00:00I'll be here for you.
00:07When your room looks kinda weird,
00:10and you wish that you weren't there,
00:13just close your eyes and fix your knees,
00:16and you can be every way.
00:19I'll be here for you.
00:51What is it we're looking for again, Kermit?
00:54Shhh!
00:55We're big game hunters trying to capture a lion, Fuzzy.
00:58Oh yeah!
01:00Oh, you mean there's a lion in the nursery?
01:04We're not in the nursery, silly.
01:06We're in a jungle filled with wild animals and ferocious beasts.
01:12Oh, I knew that.
01:13Look, there he is.
01:23He went behind that tree.
01:36Careful, Kermit. He could be dangerous.
01:39Boy, Kermit sure knows a lot about tracking the big game.
01:43Are you kidding?
01:44Kermit doesn't know a thing about big game.
01:48If you wanna see the really big game, follow me.
01:57Ha!
01:58There it is now.
01:59The big game.
02:08I don't think this is the kind of game Kermit was talking about, Gonzo.
02:13Never mind.
02:14Take a picture of me capturing the game.
02:17Smile!
02:23Hey!
02:25Whoa!
02:27What's happening?
02:29From now on, I'm sticking to small games like tiddlywinks.
02:42Maybe we ought to forget about the lion.
02:45He sounds awful big.
02:47Don't worry, Scooter.
02:48I'll catch him in this net.
02:50Oh, my hero.
03:04Stay together.
03:05Come behind, Scooter.
03:08Come behind.
03:12We do this.
03:14What do you want to be a giant?
03:16Get the key!
03:19Why are we commencer to be Ratistan Bane?
03:27Why do you want to put the lion now?
03:33Um, I know. We'll take him to the zoo.
03:36That's a great idea.
03:38I don't think so.
03:40Yeah, he might scare all the other animals at the zoo. Right, Ralph?
03:44No, Fozzie. Zoos remind me of the dog pound.
03:48All those poor animals locked up in cages.
03:52Gosh, I never thought of it like that.
03:55Me either.
03:56Gee, I'm kind of sorry we caught him now.
03:59Yeah, maybe, maybe we should let him go.
04:04Roar?
04:05Hi, kids.
04:06Hi, Nanny.
04:09Why all the gloomy faces?
04:11Well, um, we caught a lion, Nanny.
04:14You did?
04:15Lion roar!
04:18Oh, I see.
04:19We were going to take him to the zoo, Nanny.
04:22But Ralph said zoos are no fun for animals.
04:25No fun, Nanny.
04:27But zoos can be a lot of fun, Ralph.
04:29What?
04:30For visitors, maybe.
04:32But what about the animals locked up in those cages?
04:36Me fix! Me fix!
04:44But many zoos don't have cages, Ralph.
04:48See?
04:49Gee, look at that.
04:51But wouldn't the animals be happier if they weren't in the zoo?
04:55Some of them might, Ralph.
04:57But many animals aren't safe in the wild.
05:00What do you mean, Nanny?
05:01Well, Skeeter, some of the places where animals live and find their food are being destroyed by cities.
05:09The animals have no place to go.
05:16Zoos give them the protection they need to survive.
05:20Gee whiff!
05:21Why don't you take a look at that book, Ralph?
05:24I think you'll find that zoos aren't so bad after all.
05:27Okay, Nanny.
05:28Gee, wouldn't it be great if we could go to a zoo?
05:31We can, silly!
05:33In our imaginations!
05:35Oh, aren't they beautiful, Kermie?
05:39Sure, Piggy.
05:40What are they?
05:42Flamingos!
05:43They're my favorite animal.
05:45They are?
05:46How do they balance on one leg like that?
05:49Simple, Skeeter.
05:50They take ballet lessons.
05:52That's ridiculous.
05:54Birds can't dance.
05:55Of course they can.
05:57Haven't you ever heard of flamingo dancing?
06:00Oh!
06:04Maestro, if you please.
06:56Waterbelly!
06:59Animals!
07:00Get this waiting pool out of here!
07:02Okay.
07:03Yay!
07:04That was great!
07:06Good dance, Piggy.
07:09Thank you!
07:12How did you like the flamingos, Ralph?
07:14They're okay.
07:15Now that's my favorite animal.
07:18A monkey?
07:19It's not just a monkey.
07:21It's a chimpanzee.
07:22They look just like you, Scooter.
07:27Oh, yeah?
07:28Well, if they look like me, then they look like you, too.
07:31We're twins, remember?
07:32He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he.
07:34Oh, yeah.
07:35Why do you like chimpanzees, Skeeter?
07:37Because you can play sports with them.
07:40Huh?
07:41Come on.
07:42I'll show you.
07:43Come on.
07:47I'll show you.
07:49Before you play sports, you should always loosen up.
07:52Okay, fellas, it's time for Skeeter's Workout.
07:56First exercise.
07:58First exercise.
07:58One, two, one, two, one, two.
08:01Oh, my God.
08:03Oh, my God.
08:04Oh, my God.
08:05Okay, guys.
08:07We're ready for the Chimp Olympics.
08:17First event, the 100-meter tree swing.
08:22Gee, they're going to swing a tree?
08:24These monkeys must be strong.
08:26Fuzzy!
08:28Sorry.
08:29First entrant.
08:32Begin.
08:39All right, second entrant.
08:42Begin.
08:48Okay, third entrant.
08:52Begin.
08:59Now, this is my kind of event.
09:04This landing always gets us.
09:14Gee, tough judges.
09:20That was fun, Skeeter.
09:22But I know an Olympic event that's even better.
09:25What's that, Fuzzy?
09:27Funny face making.
09:29What?
09:29Here, I'll show you.
09:31Watch me do a double somersault lip wrap
09:33with the one-and-a-quarter nose twist.
09:36Not bad, huh?
09:40I can do better than that.
09:43Wow.
09:46A gold medal for sure.
09:51Gold medal.
09:52So badepert.
10:03What's really?
10:04for us. Not as funny as mine.
10:08Wow!
10:16Thank you, Peter.
10:18See, Rolf? Animals can't
10:20have fun in the zoo. Well,
10:22I guess so. Let's see
10:24what other animals there are.
10:26Oh, boy! Hyenas!
10:29Hyenas! My favorite!
10:30Hyenas? Why would anyone
10:32like hyenas? Because
10:34they're laughing hyenas.
10:35They'll know a good joke when they hear one.
10:45Thank you, thank you.
10:46I've got some great jokes for you
10:48today.
10:50Have you heard this one?
10:52Why do turtles live in shells?
10:55They give up
10:56because they can't afford apartments.
10:58Waka, waka, waka!
11:02Hey, wait a minute.
11:03Where are you going?
11:10What are you doing
11:12in my imagination, Gonzo?
11:14Sergeant
11:15Gonzo
11:16of the Bomb Squad.
11:18Bomb Squad?
11:19That's right.
11:20You just laid a bomb
11:22with that joke of yours, Fawcett.
11:24It's my job
11:25to see that it doesn't explode.
11:33just as I thought.
11:35It's a big one.
11:37Oh, no!
11:40Jim Henson's Muppet.
11:42Quick!
11:43Do something
11:44before it explodes.
11:45Don't worry.
11:47Sergeant Gonzo
11:48will take care
11:49of this.
11:56Gee,
11:57you could sure
11:58make a lot of spaghetti sauce
11:59with that tomato.
12:01Shh!
12:02Don't talk
12:03while I'm defusing
12:04the bomb.
12:05Sorry.
12:10This isn't going to be so easy.
12:27There. What a revolting development. I can't defuse it.
12:33What'll we do?
12:34The only way to stop it is by telling a really funny joke.
12:41If only we could get Steve Martin.
12:45I've got a real funny joke, Gonzo.
12:47Whoa, boy!
12:49Why do leopards have spots on their coats?
12:52Give up? Because they don't bring them to the cleaners.
12:56Was that good enough?
12:58Probably not.
13:00Take cover!
13:07Oh, does this mean my joke wasn't funny?
13:14Joke bomb!
13:18Animal?
13:20That was no Steve Martin.
13:23Wow, look at that.
13:24It's a zebra.
13:27Zebras are my favorite animal.
13:30Not mine.
13:31I don't like their stripes.
13:32They look like prisoners.
13:34I'll bet I know how they got their stripes.
13:37There was this black horse who walked behind the picket fence.
13:43Then this painter came along and painted the fence white.
13:50And that's how the zebra got his stripes.
13:54Honest.
13:55That's not how zebras got their stripes.
13:57Yeah, they got them from being in the army.
14:00For the zebras don't go in the army.
14:03They don't?
14:04No.
14:05Oh.
14:06Yeah, they go in the zoo.
14:09That's where they get their stripes.
14:11What?
14:12They get suntan through their cage bars.
14:15Oh.
14:16Uh-uh, Rolf.
14:18Zebras are born with stripes.
14:20The only thing they get in the zoo is love and attention.
14:23Yeah, they give them attention.
14:27Just like in the army.
14:29Fuzzy!
14:31Sorry.
14:31Gee, Rolf.
14:33We wouldn't want the animals locked up like prisoners.
14:36Yeah.
14:36We love animals.
14:38Just like you do.
14:39You do?
14:40Uh-huh.
14:41Let's tell Rolf how much we love animals, Kirby.
14:44Good idea, Piggy.
14:46Yeah!
14:52If you're looking for advice, don't look too hard.
14:55You can find one way to leave your own backyard.
15:00Have a personal chat with a kitty cat.
15:03Give a puppy a kiss and I'll kill you a bitch.
15:05Animals are my favorite people.
15:09We love animals.
15:11Animals are my friendliest friends.
15:15You can take your goldfish out to eat.
15:18Or bring some ice cream home for your pair of tea.
15:21You mean like, give a gentle hug to a ladybug?
15:25Tell a fairy tale to a lonely snail.
15:28Animals are my favorite people.
15:32We love animals.
15:33Animals are my friendliest friends.
15:36He he he he.
15:38He he he.
15:39Turn around and they'll be there.
15:41They love to listen and they really care.
15:43Treat them nice like they treat you.
15:46You always are a friend.
15:48That's true.
15:49Animals are my favorite people.
15:52We love animals.
15:54Animals are my friendliest friends.
15:57Hey, have a love with the world!
15:59Animals are my favorite people!
16:03We are animals!
16:04Animals are my friendliest friends!
16:07Get funny with the bunny, waka waka!
16:09Animals are my favorite people!
16:13We are animals!
16:15Animals are my friendliest friends!
16:17Hey, look for the most beautiful!
16:25Gee, that was a great song, guys!
16:29You think people who work at zoos love animals that much?
16:32Well, sure they do!
16:34Remember what Nani said, Wolf?
16:37Zoos protect endangered species from becoming extinct!
16:41Say, maybe I'm an endangered species!
16:44You guys always say my jokes stink!
16:46Not stink, Fozzy! Extinct!
16:49That's when a certain kind of animal disappears from the Earth forever!
16:53Yeah, and there's plenty of bears!
16:56That's right!
16:57And when you're an endangered species, there's only a few of you left!
17:01Wait a minute!
17:03Have you ever seen anyone who looked like me, Kermit?
17:07Um, not really, Gonzo!
17:09One time I saw an old rug that kinda looked like you!
17:13This isn't funny!
17:14I'm one of a kind!
17:16I'm an endangered species!
17:19Aw, don't worry, Gonzo!
17:21There's gotta be more like you around!
17:23Somewhere?
17:24Maybe we'll find one in the animal book!
17:28Hold it!
17:29Look at the nose on that guy!
17:32Huh?
17:33I think I'm one of those!
17:35That's an anteater!
17:36So that's what I am!
17:51What'll you have, folks?
17:52I want a double ant burger, please!
17:56Make mine with cheese!
17:57And give me a red ant milkshake!
17:59Extra sick!
18:04Come, come, Gonzo!
18:05If you're going to grow up to be a healthy anteater, you've got to eat your ants!
18:10Waiter, bring Gonzo our usual!
18:13Couldn't I just have a tuna sandwich?
18:15I guess not!
18:38Look!
18:39There's an ant on the ceiling!
18:41I don't see anything!
18:44Heh heh!
18:44Must've been a fly!
18:46Fly?
18:47Yuck!
18:55Now, Gonzo, you eat your ants like a good little ant eater!
19:00I can't eat this!
19:02Uh, waiter!
19:03There's a piece of food in my ants!
19:06Sorry!
19:06I'll get you another bowl!
19:08No, no!
19:09That's okay!
19:09That won't be...
19:11Uh...
19:12Necessary!
19:13Gonzo!
19:14Either you eat your ants or you're not going to get any dessert!
19:19Oh, yeah?
19:19What's for dessert?
19:21Termite tapioca!
19:23Oh, boy!
19:24My favorite!
19:28Uh...
19:29Uh, oh...
19:31Guess what...
19:32I'm not an ant eater!
19:34Ow, shit!
19:38Gonzo, it's really your imagination!
19:42You're right!
19:43Thanks, Kermit!
19:45Hey!
19:46If I'm not an ant eater,
19:47I must really be an endangered species!
19:51Maybe Gonzo should be in the zoo!
19:53No way!
19:54Hey, he'll stay in the nursery with the rest of us.
19:57Yeah, and you won't be an endangered species as long as we're here to take care of you.
20:02Gosh, thanks, Rolf.
20:04That's the same way zoos feel about other endangered animals, Rolf.
20:09Yeah.
20:10Wow.
20:11See, Rolf?
20:12Yeah, zoos really do help endangered animals stay alive and healthy.
20:17They're better than that. Zoos are wonderful.
20:20People, too.
20:21Yes, people are wonderful, too, Animal.
20:24No, people zoo.
20:31Gosh, I've never heard of a people zoo before.
20:35Me so, me so.
20:39Amazing, isn't it?
20:41What?
20:42Animal always thinks in crayon.
20:45Personally, I prefer to think in finger paint.
20:50People zoo! People zoo!
20:55Letter for you, Mr. Rhino.
20:57Well, thank you, Mr. Kirby.
21:00Hello, Animal. How are you today?
21:02I'm fine.
21:06Who is that cat animal?
21:08Dear friend.
21:09Hello, Animal is in danger.
21:15Take bus. Take bus.
21:22That's the weirdest bus driver I ever saw.
21:26Not bus driver.
21:28Channel driver.
21:32Ha!
21:32I knew it.
21:34The warranties expired on Animal's brain.
21:43What kind of person, uh, I mean, animal is that?
21:48Hippopotam plumber.
21:50La la la la la la.
21:51Huh?
21:52If that was a hippopotam plumber, then what's that?
21:56Ballpoint bedroom.
21:58La la la la la la.
22:00Something tells me Animal's been eating the rug again.
22:05I bet that's an octocock.
22:08Then what's that?
22:10Messenger ass.
22:11Message for Mr. Animal.
22:15What's it say?
22:16Bus stop!
22:19Wow!
22:20Wow!
22:23Is everything all right in here?
22:26Everything's fine, Nanny.
22:28We just finished our trip to the zoo.
22:31Well, Rolf, what do you think about zoos now?
22:34Gosh, I never realized how important zoos are, Nanny.
22:38They really care about animals.
22:41Well, I'm glad you feel that way, Rolf.
22:43How would you like it if I took you all to the zoo tomorrow?
22:47That would be fun, Nanny!
22:52I may be an endangered species, but you're not taking me to the zoo.
22:57They'll probably want to keep me there.
23:00No way!
23:01I'll leave you right now.
23:04Oh, well.
23:05At least you'll come to visit me.
23:07Won't you?
23:13Hi, I'm Stick Stickly, the host of Nick in the Afternoon.
23:16Did I mention that I'm a stick?
23:17Yeah, anywho, tune in to Nick in the Afternoon.
23:21It should be, well, interesting.
23:23Starting in half an hour.
23:25That's just 30 minutes from now.
23:26Oh, simmer down.
23:27Right here on Nick.
23:28Oh, stay tuned for Alvin and the Chapman, Nick on Nickelodeon.
23:36Ha, ha, ha.
23:51Uh, uh, Higgy, wouldn't you like to be closer, friend?
23:55Say, this post?
23:58What?
23:59What?
23:59In the past?
24:01Oh, pipe down!
24:02Oh, hello!
24:04Ha, ha, ha!
24:04Ho, ha, ho, ho!
24:05Wa, wa, wa, wa!
24:06I'll see you next week.
