As someone who grew up watching PBS Kids and shows like Sesame Street and who really loves Kermit as a character, that channel is deeply disturbing to me. It's so weirdly inappropriate, if I saw anyone I knew watching his videos I'd lose it. It's really disgusting to me, that channel needs to be straight up terminated. Versus why I love your videos, that go into actual Kermit stories and history. He's a really interesting character to me and I was curious when I saw this title video of yours. I was under the impression that people on the internet viewed Kermit was a somewhat chaotic but overall wholesome character, I didn't even know these disturbing types of video exists (Minus the Never Gonna Give You Up one, that one is just misleading, like you said.) It's pretty sad, and terribly dishonoring to Jim Henson. I wonder what we could do to try and reverse the damage that's already been done to this younger generation. Getting legal forces backed up by Disney involved seems like a good step, but I don't know what else.

KZfaq: Takes down a video with 5 seconds of copyrighted music KZfaq: ignores dangerous hack channels, malicious content, and offensive clickbait aimed at children

It's interesting to note that Disney doesn't seem to make much of an effort to stop any of these Kermit parodies, because that's how little they care about the Muppets property. And they're normally super litigious when it comes to their properties.

Imo whomever is doing your Kermit's voice has a better voice than the new official Kermit.

The irony of calling yourself Cereal; that breakfast food that's known to devolve into mush over a short period of time.

Lesson that everyone should abide by, Do not let the internet raise your children.

This guy acts so different with Kermit around kids than he is in his house, even if he doesn’t know that a lot of his demographic is full of young kids.

Admittedly I don't agree with everything Disney has done with the Muppets, but I think that Disney should strike all offending KZfaq channels for copyright and sue the posters. Kermit deserves as much respect as the other Disney characters. It's a shame Desney doesn't seem to see that.

Absolutely adored AreUSuperCereal and their whole little niche. I personally really enjoy these parodies of Kermit but what has irked me is that like always with parody channels, they devolve into targetting children. This doesn't just affect the childrens' perception of the character in question but also lowers the quality and fun of the videos. It's the same thing that happened with SuperMarioLogan.

Tbh Most of the Kermit parodies have better Kermit impressions than who's officially voicing him right now

I remember seeing a video of Jim during an interview saying how important it is to put out content that helps the world ( or something along those lines) and to see that channel post harmful content involving Kermit just breaks my heart, I can’t speak for Jim but if I put my love and time into a character for decades and then see someone take that character and post content like that, it would just break my heart. Kermit doesn’t deserve this and neither does Jim Henson :/

Wow. This video was spot on. Kermit was undoubtedly my favorite Muppet growing up because of his honest and pure character, and to think that kids these days are experiencing him in this parodical style is heartbreaking. After watching Muppets Haunted Mansion and seeing Kermit’s somewhat limited role, it’s further clear to me that Disney is really making no effort to fix this. I really hope some restoration of Kermit’s characters will be made soon, but only time will tell. Thanks for making great Kermit and Muppets content my friend - it’s always great to see someone who still cares about them so passionately! Blessings✌🏻

I actually asked Are U Super Cereal on a stream about what he thinks about Jim Henson, and he said that he loves Jim Henson and that he wouldn't be making the videos that he is doing if Jim never did what he did. I don't think he's a Muppet fan though (or at least doesn't know everything about the Muppets), as in one of his videos he didn't know who Robin was and says that he doesn't keep up with the Muppets, before people corrected him in the comments telling him who Robin is. He actually seems like a nice guy on his streams and he does care about his fans. I think he just makes videos for fun, he probably doesn't mean for videos to harm kids or anything. Cereal knows he didn't create Kermit and he has said it before.

I can imagine Kermit with a team of Muppet lawyers modeled after Johnny Depp's legal team from the live stream about six months ago.

I’m a member of Gen Z and I’ve been thinking this exact same notion for years! I feel like these interpretations are just a terrible corruption of a character that I need to remind you, a *person made.* Jim created Kermit, and this is what they’ve done to Mr. Henson’s legacy. I feel sorry for Jim. The character he made as a puppet you could share a laugh with, now only known for trash on the internet. Is there more we could’ve said? Because now they’re only pictures in our heads.

If he really wants a character, he should make one that he owns.

This video was sad to watch. I feel so sorry for the new generation of kids who will grow up thinking that this is really what Kermit is😔

It is even more sad to know, that this kind of thing is happening with many more important characters all the time.

Saw your post on r/puppetry, I must say whoever voiced and puppeteered your Kermit did a better job than any of the clips you’ve shown. Also one thing that shocks me is that when Happy Time Murders came out Sesame Workshop tried to sue and whilst Kermit is owned by Disney they haven’t even touched this.

you talk about how jim henson is family friendly WHEN THE MUPPET SHOW WAS ORIGINALLY FOR ADULTS AND HAD ADULT JOKES.

A great video as usual! I think there’s a case to be made with plenty of copyrighted characters which have been used in videos like this as well, but Kermit is the most daunting considering the long history of the character and how it’s been incredibly skewed. Luckily there’s a sizable amount of young muppet fans these days who actually have a genuine love and appreciation for Jim Henson and his works.

Guy says "I always have trouble sleeping..." I was wonder if how he gets to sleep at night, being an obnoxious narcissist.

I think Disney should send these guys a cease and dissist letter for using Kermit inappropriately just like how Nintendo did with SML. This needs to stop.

Ok I’m so glad this is being called put nowadays

Basically just SML but with Kermit the frog By the way, can I just say that I always hated Matt Vogel's Kermit, but his rainbow connection just makes me cringe

Kermit is honestly one of the greatest characters ever created In my opinion, I have many plushies of him and A Kermit Pillow. I grew up watching movies like muppets from space, Kermits swamp years and the new movies and that’s the only Kermit I know

Seeing something that we remember as children. Something that was so good and pure that taught us what it meant to be good and kind people; gets desicrated and abused. It just rips away at your heart.

I am so glad I was able to do a collab with you! I had such a fun time working with you! I have always been trying to spread awareness of these fake TikTok's Vine's and KZfaq videos where these people think they can just use my face and name to get clout and change my life just cause they think I am nothing but a Puppet. Things need to start changing around here and we need to stand up and fight like the Green Frogs we are!

the fact this is what kids are growing up with nowadays is depressing

As a kid who grew up along side Sesame Street and The Muppet Show Reairing on Disney Channel in 2006 I strongly agree It breaks me to know that this is how some people see The Muppets Swearing, violent and vulgar content When in reality they're singing, happy, cartooney playful puppets It's sad to know you can find official Muppet stuff on other channels rather than Disney owned channels One day when I become a parent I'll show my kids the real official stuff

As a clueless brit, the only defense he has is "parodies are protected by U.S. law" which is shaky ground to stand on. I feel like if this were Mickey Mouse Disney would gun this down hard, no-one messes with THE FACE OF DISNEY, but the Muppets and Kermit they don't really care for, seeing them as just another franchise. When you have the actual Henson family referring to Kermit as just a role that's played... you know something's gone seriously wrong. Go and watch Kermit on the Tonight Show back in '75, notice how he's more than a mere puppet... how he remains active and present even when NOT TALKING, notice all the little quirks Kermit has that make him human... well as human a frog can be.

So, funny enough, I was actually featured in one of Dai Trickster’s videos about five years ago. This was without my knowledge until the video was uploaded by the way, and I was not consulted beforehand, probably because at the time I was a minor. Since then, I slowly started making work in film, theatre, and television. I also started looking into and rather finding myself enjoying the history of Jim Henson and The Muppets. I had always appreciated Kermit and his friends, but more so as I grew into my young adulthood, did I appreciate the love and craft that goes into the storytelling and the meaning behind why The Muppets exist, and why they are still so relevant even today. Seeing this video caused me to reflect that change and I consider myself lucky that, even when I used to watch that kind of “parodic” content, I always had the groundwork of the original films and show and love and craft to help me recognize that it’s all for milking that revenue cow KZfaq has so viciously created (and seems to turn the blind eye towards content creators like them). I worry like yourself kids won’t see what’s original and what’s pure intention today, as most adults and parents take the easy out of, like you said, shoving phones in children’s faces, so I appreciate this video and this channels existence because of it, as well as everyone who still appreciates the craft of The Muppets today. Keep up the great work, and thank you for making this, I’m glad to know people recognize how morally wrong this kind of exploitation is at the end of the day.

This guy is lucky to have a proffesional kermit puppet

I seriously have no idea why I used to like watching that channel when I was 11

My mother has this big book - The Muppet Show Book from 1978, specifically. It helped get me interested in The Muppet Show and Jim Henson's work in general (like the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film as well as The Dark Crystal). It's so weird seeing people just distort Kermit and, for all intents and purposes, Jim Henson's legacy like that, something I've grown up with knowing intimately.

thanks for making this video, I'm tired of all these inappropriate Kermit videos

That's a really great Kermit Puppet! Nice puppeteering as well! Loving your videos, have a blessed weekend!

I swear your channel gets better every video. Might be my favourite one yet, really interesting to see the way these frankly awful parodies affect the characters image

I never thought about how these cheap imitation channels could affect the public perception of a character, especially one so underused like Kermit. I'm sure there's kids who got their first exposure to Spider-Man, Mickey Mouse, SpongeBob, and many other characters through videos like AreUSuperCereal's. In the past I always thought the channels were annoying but ultimately not worth thinking about, but this video made me realize how much of an issue they really are.

This video broke my heart. But I think it needed to do just that to realize whats really going on in this world. I expected this video to touch on how the beloved character of Kermits personality has been treated as a joke both by Disney and the internet, and you did that but you also touched on something even more pressing. This being the damage to our children as a society and the trash we're allowing them to be fed. As this is not just happening to kermit, but to almost every single popular beloved character such as the mickey puppet videos, the weird spider-man/elsa videos, or even Chuck E. Cheese which is now known only as the inspiration for Five Nights at Freddys to this current generation. Well written stories and characters used to be something we cherished as a society, but with the easy accessibility of the internet, we've allowed ourselves and our children to submit to lazy, cheap and vulgar entertainment and to never question it. We NEED to do better and I thank you for being one of the few to bring this subject to light. God Bless.

I think Steve Whitmire has to be hired again

This is exactly what I’ve been thinking forever

I totally agree with you here. It's totally unacceptable that Kermit should be used in this way. I did a couple of videos on KZfaq featuring my Kermit, but mine were simply using my puppet miming to one of Kermit's songs. Yes copyrighted material, but all in the name of a tribute to the proper Kermit and Jim Henson ( believe you used one of my videos in one of yours). None of mine are used for personal gain. I just make them as a tribute to an amazing character and man

I really love the musical components of your videos. You've got great compositions playing in the background!

I hope one day we can find the rainbow connection

I loved your original two Muppet videos about Kermit and then for some reason I never saw one of your videos recommended again and then today this one showed up and I’m glad it did because obviously subscriptions. Don’t mean anything anymore with the way the algorithm is now. I had no idea that this culture existed! This is so sad! Thank you for helping bring this to more people’s attention and hopefully putting a stop to it!

thanks for the vid, and for doing it in a level headed, informative way.

I just learned of your channel and after watching this video immediately subscribed. This was a really insightful video and I didn't realize how much damage these channels were doing. They really are rotting away a legacy that Henson built with his heart and soul. I am shocked Disney has not put a stop to this as they are usually quite protective of the licenses they hold. I watched one of Cereal's videos and couldn't even get through a minute before turning it off. It was so sophomoric and utterly pathetic. I grew up with the original Muppets through the 80s and 90s, but to see someone like this guy cash in on a beloved character with such insipid content is depressing and embarrassing. Hopefully viewers get tired of this dude's mind-numbing drivel and stop watching it. Although, I think you're right, unfortunately. The damage has already been done to the Muppet brand.

I remember when I first discovered R U Super Cereal, I thought it was funny, but after some time, I stopped watching due to the repetition of his Kermit videos. His older content wasn’t as bad but after some time, it’s clear the channel creator lost ideas for his videos, so he just jumped on random trends, while just putting Kermit in the video to get views from children

One of the most underrated videos on your channel.

When I was just a young plush boy, I used to like are u super cereal, (of course not anymore) but watching this was beautiful, I’m happy someone cares so much about Kermit as much as I do

this is such an unfortunate situation, thanks for making this video it was extremely well made, deserves more views

The Muppets shaped my childhood and taught me that characters' "Character" is the main thing that shapes them and that they're more than a role played by an actor... Only thing that comes remotely close is the Looney Tunes.

This dudes acting so disturbed like he just witnessed a murder

seriously excellent video thank you!

The Jim Henson company has done such a good job blurring the lines between fantasy and reality when it comes to these characters that this honestly feels less like copyright and more like a form of Identity theft. The way these people go around spouting that its "the real kermit" seems so scummy and disingenuous. Society has agreed to believe these are real celebrities since the 80s so behaving in this way is worse with Muppet characters than with other impressions.

I respect this channel

Just watched this after your comment on that other video. Absolutely agree with everything said here 100%. There's room in the world for parody but when people like this just milk those parodies 24/7 and are exploiting the attention spans of young children for money and views can it really be called a simple parody anymore? Sincerely hope none of their videos are marked "for kids" (Though it's not like kids can't easily circumvent those protective features anyway)

That’s very sad to hear such an Iconic character is being viewed so poorly on YT. Poor Jim Henson, he’d probably be turning in his grave if he found out what was going on. Why are people so disrespectful of old and classic tv shows these days?

I grew up in the transition point, in my early childhood, it was the muppet show, sesame street, etc. I was in love with the muppets, and Kermit was my hero. But I eventually became a victim of the easy influence of the current children. However, I've come back to my old values, and you are like the voice of what I'm thinking.

Not the same but the situation does remind me a little bit of how Mickey was often depicted in 2000s parodies. Disney had tried to keep his character SO safe in the 80s and 90s he became completely generic. The kids who grew up with those depictions of Mickey didn't see him as his own character anymore, he was purely a mascot for Disney, no personality, just the face of a company to use to make fun or criticize said company.

Bro gave one of the strongest speeches at the end

Can't wait for you to be posting regularly now

Can you send me links of all the songs you used I can’t even find them and it would be a big help

DISNEY HASN'T GONE FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A JOKE

When I went to the comment section on one of his videos, most said things like "You're a great and funny KZfaqr!" or "Congrats on hitting 2 Million!" or "I started watching you in 2016; amazing to see how far you grew; your videos made me happy every day watching them;Thank you for all the entertainment you’ve provided over all of these years." And if I'm gonna be honest, I feel kinda bad for those fans. If only they knew what their favourite KZfaqr's true intentions were. 😢

These videos must be the alternate reality where Krassman successfully turned Kermit's brain into guacamole.

I remember first discovering kermit while watching the muppets a Christmas carol and I've cherished him since as a character and it disgusts me to see these overgrown teenagers tear him apart for cash.

how are you going to get mad at someone doing a fan parody of kermit singing never gonna give you up and saying "Oh no that's a bad influence"

:( I'm so sad seeing Kermit being portrayed like this

Are U Super Cereal has to be one of my favorite channels but I can DEFINITELY see where your coming from. I would hate to grow up/ have kids grow up by a fake Kermit The Frog, Elmo etc. The Muppets and especially Sesame Street were (and still are) a huge apart of who I am.

you really think this channel only has made kids depressed if anything it made them laugh because it made me laugh when I was ten

yare yare daze love your videos man

Even Though i Watched some of Are U Super Cereal's Video and There Funny at times and Accept those as Just Parodies, i do Agree on Kids being easily Tricked on YT Channels and it just Proves that Kids Should not Be on KZfaq unless it's an Official Channel of a Preschool Show you Watch on TV.

This is on Disney too! If Disney doesn't make consistent Kermit content, then people on the KZfaq are going to fill that gap. This is what happens when Disney refuses to put out Kermit KZfaq content on a regular basis.

AreUsupercereal is one of my favorite channels. It’s just a group of friends having fun with some puppets. They made my childhood and they aren’t trying to be serious.

Disney can you do something good for once’s and remove this garbage

An underrated video!

amazing kermit puppet and impression

You’re the best some boi online

Don't get me wrong I do think the videos are entertaining, but the original draw of these videos was the shock of this calm character doing uncharacteristic and insane things but after the original character had basically been erased the shock is no longer there and it's just kinda sad.

I’m Really mad about this this is ruining Kermit

damn you deserve more subscribers

Where did you get your Kermit puppet it’s very accurate

Damm I love this Chanel

Just let him do what he does

if Jim Henson was alive he will not like it when Disney did that to Kermit The Frog

I like how kermit is just in the background just chilling

We will fight for the real Kermit the Frog let's do it for Jim Henson and let's bring about the Muppets

I used to watch Super cereal back when they were well, actually good. and back then i knew that Kermit was a character and personally i knew that all of the meme parody versions of characters are somewhat of different variations on the same character, one official one not

No reason to adopt any new Muppet content. Jim Henson left us with enough to enjoy

Great video. I love the Muppets (real ones) and Kermit the Frog. Huge part of my childhood, and I'm not even from the U.S.A. (I'm italian). Me and my girlfriend are re-watching all the old movies 'cause she never got to see them before, and it's such a joy to see her falling in love with the wacky, heart-warming atmosphere of these masterpiece, one we can't see anymore in modern media, which seem to be obsessed with pessimism and nihilism and barely bear any significant value to them. I 100% agree with your comments about the dangers of having children being given smartphones from their parents. It makes me really worried, as a young adult. And I'm completely disgusted by money-grabbing scumbags like the supercereal guy, that's as sad as Disney not stepping forward to protect a franchise they own. At this point it's not even nostalgia anymore. Things really did get worse in modern times. Thanks for your beautiful and touching video on this issue, I feel like it's not discussed enough.

Why is everybody acting like this is the end of the world. THEY AREN'T MAKING FUN OF THE CHARACTERS THEY ARE JUST JOKING AROUND AND HAVING A GOOD TIME.

Very well said!!

Bad ending: Kermit has to shutdown the muppets because of tik toks and youtube

Sad how Kermit is ending up like shrek being a less serious character and more of a meme/parody

LET'S GOOOO!, Finally, You've Returned! And Luckily, This Video Was Fantastic, But After Viewing It, It's Made Me Really Thank That I Was Born In 2008, Since That Means I Was Born Early Enough That I Watched Proper Stuff As A Baby / Toddler, Infact, I Didn't Start Really Watching KZfaq Until I Was 6 Or 7, Where I Watched Far Safer Channels (Mainly DanTDM), Mind You However, 6 Or 7 May Still Sound Young, But In Retrospect, The People Watching Whatever Rubbish Content Are U Super Cereal Makes Are Far Younger Than That, To Be Point Where Channels Like His Or Cocomelon Is Now The New Disney Or What Not, So Much Infact That Cocomelon Has More Subscribers Than PewDiePie, Anyways, Thanks For Posting After Nearly 2 Months, And I Hope You Have More Great Content In The Future To Entertain Us All.

The issue here is the courts decided that this type of copyright infringement is okay. And this was in 1997, long before Super Cereal was even born. In 1997, Barney sued the san diego chicken for using his likeness. Barney claimed that kids didn't know the difference between the fake Barney, and the real Barney. But the judge (who probably just hated Barney) ruled it was okay for the chicken to continue using his likeness.

At this moment I would like to compare Are U Super Cereal to another channel similar to using kids characters or should I say channels. The channels I’m talking about are Tails and Sonic Pals, Gotta Go Fast, Emerald Masters, and Charmy Bee. These channels are not officially tied with Sega but they know their audience there is no swearing, drug material, or anything like that since they know the characters are meant more for a younger audience and try to keep them similar to their game counterparts. They also make sure to say they are not official Sonic channels in the channel description, video description, and out of character posts, and also showing the cast members of each channel in the channel description, and video description they have grown a good sized fanbase who know they aren’t the real characters but still enjoy it as they make many peoples dreams of interacting with these characters.

he is just showing how his fans helped him along the way to get to where he is now
