You really have you have very expressive body language to get this kind of thing to work. They did a great job.

Saw them as a kid, at the University art department where my mom attended classes, the show included the pipes & balls, putty-masks, etc. That was circa 1980 - lemme tell ya, it had a profound impact on me as a kid, and amoung the young theatre, dance, performance art people who were there you could tell there were a lot of minds completely BLOWN. A very very influential group. And I wonder, in this day when Blue Man Group is a house-hold word, I wonder how many people know of Mummenschanz?

I saw this group perform live in the 80's. It was more entertaining that you'd expect.

The emoji movie is looking pretty sweet

All hail the inventors of the emoticon! They make me XD

This isnt creepy, its creative

I love them so much. Saw them when I was younger, maybe ten or fifteen years ago? It was amazing. Another of their touring shows a couple years ago was not so great, but it's awesome to see them in their prime.

For those of you who are to young to remember, before there was video games and so much violence on tv this group was a breath of fresh air. Their shows were seen all over the world. Today we have Circ du Soleil. But we had Mum..living puppets. Their costumes were pure genius. I do hope they are still around. Our children would enjoy it.

It was their performance on the Muppet show. The music was simply added because it was a children's show, and it might have been a little disturbing without music.

I remember seeing this when I got _The Muppet Show_ season 1 on DVD. Utterly blew my mind with how expressive they were.

I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS EPISODE OF THE MUPPET SHOW WHEN I WAS A KID, AND I THINK I EVEN SAW THE MUMMENSCHANZ GROUP PERFORM ON OTHER TV SHOWS, WOW THIS SURE BRINGS BACK MEMORIES.

I love these skits I think they are cute and very clever!!! I'm just glad someone showed them too me!

saw them live at the theater of st. gallen (switzerland) yesterday...so wonderful

This was kinda cute to watch ngl

This is undoubtedly the major sample of ingenuity and creativity that I have seen in my life.

I remember their performance on the David Letterman show. What passion and performance they had. A fork, spoon, and toilet paper face guy. Their troop leader Gunther was kind enough to talk to Letterman about their performance, Amazing !

Wowee. So well thought out. It boggles my mind how they remember all the sequences. Amazing stuff.

I remember watching them on TV. They did the talk show scene and The Ed Sullivan Show also. I loved them. And miss them. Wish they were still performing.

I remember going to see them as a kid in the 80's and really enjoying their show. Are they still around performing? I'd love to catch them again. :D

I remember the original airing of this episode it made an impression

i love this, it’s so creative in visual ways

小学生の頃から知ってたけど、色あせない! 素晴らしい!! ぜひ日本にも来てほしい!!

01:28 this part is the funniest part 🤣

I looked this up just to see if I could get through it. I remember being scared by this as a kid, and it's still freaky now.

This is so creative

I think I grew up in the wrong time needed to understand this

This troupe was my jam back in the 80s! My older sister seriously thought something was wrong with me

I remember seeing this Muppet Show episode back in 1978 & the Mummenschanz really freaked me out a bit.

emoji before emoji.

I've always wanted to either: 1: See the Mummenschanz live 2: Recreate this sketch with my friend.

I love the creativity!

Not Mummenschanz! Don't make me watch this! Geneva Convention! GENEVA CONVENTION!

dis shit tripped me out as a kid more so even the clay faced one

Okay, I don't know if there was a story to the art piece, but this is entertaining to watch

I remember this act and how much I liked it

This is actually hilarious

Beautiful Performance always saw them back in Chicago 70s 80s anyone here saw them in Chicago back them message me please ?

this used to terrify me when i was a kid

My mom used to take me to see them when I was a kid. This was a living art form designed for the imagination. Today's so-called art is static garbage, all unimaginative.

I remember seeing Mummenscnhanz at a civic center back in 1995.

Oh wow!

Great concept

this is funny af

hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahalolololololololollloloolololololololollolololololololololololol i loved it it was awsome i wached it about 12 times

I liked the Black's 😮

This is cute to me c:

i like it. with something so easy as notes doing this. great.

I have an old mummenschanz program.

1:30 Did someone forget to tell them that this is a family show?

so cute and creative.

only question is how does this scares kids if anything as a kid I found it funny!

We don't know about this show but it's super funny and kinda Creepy but I love it ❤

Jajajaja tienen creatividad estos tipos jajajaja.

Los adoro.

Fantastici... 🙂

Wow impressive

"All hail His Grace, Joffrey of Houses Baratheon and Lannister, First of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm."

@gag75 In a weird their music would compliment this so much!

Emociones

Probably the source of half of my childhood nightmares. Thanks 70s!

Love it!!!!!

Genius.

Fucking genius!

Are the bare feet necessary?

THEY DRIVE ME CRAZY!!!!

swiss perfectionists :-))) studied at Lecoq school

What the actual f***! I was brought here by a random Will & Grace episode lol

I like the ratio part

dope!

オシャレ！！

Recorded Live Performance On Comedy Central In 1999.

Well, in this case the black background wouldn't change much. The facial expressions are the most important part. Anyway - a good skit.

WOOOOO SLAYYY 👏👏👏👏👏

GENEVA CONVENTION!!! GENEVA CONVENTION!!!

That's little funny 😃😃😃😃😃

Good art

Is this the only episode of the Muppet Show on which the guest stars did performances without the Muppets? Not to put down their performance, but I always felt that appearing on the Muppet Show and then performing without Muppets kind of missed the point of the show. But maybe that's just me.

Is so weird, but i understand the metaphore

@perfgeek perfectly profound words ;-D

How are they disturbing? (Blameitonjorge brought me here)

This is incredible. But it’s at 68 dislikes. The English language is not equipped to explain how conflicted I am right now.

Is a very nice

The mumenchanz is amiginzin

Think of it as a socially awkward guy who meets a girl.

@perfgeek Well said.

👏

what teh ferk? XD

@raposofan Human beings in general are very confusing hun. :P

i’ve never seen this as a child and im like this is weird not creepy tho

Great act, but he freakiest I've ever seen.

I never know what the X on her mouth is supposed to represent. Is she dead there? I am assuming the arrows represent them sticking their tongues out at each other. and the other feelings are pretty much self-explanatory.

Can somebody explain this whole thing?As in make some kind of plot?

What do the arrows mean in their faces? Does that mean they are feeling "up" and "down", or is that to symbolize their tongues?

Guys is was in 1976 muppet is just weird 😂😂😂
