Evolution of Fozzie Bear - A Very Muppet DIStory Ep. 77

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.

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.

I've always adored Baby Fozzie's design! The propeller hat is simply precious, and he's just overall so cute!

[mangojumbo]

I literally can’t stop dying of laughter from seeing the fozzie head with the realistic bear body 3:29

[ratbones]

Yes more muppets please! Dan is like human Fozzie and I love him for that.

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!

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

[lateramae]

I don't know why, but I get so much joy seeing Fozzie Bear drive a car!

[fuzziestbuggiest]

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

[NathanSpies]

Disney Dan is literally a human Fozzie

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!

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)

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!).

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

[theprodigiousspiderstarTM]

I kinda would like to see a top 10 favorite muppets or puppets from Dan

[i.m.evilhomer]

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.

[laurendouglas]

Can we explore the sass that is Uncle Deadly?? His build is very interesting and he's so spooky I LOVE IT✨

[raynacarraway]

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 😁

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.
