your favorite gonzo moment!

[BabyScooter]

what is you r favorite gonzo moment? I love when he sing jamboree! and when he say :"I don't get it looked so good in the paper!" Fozzie:'what paper was that?" Gonzo: the wampire veekly! :concern: ;) :)

[superboober]

It would probably have to be his botched water stunt in Manhattan. Not only does he make the thing utterly ridiculous to watch in the first place, but then given how miserably he fails at it and gets nothing more than a free trip across the lake the hard way, it sums up everything about him as a character. :concern:

[heralde]

Jamboree's a big one, always cheers me up!

Gonzo's entire appearance on the Paul Simon episode:

("Oh no wait you can't do this to me! Camilla, this is treason!")

("I stayed up all night working on the leg frying motive!")

Muppets Take Manhattan: "What job am I getting?"

The Muppet Movie:

Of course, "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday"

"I wanna go to Bombay, India and become a movie star!"

And I'm also going to mention Muppet Babies, when he sings his "Camilla" song. So touching!

[minor muppetz]

My favorite moments include...

Gonzo catching a cannonball with his bare hand, John Cleese stretching Gonzo's arms and legs, Gonzo eating a tire, Gonzo balancing a piano, The Wishing Song, holding onto balloons, jumping in front of a taxi, his waterski act, singing Dancing with Myself, and singing Everyone Matters.

[redBoobergurl]

I loved Gonzo most in The Great Muppet Caper. I love the elevator scene "stick your nose in here, it's great!" Hailing the taxi, when he yells "stop the presses" simply because he's always wanted to do it, him and Fozzie playing "pat your head, rub your stomach", anytime he says "say cheese". It's just so hilarious. I love it. :)

[anytimepally]

being that Gonzo is my second favorite Muppet (behind only Cookie Monster), this is the hardest question ever, but here we go:

The Muppet Show:
Demolishing a vintage automobile to the music of the anvil chorus... "anybody can get applause with a hat like that"
"Memory Lane" - this is Dave Goelz's best early muppeteering.. Gonzo's dancing is just great!
the season one episode about his Teddy Bear
"nice legs, though" .. when turning down an auditioning chicken
"Wishing Song" / Falling for Madeline Kahn
the song he wrote for Camilla
"My Way"

The Original 3 Movies:
"I'm Going to Go Back There Someday"
Gonzo as a traveling plumber
the Balloon ride
"STOP THE PRESSES!"
Gonzo hailing a cab
"Kermit, I got a great picture of the chicken"
the elevator scene
"I'd like to try this without a balloon."
giving Camilla mouth-to-mouth resuicitation

A Muppet Family Christmas:
sleeping on a hanger
warning the Turkey about "some guy who spoke Swedish"
fighting with the Turkey over Camilla
my all-time favorite Dave Goelz muppeteering moment is the little eye twitch he does after he says "what a cute little devil I was" after they watch the Muppet Babies video

The Muppet Christmas Carol:
the whole dang movie!
when he uses Rizzo as a squeegie
"Missed."
whispering in Sam's ear after he says "the American way"
"There's a mole on my thumb, and a scar on my wrist, from when I fell of my bicycle!"
"You have all the fun!"

Muppet Treasure Island:
"and my pants are filled with starfish."
"Are we lucky or what?"
"Off to Zanzibar to meet the Zanzibarbarians!"
"Yeah, and they want to KILL us for it! Isn't that exciting?"
when they torture him, and he likes it
"I'll break."

Muppets Tonight!:
"Dancin' With Myself" ... "Only Double? You Should Be Seeing a Lot More Than That!" (I know that quote is Waldorf, but he was in Gonzo's body, so I'm counting it)
when Gonzo offers to put on Clifford's socks

Muppets From Space:
Noah giving him an umbrella
mowing the lawn
dressed up in aluminum foil
"Come on, fellas. Take me to my leader."
Gonzo's goodbye to everyone before he decides to stay
"Why did they ask me to build a jacuzzi?"


It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie:
"That's good cause we lost it."
how much he loves the Cirque du so lame opening number
"Bring home the bacon."
"Yeah! Even if we go broke doing it!"
"Everyone Matters" / Amy, the Dancing Brick
"Come on, Camilla".. for the finale song.. it was good to see them back together after seeing none of it in MCC or MTI :flirt:
I also love that they brought back that sweater from TGMC.. I love that thing

The Muppets' Wizard of Oz:
"I'm not here for that" .. when the wizard turns into a giant chicken
"Nothing. They're my nipples."

[Xerus]

I loved it when Gonzo was eating a tire to music and how he sang the song, Jamboree, and in Muppets From Space when he found his true family and did the audio commentary.

[anytimepally]

I forgot one of my very favorite parts, from The Muppets Wizard of Oz:

"I can see my rear end.. gee, I must be working out!" :concern:

Gonzo rocks!

[minor muppetz]

My favorite moments include...

Gonzo catching a cannonball with his bare hand, John Cleese stretching Gonzo's arms and legs, Gonzo eating a tire, Gonzo balancing a piano, The Wishing Song, holding onto balloons, jumping in front of a taxi, his waterski act, singing Dancing with Myself, and singing Everyone Matters.

I forgot to mention Gonzo's motorcycle act and Car Wash Blues. And I noticed that most of my favorites appear in the compilation video Gonzo presents Muppet Weird Stuff.
