This is, without a doubt, the greatest thing you will see all day. Even if you think Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" is overrated and/or overplayed -- I'm not personally saying it is or isn't, mind you -- I don't know how you could avoid finding a bit of joy in this video. Indeed, perhaps the only group on the planet who can cover this song and engender good will would be the Muppets. But no more talk. Just enjoy. And thank you to the jillions of people who sent in the tip.

That was Fraking GREAT! And the Mahamana guy was in there too! AWESOME!
-
I don't want to give anything away, but the end is pretty clever.
-
I miss Kermit...
-
The doctor from Pigs in Space shows up dancing for about half a second, so that's covered. "....Did that muppet just say "Let me blow?"" Um, yeah, that's Crazy Harry. He blows things up.

Animal, Vegetables, Beaker, News Anchor, and the Mana Mana guys? Those characters alone performing this would get five stars from me. One thing that was missing, however? PIGS. IN. SPAAAAAAAACE!!!!
-
Bravo! Bravo!
-
No words can describe the awesomeness inherent in the concept alone, let alone the video itself.
-
Would the Young Ones (as Bad News) playing Bohemian Rhapsody -- badly, mind you -- engender good will? I think so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wM58YXp2x0
-
They did, twice, it flopped both times
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeFH-QoAPCk i prefer the BoHe-man Rhapsody myself
-
Well with today being the anniversay of Freddie Mercury's death from AIDS this ROCKS!!
-
My first thought when I saw the post title was how in the fuck are they going to handle the "just killed a man" segment? No way will they do that, and this won't work. I cannot express how pleased I am at how they did it and how wrong I was.
-
thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for posting this on one of my worst days in recent memory. this is incredible.
-
Oh, and the above is decidedly NSFW...
-
Not sure if there are any Peaches fans out there, but I saw this a while back...hopefully it hasn't been posted before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aGTNS13SDU
-
Oh hells yeah!
-
Truly gorgeous.
-
loved that espically with Animal going Mama then starting to get upset first time he has said a whole lot. also leave it to piggy to try and make the thing about her. plus love that kermit decided to not take part in the thing only watch and ponder why all his comrads seem to be nuts
-
A pure reminder of why I loved the Muppet Show in its heyday. Awesome.
-
The fact that they threw in older characters like the veggies, the News Anchor, and the Mahna Mahna guys blew my mind. Fucking. Incredible.

My soul has been revived! I remembered that there is still some good in this world! I...just...there are no words.
-
nah, Al edged in front.
-
There is only one word that can properly describe this video. FUCKAWESOME!!! I was wondering where the hell the Electric Mayhem were. When they finally showed up though, it was perfect. Dude, they even had the newscaster guy. So great.

SeptimusWigley The Muppets Studio has been putting out on YouTube Muppet shorts, and this is just the latest. Here is a link to a site listing what has been put out and what is coming: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Virmup

right up there in epic status along side Animal vs Buddy Rich
-
Brilliant. Everything great about the Muppets in one fell swoop. And great to see some old school characters in there, too. Anybody know what this is actually for? I've heard a new movie is coming out next year, and this REALLY raises my hopes for it. MuppetVision 3D still rocks my world, though.
-
Thank you Jesus!
-
I usually hate the Bohemian Rhapsody, but that was awesome. That video just made my day. It even made me forget about the flu that is currently making me feel like crap!
-
This made my day. How awesome is Animal?
-
I'm prety sure the Henson's don't have anything to do with the Muppets anymore.
-
Animal's bit was the best, but really good matching up of the various characters to the bits. They didn't really need to change some of the lines, but an awesome bit overall. Why the Muppets can't be this awesome all the time, I don't know.
-
MOMMMA!
-
Could you link to the video? The embed is only displaying a blank white box on my computer.
-
Okay. I think this even beat out Weird Al's Bohemian Polka. A little bit.
-
*sigh* My happy place is now officially this video.
-
Thank you, Rob. Thank you, tipsters.. I... that just made my year.
-
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! MOVE OVER WAYNE, GARTH, AND FRIENDS! THE MUPPETS ARE BACK IN BUSINESS! THIS WAS REALLY AWEOSOME! IT KICKED ASS! LOVE THE MUPPETS AND QUEEN! AND THEY DID A GREAT JOB ON VOICING THE SONGS! HILARIOUS AND ROCKING AT THE SAME TIME! ;)
-
So awesome in so many ways, it cannot be properly expressed.
-
I'm happy whenever we see the Electric Mayhem playing. The Mahna Mahna guy was a pleasant surprise.
-
I'm not sure which is funnier, Animal's "Mama!" or Beaker's rendition of "Galileo". Bring back the Muppet Show!
-
...and in other news, Brian Henson is FINALLY getting what made the Muppets so fucking awesome when his dad was still alive!!! That doesn't lessen the awesomeness of this to me, but actually doubles it!
-
That was fantastic.
-
HOLY DOG BALLS I JUST CAME.
-
I dunno about overplayed... compared to what, the Titanic song? Personally, I find the UC Men's Octet version to be more entertaining: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyqpjkCwEI4
-
Easily the best video of ever period. PERIOD.
-
Awesome. That's totally in spirit with them as well, with poor Kermit having to try and salvage what was supposed to be productive.
-
That made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Beaker part was classic. Who else could've done that part?? Perfect.
-
Ooooh. I love Animal just singing "Mama!" and looking around confused. Adorable!
-
Strange seeing Dr. Bunsen Honeydew in such a rare moment of vulnerability. There's clearly a lot of pain, there.
