Fozzie Bear may be the greatest Muppet of all time. He's delightfully unfunny yet relentlessly optimistic! Born out of the Muppet Show itself, Frank Oz brought a truly unique and iconic character to life for decades. #JimHenson #Puppets #DisneyDan

Would love to see a history of the Electric Mayhem. Or just an Animal video. Animal is my spirit muppet.

The way the earliest version of Fozzie's mouth moves when he frowns will get me every time. The slight droop at the ends of his mouth make me chuckle.

Can you do muppet baby evolution

I think that's what makes Statler & Waldorf so funny as well. And that eagle that says "You are all weirdos"
My favourite part of weird muppet Trivia, is that according to Muppets Tonight. Statler and Waldorf are part of Fozzies act. Statler, Waldorf, and Fozzie all go "on record" saying that Fozzie pays the two former to heckle him because it makes the bit funnier.

seeing the muppet baby puppets in person at a jim henson exhibit felt like a flashbang, did not EVER anticipate them being gigantic 😭

@@BigJames2011I love his hat too, but for some reason I like the hat he wore in Season 1 and early Season 2. It was larger, and the flaps are folded up in front to make it look comedic.
I don't know why, but I get so much joy seeing Fozzie Bear drive a car!

7:16 Dan, you say that as if there isn't a Muppet fan alive who wouldn't sell their left arm to sit next to Statler and Waldorf at a restaurant. Heck, don't lie, so would you!
We want to see an evolution of Bunsen and Beaker.
Yes more muppets please! Dan is like human Fozzie and I love him for that.

I love when we see the Muppets standing up 😂 just the sight of their legs is hilarious to me lol like look at them go
14:01 Ma Bear looks like Aunt Bam! 😂
I can’t with the desktop background 😂
I would love to see a history of the Dr. Teeth, Animal, & the rest of the Electric Mayhem. Maybe even slip a few mentions of some of the other major Muppet bands that have come & gone, like the ones created for Muppets Tonight & the Inner Tube pilot.
What I love most about the muppet evolution videos is also seeing the growth in the character themself and how that change causes a change in the appearance of the character itself. Amazing video as always Dan! Whenever you release a video it always brightens my day! (Also the fozzie bear head on the actual bear body honestly scared me a little at first and I love it)
Can we explore the sass that is Uncle Deadly?? His build is very interesting and he's so spooky I LOVE IT✨

That one would be interesting because he was only ever used in one major role in the original series, was just this cult character because of it for years, and only recently got rediscovered and given a major role since the 2011 Muppet movie. A character that was barely utilized now finally given a spotlight.
I literally can’t stop dying of laughter from seeing the fozzie head with the realistic bear body 3:29
My favourite muppet les goo
I love the tidbit about his mom being friends with Statler and Waldorf, it's so true that Fozzie been traumatized for so long by them
2:39 where Fozzie Bear says a hilarious joke "Hi i am fozzie bear also known as very fuzzy bear"
I was just watching The Muppet show yesterday (currently making my way through it for the first time), and bought a Kermit Loungefly bag so the timing of this video is perfect for my Muppet fever 😁
18:20 "Honey, I blew up Fozzie's neck tie" I did not expect that to be so funny- LMAO
Would love to see Pepe and Rizzo’s evolution since they both kinda faze in and out a lot
I love bears, all bears, but Fozzie bear is such a great standout character! He is such a truly sweet soul who really only just wants to make people laugh! He is such a wonderful character! I love to watch him with my teddy bears too! Thank you very much for sharing this video with us! Your laughter always makes me smile! Keep up the great work, Dan Waka waka!
15:37 Until now I never had a clue Fozzie had his own VHS Video! 😮
The fact that on April 19th 2023, Dan had his 77th DiStory episode is wild
This might be kinda random but it would be so cool to see you do a costume evolution on three characters from a preschool band called the wiggles,the characters being Dorothy The Dinosaur , wags the dog , and Henry The octopus.
Also, in A Muppet Christmas Carol, all the costumes the muppets wear are historically accurate, and the costume team made them in like, 2 weeks. Absolutely the best, most accurate Victorian costumes and they were worn by muppets.

What I really appreciate about A Muppet Christmas Carol’s costumes is that not all the characters’ costumes are up to the trends of that moment. Like Mrs. Cratchett’s dress is clearly made of nice fabric but the style is years out of date, showing that she hasn’t bought a new “church best” dress in a while. It’s great world building.

My favorite outfits are the lamplighter outfits Gonzo and Rizzo wear. Definitely one of my top 5 period piece movies just for the costumes.
I'm proud of you, Fozzie.
balloon mouth fozzie will haunt my nightmares
I feel you with the standing muppet trigger...the Fieries from Labyrinth give me nightmares.
Lol, I was just wishing a couple days ago that you would do this evolution, and here we are now!!!
Fozzie’s my favorite Muppet. 😊 And I’m with you Dan, I love it when the Muppets do adaptations. I’m still holding out for them to make Muppet Dracula, with Fozzie playing Quincy Morris (a cowboy callback to his Kid Fozzie roots!).
"Hey there, you're as funny as Fozzie Bear!" That's not a compliment!
Thanks so much for covering a muppet here. The muppets are like family to me.
Wonderful video as always, Dan! Now bring on Rowlf the Dog!
Fozzie is Dan's spirit animal.
11:50 - Yeah, the Muppet Babies puppets are MASSIVE; I had the pleasure of seeing two of them at a traveling Jim Henson exhibit (and the displeasure of being the only person at that exhibit who knew what The Dark Crystal was, but that's another story) and they were bigger than some of the regular puppets on exhibit! Great video as always; loved the looks at some of the more obscure Muppet stuff like the tour and the Play-Along Video (also minor issue, but when talking about the 1984-1988 period, you use footage from The Great Muppet Caper, which actually came out in 1981. Again, very minor and someone's probably pointed it out, but I just wanted to let you know just in case!).
this, the tribute hour, and segments of the celebration of life are the most Muppets things i have watched since Henson died. we're talking an adult who would watch _Sesame Street_ before she went to work; not because she had children/a child, but because she enjoyed the show.
I love Fozzie and his jokes 😂❤
Fun Fact in the 80's to the early 90's France had a political parody of the Muppet Show called the Le Bébête Show and Fozzie Bear had a parody in the former French Prime Minister Raymond Barre whom was PM from 76-81 he appeared on the show as Brazzie.
You are the FOZZIE BEAR of Disney KZreadrs EXCEPT… FOZZIE doesn’t fake laugh at his own (non)jokes and isn’t quite as un-bearable as you. As always FANTASTIC research. Great job!
1991 Muppets on Location- WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY SWEET BOI BEAN?!
This episode is un-bearable
Fozzie Bear's original voice kind of sounds like if Cookie Monster was trying to do a John Wayne impersonation.
When I first stumbled across your channel Fozzie Bear was the first thing that came to my mind watching your videos and I've watched them ever since.
Good Grief it's a bear! Thanks ABunches Dan for showing me history of my favorite Muppet Show funny bear!
18:08 - 18:11 “Adam and Eve could’ve used it to cover their privates” that was so funny 😂😂
i guess no one Can bear it with this Video get it Bear it waka waka aww
You know dan fozzie bear pays Statler and Waldorf to heckle him for the comedy acts he does
I've seen Fozzie's studebaker at the studebaker museum before and i can't wait to see it again
It's my favorites muppet, fozzie is just, cute, funny, nice, yes he's just ... Perfect !❤️🔥
Four things: The Studebaker Museum has had Fozzie's Studebaker for decades by this point, they just recently started crowdfunding the restoration because I guess the donation box they had in front of it when I was there wasn't raking in the dough. Eric took over Fozzie and Piggy in 2001, which was three years before the Disney sale, because Frank basically left to focus on his directing career. Cowardly Lion Fozzie was first seen in the "The Great Muppet Caper" promotional special/unofficial "Muppet Show" series finale "The Muppets Go to the Movies". And fluffy Fozzie was built for the 2011 movie "The Muppets", not the 2015 series "the muppets.", though I can see where one could get confused.

I came down to see if anyone else had mentioned the Studebaker.
Actually, your first true peek at LION Fozzie came from The Muppets' first attempt at _The Wizard of Oz_ (casting Miss Piggy as Dorothy Gale, Miss Piggy's dog Froufou as Toto, Scooter instead of Kermit as the Scarecrow, Gonzo as the Tin-Thing, Fozzie as the Cowardly Lion, etc.) in "The Muppets Go To The Movies".
Many of the materials that are used to make the puppets are no longer made for various reasons. Which is why Fozzie's fur looks weird and why they've not updated Gonzo. The rats are used sparingly now because of it.
I'm not sure what's more unsettling, Hatbox Ghost Fozzie with teeth or that Fozzie headed Kermit monstrosity behind you 😂 The clip of Fozzie & Ozzy Osbourne was weird but funny to see.
Woof. Fozzie needs to be fluffed after shipping. That nose is pushed up. 😂
"We don't talk about...Kermit's new voice"
Every muppet? You know there is like 3,000 of them right
DANG! Muppets are THAT old?!😮 they’re looking great for their age👍🥰 all I-don’t-know-how-many of them 🥳
The honey i blew up Fozzie’s neck tie part so funny it would be a parody
17:17 Actually, Muppet Babies appeared in the Disney Junior on Tour show. I'm not sure if they are included in Costume Palooza. Sadly, Disney didn't make walk arounds of the characters, they appear on the TV.
I'm on the edge of my seat in expectation of the Muppets Presents Five Nights At Fozzie's. I'll bet the audience will die laughing.
Waka Waka❤
You Did A Big Bird Costume Evolution. Where's One For Oscar The Grouch, Grover, Or Cookie Monster?! Insane! Insane In The Membrane! 😂❤
My favorite moment from Fozzie Bear is when he opened up the show with his really bad jokes during the first season of The Muppet Show. Too bad that it couldn’t continue to be that way during the last four seasons. It would’ve been nice if it did😔
"Nope" that's what I thought when you said those jokes
My theory is that Ma Bear sent Statler and Waldorf to the Muppet Theatre to build Fozzie’s self-esteem, so that he’ll stop caring about what others think. Or she’s just a sadistic bear.
Yes he returned
now i want to see the history of bunsen honeydew
This was everything I needed and more, thank you for this!!
Have you heard the one about the soft drink that they’re inventing for kitchen and bathroom sinks? It’s called Roto Root Beer. Wocka Wocka Wocka!
the fozzie bear in the background 😭😭😭
just had to get on my phone to comment you’ve been one of my favorite content creators and i only now realized how close you are. love from down the street in lancaster ! 😭💕
See, Fozzie is the Muppet I relate to most, me being a hairy doofus in a hat who also just desperately wants to make people laugh. XD
18:11 I literally cannot stop laughing. Why is this so funny HELPBHDLDKDHDK
Actually Ma Bear appeared as early as in season 2, in the Cleo Lane episode, although she didn't spoke in that episode beside from snoring as she fell asleep at the very end.
I've waited a long time to see this!!!
I would love too see the evolution of Pepe the king prawn
What about Fozzie in The Muppets Classic Theatre. I watch it on VHS as a kid, they do classic story.

Fantastic evolution as always, Dan. I always like Fozzie's looks from the Muppet Movie and the 90's onwards. ^^ One thing I should point out is that Fozzie also dressed as the cowardly lion back in "The Muppets Go To The Movies."
Cat In The hat Beetlejuice? So much costumes that are great!
Can you do a costume history of Aladdin? He's my favorite Disney character of all time. I also wanna see an Animal video. Animal is also my spirit Muppet. I love him, a lot.
I love Fozzie too. I didn't notice all of the changes he has undergone. I don't think he was wearing a Victorian wig in Muppet Treasure Island, and if he was, that would be an anachronism. It looks more like the Georgian or Regency period with sailing ship.
How did I not know there was a Muppet Wizard of Oz? Oh, it was a TV movie and not on Disney+
it's been awhile since the history of big bird i wouldn't mind seeing a evolution of bird's friend snuffy
Love every video you post dan
12:34 Bro got the moves and grooves
Ahh, a bear in his natural habitat… a studebaker.
Thank you for the puns ❤ 20.4.23
I guess either Scooter, Rowlf, or the Mayhem will be next. Also, Lion Fozzie was around since uh, Muppets go to the Movies? They did a Wizard of Oz bit, with Piggy as Dorothy, Scooter as Scarecrow, Gonzo as Tinman and Fozzie as the Lion.
I love Fozzie 🤎
Today is a good day
FINALLY!!! A FOZZIE VIDEO
Well actually Fozzie's lion counterpart actually appeared in a Tv special called The Muppets Go to the Movies in 1981, BEFORE the interaction VHS of Laugh with Fozzie.
