Click on the `Videography` and then click Cosa Restera. There`s a guy with a Kermit hand puppet there.

*Spice World-a Big Bird doll can be seen in the background
*Robots-theres a trashcan and out of it pops a green robot...sounds like an SS Muppet we all know?

...and I remember this one movie I saw on a Chinese channel in Singapore a few years back. There was a clip of Ernie and The Count on a tv set...you know, its been years so my memory is fuzzy.

Inter-Muppet reference: In The Muppets Wizard of Oz, Pepe calls Sam Big Bird.

[Gonzo14]

One of the new Family Guy episodes shows Stewie talking on the Sesame Street phone, it also shows Cookie Monster in Rehab (hahaha)

[Ernie101]

I heard the song " Manha Manha" on a diet cherry coke commercial tonight. Anybody else heard this?

[Gonzo14]

yup, and I think it was Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper

[Mickey Moose]

Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but there was a Sesame Street reference on WWF Raw a few years ago. Shane McMahon was explaining what the letters WCW(World Championship Wrestling) stood for, but also mentioned what else they can stand for. When he got to C, he said "C also stands for Cookie, and that's good enough for me".

Also, when ECW(Extreme Championship Wrestling) was in operation, Rhino was known as the "Rookie Monster". One of the commentators made the joke "Why do they call him the Rookie Monster? He doesn't have blue fur or googly eyes".

Both of those are pretty good. :D

[Ernie101]

I agree, these are pretty funny.

Gonzo, I think it might have been a Diet cherry vanilla dr.Pepper commercial. I looked up when I heard the song.

[Gonzo14]

either way, I know what commercial you're talking about

[Gonzo14]

I might have already mentioned this, but

FAMILY GUY (I mention Family Guy all the time, but there's a lot of quotable stuff)

Peter - "Hey Brian, the Count's kinda like a vampire, have they ever shown him, like, doin someone in"

Brian - "Do you mean have they ever made a Sesame Street where the Count kills someone and then sucks their blood for sustinance"

Peter - "Yeah"

Brian - "No they've never done that"

[theprawncracker]

On The Proud Family Penny was called "The Cookie Monster" by the boot camp seargant in the episode she turned bad.

[Gonzo14]

the muppets have been mentioned on Who's line from time to time

[Convincing John]

Cookie Monster will be appearing on Family Guy tonight...but the cameo might disturb some.:smirk: Anyway, It's on Fox tonight. Here's the link to the episode for those curious:

I Love that Episode

[Blue Weirdo]

And, on Greg the Bunny with Seth Green, the counting vampire said that The Count didn't even have a real accent, that he was from Brooklyn. That was a really good show, what happened to it. It was so inventive.

Greg had the the misfortune of having it's first season during a filler quarter. Basically what this means is a network throws anything on the air to fill time and turns around a cancels them all after one season regardless of ratings. (at least that's more or less what they said on the dvd comentaries -you do know the whole series is out on dvd right?)

there were actually a few Muppet references on that show.

When Greg frist meets Count Blah, Blah tries to shake off what he thinks is another misguided fan,

"Look kid, I'm not the guy from Sesame Street and I don't know Big Bird!"

In another episdoe Warren and Greg were talking next to a buffet table:

WARREN: That Seseme Street hack doens't eve eat the cookies. They just crumble up and fall out of his mouth.
GREG: First sign of bulima.

There was one mroe I don't remember the situation or who said it but the line was, "It's the Fozzie Bear verdict all over again!"

[MuppetDude]

There was one mroe I don't remember the situation or who said it but the line was, "It's the Fozzie Bear verdict all over again!"

It was when Greg was trying to start a new "Puppets Revolution"; Gil commented that this could end up with puppets rioting the streets: "It's the Fozzie Bear verdict all over again."

[Muppet Pro]

On Night Court
Episode: The Birthday Visitor
Harry and the fellow people sit at a restaurant waring Sesame Street birthday hats. Ernie, Big Bird and Cookie Monster.
I was clicking threw the channels and I caught it. I've never seen the show before. So, I had a little help from TV guide.com :)

[muppet maniac]

*Little Britain-at the beginning of the show the announcer says that Britain is the birthplace of some people...forgot them but I did remember him saying Big Bird

*The Man Show-Adam Corola and Jimmy Kimmel are in some sort of lab and one of them has a watch with sliding pictures...and one has Big Bird

*Benny Hill Show-in a sketch taking place on cruise ship, an instrumental of Ma Nah Mah Nah is heard(must be the original one-not the SS/TMS one)

*Malcolm in the Middle-SS theme song from 30th season is heard at the end of an episode--forgot which

*Lethal Weapon 2-there was a Miss Piggy reference

[muppet maniac]

Fairly Oddparents
In the "Channel Chasers" episode, Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda, and Timmy's adult incarnation chase Vicky in different TV shows...in one scene, we see a red brick wall and there's a puppet of Vicky walking and she says "Today's show is brought to you by the letter V" and runs into a tv set.

VH1's "Most Awesomely Bad Hair"
One of the panelists said that Donatello Versaci resembled Janice(or "the little Muppet" as he reffered her to)

Pee-Wee's Playhouse
Pee-Wee opens the fridge and the claymation fruits, vegetables, etc. are watching a clip of Sesame Street from 1990 that has Big Bird rollerskating near Oscar's trashcan area and there's Gordon, Susan and I think Miles sitting at the stoop of the 123 apartment...and at the arbor area there's a Muppet on the crate...might be Elmo I'm not sure because he was too far away so I couldn't tell

A Japanese TV commercial had Ma Nah Mah Nah in it

A commercial I saw for new episodes of South Park a while ago was actually a spoof of an old SS bit...with the ball going through the roller coaster and landing on an icecream sundae(anyone remember that one?)

Under One Roof(Singaporean sitcom)-I've seen two of the cast members wear Ernie and Oscar t-shirts

On The Pyramid Game(game show in Singapore), the category was "What Miss Piggy Would Say" and a lady quotes what she would say

My Date with the President's Daughter-some boys are at a music store and one of them was playing with magic linking rings and another thought that it was lame, but he says it isn't...and another said that he "used to like Sesame Street"

Family Feud(old episode from 70s)-Host is...how do I say this..."flirting" with one of the female contestants and he says "I'm a Cookie Monster"

And this one isn't Muppets or Henson, but it's CTW

On Family Guy, Peter asks his boss to come over at his house for dinner to negotiate about some things at work. But he's really nervous because if he screws up, he will have to go back to his old job at the electric company, and it cuts to a blue background and shadows of Peter and another guy forming words

Man: D
Peter: ...ot
Both: Dot
Man: P
Peter:...it
Man: Pit
(Peter tells him to slow down. The next words are bet and fat. Peter gets offended and he beats the guy up)

[AAO]

On a few episodes of the final season of "Friends" Rachel (Jennifer Anniston) wore a "Cookie Monster" t-shirt.

[AAO]

There was also another reference on "Friends" - Ross accidentally knocked down a little girl scout and broke her leg. Later at "Central Perk" Chandler told everyone about Ross's accident. Ross walks in and Chandler begins to read the paper.

Chandler: "Humm..it says a Muppet got wacked on Sesame Street last night. You didn't have anything to do with that did you Ross?"

Another reference comes from "Cheers" - Diane, Frasier, and Sam are fighting in the back office. Diane keeps telling Frasier how stupid Sam is.

Diane: "This is the man whose only goal in life was to stay up to speed saying the alphabet with Big Bird! And even that didn't work out for him!"

[KermieBaby47]

Chandler: "Humm..it says a Muppet got wacked on Sesame Street last night. You didn't have anything to do with that did you Ross?"
Ha-ha-ha!!!

I don't remember that one, do you know the title of that episode? I can hear Chandler saying just that, hilarious! ;)

[AAO]

It's Season 3 - I think it's "The One Where Rachel Quits" - I'm pretty sure. Cuz it's a Christmas related episode - Ross has to sale the girl's girl scout cookies so she can go to "Space Camp" - Rachel quits Central Perk - Joey works at a "Christmas Tree" outlet and Phoebe tries to save the dying trees. Monica doesn't want to buy the cookies from Ross cuz that's how she got fat in the first place when she was a kid, being a girl scout...Again, I hope that's the episode....LOL! I'm a HUGE "Friends" fan!

[muppet maniac]

Wheel of Fortune: One puzzle was read as this: "Ernie, Bert, and Oscar the Grouch". Forgot what the category was. Ah well

Miss Congeniality 2: Sandra Bullock is dresed in feathers and says that she's from the FBI, but the driver tells her "Get lost, Big Bird!"

Lean on Me: Mr. Clark gets in some sort of big trouble and the guy yelling at him says that he's "like a Big Bird with a radar"

ET:Letter B cartoon is seen on TV. And also there is a clip of Big Bird and Grover

Someone on the alt+tv sesame street message board said that there was a sketch spoofing Sesame Street on SCTV(Second City Television-anyone remember that show?)

Kids Say the Darndest Things: A boy says that he imitates everyone on TV. He mentions that he imitates characters from Barney and Sesame Street

Japanese show(can't remember which or what type it was)played the techno remix of the SS theme song

Another one...same as above...one had a Kermit doll

"60-second life story" segment on the TV Guide Channel. Saw this in 2003...guy says something about getting an Oscar(as in the award, but they showed an Oscar the Grouch cookie jar). It's been a while so yeah.

*Home Alone-Kevin and the old guy that he feared about but not anymore talk in a church...and Kevin says that he got a Big Bird sweater once.

*I cant remember the show, but some girl is at a hotel receptionist counter and the guy there mentions his name is Ernie(or Bert cant remember) and she asks "Wheres (B/E cant rememeber how it went ah man it would help a lot if I remembered)

*Chapelle's Show-Saw this on a commercial once: He's being born...and says "Wocka Wocka!"

*A Muppet Babies reference on Best Week Ever

*at the beginning of a vh1 show---again cant remember which...announcer says "its the two-headed monster that would not die" and in another...about fashion or something dont know what...panelist said that a lady looked like a cross between Snuffy and someone else.

*Best Week Ever-on a discussion about Van Helsing, there was a Count reference

*Another thing on Best Week Ever: they were talking about Team America World Police. One guys like "Jim Henson never dreamt of this!" nd they talked about what they left out of the movie: Full Kermit(and a guy asks if they had a Piggy 9)and Gobo Fraggle. In another episode, they were talking about Desperate Housewives, and one of the panelists joke that one of the cast members appears on an upcoming episode of Sesame Street(and they showed a picture of Grover)

Some comic strip had Ernie and Bert in suits, and there's Big Bird. There were two-same picture, different dialogues. One of them had Bert telling Big Bird that a chef is looking for the biggest "wing". nd I remember seeing a little blurb that read "Apologies to Jim Henson"

The Muppets have been on MAD magazine a couple of times:
*Reality Street-illustrated by Sesame illustrator Jack Davis. This was from the early 1970s I believe. It had Big Bird teaching kids how to count tax money, Grover reading ingredients at the back of a cake box to Cookie Monster, thus making him go bizerk; Oscar moves out of his can and into some junk pile in the street, Ernie and Bert discuss parties(it went something like "By the time the party starts at eight, you should always get ready at nine"), Ernie and Herry play with a phone, Gordon teaches us about the letter P(one of the words was psychadelic) and the number 5(five bombs, five people with different opinions, etc.)...and at the end some guys wreck the street and there's Gordon, with the Muppets I mentioned, asks to the reader "Get the picture kiddies?" Oh and in this Ernie was called Curt, Oscar was called Ookie, Cookie was called Cakemonster, Big Bird was Dirty Bird, Bert was Bernie(I think), and Herry was Scary(or something like that)
*Sesame Street Goes to the Mafia(remember seeing this once)
*Oscar is seen in the background in a comic about Star Wars
*And theres another one with Oscar...only he's in an office
*Big Bird is seen holding a phone(something about a PBS pledge drive...cant remember)
*Big Bird is seen in a PBS studio
*New Sesame Street characters that better reflect today's society-Scarecroe has this image
*PBS program guide-one was "Sesame-E-Street, and there's Big Bird in a suit and sunglasses, with Bert, Grover, Oscar, and several other Muppets...
*Simon Cowell is seen with Big Bird, Oscar and Grover, saying that he's "seen better comebacks from a sock puppet"(or something like that)
*Several Muppet Show characters are seen in the background...cant remember which comic it was. Ah well
*Big bird, ernie, bert, and grover...im not gonna say this because this is just too wrong.
*the count is seen drinking a bottle of blood
*that sesame street spoof with the count counting childrens books, big bird being forced to put on pants, rosita gets fired...
...and if anyone else can do the rest that would be nice

Not sure if these count, but anyway...
*Codename Kids Next Door-there's an episode with a dentist named Dr. Teef...does that remind you of anyone?
*The Simpsons-I remember seeing an old lady drop her head on the piano. In Scooby Doo 2, after some sort of news report, Fred bangs his head on the steering wheel. Both kinda reminded me of how Don Music does the thing with the piano.

[Mickey Moose]

I don't know if these have been mentioned yet or not.

Watching the first volume of the Garfield and Friends cartoon, one of them features mutant guppies that live in the sewer. At the end, one says to the other "Let's see if we can get a guest spot on Muppet Babies". Or something like that.

Another I just remembered. On an episode of Night Court, Dan was being propositioned for a bribe by a judge. The judge thought Dan was on the take, Dan thought the judge was corrupt. When the two cops busted in the room(each thought the other was guilty), one cop looks at the other and says "Bert?" The other says "Ernie?"

Ok, on yesterday's Family Guy, Stewie was baptized with contaminated Holy water, and had to be quarantinned in a plastic bubble. After Brian pushed him out of the door, he like went rolling off. Later on he rolls up next to Peter and Lois after Peter's started a church worshipping the Fonz, and he says, "You won't believe what I've been through." After that happens, they cut to the segment of Sesame Street with the pinball machine and the counting 1-12. With Stewie as the pinball they go through the whole thing with the number being 12.

It was freaking hillarious!!

[Clean Gultch]

That was awesome. I'm glad they used the real audio too. And the animation was spot on. Save for Stewie in the ball, that was about as close to seeing a classic Sesame Street skit on network television as you could get.

[Kimp the Shrimp]

I Don't Think It Is "actual". Ctw Would Not Grant Premissson For Cookie Monster To Be On Crack

[Infinity Sirius]

When they were smaller, did anyone else want to shrink down and actually go inside the pinball machine and see what it was like inside?

[Kimp the Shrimp]

Nope but i did want to be on SS

[Drtooth]

Actually, I was more or less wondering how the shell a pinball machine can have 2 levels. Unless the gag is that it's imagining what's happening to the ball when it's in a pit.

>>I Don't Think It Is "actual". Ctw Would Not Grant Premissson For Cookie Monster To Be On Crack<<

The Cookie Monster reff isn't "actual," so it must fall into a sort of parody loophole. The Pinball Number count, however, using the audio, or even the real tune (original recording or not) would have to have been authorized by SW or whomever owns the copywrite to the music.

[muppet maniac]

Trash of the Titans

I have seen that episode, but the reference wasnt there. Someone posted it before and it went like this:

a young Homer Simpson (with some huge Drums that you would see in a marching band and talking to some young ladies) says "Hi, I'm Homer J. Simpson, You might know me as one of The Beatles, And I'm also Oscar The Grouch, So anyone want to go out with me? (young ladies walk away)

Last night on SNL, there was a sketch about a Scandinavian cooking show on the Food Network, and the host of the show were played by Seth Meyers and Scarlett Johannson, and Seth Meyer's character made refernece to the sterotypical view of Swedes from America's Muppet Show. Then when they went to a word from their sponsers, they had Andy Samberg dressed as the Swedish Chef and they were advertising Swedish Chef ringtones, where he was doing his Borks and whatnotto the tune of "Axel F" it was pretty funny!:D

[Kimp the Shrimp]

Yeah i Just saw that

[muppet maniac]

Here's the video for the Sesame Street parody on MAD TV:

[Dantecat]

That sure is a pretty funny video.Even Statler and Waldorf appear at the ending where TMS Curtains are.:)

[rexcrk]

Wow who did Statler and Waldorf in that clip? They were pretty good!

[muppet maniac]

Family Guy

Model Misbehavior-Before the skit w/ Cookie Monster in rehab, Stewie asks Brian to come into his office and the Sesame Street phone rings. On the phone are 4 buttons with pictures of Big Bird, Ernie, The Count, and Grover. Stewie answers the phone and it's Grover calling(voice not heard), saying that the letter G and number 6 are wonderful. Then Stewie hangs up because he(Grover)wouldn't stop shouting. Notice that on the phone in another shot, Grover is replaced by Oscar.

Wow who did Statler and Waldorf in that clip? They were pretty good!

Yeah I know! They sounded exactly like the originals. I wonder if the guys doing their voices would like to be Muppeteers for them(speaking of which, what was this story I heard about months ago...this Disney recasting thing... what was all that about? People said that it was a bad thing. I want to know why.

[muppet maniac]

I just saw an episode of Seinfeld(I'm now getting into that show now)and I think I've heard some reference to Statler and Waldorf...I don't know. Might have to check again. Something about some person going in and heckling another, and something about puppets being mentioned during that talk...

The Cookie Monster reff isn't "actual," so it must fall into a sort of parody loophole. The Pinball Number count, however, using the audio, or even the real tune (original recording or not) would have to have been authorized by SW or whomever owns the copywrite to the music.

I just saw the Pinball clip, and thought it was pretty good. Funny how Cookie says "I" instead of "me" in the rehab sketch.

And about the Sesame Street phone...I think that the character who's on the phone is actually supposed to be Oscar. Why? Because Stewie said that he'd call him back if he "calms down/stops shouting" And who do we know on SS shouts and never calms down? I think you all know who. Maybe the animators got the two characters mixed up so that's why the picture on the phone changed. Maybe :grouchy:

[Kimp the Shrimp]

it was grover



Miss piggy was on this weeks American Dad 1/29/06

[muppetwriter]

Man! Seth MacFarlane is downright insane!:crazy:

I saw the episode of "Family Guy" where Cookie Monster was in rehab earlier tonight on FOX, and that had to be the funniest Muppet bit that I've seen on that show yet.

I think that episode's on the recent "Family Guy" volume dvd that they came out with late last year. I've got it, and I'm going to watch it again.:)

[beaker]

How many Muppets has Family Guy shown?

Bunsen and Beaker
Bert and Ernie
Cookie Monster
The Count

on the sister tv show American Dad, they had Big Bird, Elmo and Grover.
Family Guy has also had two different Sesame Street counting sketches...there's probably more references I'm forgetting. all I need them to do is reference Fraggle rock, and I'd be happy.

to date the only mainstream media thing that has referenced Fraggle Rock, if I recall, was a 1999 episode of Friends.

[Kimp the Shrimp]

when was Grover on American Dad?

[theprawncracker]

Family Guy has referenced Fraggle Rock! On the episode where Peter inherit's Lois' dead aunt's mansion he says "Come back! This is where the pilgrims landed at Fraggle Rock!"

[ChinoXL]

Family Guy has referenced Fraggle Rock! On the episode where Peter inherit's Lois' dead aunt's mansion he says "Come back! This is where the pilgrims landed at Fraggle Rock!"

muppet maniac, I am a big fan of the simpsons and the lady playing the organ drops her headon it after playing "in the garden of enden" by (in reverend lovejoy's words) "I-Ron Butterfly." (I beleive they were spoofing a real song/band) Although, I do recal rowlf droping his head on his piano in the first season, so yeah, that could be a reference. Also, in the one where PBS is after homer, Elmo, Big Bird and Oscar are after him. And a direct muppets reference was muppets go medeival with troy mcclure. All that was on the simpsons. I feel like a know-it-all now :(

Here's the accurate list:

Ernie
Speaking/appearance: Homicide Life on Sesame Street
Voiceover/name mention: I Never Met the Dead Man
Background prop: Model Misbehavior
Name mentioned: (Valerie Bertinelli...see Bert)

Bert
(same as first above)
Name mentioned: (forgot which episode)

Big Bird
Speaking/appearance: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Bucks
Background prop: Model Misbehavior
Name mentioned: I Never Met the Dead Man

Cookie Monster
Speaking/appearance: Model Misbehavior

Oscar the Grouch
Background prop: Model Misbehavior

Grover
Background prop/name mentioned: Model Misbehavior

The Count
Speaking/appearance/name mention: Family Guy Viewer Mail #1-Super Griffins
Background prop: Model Misbehavior

Bunsen Honeydew
Speaking/appearance: Jungle Fever

Miss Piggy
Background prop: Brian Does Hollywood

There was even an old man who bears close resemblence(look/voice)to Statler.

Brian Does Hollywood-frog doll-reference to Kermit; Homicide Life on Sesame Street: green filth in trashcans-Oscar, Peter is shaped like Beaker in Jungle Fever;

The characters who have appeared on American Dad(never sen it, but heard of it), are as follows:

Big Bird
Cookie Monster
Elmo
Miss Piggy(recently)

[muppet maniac]

Just remembered that the episode Bunsen was in was "Jungle Love", not Fever.

[Sgt Floyd]

On mythbusters jaws special, they were building a big shark head, and said the material they were using is the same stuff the muppets were made out of. Later, they refer to the shark head as their "shark muppet"

Dave Chappelle has just done a spoof of Oscar the Grouch named Stinky the Grump.

I am assuming that this sketch was from Wonder Showzen(that show on MTV 2 which is a dark, twisted takeoff on Sesame Street), but here it is:

It's a PSA about the Avian flu, and there is a red bird(puppet)named Burt Flu: the Bird with Bird Flu. Throughout the clip Burt teaches us about what the disease is, how not to get it/what to do etc. Anyway, he then tells us that his brother "Big Bird" Flu will give us more details/Do's and Don'ts and it cuts to a park, and there is "Big Bird" Flu(full-body character, like BB)almost featherless, coughing and then dies...without giving the lecture as Burt said he would, and so he continues.

You can see the video here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqPk4xvTBGo&search=WonderShowzen

:smirk:

[Kimp the Shrimp]

it is wonder showzen


A dj named Doom does two raps with BERT & Ernie in them

[muppet maniac]

In the pilot episode of Wonder Showzen, there is a doctor who looks a lot like Bunsen Honeydew...with eyes.

And a mustache.

To see the clip, go to You Tube and find "Kidz Show"(it's almost at the very end of the episode)

Last night on the "King of Queens", Robert Goulet is telling Doug about the time he worked with Jamie Lee Curtis on a muppet special. He says they sang a song with Fozzie Bear. Don't know if it's true, but that was a funny reference.

PLEASE READ PAST POSTS THIS HAS BEEN MENTIONED 100'S OF TIMES

Well SORRY! I'm Sure a mod can delete it! But theres no reason to get snappy! But do you really think I would read all 312 pages? Sure, maybe I should have looked more carefully, but really, was there any need to yell?

[Kimp the Shrimp]

i wasn't yellin' i had caps lock on

[scooter289]

last night on SNL, Lindsay lohan was the host and during a TV Funhouse cartoon, there was a reference to the Muppets. It was about how so many sequel movies are going into the Disney vault. So they made parody of that by having a movie called "Inside the Disney Vault" where these kids are taken into the vault with Mickey Mouse with a bunch of ridiculous sequels to a bunch of Disney movies. Then they discover the frozen head of Walt Disney,and other things such as a version of "Song of the South" that he (Walt) showed at parties and Mickey mentioned it's not something to be proud of. They then find this sheet and pull it to unveil that Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog were tied up and locked inside the vault! I can't remember what exactly Mickey said after that because I was laughing so much.

:)

[Timotheus]

This is not a movie or TV reference, but I read in a newspaper that when Carrot Top *shudder* came to the Coronado Theater (the beautiful and beloved theater in my hometown of Rockford, IL), he said, in reference to the style of the decorations, "Look! It's the Muppets."

Ok, I'll go crawl back into my little hole in the ground now...

[Tim Kelly]

The preview for the next episode of Wonder Showzen looks like they're going to do a parody of Muppet Babies.

[AndyWan Kenobi]

The SNL thing last night was very funny. What Mickey said, when they found Jim and Kermit tied up, was "He wouldn't sell! He wouldn't sell!"

:)

[Daylight]

On a recent episode of Doctor Who, when the Doctor and Rose were trying to travel to 1979, the Doctor was talking about the great things of 1979 and he mentioned the Muppet Movie saying he really loved it.

[Kimp the Shrimp]

Americain Dad DVD came out yesterday, But the real news is taht there is a deleted family guy scene on there about Lois being able to "sleep with Kermit the Frog"


Lois, we've been over this! You can only have sex with three other people besides me: Darth Vader, John Schneider, and THAT guy!"
Kermit standing in the doorway: "I get to have sex with Lois? YAAAAAAAAYYY!!"

Kinda like the " deepthrout" Parody 2 wks ago

[Kimp the Shrimp]

Also On The 4/21 Episode Of Wonder Showzen (mtv2)

They Did A 2 Min Muppet Babies Parody

[maniacal muppet]

On one episode of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, an out of control car crashes into a dumpster and it falls over and an Oscar like character comes out of the dumpster stunned.

P.S.- Sorry if this reference has been mentioned before.( I didn't have the patients to look through all of the pages.)

Bear from BITBBH makes a cameo appearance in this month's issue of MAD Magazine in the Broke Back Mountain spoof.

Go to Muppet Wiki and access the category: Muppet Mentions for a complete list of every TV/Film etc that have mentioned/spoofed Muppets.

[Sgt Floyd]

Uh...on Pimp my ride, Xzibit (spelling?) says that the interior of this one car was "big Bird" yellow, if that counts as a reference

[muppetsforever]

On PBS (well duh) :D maybe someone can help me with this....

on pbs, the have there own self promotin comercial. it stats with an old clip from SS with Kermit and a kid and shows all kids of clips from various shows on pbs. all the while someone is singing a remake of the rainbow conection. I think it sounds like sarah mclachlan. It is absolutly beautiful.

can anyone confirm this?

[Drtooth]

I was watching the show Maya and Miguel once... and on the episode where they lose their pet parrot in school, Maya looks in a trunk to see if he's there, and something interresting pops out. I waited for this episode to air again, and after 3 viewings I found out what it was....Dr.Teeth's EXACT arm. Not kidding. It looks just like it... green hand, frilly cuff, red and blue-ish (purple-ish... ) sleeve.

[muppetsforever]

They then find this sheet and pull it to unveil that Jim Henson and Kermit the Frog were tied up and locked inside the vault! I can't remember what exactly Mickey said after that because I was laughing so much.

:)

Mickey said, " He wouldn't sell! He wouldn't sell!!" ( in an almost sobing explanation)

[Vic Romano]

On the Howard Stern Show, producer Gary Dell'abate, is constantly teased by song parodies where they replace the lyrics with his nickname "Bababooey". On his new home on Sirius satelite radio, they've used both "Mahna Mahna" and "The Muppet Show theme song".

[Sgt Floyd]

I got another mythbusters one! A few weeks ago, during the "Crimes and Mythdemeaniors part 2" episode. They were testing that by covering yourself in something to absorb sound, you can get by this cetain alarm. Anyway, The one decided to try using shag carpet, and it bright yellow. She said she'll look like a puppet in it and the guy at the store said "You'll look like big bird"

[Muppet Newsgirl]

I've got one...but it isn't exactly funny. In fact, it's the exact opposite.

It was an episode of the documentary show 'Forensic Files.' In addition to the Muppets, my all-consuming interests include detective work and forensic science, and FF is one of my favorite shows.
This episode was the story of a little girl who was kidnapped during a Christmas party in 1989 or 1990. To this day, they still haven't found her, but they caught the guy who did it.
The investigators had only a few clues: for example, the girl had been wearing a fancy blue sweater with a Big Bird patch on the front. They tried to find a copy of it to compare with fibers found in the suspect's car, but couldn't...but then the wife of one of the detectives remarked that J.C. Penney was the only store that carried a Sesame Street line of high-end kids' clothes.
Because of that, the detectives were able to get a sample of the sweater and match it up to the fibers. And that's how they caught the guy.

Sad story, yes, but it's nice to know that in a way, the Muppets helped snag a criminal.

[Vic Romano]

The Muppets and the Discovery Channel, what a lovely marriage! :flirt:

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Actually, FF airs on Court TV. Close, though.

[Skye]

You're right, Erin... that may not be funny, but it is really, really interesting. And kinda weird. But hey, I guess the Muppets come in handy all over the place!

[Frogster]

Am I the only one who caught, on "My Name Is Earl" that Earl's best friend mentioned he collected the Palisades Muppet figures? Also, I think at one point, Earl's ex-wife said that his voice sounded like a gay Kermit.

[Vic Romano]

Earl's ex-wife said that his voice sounded like a gay Kermit.

Ok guys, I just went through all 23 pages and I didn't see this reference listed. Anyone remember My So Called Life? At the end of the episode
ON THE WAGON, Rayanne sings the Sesame Street theme

The Swedish Chef makes a brief and silent appearance on the opening spread of a parody "Yell's Kitchen" in the latest issue of MAD Magazine.

[MuppetMarc]

I saw that! I pointed that out to everyone that was in the car wiht me when I was reading it.

[Morgan Clueless]

I hope no one mentioned this yet, but a couple of weeks ago, there was a reference on Late Night with Conan O'Brian called "Vomiting Kermit". It's basically a large Kermit doll that spews fake vomit from its mouth.

[Morgan Clueless]

Oh, and I almost forgot! About last week or so on the Soup, they showed a clip of Sesame Street, involving a "Hairy Godfather". And, um... Yeah. And Joe McHale said something like, "I love your hair, Snufflagupuss!"

I think I've seen him before, he's a semi regular character, right?

I saw that with my wife and asked if I knew anything about it, and I said no, but I'm sure someone on MC would!

[Morgan Clueless]

I hadn't really seen any other episode with the Vomiting Kermit until then, so I don't really know.

I saw that with my wife and asked if I knew anything about it, and I said no, but I'm sure someone on MC would!

You mean about The Soup or the clip? :confused: Dumb question, I know.

~ Morgan "Loves Snuffy's Hair" Goat

[Teheheman]

Oh god, Vomiting Kermit. lol, That's a great character. I've seen that on a few episodes, including a Xmas episode where he spews egg nog, and he keeps going even if the fake vomit is gone and water's coming out. There was an episode where he spewed egg nog, and Kevin Spacey was on, and the stuff was still on the floor. Kevin Spacey showed how a Rock star throws a tantrum and threw the chair and it landed in the Kermit vomit. It was fricken hilarious, I'll look for it on the new Google/Youtube

yea in one of the first episodes I saw of the show his dumb buddy was standing at a vending machine and it had muppet dolls in it and he was talking about muppets.
And in another episode his x steals a truck with a guy inside and Earl talks in a fake British accent and she says that he sounds like a gay kermit the frog hahahaha

[Mickey Moose]

Last night on WWE Smackdown, Brian Kendrick used a move that's hard to describe, but the announcers said he calls the move "Dr. Teeth". I have to assume he had the Muppets in mind when he named the move.

[Mickey Moose]

This past week on Naked News Daily Male(which airs on OutTV here in Canada, so technically this counts), during their blooper segment, one of the anchors was reciting a nursury rhyme(I think it was Mary Had a Little Lamb), and he messed up at the end(either on purpose or not), and he started hitting his head against his clipboard saying "Oh I'll never get it, never never!!!" in what I have to assume is his impression of Don Music.

[Teheheman]

Naked? Man, I have GOTTA move to Canada.

[Big Bird Fan]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet. Last night on American Idol we saw Big Bird's long lost cousin, as Ryan put it. I'll just let the clip explain itself...

[Morgan Clueless]

Also on American Idol (before "Big Bird's Long-lost Cousin"), there was a short clip of a contestant doing a Kermit impression. It was very brief, though, so I don't remember what he sang.

[Mickey Moose]

Last night on WWE Smackdown, King Booker was reviewing Kane's movie "See No Evil", making fun of it, saying he's been more scared watching the Muppets.

[Teheheman]

They just did something on Family Guy about having "raw sounding Muppets" "That's like my specialty and junk" "Yay"

Daniel

[Daffyfan2003]

I actually posted a comment on that one. I won't repeat what I said here, but if anyone wants to take a look it's at the general animation forum.

[Stix]

Tonight I watched 'Hot Fuzz' at the cinema, it's a new British film from the makers of 'Shaun of the Dead'.
There was a funny Muppets reference;

"I always wanted to be a police officer... except in 1978 when I wanted to be kermit the frog"

the character then goes on to elaborate on being a cop, and his friend eventually says

"shame... you would have made a good muppet"!

[Blue Weirdo]

In Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode 104 "Women of the Prehistoric Planet" at one point as the movie shows a spaceship traveling through the stars Joel shouts out, "Pigs In Spaaaaaaaace!"

[ISNorden]

Did anyone else catch the "Family Guy" episode with Peter and the cop character discovering seven, ahem, bad girls in Quagmire's house? The cop mentions how many there are, then a voice-over chorus of kids sings 1-7 as numbers appear near the girls. Not quite a Muppet reference, but it is a classic Sesame Street one... :)

[Drtooth]

In today's episode of "Emperor's New School" Kronk made a "Rubber Duckie" refference...

He said something to the extent of

I got up and took a spongebath with Chubby Duckie. He's my little friend who is Cute. And He's Yellow... and he's chubby...

It wouldn't have been a refference if he didn't say those exact words.

[Speed Tracer]

There's a quick Kermit reference in the great film Hot Fuzz, in theaters now.

Danny Butterman: So what made you want to become a policeman?
Nicholas Angel: Officer.
Danny Butterman: What made you want to become a policeman officer?
Nicholas Angel: I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be a police officer, except for the summer of 1979 when I wanted to be Kermit the Frog. I remember when I was five, my uncle Derek bought me a police pedal car. There wasn't a minute of the day I spent out of that car. I went around arresting kids much bigger than me. I got beaten up a lot, but it didn't stop me.
Danny Butterman: Man, he sounds like a great guy!
Nicholas Angel: Not really, he sold drugs to a bunch of youths, probably bought the pedal car with the proceeds.
Danny Butterman: What a [expletive].
Nicholas Angel: Naturally, I never went near it again. I just left it there in the yard to gather rust. But I never lost the profound sense of right and wrong I felt behind the wheel of that pedal car. And I always wanted to be a police officer, from that moment on.
Danny Butterman: Oh. Shame, really...
Nicholas Angel: How so?
Danny Butterman: I think you would have made a great Muppet.

[Drtooth]

I don't know how official this one is, if it's a coincidence or not, but there were 2 old guys on a bench on King of the Hill that looked like Statler and Waldorf...

The one that looked like Statler said "They've finally come to kill us."

the Waldorf looking one said
"I liked it better back when you could stick them in factories."

Seems like a reference to me.

haha you know I thought the same exact thing! Crazy makes you wonder if it was ment to be them.

[The Count]

Hey guys... Watching NFL Sunday Morning Countdown on ESPN... Just before they went to commercial at around 11:50 AM EST, there was a Muppet appearance.
Kermit showed up saying "Hi-ho, Kermit The Frog here saying it's not easy being green in the NFL."
Maybe he'll show up again later, keep a googly eye open!

[The Count]

Wow! What a fun segment with Kermit.

He opened his piece singing his green song, slightly modified for the football piece.
"When I think it would be nicer.
Being blue, or red white and blue, or silver.
Or something much more colorful like that."
He then talked out the second verse of the song... Mentioning that he knows what it's like being green and handled roughly around the pigskin.

Kermit then went on location in a semi-reporter role to Times Square.
Kermit: "They say there's a bright light in Broadway for every broken heart. I wonder how many of those broken hearts belong to Jets fans."
The people at Times Square were upset with QB Chad Pennington.

Guy on the Street: "He doesn't have any arm strength."
Kermit: "Yeah, no arm strength, that's something I know about."

Kermit then went over to Gino's at Philadelphia to get some more interviews and a good cheese steak sandwich.
There was a guy who said that maybe the Eagles should change their green to be like Kermit's to bring them some luck.
I say give that man a raise.
The segment ended with Kermit taking on the statue of Rocky Balboa, "I finally made it, yo Adrian!"

All in all, a great performance by da' frog-in-chief.

[ZootyCutie]

Just curious, in the Homestar Runner toon "Where's The Cheat?" Marzipan has a sandwich that she believes talks to her. Is this a reference to Muppets From Space? Here's the toon:
http://homestarrunner.com/whereis.html

[The Count]

Could be... Then again, not necessarily. Just cause there's talking food of any kind doesn't have to be a reference to any Muppet food.
Thanks for the find though... Warp on to Level 9 Maddie.

[ZootyCutie]

I found this, but I'm not sure if it should count or not. On the TV movie "Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure", the drummer in the number "Scary-O" looks and plays the drums a lot like Animal. Should this be counted? Here's the song, but the quality's not that good.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=vt9heP9VV8E

[TheJimHensonHour]

sorry but I really don't think that thing looks much like animal at all nice looking characters though some others are rather in the same 70s vein as the muppets though it would seem same goes for fosters home.

[Drtooth]

Actually, I disagree. You see, it was clearly inspired by animal, and it could just be one of those "we had to change the look or we'd get sued" type deals

Here's the image (http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb174/drslumptooth/drum.jpg)

I wouldn't put it past Maxwell Atoms to have a muppet reference. He once had "Manah Manah" on his Myspace page.

[The Count]

Well... There was an episode of Grim Adventures called Puddle Jumping, where Billy ends up at the swamp where a swamp witch fishes him out to turn him into a pie. When Billy first arrives at the swamp, he asks where is he? And why is there a frog playing the banjo? An alligator promptly devours the reference to our frog-in-chief.

[BeakerSqueedom]

LOL! I remember that reference...
poor poor frog.

I love that show.

*Flees*

[The Count]

You too?
Dracula says you get back here girl!
Hush up Drac.
Nobody tell Dracula what to do. Only Dracula tell Dracula what to do.
You'll scare that headache out of her.
Dracula don't care bout no headache.
That makes two of us.

*Dracula walks off to the early bird special buffet.
Oh great, now he's gone off.
Hey Clauds, wait up! *Pumpkin cab pulls up to take Claudia and Ed back to the dorms.

I still dont see how it looks anything like animal.
A monster playing the drums does not an animal make.
It looks more like a rabbid muppaphone playing the drums to me.

[Drtooth]

I just watched a Duck Dodgers cartoon called "Too Close for Combat," where at the end, the Martian Queen orders her drones to paint Marvin (long story) green.

The Drone says "Sorry, Commander. It's not easy being painted green!"

Should this count? I've noticed that Puppet Homestar Runner laughs like our frog-in-chief. Here's him doing such.
http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail96_puppet.swf

[TheJimHensonHour]

Last weeks episode of Drawn Together was called "Drawn Together Babies" the opening part and most of the episode was a spoof of Muppet Babies.

[ZootyCutie]

No idea if this should count, but I feel that it might be a reference. In the first issue of the manga Sgt. Frog, one of the characters, Natsumi Hinata, says this quote about Keroro, an alien frog:

"We do have lives to live, you know. We don't have time to mess around with aliens... or whatevers."

[theprawncracker]

I can't believe this hasn't been brought up yet. But in the new Dreamworks film "Bee Movie" Fozzie gets a mention! :excited:

"But bears are cute and adorable... Yogi Bear, Fozzie Bear-"

Fantastic reference. Of all the bear icons they could've picked, they picked the funniest.

:boo: : Yeah, says you!

[theprawncracker]

NEW FAMILY GUY REFERENCE! :excited:

Stewie was thinking to himself and his voice was echoing inside his head.

"Oh, this is cool, I like this, this sounds cool. ...Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigs iiiiiiiiiiiin Spaaaaaaaaaaaaace!"

SO COOL!

[The Count]

Yeah... Saw that meself. Stewie was gloating about murdering Lois in his internal thoughts with his internal thought voice.
"This is perfect, noone suspects it's me. Oh, my voice sounds cool in here. Heeello, hello, hello..."
And then he does like the Announcer at the end of Pigs In Space.
Dr. Bob: You know, we have him at the hospital too.

[TheJimHensonHour]

I have another odd one not sure if it's been brought up yet but on the Office first season box set during the commentary they're making fun of Pam and they tell BJ who's doing the voice that he sounds Like Kermit :)

[muppet maniac]

According to Muppet Wiki, Boober, Skeksis and Oscar were all on a recent episode of South Park about an imaginary world being under terrorist attack

[The Count]

Really? They must've been either among the non-speaking characters shown or in the Part 3 finale of that storyarch, which I partially missed out on.

[AndyWan Kenobi]

Man, it was so hard to notice all of the characters in those episodes. I wonder how they got away with all of that legally!

[TheJimHensonHour]

Slightly changing things and not calling the characters by their names.;)

[TheJimHensonHour]

Ok I'd like to Ad another one to our list here Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends Season 2 Episode #22 "Beat With a Schtick".
The Monster that Bloo is Scared of the entire episode looks a heck of allot like Sweetums. I can get a pic of him if anyone would like to see.

[Teheheman]

If you watch the Office season 1 commentary, there's a reference to Kermit the Frog. Rainn Wilson tries to do an impersonation of Jenna Fischer and by the 3rd or 4th commentary somebody says that he's starting to sound like Kermit the Frog lol.

Awesome I was going to mention that one. I remember seeing Boober, sadly killed,:concern: :cry: . The Skeksis was part of the "evil imaginary characters" gang and I didn't see Oscar though, I'll have to keep an eye out for him next time I wacth thoes episodes. On a personal note I really loved that three part episode, I already can't wait for season 12 to be on DVD just for thoes three episodes alone.

Also I don't know if anyone mention this already, but on an episode of "Drawn Together" entitled "Drawn Together Babies" which was a parody of "Muppet Babies," although I'm not a huge "Drawn Together" fan (I think it has it's moments but for the most part, I believe that show tries so hard on the "Shock Value" that sometimes it pasts being funny. Just my say), but they did a pretty close verison of the Muppet Babies opening. I really enjoyed it.

I just found one in my WarioWare: Smooth Moves video game! :D One of the microgames, where you have to use a wok to stir fry food is called "Wokka Wokka"! The quote might be misspelled on Muppet terms, but that's how it was spelled on the game.

I actually spotted :grouchy: right away---he was there right when the attack started (he's blue-green and has the trashcan lid). It was hard for me to spot the othewr characters though, because I watched this episode online and the flash screen was way too small.

[Muppet Pro]

On the new Simpsons Treehouse of Horror 19, On Koodos's (of Kang and Koodos the aliens) list of materials that he needed to phone home was 2 tickets to Avenue Q.

Well it's not really a Muppet reference but it's kind of related with Rick Lyon.

[ploobis]

On the new American Dad tonight Stan Smith was dancing with Hayley at a wedding and said the following.

"Ya know this reminds me that thing they did on The Muppet Show where the characters are dancing in a ball room and telling funny jokes".

That was a good Muppet reference to me. :)

New Muppet reference! On Cartoon Network's new show "Chowder," there's two characters that look almost exactly like Doozers (it's on purpose). I forgot their names but it's in the new episode so you can see it 7:30 tomorrow! :D

[MrsPepper]

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this but on the Family Guy DVD sets there are tons of comments about the Muppets.

On volume 4 there are two worth mentioning:

In Petergeist, near the beginning Joe builds a theatre and it has the old Colombia Tristar logo (but with Joe there instead of the running horse thingy). The commentators discuss what movie they expect to start playing after hearing/seeing the old logo and The Muppets Take Manhattan is mentioned among others (like Predator).

Also I can't remember what episode, but I think it's Brian Goes Back To College, one of the commentators is being picked on because he sounds like Kermit and/or Ray Romano when he speaks normally.

[Drtooth]

I just picked up Pinky and the Brain volume 3 a week or so ago, and I found one SS referece (which I'll post in the SS appearacnes thread) and one Muppet reference.

In the episode "You'll never eat Food Pellets in this town again!" a mention to one of the puppeteers is made.

There's a long gag about Pinky having a wife that's actually a puppet. Later on, Pinky says that he has connections, and they can get work in Hollywood.

Brain replies, "What? You'll make connections with your puppet friends."

And Pinky adds, "Yeah...uh...um.. I know the girl that used to do Frank Oz's nails!"

[IgorPonweed]

One of the recent Simpsons had Moe running after family cars to watch TV when he says, "Big Bird in China? Won't Grover get lonely? Oh... he's hangin' out with Derek Jeter."

[Drtooth]

I finished off the Pinky and the Brain box set a few nights back, and found a third (and very sneaky) Muppet Reference in it.

In the third part of the three part series finalie, they have a concert featuring Swedish supergroup "BAAB" (A clear parody of Abba). Now, they had a cook in another room, who was also from Sweden. it was a short gag, and the animators clearly read "Swedish Chef" in the script and...well... you can see where I'm going with this. They had a dead on likeness of the Swedish Chef as the chef. Same design, same eyebrows covering eyes, same clothes, same color scheme. he didn't talk the same, but clearly was a joke an animator or character designer threw in there.

[babyPiggy]

In family guy they had kermit,suidish cheif and fozzie and it was somthing like this.
Kermit: "oh i like that its a sweet family moment"
Suidish cheif: "ya thats kinda nice"
Fozzie: "Wokka wokka who wants to hear a funny *** joke?"

[babyPiggy]

and when Meg is doing her bird call and big bird comes and he's like "what did you want?" and she's like "oh i wasent calling you" and then he sais "you know i don't fly, i take the subway like everybody els, oh and people don't stair"

In the Homstarrunner Halloween cartoon "Halloween Potion-ma-jig (http://www.homestarrunner.com/ween05.html)," MArzipan dresses up like Beaker. And there's a special exchange at the end when you click on her:

THE CHEAT: {The Cheat noises, turns to Marzipan}

I can't watch the clip on Youtube, cause it isn't available in my country...

I can't remember what episode it was, but there was a commentary of Family Guy where the guy said that he kinda sounded like a Muppet. I could have heard it wrong cause I heard it a while ago, so I dunno.

[Colbynfriends]

Here's an Interesting one, for those of you that have seen the movie Child's Play when Andy is hiding in the closet, behind him is a Muppet Babies Somethingorother. I saw baby Bunsen and baby Scooter. next time some one watches that, see if you can figure out what that is.

There's also a visual Muppet refrence in the episode "Good-Bye Mr. Bear" of full house.
A Stuffed Skeeter doll is seen in a few parts of the episode.

[IgorPonweed]

Latest Simpsons. Lurleen sings "Bunk with me Tonight" with Kermit. Then Kermit replys, "Me? Well... Uh..." The Miss Piggy comes in and start kicking him.

[Katzi428]

On an old episode of "Diff'rent Strokes" today,Kimberly's hair had turned green due to some rain water she washed her hair in.So her aunt tried to convince her to go to this Save The Planet like thing. Kimberly responded,"And you want my hair looking like Kermit the Frog?"

[lynngarcia]

I went to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall and besides the whole puppet Dracula stuff there is a scene where Jason Segal is sitting at a piano playing, singing, and crying the Muppet Show theme song - it's classic!:crazy:

[Drtooth]

Not so much a reference, but I pulled out an episode of Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, and they pretty much stole the "Glow Worm" bit.

In the episode "Shell Game," Sylvester (on an island in the Galapagos) tries to pull out a worm to bait Tweety, but it turns out it's actually a long, wierd toungue of a lizard or fish or something like that. And it eats Sylvester.

As I said, not so much a reference as just stealing the gag.

Well come on, speaking as someone whom is a writer himself, it's hard to come up with something that's totally original. I doubt they were they sit around and something thought hey let's just do that one Jim Henson bit. It's kind of a basic idea or gag. Something turns out to be more than the character thought and oh no. I'm just saying it's easy to watch something and say oh they stole that from so and so, but come on everything has been done and redone and over done. I'm just saying

[Oscarfan]

In the onlien game, You Don't Knwo Jack, they use the Muppets in several of their questions.

[Drtooth]

Here's a fresh one.

Anyway, I was watching the new Spectacular Spider-Man serires, and in today's episode, The Big Man's Henchman named Hammer Head was attacked by Green Gobin. Hammer Head dons brass Knuckles and says:

"Stop Laughing Kermit! I hear that green is the new Black and Blue!"

Well only those few times on Sesame when Gover but Ears and Teeth on Kermit.

I think he tried to sell ears back in the mid or late 1970s and his put those on Kermit.

Then in the mid-1980s, he gave Kermit teeth talking about how it's important to use a tooth comb, and eat crunchy things like charrots. LOL Then Kermit chased Grover away and the end. ;) LOL

[Teheheman]

I swear wasn't there another time where Kermit had teeth? I think it was during the Vincent Price episode. I could be wrong, I've been known to be wrong before. But I never thought that Kermit had ears. Come to think of it, there are a lot of muppets that are missing facial features. Bunsen has no eyeballs, a few of them have no noses, some have no ears. But then again, I look too much into stuff.

Daniel

[Colbynfriends]

your right Daniel kermit had teeth in the Vincent Price episode of TMS (if you count fangs as teeth, which i do) and in a skit from SS kermit had ears (http://images.wikia.com/muppet/images/6/6e/Khome.ears.jpg), but only because grover put them on him.

Here's a rare Muppet babies reference from Tiny Toon Adventures. In the episode "Fairy Tales from the 90's" the "Bunnochio" segment, a collection of toys is seen at an advertisement used in the Acme Toys board room. One of the products is Slug Babies (http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb174/drslumptooth/slugbabies.jpg) and you can see they bare a striking resemblance to Baby Kermit.

[theprawncracker]

So I was just watching "The Soup" on E! Television... and they were talking about some show on E! where Kermit and Fozzie were appearing and the host says, after the clip, "And now the interview will proceed to ask Kermit and Fozzie about the love-triangle with Miss Piggy, which has spawned the new E! reality show 'Fozzie Bear: It's Got a Hand in It!'"

:zany:

[heralde]

Well I see what you're saying although I consider puppetry a form of animation, myself.

Actually at the 1986 Academy Awards, Kermit and Scooter presented an Oscar for Best Animated Film, and they refered to themselves as animated characters. So I guess you could give them that label.

Not sure about anyone else, but NBC's "The Office" is my absolute favorite show of the last few years; and I was pleasantly surprised to see how many Muppet references their continually are.

In one episode, Michael Scott the boss(Steve Carrel)
says he had to get all the Muppet show boxsets on Amazon.com, raving about how great the show is

Another episode had Andy playing the Rainbow Connection on his banjo to Pam the receptionist

In another episode, they talk about Muppet Babies and Jim mentions Animal from Muppet babies

Another has Michael Scott spending way too much time
watching Cookie Monster clips on youtube.

No Fraggle Rock references as of yet, but I have seen fraggle rock references in a number of tv shows and movies over the years.

Has there been Muppet references on some of your favorite shows?

[Teheheman]

I'm sure that this has been talked about on here of all the Muppet references on the Office have been talked about on here. I am also a fan of the show and remember all those moments as well. Anyways, I was watching Mythbusters on DVD and Kari was trying to beat a Sonar alarm system by dressing up in some shag carpeting, and she said that she looked like a really bad Muppet.

From my absolute favorite Japanese TV show, Kinnikuman...

For some reason, there was something about Kinnikuman pulling off different masks... and in one shot, he's sitting on a pile of them...

Well, See for yourself (http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb174/drslumptooth/kinnikumuppet.jpg)...in the lower Right corner, near a skull mask, it's a Kermit! There is also something that could be Piggy on the left, right under Kinnikuman's arm.

Clearly a joke by the animators, since Kinnikuman was animated by Toei, the same animation studio that did Muppet Babies at the time.

Funny you should mention High School Musical 3. When I saw it in theaters I thought this was either a Muppet reference or I mis-heard:

In the scene right before the musical at the end you see Sharpay warming up and talking to her parents on her cell phone. Then Jimmie, one of the new kids, introduces himself to her as "Jimmie 'The Rocket' Zara" and Sharpay says something along the lines of "Jimmie 'The Rocket' Zara? What's that supposed to be, some sort of Muppet gangster?". When I saw it in theaters I thought MAYBE she said "mafia" gangster, but according to the subtitles on the DVD and on my TV she does indeed say "Muppet" =]

Watching Skins this week (something certainly not for all audiences) one of the characters named Cook made this comment, "They all come to the Cookie Monster in the end..." under circumstances in which I am sure we will never see the Cookie Monster...

I was watching the last Conan and he said that when he was walking down the street he couldn't be missed, he looks like Big Bird walking down Times Square.

I was watching this kids' show the other day (can't remember the name X_X) and the kids on it (who were CG characters) were watching TV and they were watching a computery-puppety thing that I think was meant to be the count.

Last night on Lost, Jin Kwon went to this Dharma Station called The Flame, where a man named Radzinski was watching television monitors... most of the monitors were feeds of security cameras, but in the top left screen was The Muppet Show.

I don't usually watch 30 rock but caught it last night. They had a Miss Piggy gag where she was in a magazine article with one of the actresses on the show. It was a 'who wore it better' picture of Miss piggy and the actress in the same dress. I really cracked up at that.
