You’re telling me they spent thousands of dollars and man hours to make a shot for shot recreation of the show as a joke. Brilliant

[@alwest4472]

28:05 I was kinda disappointed since the puppet clearly couldn’t properly recreate the original scene but then how they did the punch… fuckimg marvelous

God bless the people keeping puppetry alive these days.

[@russellharrell2747]

The long running Mr Frog show being significant for seasons 4-17 sounds like a stealth Simpsons dig. Cool.

[@murrfeeling]

I can feel that, and it gets more relevant every day. Will they replace or fade away with grace after the first MAIN Simpsons performer retires/dies/ages out. Marge's VA is 73, with Homer's and Bart's only 6 years younger.

[@EchoLeague2]

@@murrfeeling It's too late to "fade away with grace."

[@murrfeeling]

@@TerrenceNowicki You might be right. Let's aim for "not become a grotesque mockery offending man and god alike".

The actress playing along with the puppets deserves a beer.

[@operationfrogurt]

Less of an April fools joke and more of a stunning work of art.

[@demisagoat]

I only just noticed the funniest part of the Mr. Frog episode, the whole plot was about how Mr. Frog got cancelled and how they could fix it, and how his entire career is over forever, except he becomes insanely rich and powerful. Too accurate

I love the joke with Mr. Frog on sleeping pills because frogs can breathe underwater (assuming it has enough oxygen), so it'd be totally fine if he fell in.

[@hiropisku1078]

The fact that these puppets are well made AND they covered three different episodes. For an April Fools puppet recreation, this was pretty cool.

[@punkman115]

7:43 I just love when people just use their own hands to sell the perspective over the puppets just for the absurdity of it

[@Fwtx.Kaitlyn]

The way Charlie has like 4 eyes😂😂

[@TheOneTrueAnswer]

Can we just admire how accurate Shrimp's puppet looks? One of the better pranks in Adult Swim history I'd say.

[@hahahello7519]

Oh god they even made different puppets for different episodes, that's amazing! It's absolutely amazing how Adult Swim always delivers, especially on April 1st!

[@funsize69]

Pretty sure they commissioned different artist for each episode :-)

The attention to detail in the puppet designs is truly impressive, especially considering the humor and creativity that brings each character to life.
