C'est Les Muppets Showue!

[Beauregard]

Hey *refers to my post a little way back* I did a reveiw on what I thought was the show, but that's was only about 20 minutes long? Where can I find the 40 minute long version? The one I saw was on YouTube - following Luke's links.

And I think it is amazing that we are all sitting here watching the Muppet's speak in French with strange, strange voices and rather off characterisation, and loving it.

I'll look for merchandise for Christmas, so stay tuned.

Thanks.

Here it is a translation of the Animal & Piggy part at 34mn00. Please note that all muppets are swearing in the french version. It's totally usual in France, even in kid shows:

Piggy: You're coming at the right moment, Animal! What do you think of me to play in the musical?

Animal(singing): "Nothing to loose, nothing to take care, nothing to f-ucking take care, nothing to footle around, nothing to f-ucking take care!"

Piggy: Sorry? Is there a problem?!

Animal(singing): "I'm fed up of this chick! Fed up of this chick!"

Piggy: Listen to me carefully, you big pile of hair! You stop it right now!!

Animal(singing): "Shift out the way! Shift out the way!"

Piggy: Are you f-ucking messing with me? You know WHO I am?

Animal(singing): "The pretty Sausage! The pretty Sausage!"


Sausage in french means an ugly woman.

Well that was...surprising. Thank you so much for translating even a little of the show for us. It is surprising though. But, hey, different cultures have different levels of swearing.

Even MTI had to be adjusted for the UK.

Even MTI had to be adjusted for the UK.

Didn't know that (or heard but just forgot!). Can you elaborate when you've got a minute.

Cheers

Sure, in America Billy Bones says, "How does she bloody do that?" whereas in England he says, "How does she blooming do that?" Also, later, Silver asks Piggy, "Where's the bloody treasure?" while in the UK he says, "Where's the blasted treasure?"

I wonder if the Muppet Holding Company and Disney are aware the Classic Muppets are swearing. I know the scripts had to be reviewed but have a feeling they don't, lol.

Now I really dont like it with the swearing thing. These just arent our muppets.

They're not swearing all the time. But when they do it, it's always funny for any french viewer. We're used to.
