Why The Muppets Timeline Makes NO SENSE.

As a muppet superfan who has spent their entire existence learning aboyt muppet history and lore, most muppet movies are simply the muppet performers telling a story. They may be slightly based on real events, but only slightly. The only thing that is actually canon is the backstage scenes of the original muppet show.

THEY’RE ALL CANONICALLY MOVIES IN-UNIVERSE! Also gonzo mostly plays himself he just does that lol

The Muppets don't have a timeline, the premise of their movies is that they're a troupe of actors and they make movies.

For 13 straight minutes, I deadass thought i was watching Scott the Woz fucking lose it over the Muppets movies

The best way to look at the Muppet "canon" is to remember that the Muppets are actors and all the movies are still movies in-universe, but some of them are loosely based on the Muppets' real lives. Kermit's line to Robin in the original Muppet movie explains it best, "it's sort of approximately how it happened."

No mention of the line in "We're doing a Sequel...: "I don't mean to be a stickler But this is the SEVENTH sequel to our original motion picture" Love this video.

Like Kermit said in the first movie, it's approximately what happened, also Gonzo and Rizzo were gonna do the role of Jim Hawkins in Treasure Island with Gonzo being Jim and Rizzo being Hawkins but they felt the lead role was too serious for Muppets so they made them Jim's sidekicks and you forgot to mention that in Muppets Most Wanted, Sam the Eagle acted like a complete stranger to the other Muppets

Did you miss the opening song of Great Muppet Caper? It's literally called "Hey, A Movie!" and they all talk about how they're about to be in the movie that you're going to see. I don't understand how that's any different than "We're Doing a Sequel." As a matter of fact, it seems like "Sequel" is directly inspired by the opening of Caper.

Why do yoi think frog dissection in this universe is weird but not the fact that the main villan of The Muppet Movie wanted Kermit to advertise his frog leg restaurant?

2011s muppet movie has the best self insert.

I always just assumed that in all the movies, the Muppets were just acting as themselves in movies within movies and in reality they live relatively normal lives as Hollywood actors and showrunners

The Muppets from space and the two follow ups that take place roughly 60 years after "The Muppet Movie" are cannon and while "The Muppet Christmas Carol" and "Muppet Treasure Island" were more like side projects of Brian Henson in memory of Jim Henson, so they do not count as in-universe Muppet timeline cannon. I wish "The Muppets at Disney World" was made into a DVD, it was my second favorite to "The Muppets Take Manhattan".

I usally don’t comment this but I legitimately think this is one of the most entertaining videos I’ve watched this year.

You said that Muppets Most Wanted is the first time where they show you at everything you just watched is a movie. But that happens in the first Muppet movie by showing the premiere and the studio lot. It also happens EXPLICITLY in Great Muppet Caper. The entire opening credit sequence they're in the hot air balloon commenting on the credits themselves. And then the entire first song is called "Hey a Movie" where they sing about the movie you're about to see. We're Doing a Sequel is actually a reference to that song.

every movie post- The Muppet Movie up until The Muppets but including Most Wanted is a movie the muppets made, obviously. I haven’t watched the video yet maybe you figured that out ok good

I love that every Muppet movie is a movie in the Muppets' canon, so that's sort of the explanation for everything. And also, some movies are actually movies about events that really happened in canon, like The Muppets (2011) and Muppets Most Wanted, making it even more confusing, but honestly great

It's not supposed to be a canonical timeline. The end.

Talking about the muppets is so insanely attractive

Nobody tell him that Walter actually has two brothers and works in a department store that sells miniature clothes for muppets

9:14 I love how he just turns into Patrick Warburton
