Absolutely loving all the Henson content you've been putting out. I'm living my puppeteer dreams vicariously through you!

[@gqinc1202]

I better not see a business buisness otomatone video lol

[@ArcadeProductions]

See comments like this solidify why your one of my favorite creators

[@jackielantern6]

@@gqinc1202I'd actually like to see that happen

[@rdanielgarza1972]

Adam does an amazing job doing a deep dive into our puppet world. Thank you for watching and supporting his channel and our craft. We hope to see you at one of our performances someday!❤

[@JoshGreenSEO]

This is by far my favorite Tested series. Seeing how The Henson Company made my childhood memories and now makes those memories come alive again is deeply gratifying. Thank you Adam.

[@rdanielgarza1972]

Adam is absolutely outstanding and his enthusiasm and curiosity don't stop when the cameras are off. We spoke for a while afterwards and his love for creatives and the creative process are fantastic! Thanks for watching!

[@weathermansam2]

Adam is basically a professional puppeteer at this point. He is out here living my dreams

[@Crow.Author]

He has technically been in a Jim Henson company skit!

[@PierceArner]

Having gone to rewatch the original _“Business Business”_ sketch again now, it's amazing knowing about all the little details and seeing them revived for this.

[@XemeraldXD]

Im so incredibly excited to see John back on the channel, last time he talked about Fraggle Rock is one of my favorite videos on youtube, hes so funny and passionate

[@tested]

He is SO great!

[@JeffPom]

I don’t know who that Johnny guy is - but man, can you feel his joy talking about doing this! What a fun job!!!

[@omarsdroog]

He looks so much like Anthony Rapp.

[@NitaKerns]

There's some earlier videos of Tested at the Henson Co, about the Fraggles reboot. John is Gobo Fraggle!!! I loved him in that video, so I was super excited to see him in this video!!

[@rdanielgarza1972]

​@NitaKerns Johnny is the absolute best!! His energy is contagious and his love of puppetry and people translates both on and off set! 🎉

[@weathermansam2]

John played Ernie for a while in the 2000s. That's where I know him from. Also he was Princeton and Rod in Avenue Q, and Pinocchio and Magic Mirror in Shrek the Musical.

[@shubinternet]

Such pure joy here, on the faces of the people who do this work, and it brings such pure joy to those of us watching. Thank you so much!

[@suekraeuter5844]

love love this jim henson puppetry - thank you for sharing how much technique / complexity and even more importantly the tremendous joy that goes into bringing these characters to life!

[@VioletDeVille]

I cannot tell you how much I have loved all of the Henson videos you've been creating. I'm not gonna lie, both ILM and the Jim Henson Creature Shop were places I dreamed of working at as a kid. These videos bring me so much joy! Thank you!! 💜

[@natemayer5498]

Just saw Puppet Up Uncensored last night the Jim Henson Studios in LA. Always been a huge Henson fan. Front row seats and easily in the top 3 live events I have experienced. One of the funniest shows I have ever seen too. Always wanted an adult no holding back type puppet show. Thanks Adam Savage and Tested for these Henson videos. Would have never known about Puppet Up Uncensored without this series. I am looking forward to seeing the show again in the future

[@spiercephotography]

What a hoot! These are so fun to watch, I love that these puppeters are continuing Jim's legacy on, but at the same time also making it their own!

[@actionjackson9201]

Love it, I was a student at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh graduate 1992. I met a puppeteer by the name of Jim in the Industrial Design Program. His knowledge and sharing I will never forget. Thank you for the memory reactivation.

[@TrinidadPuppets]

I absolutely love this series. Adam keeps it real and brings the Henson company to life right now.

[@billbucktube]

👍😀 It is such a joy to see how much love and care is put into these little characters! The puppeteers provide the heart and soul. The writing, choreography and photography illustrate that heart wrapped in the story. So much artistry!

[@martydworkis12345]

I would love to see the full version of this recreation please

[@dclqworm]

[@NitaKerns]

YAY more John Tartaglia!!!!

[@Evergreen64]

I really love the old Jim Henson sketches he did for corporations. The one with the coffee machine was hilarious!

[@ScorpionSpeed]

I'm loving the puppetry series, Adam!!

[@jmgriffee]

IS THAT JOHNNY FROM JOHNNY AND THE SPRITES?!?!? I loved that show!!!

[@rdanielgarza1972]

Yup! One and the same!

[@62-66]

It's always amazing when actors transform in an instant. It’s also interesting to see devices for controlling dolls 👏👏👏😃👍

[@jm9371]

The Henson crew as it is today. Wonderful people.

[@samp.8099]

Nice that they've kept the original music track after all these years

[@mckay5933]

pretty kool episode. put a smile on my face

[@daveco1270]

So that WAS Jim's voice coming from one character. I was thinking it must be Brian Henson because it sounded so much like Jim. Now I know it's a recorded track from the original.

[@vineheart01]

i dont think ive laughed this hard since i was a kid watching Muppets....fitting... Jim Henson was amazing....despite passing long before i was an adult i still miss him.

Loving these so much ...watching this has made me go back at watch a few old sesame street content.

[@AllanCav]

This is nearly too much for me. Absolute joy.

[@lydiakies9053]

I wanted to work on Sesame Street as a kid. (Okay. I still do.) Seeing the behind the scenes stuff makes me happy.

[@muffinman4353]

Long live the magic of the one and only Jim Henson!

[@thisguysgaming7246]

I really wanna visit the Jim Henson workshop, would be amazing

[@repairitdontreplaceit]

i love the martians , ide love to see them make a come back

[@nezcroc]

These characters reminds me of the "Yip-Yip" monsters :)

[@R2k2]

I can imagine that these old sketches also was some inspiration for the 'later' Muppet show material. I mean, when the first notes from 'Business business' where played, my brain went like: "Hey, that's Mahna Mahna", and the love puppets look a bit like the "Da-doo-da-do-do" puppets...

[@ThatChadWithTheAnchorArms]

Classics never Die

[@NecroDingus]

Oh it's a momentary! Full knowing it could be nothing else.

[@gregorytoddsmith9744]

How many different kinds of puppets in Jim Henson’s inspired silliness are there?

[@VanNeuterslove30]

Brotherhood…

[@nathkrupa3463]

😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@RimWulf]

So I think Puppet Wrangler is basically a colloquial term for prop master?

[@tastemakerguidie]

it seems you've won there

[@JohnDlugosz]

I think people younger than a certain age will not find the "slot machine eyes" or the associated sound effects to be meaningful. Just your mentioning of it as "slot machine" instead of the proper "adding machine / cash register" is itself telling. I'm sure to the original audience, this immediately brought to mind the sound and sight of ringing up groceries.

[@freesk8]

The actual people who spend their lives learning dry business concepts are trying to earn money for people they love. They pay for the beauty in someone else's lives. They are the working ants, while the grasshoppers play their violins. And then at the end, we meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. And the grasshoppers take over by force.

[@jimruddy6083]

Pay no attention to person behind the puppet. I am the great and powerful wizard of fun.

Of course he does. Who wouldn't miss someone they were close to for more than a decade, and why would you even think that's a poignant question for this video?
