching.
Are we referring to "The Feebles" being cannon?
First of all, Statler and Waldorf are at the end of the series and second of all Kermit. The frog is actually shown as a doodle on eight days a week
Swedish chef on a cereal box too
