New Muppet Vid: Bohemian Rhapsody

by Chris Hardwick on November 24, 2009

FIRST!

My awesome pal Jason Bierfield (who was an editor on this project) sent me the link to this brand new Muppet vid. It involves 70 friggin Muppets and RULES in a really hard way.

It makes me very happy to see these guys screwing around again instead of just doing commercial work. Head over to The Muppet Studio on YouTube for oodles of good-time Muppet tomfoolery.

If you’re having a bummer day so far, this should lift you into a cheer cloud.

Me likey.

Oh so awesome. And while there’s no speaking role for Rowlf there’s no one else who could play the piano.

Brian Moseley November 24, 2009 at 8:49 am

i think the Swedish chef should have his own show.

PG November 24, 2009 at 8:57 am

OMG love it. They need to bring the Muppet Show back.

I got the chills when Dr. Teeth came in at 3:00 doing his rock n’ roll thang.

The Muppets didn’t work so well when irony was all the rage. Thank god for New Sincerity.

I srsly forgot how many muppets there were outside of the crew that was on muppet babies.

Nielle Mccammon November 24, 2009 at 9:29 am

For a second there, I was like “Where the frak is Kermit!” Fantastic stuff.

Mary November 24, 2009 at 11:15 am

Doooooooooood. I cannot put into words how happy this makes me. True story!! Thank you for posting!
I have been on a one-person campaign to try to get #bringbackthemuppets a trending topic lol. (ask @colestratton)
My dearest wish is that they successfully remake the Muppet Show!! Best. Show. Ever. I’m ushering in two new Muppet-lovers, what could be better?
John Henson still has the rights, right? Let’s do this thang! Mupp-ow!

Spaghetti Jesus November 24, 2009 at 11:53 am

Thank you Mama, I mean Chris.

David Dadekian November 24, 2009 at 12:24 pm

Seriously, I can’t begin to thank you, or your friend Jason, for this. Wow.

PJ November 24, 2009 at 1:26 pm

This video made me break my ass laughing. It really is a tonic for what has been a dreary wet shite of a day.

christine November 24, 2009 at 1:46 pm

Is it me or did Miss Piggy put on a few layers of bacon?

Bec November 24, 2009 at 2:10 pm

Yep. I’m in the cheer cloud. That was so wonderful!

Doll November 24, 2009 at 3:26 pm

MC.Jesus November 25, 2009 at 2:58 am

Am I the only one that thought they butchered it? I found the concept amusing, but they killed the song imo.

Deltus November 25, 2009 at 6:53 am

The Muppet Show was some of the best tv ever made. This is genius.

rich November 25, 2009 at 10:17 am

If you’re worried about maintaining the fidelity of the original piece, you’re probably missing the point.

John Nes November 25, 2009 at 6:59 pm

I love the way they got through the part in the beginning by just repeating MOMMA … rather than the real verse … Nice job I was wondering how they were going to get through that …

Dan Donehey November 25, 2009 at 7:57 pm

Such a delightful compendium of Muppet-Madness! Love it completely. Brings back memories of mayhem that soothes the soul and satisfies the yearning for off-beat bliss. Yesssss!

alysha November 26, 2009 at 3:04 pm

MAGNIFICO!!!

EasyLSP November 27, 2009 at 12:22 pm

Mamma!

MidLifeMama November 28, 2009 at 3:05 pm

Thank you for this. My son, who is 3, and I sat and watched all of the available clips. FYI we have also just begun watching Back to the Barnyard, and Cooper is infatuated. He asks for it by name. Thank Shazam for On Demand.

jasonscottjones November 28, 2009 at 10:09 pm

oh my.. this reminds me of a Bohemian Rhapsody video I saw (with puppets) back in 2002 while I was living in Japan. (were the Japanese finally copied first?) I found it on youtube, enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFT6CX-O0mY

mPony November 30, 2009 at 8:24 am

My buddy and I were trying to figure out how the Muppets would sing the line “…just killed a man.. put a gun against his head.. (etc)” Oh, NOW I see :)

No wonder this thing got 5-million views in such a hurry.

Chris Ronk December 1, 2009 at 6:16 pm

This is truly awesome. I really needed that.

ARJWright December 4, 2009 at 10:51 pm

Absoutely, the funnest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Jim Henson would be very proud. I love it.

Melissa February 5, 2010 at 11:16 am

That was super fantastico! And made my fairly good day ever so much more exciting.

Thanks for sharing… and stumble upon for leading me here… and me for clicking stumble upon. And the internet. And my computer manufacturer.

ha, web conference.

margaret February 10, 2010 at 4:27 am

I don’t know you, but because you have posted this….I love you!

Rosie February 12, 2010 at 6:32 pm

this is so damn awesome. every time i think that the internet is filling up with garbage and it is beginning to stink, something utterly amazing like this happens. who says having to much time is a bad thing.
