Kermit the Frog talks politics

After watching Kermit the Frog’s TedX talk, I was inspired to remix him with a Bernie Sanders interview being a fan of both of them. I tried my best to get Bernie’s voice to sync with Kermit’s video but I found it really hard to find clips of both that matched perfectly. I’m currently working on trying to see if I can edit Bernie’s voice a bit so it’s more “Kermit like”.

    I find it humorous that the start of the scene is Kermit drinking from an iced tea, while the news reporter is talking to him.

  2. Dylan says:

    This is great! Kermit’s delivery is very close to what Bernie’s intonation would look like.

  3. Lolita says:

    This was such an interesting spin to make a more political/serious video more lighthearted with Kermit’s presence!

    It looks like Kermit’s actually saying those words! I think the lip-syncing ended up matching quite well

    The two overlapped clips go surprisingly well, this meme remix is creative and memorable.

  6. Oliver says:

    I really enjoyed this and really reminds me of a show called Creature Comforts. I think the lip-syncing works very well and does give the illusion that Kermit is Bernie.

    I find it clever that you’re syncing dialogue with a puppet, since I assume it would more difficult with an animated character or person in live-action.

  8. Han says:

    I like the sheer contrast between Kermit and the news reporter. It just feels random and funny to me.

    I love Kermit a lot and one of my all-time favorite things is seeing Kermit in very strange and uncharacteristic situations. This meme brought a smile to my face and I could totally see myself sharing it with friends

    I love the remix you did here, the overlap matches up perfectly at some points where it blurs the line between a Bernie Kermit and voice over. I think adding Kermit initially drinking tea was a great add too!
