Muppet Show Bloopers & Mistakes

[Janice & Mokey's Man]

Well this wasn't on TMS, but in "The Muppets Go To The Movies", when Floyd and Jani*e sing "Akt Naturally" bakkstage, Rikhard forgets to open Jani*e's mouth soon enough when she and Floyd kome bakk into the song right after the instrumental.

Argh! I hate to look at her "messed up" durin' that part!

LOL!

I don't post very often, but I found one too. I don't know if it's been found yet, but here it is anyway. In the Gilda Radner episode of the Muppet Show, when Fozzie peaks through the curtain to introduce the Gilda's final number and gets glue on him, duct tape holding Fozzie to the curtain is clearly visible when he tries to shake free.

I remember a version of TMM when the Electric Mayhem waves goodbye to Kermit and Fozzie, and you can clearly see Dave Goelz's arm coming out of Zoot, but all other versions i've seen has that fixed! I can't find a version anywhere with that arm!!!! LOL! GRRRR! I know I saw it.

 

[Aerosmith]

In TMM at the end when they are talking to each other after the movie when Floyd & Janice are talking to I think Piggy, Janice is talking with her hair in her mouth.

Jackie, you can see that blooper on the original CBS/FOX tape of The Muppet Movie, where they simply showed the complete frame, with visible arms sticking out of the puppets, instead of cropping it from the "matted" widescreen version.

MFS:
- You see a really long sleeve coming from
Gonzo in the longshot when he walks on
the set to UFO Mania.
- Bunsen forgets to open his mouth when
he says "alien reverend" or something.
EIG:
-You can see the sleeve of the performer's
arm on one of the singing bags (when singing
with the Queen of Trash.
PHOTO:
- In Jim Henson:The Works, a photo for
Muppet Vision you can once again see
*Kermit's* sleeve.
TMM:
- SLEEVES AGAIN.
- Anyone can see the cheapness of the
falling dolls,really.
- Anyone noticed how Fozzie talked only
in Cameo-Frank's arms.
- Kermit's mouth didn't move while on
the fan.
- Janice's hair in her mouth.
- Big Bird didn't dub to the song at the end.
- Big Bird's mouth moves a few extra times
when talking to Kermit and Fozzie.
BITBBH:
- Treelo's sleeve.
COMMERTIAL:
- Fozzie's voice to deep.


sorry all the good bloopers were taken...

Ahhh! That must have been where I saw it! Thanks! Anyone have this version? LOL!

I personally don't feel opening of mouths and Fozzie's voice being too deep constitute to "flubs". I consider flubs seeing puppeteers and messing up a line,or even a mistake in the scene, but that just MHO.
Here's some more:

Fabulous Miss Piggy Show:

During the Calender Song, we see Frank's head during "January"

During credits,we see Sam's performer.

Rizzo's sleeve visible during scene where he pushes button with
nose

TMS:

During several of the Waldorf and Statler cut-aways taped
during the first season on an angle, we see Jim's head.

Sex and Violence: We see Fran Brill under Janice

Kaye Ballard: During "Play the Notes You Know", Dave Goelz's
head is very visible under Zoot.

Joel Grey: We see Dave Goelz's head under Janice and Zoot
during the end


Muppet's Tonight:

Paula Abdul: During the end of "You Belong to Me", you see a
performers head behind the Robot Lincoln very easily.


I'll think of more......

In Muppet Treasure island, you can xee Dave Goelz's head during the first song with Jim, gonzo, and Rizzo.

Someone mentioned the widescreen MFS, and it's Peter Linz's head you see under Bunsen as well as John Kennedy's head under Fozzie a few seconds later.
