Stop the presses! This Friday, The Great Muppet Caper celebrates its 45th anniversary, and to mark the occasion, we're sharing some of our favorite quotes from the film. Follow along with #GreatMuppetCaper45!

GONZO: Trust me: You are not alone. Each and every one of us is one of a kind. Even if your kind is hard to define, that's okay! ToughPigs' Pride Month fundraiser is still going on! More details at toughpigs.com/pride-2026!

MR. TARKANIAN: The only reason I hired you two jerks was because your old man was a friend of mine. FOZZIE BEAR: Dad spoke well of you too. Happy Father's Day, Muppet fans!

"[My sister] would say, 'What can you do with art? You’ll never make a living doing puppets.' And it was recently that we reminisced about that and, not trying to sound egotistical, I said: 'Do you know that my puppets are all around the world?'" Happy Birthday, Don Sahlin!

"I don't look at writing for children as that different than writing for anybody else. The emotions that you write about are... the same as you would... for anybody. You just do it with a vocabulary of experience that children will understand." Happy Birthday, Jeff Moss!

"Everybody works so hard on our projects and our shows but they enjoy the challenge. They just love it even though they’re working really hard. We all enjoy each other." Happy Birthday, Bill Barretta!

JESSE JACKSON: I am black, brown, white, I speak a different language, but I must be respected, protected, never rejected. I am God's child. I am Somebody. On this Juneteenth, we remember that everyone, regardless of their race, is worthy of respect.

FOZZIE BEAR: When a guy phoned and asked me if I'd like Jean Stapleton, I said that I don't wear jeans, and I certainly wouldn't want them stapled on. Stapleton. Jeans.

STATLER: Oh, for once we got a blast out of something on this show. WALDORF: Yeah, but how do you dig a foxhole in a theater box?

"After we were married, I didn't perform that much... But we had fun back when it was just the two of us." Happy Birthday, Jane Henson!

KERMIT: Yeah, we're all very different — pigs and bears and chickens and whatevers — but what matters is that we love and care about each other and that's what makes us family. There's still time to donate to ToughPigs' Pride Month fundraiser at toughpigs.com/pride-2026!

HAL LINDEN: ♫ You're a grand old flag, you're a high-flying flag, and forever in peace may you wave... ♫ Happy Flag Day, Muppet fans!

"I knew that it was an extraordinary show. I mean to have a chance to work with Frank Oz and Jim Henson and all the Muppets and the writers was a great opportunity." Happy Birthday, Bob McGrath!

"It was such a social force. I never wanted to be on a kids’ show, but I always wanted to be on Sesame Street." Happy Birthday, Sonia Manzano!

"...For all of us who have done Sesame Street for so many years — we’re all a part of a team that’s committed to children and that is such a big part of who we all are as artists and workers. Sesame Street is us." Happy Birthday, Roscoe Orman!

LOUIE ANDERSON: Hey Mo, how are you? MO FRACKLE: Lovin' life. I can taste it. You know that feeling? Yum! We can’t guarantee Mo Frackle will be at this Family Feud, but we can guarantee a good time raising money for a good cause! Tune in tonight at 8 PM Eastern!

STATLER: They don't write the old songs anymore. WALDORF: Nope. They only write new ones. STATLER: Yeah. Wha?

MA GORG: Junior, everything I learned as a tiny princess, I learned at the hairy knee of my mother, Queen Esmerelda, may she shed in peace.

MISS PIGGY: On behalf of moi's self, Kermit, and all of the Muppets — we support you... we believe everyone deserves kindness, respect and decent treatment. Don't forget to donate to ToughPigs' Pride Month Fundraiser! Find out more at toughpigs.com/pride-2026!

"I think the Muppets have always felt alive to people. Unlike other fictional characters, you find yourself wondering 'what's Kermit the Frog up to these days?'" Happy Birthday, Bill Prady!

CLIFFORD: Hey! What's up, what's up! Welcome to Muppets Tonight, the show that has something for every man, woman and child. RIZZO THE RAT: Hey, what about my people? CLIFFORD: Oh yeah, how could I forget our always-important rat population?

"I think Richard [Hunt] was doing a butler, and he had the puppet’s hands behind his back and he was really very funny, but the stuff he was saying off camera was even funnier, he was cracking the crew up. And I just said, 'I want to be that guy!'" Happy Birthday, Joey Mazzarino!

WALDORF: Whoa! Is he all right? STATLER: I dunno. I'll check his pulse. WALDORF: If he's got one, I'll split it with you.

MISS PIGGY: This movie was très fun to make. Of course, my role was not as large as it should be. But, I still had lots of wardrobe changes and that's what matters, isn't it?

"When I saw the Muppets, it was everything I loved combined together—funny, musical, beautifully built sculptures appearing on television. I grew up watching everything the Muppets did and was a big fan of Jim Henson." Happy Birthday, David Rudman!

PEPE: What? He's a handsome man, and gender is fluid. Today marks the kickoff of ToughPigs' Pride Month fundraiser! Find out more at toughpigs.com/pride-2026!

FLOYD: Oh, hey, I was only jokin'! Yeah, it'll be a lot of fun to go out there and risk our lives! #ElectricMayhemWeek

ZOOT: Forgive me, Charlie Parker, wherever you are. #ElectricMayhemWeek

“Working for Sesame Street is like working for the NBA, if you want to play basketball. Jim Henson created the Muppets and also developed Muppets for Sesame Street. He created the style of puppetry. To be a small part of it is an absolute honor.” Happy Birthday, Ryan Dillon!

"I've always enjoyed, more than anything else, bringing things to life, whether it be characters or actors in a scene or moments in movies." Happy Birthday, Frank Oz!

KERMIT: It was 1943. We had come a long way from Pearl Harbor and had a long way to go to D-Day. On this Memorial Day, we remember those who have given their lives in service to the United States of America.

"It was wonderful to try and find that realism and that specificity, especially when you're working [with puppeteers] who all need to think with one brain and really focus on what this creature is thinking, and communicate that for the camera." Happy Birthday, Alice Dinnean!

KERMIT: Are you okay? BEAUREGARD: I think the fuse box bit me.

KERMIT: Hey, Stephen, what is it that makes you, you? STEPHEN COLBERT: Oh, I think it's twelve writers and two hours of makeup.

STATLER: Have we ever said this show is going to the dogs? WALDORF: About a million times.

KERMIT: Well, okay, uh, what's on now? SCOOTER: Oh, uh... Melissa and her magnetic moose. KERMIT: Mm. Magnetic moose, huh? Did you warn the people in the front row about their fillings?

MARTY FELDMAN: I wish to patent an invention. SAM THE EAGLE: Certainly. Chair? FELDMAN: The chair? The chair's already been invented! You have one, look! In perfect working order.

"Please watch out for each other and love and forgive everybody. It's a good life, enjoy it." Remembering Jim Henson, today and every day. 9/24/1936-5/16/1990

OLD MAN: I've put my golfing shoes on by mistake and my feet are killing me! ZELDA ROSE: Oh? Why? OLD MAN: I've put them on inside out.

POPS: Mac Davis! That's right You're the famous singer, songwriter, actor, country-western star! Heh heh! And tap-dancer! That's great! MAC DAVIS: Well, it ain't great, but it sure keeps the cockroaches away.

STATLER: I didn't know they had rock music in those days. WALDORF: Sure! Why do you think they called it the Stone Age?

KERMIT: Oh boy, it's a disaster. SKIER: Doctor, will I ever be able to ski again? ROWLF: Uh, what do you mean "again?"

GONZO: I believe in reincarnation. NURSE PIGGY: Uh, what are you coming back as next time? GONZO: How should I know? I don't even know what I am this time.

"Sometimes, its technique before acting, but I'm gonna say, you know what? A lot of it is acting before technique. They figure something they want to do and, 'Okay, how do we do that with the puppet? How do I make it read with the puppet?'" Happy Birthday, Gord Robertson!
