UNLIKELY CYPHERS: THE MUPPETS | THE STUPENDIUM feat. Dan Bull, JT Music, NemRaps, Chi-Chi & More!

[@TheStupendium]

BRIGHT/FLASHING COLOURS WARNING I've been made aware that the bright colours in Dr Teeth's verse at 3:55 might be a problem for people with photosensitivity. I always put a warning at the start of the video if there's any flashing but in this case, though there's no direct flashing light, there is some very intense colour which I've been informed may be a hazard for some people. Please be mindful of this verse in particular! I'm very sorry to anybody affected and I will be more mindful in future!

[@hereisthecringe7391]

Why am I not seeing any comments about the instrumental? Yes, this was an absolute masterpiece, having so many talented creators come together to rap about the iconic Muppets for 7 and a half minutes, but my LORD the instrumental! It just scratches my brain in a way I can just vaguely describe. First, listening without the lyrics really emphasizes which part belongs to which character. Kermit's has a banjo leading it, Animal has drums, Rizzo has a record scratching, and Rowlf has his piano. The tone for each section drastically changes for who's speaking, and I love it. Also, I notice details that are harder to hear with the lyrics, like that echoey "SCIENCE!" that plays during the Muppet Labs part, or that weird little laugh that plays during Lew Zealand's part. I didn't even notice the seemingly obvious applause in Fozzie Bear's part until I listened to the instrumental! I'm definitely listening to every instrumental version Stupes makes from now on, and I recommend you do, too.

Okay, so after listening to this like a dozen times, definitely think that the best part is the instrumental. The fact that it changes for every single character to fit their vibe (Piano for Rowlf, the subtle “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” for Sam, turntable scratches for Rizzo, etc.) goes so far into building each character. Most of the time a cypher instrumental is there just to enhance or provide consistency from one verse to the next. This one, entirely on its own, justifies the entire existence of this video.

I might be slow picking up on this but the genius of "we need some AMERICAN rappers" immediately followed up by an Australian and a Canadian I feel should be noted. Hilarious! 'its hard to soar with eagles when you work with turkeys' is also a burn and a half.

[@drautch]

Sam the Eagle is super underrated

[@alaeriia01]

There's another layer to that one. The turkey was almost the national bird of the US. As always, Stupendium works on more levels than _House of Leaves._

[@roro6729]

Animal's verse was genius with the line, "Yeah, let me kick it back a couple decades and be frank for a sec"! I do have to assume it is a reference to Frank Oz, Animal's original performer from 1975-2000 :]

I actually couldn't stop smiling throughout this entire video. If this series doesn't take off, I'm gonna blow a gasket. All of you guys are so talented and the fact that this exists makes me happier than I can say. Stupe's epic animation and editing skills is icing on the cake.

[@EpicJosh84]

I think I've hit the jackpot. Ciphers of unexpected gangs like The Muppets? With bars like these? Heck yeah! (Hey, that list makes it sound like the Solar System is next?? Pluto and Charon better get their part!) Fantastic work, all of you!

@James Olszewski I think for a future Unlikely Cypher, they should do WWE Legends: Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena, Undertaker, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Macho Man, Ric Flair, Ultimate Warrior, Edge, Eddie Guerrero, Andre the Giant, Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, and Dusty Rhodes.

@@Styx771Swedish Chef mostly speaks in jibberish, with the occasional English and a bit of coherent Danish, though mostly to give humorous names to various food items and cooking utensils. Ironically enough, in the Swedish dub of the Muppets, he’s the only character who doesn’t speak Swedish.

Anyways I thought "hey wasn't detective wasn't one of the unlikely cipher categories?" so I pulled the video up to check and not only is it there, clearly from here the fans too are fond of the notion. So hey, if no one writes a Gadget verse, I got one right here, I'll send it in the mail
