Muppet Film and TV References

[GuySmiley]

I know that we've had a few of these on other threads (Simpsons etc), but thought it might be good to have a thread that combines them all. So, if you can remember a reference, then get posting!

I'll start us off (and sadly, this is the only one I can think of at the moment).

In the film Three Men and a Little Lady (Steve Guttenberg, Ted Danson, Tom Selleck) - they are throwing a party to try and attract women and one of them puts on some music to try and impress her and ends up putting 'Rubber Duckie' on instead. That was pretty funny!

Not a brilliant one, I admit, but I'm sure the rest of you can do a lot better!!!!

Guy!

There is a reference to the Muppet Family Christmas in the Animanicas song Video Review:

Yakko: Hey, look at this store!
Wakko: There's movies galore!
Dot : We've seen 'em a thousand times over before
YW+D : And that's why our brains don't work anymore!

Yakko: "The Player" is a movie
About finding fresh new scripts
Like "Rambo 3"...
And "Rocky 5"...
And "Star Trek" Number 6.
Dot : Eva joined with Zsa Zsa
And they formed a "Sister Act"
But both were "Unforgiven"
Because neither one could act.

Wakko: "The Hand That Rocked The Cradle"
Once belonged to "Hook", you see
But it got bored and so it joined
"The Addams Family".
Yakko: "Amadeus" was a genius
"Beethoven" was a dog
The "Muppet Family Christmas"
was about a pig and frog.
Dot : There was a sled named Rosebud
And a "Citizen" named "Kane"
He rode it 'til the snow was melted
Now he's "Singin' In The Rain".
Wakko: The "Princess Bride" got married
To the handsome "Prince Of Tides"
Which now makes her dad, "The Fisher King",
The "Father Of The Bride".
YW+D : And pretty soon you'll find them all
Inside the "TV Guide"
Along with all the stars you like to see!

Dot : Like Hitchcock and Spielberg and Oliver Stone
Yakko: Shirley MacLaine and Sylvester Stallone.
Wakko: Francis Ford Coppola, Hepburn and Tracy
Dot : Robert Zemeckis and Martin Scorcese.
Yakko: Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Woody Allen and Mia
Wakko: Robert Deniro and Andy Garcia.
Dot : Sophia Loren, Barbra Streisand, Joan Crawford
Yakko: Paul Newman, Rock Hudson, Spike Lee, Peter Lawford.
YW+D : Jack Nicholson, Brando, and Marilyn Monroe...
And that's all the people we know!

---

Cast : We're glad the dinosaur is gone
He was an easy mark
But if we ever miss him
We can rent "Jurassic Park".
So when it comes to clunkers
Like "The Babe" or like "Presidio"
YW+D : Don't pay $7.50
Just catch 'em on home video.
As for us it's bye-bye time
So long now, toodle-oo.
We've had quite enough of this
Cast : Video revue!

[Foreignman]

Also in Family Guy' I think there have been one or two references. The one I can remember off the top of my head is where Stewie is playing in his room with Kermit and Miss Piggy dolls and threatens the Kermit doll that he;ll kill Miss Piggy if she does't give him the money, or something like that.

[Foreignman]

Found another one, this is said by Mr. Jimmy James in the entirely to underrated show "News Radio":
"Let me tell you something, little Miss... Advertising pays our bills, alright... advertising pays your salary... advertising is what made this country great... What was the Constitution of the United States?... No! It is an advertisement... an advertisement for liberty... when in the course of human events... I'm telling you... that's up there with 'Put a Tiger in your tank' and 'Where's the beef'... Don't you understand? I'm sorry... I've got to get some air... **** if it wasn't for advertising... you know what you two'd be doing, huh? You two'd be giving out Sesame Street tote bags during PBS pledge breaks... 'cept they wouldn't say Sesame Street on them.. Nooo... they wouldn't say that... that would be....? ADVERTISING!!! That's Right!! ****, if you two had your way there probably wouldn't even be any Sesame Street would there?... Would there?!! There'd be no Ernie would there... Nooooo.... there'd be no Bert... bye bye, bye bye to Grover... bye bye to Cookie Monster... NO! There'd be no Snuffleupagus, would there, and get that trash can... cause there'd be no Oscar the Grouch... NOT TO MENTION... KERMIT, THE **** FROG!!!!"

[CarburetorJane]

Well, the last one I heard is in my siggy

[manoftheSTREET]

In "The War Of The Roses", Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner are in their house on Christmas Eve with their kids, and on a record player, the "Sesame Street" cast can be heard performing "We Wish You A Merry Christmas".

Useless fact: 3 actors from "War Of The Roses" (Danny DeVito, Kathleen Turner and Dan Castellenata) all have appeared on "Sesame Street"...DeVito and Turner in live-action, and Castellenatta in his best-known guise...as the voice of Homer Simpson.

There was a "Sesame Street" reference in the first "Lethal Weapon"...I'll have to watch it again to catch it.

Useless fact 2: If we include specials, then at least 5 people who have been in a "Lethal Weapon" movie have appeared on "Sesame Street" (Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Darlene Love, Joe Pesci and Chris Rock).

"Saturday Night Live" has had frequent "Sesame Street" references. One I can think of off-hand...On a "Weekend Update" in 2001, Jimmy Fallon did a story on firings at Sesame Workshop. He did an impression of The Count, and then said "the firings were brought to workers by the letters F and U".

Useless fact 3: Including specials and the movie "Follow That Bird", 11 SNL alumni have appeared on "Sesame Street" (Chevy Chase, Laraine Newman, Jane Curtin, Julia-Louis Dreyfus, Martin Short, Billy Crystal, Joan Cusack, Victoria Jackson, Ben Stiller, Mike Myers and Chris Rock)

Sincerely,

Found another reference, last night on Just Shoot Me it was an episode where Maya goes out with a puppeteer who has his own kids show(played by French Stewart (otherwise known as Harry from 3rd rock from the sun)). Well when Maya asks how he got into it he says he was inspired by Sesame Street. French Stewart goes on to do this whole monoluge about Sesame Street, but I can't really remember it except for the line, "you have no idea how much sense cookie monster can make when you're stoned." You'll have to watch it yourself to see.

[SuprGro78]

On an episode of ER The Rocket romano doesn't want to give a vegetative girl a central line or something like that and Carrie the Chief of the ER is there and they are fighting. Anyway the mom of the girl has been telling Carrie how she likes to watch the Muppets. Rocket starts yelling at Carrie and calls the muppets Sesame Street and Carrie says It's not sesame street it's the muppet show. They're different. (that's how i remember it not verbatim or anything)

On the subject of Jimmy Fallon, he has a comedy album coming out or already out. On one of the songs there is some weird reference to Kermit and Jim Henson, I remember reading about it in the Rolling stone he was on the cover of a few months ago.


Later

[Drtooth]

I just saw an episode of Garfield and Friends in which Garfield didn't want to film his cartoon (the title is Garfield in Flat Tired), and the director needs a replacement, and he needs someone who has musical talent (Odie comes out in a Straw hat and Cane), who can act (Odie comes out with a skull barking the sololoquy from Hamlet), and who is funny (Odie stretched his face infront of the camera). The Director shouts "I know who we can get! Get me Kermit the Frog on the Phone!"

[radionate]

Ben-

Did you translate this yourself, or did you find the monologue somewhere online? The reason I ask is that I would love to use it for any auditions. It’s a pretty funny little speech.

[Foreignman]

I assume you're refering to the brilliant Jimmy James monolouge. Actually it is directly from the show, I got it off of a great NewsRadio quote website, HERE (http://www.evilzero.com/NewsRadio/). You can find that monolouge and many others, they may not be as muppetational as this one, but they're hilarious non the less. I wish I could of used one of these when I auditioned for Laguardia.

[CarburetorJane]

Oh, How could I forget? Here's one from my favorite show "The Invisible Man."
Agents Fawkes and Hobbes are in the childerns/materinity ward of a hospital waiting for another agent.

HOBBES: Well, what about Bert and Ernie, huh?
FAWKES: Bert and Ernie?
HOBBES: Anybody deny they're gay lovers?
FAWKES: What are you talking about?
HOBBES: This morning, I'm getting dressed, I'm watching TV, right?
FAWKES: Yeah.
HOBBES: Big Bird and Elmo come by. . .
FAWKES: Wait, hold on. You watch Sesame Street?
HOBBES: Yeah, it's the only decent thing on at six AM, Fawkes.
FAWKES: That explains a lot.
HOBBES: Anyways, Bert and Ernie come riding in on a bicycle built for two.
FAWKES: A tandem.
HOBBES: Yeah. I mean, these guys have been living together for what, the past 30 years now?
FAWKES: Something like that.
HOBBES: Yeah, so I'm thinking that, hey, it's time to come out, fellas.
FAWKES: Hobbes, they're puppets.
HOBBES: That's what they said about Reagan. Mm-hmm.

That's from the episode entitled "The Camp." Right from the transcribed script there.

[radionate]

Thanks Ben!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe a News Radio Site like that exists!!!!!!!!

[GuySmiley]

Just remembered a couple from the NBC Sitcom 'Frasier' starring Kelsey Grammer.

1. Roz (the call screener at the radio station) is taking calls on the PBS Pledge Night and is talking to a kid saying 'No! Lamb Chops not here...BIG BIRD ISN'T HERE EITHER....'

2. Frasier and Niles are both trying to get into a snooty club and Niles insults a bearded member by saying 'Yes - I'm talking to you FOZZIE!'

Laugh? I thought my trousers would never dry!

Guy!

Actually, he wasn't going to kill Piggy, but do something a lot more ...uh.. adult to her. His lines were, "If that doesn't work, maybe a little tenderness will." after "hugging" the doll, he adds, "I'm making out with a Pig! I've become my father!!!"

Another Animaniacs refference:

Dracula: I am Count Dracula!
Yakko: Eh.. Didn't you used to teach math on Sesame Street?

Another Family Guy refference, a guy in a tatoo parlor (also a bank) wants the owner to draw a skull or something on him and the owner says.."uh.. I can do Kermit the Frog. How about a nice Kermit the Frog?....You know what I'm gonna do? I'm going to draw Kermit the Frog!"

On the Obscure kid's show, Ned's Newt, Newton the Newt (who has Mask like Morphing powers) turns into a Big Bird type character and says something like "this show is brought to you by N-E-W-T NEH-OOOO-Tuh!"

And my favorite, on Earthworm Jim there was a parody of Sesame Street that the evil Bob the Goldfish tried to educate a fish army with called "Salmon Street" here's a transcription

Fish Sock Puppet #1: Hey kids! Let's all sing the inhert gasses song!

BOth Fish Puppets: (singing to the tune of old MacDonald)
I know which gasses are inhert
helium, neon, and argon
I'll sing this song until it hurts
krypton, xenon, and radon!

[Drtooth]

And here's one for all of you ALF fans.

On one episode, Brian and ALF (or Gordon, if you prefer) are watching Sesame.

Brian: DO you get Sesame Street where you lived?

ALF: No! and frankly I don't get it down here, either

Woman on TV: If you guessed the cow riding on the bus, you're absolutly right.

ALF: Brilliant! All this and the letter I in one day! I need a drink!

this sound is available in WAV format at

[the_great_gonzo]

There's another Family Guy one that people forgot. Peter's watching a show called Homicide:Life On Sesame Street. It has Ernie and Bert. The phone rings. Bert Answers.

BERT:Hello? Son of a *****.
ERNIE:Bert. What's the matter, Bert?
BERT:Some poor ******* got his head blown off at a place called Hoopers.
(Bert takes a swig of something)
ERNIE:Bert. I wish you wouldn't drink so much Bert.
BERT:I wish you'd stop eating cookies in the **** bed.
ERNIE:Bert. You're yelling again Bert.

They do the music they used when they changed skits and it ended. It was really funny.

[Foreignman]

This is actually a hilarious bit, I didn't post it because I thought it was a little too dirty for Muppet Central, but I'm glad someone else did. Anyone who wants the clip can e-mail me, and I'd be happy to send it to them. Gonz, you're transcription was pretty good but you left out some so let me write it in it's entirety:

Announcer: This show contains adult content, and is brought to you by the letter "H".
*Police Sirens are heard in the background and we hear a phone ringing*
Bert: (Bert wakess up, and gets out of a bed which Ernie is also in, and answers the phone) Hello... *sighs* Son of a *****, I'm on my way... (hangs up phone) Some poor ******* got his head blown off down at place called Hoopers. (Bert takes a drink and thens throws up)
Ernie: Bert, I wish you wouldn't drink so much Bert.
Bert: Well Ernie, I wish you wouldn't eat cookies IN THE **** BED!!!
Ernie: Bert, you're shouting again Bert...
Bert: *sighs angrily*
(Wanh Wanh Wanh Wanh end of skit music plays)

I believe that's the skit in it's full form...

[Janice & Mokey's Man]

This was just on "The Cosby Show" not more than 1 minute ago:

The Huxtables are in Lena Horne's dressing room at a posh resort or somethin':

Rudy: "I saw you on 'Sesame Street'!"

Lena: "You did? Yes, I sang a song with Kermit the Frog."

Rudy: "Can I meet him?"

Lena: "Well, I'll see if we can set up a date."

:)

[Ernie101]

LOL:p :p :p

[Foreignman]

This one is very short, but a Muppet reference none the less... This was a re-run of "Whose Line is it Anyway", and they were playing the dating game. Ryan was a person still under hypnosis, from a stageshow... Something set him off and he started barking and turning into different people, and near the end of his dialouge, he put out his hand and said "Hello Miss Piggy!". That's it...

[crazy ernie]

crank yankers has put big bird on the side of a kfc bucket, and protray him as a smoker.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Aerosmith]

Theres one in the episode of the Simpsons where Bart get a big brother and Homer gets a little brother, well anyway Homer is going to pick up his little brother who lives in an alley he walks by a dumpster and see's a man sleeping in it and says "Hee Hee just like Oscar" :)

[DarthGonzo]

In the Simpson episode "A Fish Called Selma", Bart, Homer and Lisa are watching Troy McClure in "Muppets Go Medieval". Troy is fighting Kermit for the hand of Miss Piggy.

Lisa: Dad, what's a Muppet?
Homer: Well, it's not quite a mop, it's not quite a puppet, but... (laughs hard). So, it answer your question, I don't know.

Great reference.

[BroadwayBaby]

Does anybody happen to have the original airdates for the second season of "The Muppet Show?" I have the airdates for all the other seasons, I just need the ones for the second season. Could someone help me?

[MuppetVision3D]

On a recent episode of crank yankers, they showed a fake kermit and piggy engaging in .........well, I'll just leave that sentence how it is, but just use your imagination. You're smart folks.

[GuySmiley]

Hey - I got another one!

On an episode of Friends that aired in the UK recently (a repeat), Chandler and Joey are fighting because Joey is moving to a new appartment and Chandler doesn't want him to - the reference is something like:

Joey: Hey, we didn't agree to live together forever - we aren't Bert and Ernie!

Guy!

[mattyboy]

In 'Friends' they always have Muppet refrences. One episode Chandler is reading the paper and says that a muppet got hit by a person on 'Sesame Street.' In another episode Phoebe mentions the time she wrote to 'Sesame Street' saying that her mum killed herself asking what should she do and they sent her back a Cookie Monster keyring.

FYI ALF fans, my boss (who's German) tell me ALF is HUGE in Europe (and they say the French don't have good taste in comedy!). :)

[CarburetorJane]

Whose Line is it Anyway? always has muppet references too. Well, most of the time. They use Sesame street or the Muppet show for the Film and Theater styles...

(Host) Clive: "Oh, Muppet Movies, not the show.." (-to an audience's suggestion)

Once at the end credits, when the players had to be animals running into the camera, right before the show ended Wayne came up and did: "An-i-mal! An-i-mal!"

[Drtooth]

Here's some more obscure ones.

On an episode of Bill and Ted's Excellent adventures (an old cartoon show), There's this episode in which a "Mister Rogers" like show is cancelled for not being "hip" enough, and the Mr Rogers like guy gets to play a frog on a new show called "Froggame Street," later in that seen, the Mr. Rogers like guy is gone, they see a cookie monster like character, and Ted says, "Do you think he ate him?"


On a recent episode of CYberchase, The Hacker yells at the hero kids, calling them "Miserable Muppets." (In case you want to know, Brian Meehl wrote a couple episodes of this PBS series).

And (another Cosby) on one episode when Rudy can't wear her favorite dress, they play Frank Sinatra's version of "It's not that Easy, Bein' Green!"

[the_great_gonzo]

I just found one from Freaks & Geeks. (excellent show but stupid NBC cancelled it. aaarrgghh!)

Anyway, Bill is over at Cindy's house to work on a school project. While she is getting a snack, Bill is looking at a book called MISS PIGGY'S GUIDE TO LIFE. She comes back in and he brings up Welcome Back Kotter. She says she doesn't watch much TV, except for the muppet show.

Later in the episode, Bill is talking to Sam and Neil.

BILL:She's weird. She eats carrot sticks and likes Miss Piggy.
SAM:So, Miss Piggy is funny.
NEIL:Are you kidding, Miss Piggy's lame. The Swedish Chef is hilarious.

[manoftheSTREET]

In "Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back", Chris Rock plays Chaka, the director of the movie-within-a-movie. At one point, he becomes fed up with the idea that a black man can't direct, and he said he came up with the original idea for "Sesame Street". The title can't be repeated on this board, but it's very funny.

In "Lethal Weapon", Mel Gibson and Danny Glover as Riggs and Murtaugh (they would play their "Weapon" characters on "Sesame Street" 5 years later), question a kid for information on the friend of the young hooker who died at the beginning of the movie. Riggs thinks the idea is stupid, and goes into a rant about the kid's mode of thinking, saying "Yeah, police, there's a 6 foot tall yellow bird on the loose".

Sincerely,

John "manoftheSTREET" Kilduff

[Drtooth]

I used to have this quote as my signature, but on the last episode of the Family Guy (aired, one never aired), Brian and Peter are watching sesame Street, when the Count counts bats.

Peter: I-Is the count a vampire?

Brian: Come again?

Peter: He has those fangs. Did they ever show him doing someone in, and sucking their blood?

Brian: Y-you're asking me if they ever made an episode of Sesame Street where the Count kills someone and feasts on them for sustanace? No, they haven't done that!

[Cantus Rock]

Mystery Science Theater 3000 is chock full of Muppet referances. When I complete my MST collection I'm going to be compiling them all for the Info Club's "Ward E" :D

-Matt

[the_great_gonzo]

Found a reference on the show Undeclared (another great show that FOX cancelled. This guy who does impressions gets mad and he says in a pretty good Kermit voice:

"This is Kermit the Frog and today's letter is S for shallow."

[punkNpuppets]

you can't forget Cheech & Chong's SESIMILLA STREET -
KERMIT: You just called me Krimit didn't you.
BIG BIRD: Yes I did hahaha.
KERMIT: hahaha...Krimit The Frog! ---

These ones are from Mad TV. ---
Mark Curry was guest starring and before the show, he did a rap song called "Hardcore", which isn't very hardcore at all, he says stuff like "goin to the liquor store to by a jug of milk" and when the music stops he says "Yo! Representin' Sesame Street, OG Big Bird, Snuffleupagus!"

Another one from Mad was when this couple just moved in (david herman and nicole sullivan) David played a guy named Bert, i forgot Nicole's character though (i don't even know if it was Nicole) anyways, i guy knocks on the door and it's their new neighbor (Artie Lange). He introduces himself and then the couple introduce themselves and he says "Hey, kind of like Bert & Ernie from Sesame Street" and Bert says "Yeah, only it's Bert and ____". He says "Yeah." then he asks if he can come in, then he tells them about how he's on parole for sexual harassment or something because "It's required by the law". funny sketch...

Here's another Simpsons one (it's been a long time since i've seen it though) - Homer is watching this show on PBS. (you hear "You're watching PBS!") then Bart walks in and says "YOU'RE watching PBS???" It was a show about a poor, serial killer family, i think. Then Bart gets into it, and then it gets interupted by one of those annoying PBS things where you donate money and Homer calls in and says that he'll donate a thousand dollars. Later on, all the pbs guys start chasing him on the street, including Barney, Mr. Rogers, the Teletubbies shooting laser beams from there antennas, Yo Yo Ma throwing his cello stick as a weapon, and then a trash can shows and Oscar and Elmo pop out and Elmo says "Elmo knows where you live!". it's a horrible drawing of them though.

Another one was on Greg The Bunny when Greg got in touch with his inner puppet. (he wore weird clothes and talked in a weird language, kinda like the two headed monster from ss). The producer of his kids show said "This is the Fozzie Bear veredict all over again."

Speaking of bunnies, there's a show called Unhappily Ever After you've probably never seen (it's not very popular). It's just like Married With Children only the SON is the stupid one and the DAUGHTER is the smart virgin and when the dad has no one to talk to, he goes down stairs and talks to his little stuffed bunny named Mr. Floppy. On one episode, Mr. Floppy says "Do you see alot of ME at the toy store? Noo, people prefer the neutered boy, Elmo!" (he either said neuterd or nuder, i'm not sure).

This one's from Growing Pains - (yeah, hahaha, laugh at me if you want. i used watch it, now it think that show SUCKS!) - anyways, it was an episode when Ben had backstage passes to a concert and after he meets his favorite rock star he leaves, finds out he forgot his camera, goes and gets it, sees the rock star making out and says "Hey! That's not your wife!" (he was 10 or 12, a teenager wouldn't care) then the rock star starts being mean to him. at home, he rips his poster of the wall and throws it out then when his dad talks to him he soon says "Remember when you found out Kermit wasn't a real frog? You ended up watching Sesame Street again." and ben says "Well, it's a good show".

Here's another confession of a show i used to watch, the Torkelsons (you guys probably havent seen, it was on the disney channel). On one episode, i just remember the youngest daughter has a stuffed Elmo and in one part, they show it as the real Elmo and she's talks to it and stuff.

On Cartoon Planet (with Space Ghost, Zorak, and Brak), they did a remake of "Manha Manha" only they sung it differently. Instead of Brak singing it like "Manhamanha", he screamed it in his hilarious voice like "man-HA-man-HA" then instead of Space Ghost going "Pet-tee-pet-teepee" he sings "Do do do do do"

On one episode VH1's Rock Show it was hosted by Jason Newsted (ex-Metallica bassist) and he was talking about his new band Echobrain. he said "It's more of a mellow rock, no blaring guitars or Cookie Monster vocals." They showed an Echobrain video and they're pretty cool.

now this one's NOT from tv, it's from a movie, the Little Rascals. - Alphapha and Spanky were in a fight and later it showed them both sitting on their porches and it shows that black kid talking to them (it shows him talking to Alphapha, then when he finishes that sentance it shows him talking to Spanky) he says "You were like Ernie & Bert, Superman & Clark Kent" (the superman thing i don't understand cause superman and clark kent were the same people)

On the Wayans Bros. once, Shawn meets a girl whom is a psychietrest. He tells Marlon about her and says that she's a psychietrist.
MARLON: She can throw her voice?
SHAWN: Not a ventriloquist, a psychietrist. She helps people out with their problems.
MARLON: Oh, like Sigmund Freud, the 18th Century founder of psychotherapy.
SHAWN: Wow, I'm impressed! I guess 8 years of Sesame Street really paid off!



that's all i can think of. i'm suprised no one mentioned any of the refrences to Yoda. i know there's some, but i can't think of any.

[Drtooth]

I found an old tape from 1990, I think. On it I taped a Charlie Brown special about a little girl with cancer, the first run of the Monin' Lisa Simpsons episode, and this Ducktales valentines special.

The whole thing is hosted by Ludwig von Drake. This is not an exact quote, and I think this is around the start of the Henson/Disney partnership.

Ludwig VonDrake: A lot of people have talked to me about romance. Little Mermaid, Roger Rabbit, Kermit, Ludwig von Drake....LUDWIG VON DRAKE?!?!?!?

I'm pretty sure that Kermit means Kermit the frog. I don't know any other famouse Kermit, except Kermit Love.

[punkNpuppets]

who's he?

[crazy ernie]

Kermit Love was a muppet builder.He also was a hot dog vendor on sesame street

[kansasteen14]

also in the simpsons episode with Oscar,and Elmo and Zoe,it also has Big Bird attack Homer. they have also had an episode where they go to Brazil and have brazillian seaseme street.

[punkNpuppets]

this isn't exactly a tv OR movie reference, but on the back of Green Day's Dookie album has a picture of a mosh pit with Ernie in it. i also heard that Ernie was talking about a "Green Day" on ss (NOT the band, probably a day when you wear green) and he gave the not-formed band an idea for their name!

[monkeymuppet]

Your signature is the best!

Well, not exactly, but I remember Marges..heh..suggestive quote

"Ernie and Bert left it to your imagination!

[radionate]

I was watching the a DVD of the old HBO series Mr. Show (which is genius, I urge everyone to see it), and they made a Fraggle Rock reference!!!!

"Man, HBO spent more on Fraggle Rock then they did on this show!"

[GonzoLeaper]

The only reference to Yoda I can think of is in the movie E.T. The Extra-terrestrial, when the kids take E.T. out trick-or-treating and a kid dressed up in a Yoda costume walks by. And of course, when Elliot makes his brother "give him the power" (i believe that's a Dungeon & Dragons reference, which was huge in 1982, but I don't get into it) and his brother says "Yes, hmm, you have absolute power" in a perfect Yoda imitation.

Also, a gigantic Muppets reference was made on The Cosby Show, in 1990, as a tribute to Jim Henson, when on the episode "Cliff's Nightmare", Cliff has a wild dream where he meets Muppets like Sweetums, Digit, and even Gonzo! They want him to do deliver babies at the hospital and lots of familiar Muppets pop up. Look for the episode on WGN or Nick at Nite. It's very funny.

By the way, in reference to whoever posted about Growing Pains, the show ROCKS! and I care when someone kisses a woman who's not his wife! Looking at another woman with lust in your heart is a sin.
It's called adultery.

Just a few lil things:

First off is more of a question. Is Yoda actually considered a Muppet? I didn't think so...the Creature Shop didn't work on him did they? God, I'm an SW nerd and I don't know these basic facts. Boooooo :( (hehe)

Secondly, technically if the characters are in the production it isnt a referance. No worries though, its an awesome episode nonetheless. :)

Lastly, I'm not critisizing religion, I just reccomend you don't preach it on the board. We have many different nationalities, sexual orientations, races and creeds here, and people might get offended. Not saying you should hide your beliefs in a box or anything, just don't make a habit of imposing it on others. :)

Ahem! He recurred a bunch of times on The Simpsons

I Married Marge: Homer Refers to Marge as "beautiful as Leia" and "wise as Yoda"

Treehouse of Horrors XII, Curse of the Dummy: Yoda is seen as a minister or Justice of the Peace, when the Leprechaun and the Gypsy Marry.
There are others, I think.

But on an episode of Taxi, Reverend Jim (Christopher Lloyd), has a date with Marilu Henner's character (I haven't seen it in a while, I forgot her name) and gives her all these presents

"Flowers for m'lady! Candy for M'lady! A Yoda doll for m'lady!" She tells him that the dates tomorrow.
"I'll take this stuff back! Don't wanna come empty handed!"

In an episode of Arthur, Arthur is in a marble shooting competition and his grandmother is teaching him tricks. In a fantasy segment, the grandmother appears Yoda like, and talks backwards.

Also, look at Star wars parodies!

Animaniacs,
Walter Melon
Thuimb Wars, to name a few, all have Yoda parodies!

Also, a gigantic Muppets reference was made on The Cosby Show, in 1990, as a tribute to Jim Henson, when on the episode "Cliff's Nightmare", Cliff has a wild dream where he meets Muppets like Sweetums, Digit, and even Gonzo! They want him to do deliver babies at the hospital and lots of familiar Muppets pop up. Look for the episode on WGN or Nick at Nite. It's very funny.
I saw that episode. i only saw it around the end and i didn't see the muppets. but when i'll tell ya, just the thought of a baby coming out of a man's c--k-hole is enough to make you hurl out your liver!!! and about the adultery thing, i wont commit adultery when i get married, but if someone is comitting adultery, i wouldn't care. he'll just go straight to ****!!!!!!!!

I forgot the most obvious Yoda refference. SPACE BALLS!!! In it, Mel Brooks plays a rumpled up old Jewish wiseman named Yogurt! Yogurt the wise! Yogurt the Powerfull. "Please! I'm just plain Yogurt!"


I hate Yogurt! Even with Strawberries!!!

jeff - what's the episode called? i want to see if it caused any controversey!

[Drtooth]

On Histeria! (a cool education show no longer on the WB, replced locally by crummy saved by the bell ripoffs) there were two I know of:

One episode Toast was interviewing LBJ and the censor brought up that he founded PBS, Toast replies.. "Whoooa!! Yo created those boring British dudes and those Tickle me Spazz out Puppets?!?!?"

On another a character called Froggo was reffered to by Julius Caesar as "Kermit."

On the 1995 version of the Casper cartoons, Stretch tells the viewers theat he promises to give them the greatest knowledge ever known, and says something like, Does Sesame Street promise this?

On the long forgotten Mother Goose and Grimm cartoon, Grimmy builds a big bird trap (a BIG BIRD trap) and whispers to Attilla the cat, Attilla answers back, "No! I do not know how to get to sesame Street!"

Even though I hate Full House (except Joey!) I'll mention these:

On one episode, one of them told Michell that 2 and a half hours is "One Mr. Rogers and two Sesame Streets"

ANother, Joey did an impersonation of Kermit (for those who don't know Joey, aka Dave Coulier did the voices of Animal, Bunsen Honeydew, Statler and Waldorf on Muppet Babies)

[Drtooth]

Does anyone know of any Fraggle refferences? All I know is on one episode of Family Guy, Peter is trying to sell a house as a historic landmark, and states..."This is where the Pilgrims landed on Fraggle Rock!"

[radionate]

I was watching the a DVD of the old HBO series Mr. Show (which is genius, I urge everyone to see it), and they made a Fraggle Rock reference!!!!

"Man, HBO spent more on Fraggle Rock then they did on this show!" This was posted on page three!

[Boober_Baby]

Fraggle Rock references? Yes sir!

I'm sorry if someone already posted these on page 3, or 5... or 72, but I just don't have time to check out every page! So here's hoping I'm being somewhat original here! (And I wanna see that Family Guy episode where they say that!)

In a Friends episode (can't remember which one) I think... Joey (??? Maybe it was Chandler... I so don't remember this episode) has a girlfriend, and she has a really odd name so one of the 'friends' says "Is she from Fraggle Rock?"

And then a few years ago there was a reference on SNL. It was during that Hard Ball or Hard Talk or Hard Something or other, with Matt... something (I have a great memory, don't I? XP). I dunno, it was like a parody of all those hardcore political talk programs, and Chris Kattan was acting like an idiot so the head guy, Matt Something said "This debate is for adults! Go back to Fraggle Rock!"

this is not from a tv show OR a movie, it's from a song. Dead Kennedy's "MTV Get Off The Air" ----

See the latest rejects from the Muppet Show

Anyone ever see Cosby (not the Cosby show, the 1990's CBS sitcom)? I can think of some there

On one episode, Hilton (Cosby) and Griffin (Doug E. Doug) are coaching a boys basketball team. One kid starts harassing another, and calls him a girl for playing with dolls. The other kid assures him that they're action figures. The first kid says, "Since when is Tickle Me Elmo an action figure?"

Another one, Griffin is watching a kid, and he says, "Yah like Elmo? Barney's a punk! Elmo rules" or something to that extent.

Some things of interrest:

Elmo himself made an appearance in Cosby (in an episode where Griffin dreams of being rich and famous).

Likewise, Doug E. Doug (who plays Griffin) appeared on Sesame last year as Baby Bear's barber.

Sesame Street and Cosby are both taped at the same studio.

Cosby featured the last performances by Madaline Kahn, who was on the Muppet Show, the Muppet Movie (as Telly Savalas's Girlfiend) and on Sesame Street.

[jeremyactor]

Man, Dr. Tooth - you took ALL my family guy quotes I was going to use! What a great show. I especially like the one about "Is the Count a Vampire?" that's classic.

Jeremy

[Drtooth]

Here's another.

Stewie was playing with a talking Sesame Street Phone and calling up bomb threats. He regisisters a complaint on it, and makes a nasty quote about Linda, "As for sending Death threats to a deaf woman..."

On this one espisode of Pinky and the Brain (where Brain becomes a Sumo wrestler), Pinky is playing with a Tickle me Bimbo (?) doll. Brain shows him a giant Sumo suit, to which Pinky replies, "You got the Tickle me Dom Deluise! He's the rarest one of them all!

[jeremyactor]

Yes, that last stewie quote goes something like this

Sitaution: We see stewie playing with a sesame street phone (you push a button and Bert says something, then push another button and oscar says something - you know what I'm talking about"

Ernie: Hello! I like talking to you!

Stewie: Now don't toy with me ernie, I've got 6 armed men stationed outside Mr. Hooper's, and as for Linda? well, it's rather difficult for a deaf woman to hear an assassin approach.

I KNOW something goes between the hooper's line and the linda line, but for the life of me I can't think of it. I can hear him say it, but I can't make out what he's saying in my mind.

AUGHH!
Jeremy

[the_great_gonzo]

the other line is:

ERNIE:Can you count to 3?

STEWIE:Well let's see.
(while shooting phone)
STEWIE:1-2-3. Can I count to 3. Honestly I'm shooting at a fifth grade level.

[jeremyactor]

That's not what I was thinking. I just downloaded the clip. The exact wording is:

Stewie: Put me through to the pentagon!
Ernie: Do you know what sound a cow makes?
Stewie: don't toy with me, Ernie! I've already dispatched with Mr. Hooper, I've got 6 armed men stationed outside Big Bird's Nest, and as for Linda? Well it's rather difficult for a deaf woman to hear an assassin approach!

Jeremy

[Drtooth]

It's Halloween, and Hank is at megalomart with Bobby and Peggy. Bobby picks out his coustume, one of the 101 Dalmations. Hank is clearly disgusted, and goes on a tangent about what happened to Vampires and Goasts.

Hank: Look at this stuff. Elmo, Aladdin, Jenny McCarthy... I don't even know what these things are!

I think that on The Wayans Brothers, Shawn & Marlon might have called Pops "Kermit" (NOT Pops The Doorman, this is a different Pops). anyways, they might have a called him Kermit once because they always joke about how he looks like a frog

[Drtooth]

On Hollywood Squares (an episode without any muppet in it), Ellen DeGeneris (sp?) got the question: In a recent Poll, which Sesame Street Character do kids most want to Hang out with.
Ellen: Hang out? Is that like Hooking up? Id' like to hook up with Elmo.

Needless to say, the Answer WAS Elmo, and X got the square for agreeing!

[jeremyactor]

Okay, this came from Conan O'Brien, and it is kind of adult themed - but since it aired on Network TV I'm going to post it anyways.

If you're easily offended don't look.

From one of their "In the Year 2000" bits:

"Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy will break up. Kermit becomes a devout jew, and can no longer eat pork."

[LadyHyde]

There was one from the 3rd series of "Digimon" with some people at a NASA-type organization watching the radar-

Person 1-It looks like a monster on the radar....
Person 2-Like those furry ones on public television? My kids love those guys. :D

(I can't remember how it went exactly, but I thought it was funny they included it in a dub.)

[Drtooth]

Here's some

On an episode of Men in Black the Animated series, Agent K says to agent J that, "you're too green for feild work!" J protests and adds, "GREEN?!?! Kermit the Frog is Green!!!!"

On an episode of Eek the cat, aliens want to destroy earth, Eek, then tells him that he'll destroy great wonders. He lists some, and mentions The Muppets.

On the episode of the Simpsons in which Lisa Baby sits Bart, Flanders comes in and says, "Homer? I got a Fozzie of a Bear of a problem. Maudes Sisters (?) were in the holy land and they must've gone to the wrong temple and prayed to the wrong God, cause they've been taken hostage!"

[punkNpuppets]

haha, fozzie of a bear!

i saw that episode.

[Drtooth]

In the episode of the Simpsons where Krusty fakes his death, David Crosby is at the funeral, and he's holding the Kermit the Frog Puppet.

This picture is also on the Simpson's cast poster!

This isn't techincally a TV refference, but in the first published The Tick comic, Ben Edlund kinda had Bunsen and Beaker (as humans, not Muppets) in it.

[punkNpuppets]

i just saw one on Even Stevens
this is the NON-muppet stuff that i found on TVTOME.com
Mrs. Stevens wants Ren to take an internship with a city councilman. Ren's schedule is already overloaded, but she says yes to please her mother. Louis finds clues that lead him to believe that Ren is up to something secret. When he finds out another girl got the internship that Ren told their mother she'd gotten, he begins spying on her. He follows her to Tokyo Rick's restaurant, where he's surprised to see Ren singing onstage under the name "Isis." Louis torments Ren by doing things like putting up posters all over school advertising her appearance at the restaurant. He also persuades his parents to go to Tokyo Rick's. Ren gets mad at him and calls him a "nothing boy." She apologizes and confesses that she's been singing to release some of the pressure from all her other duties. Louis now wants to stop his parents from going to the restaurant, but they've already left. He catches them there and tries to distract them, but they see Ren. After some explaining, the four of them end up on stage singing together.

here's the muppet reference:
Ren was wearing a yellow feather boa and Louis see's one feather on her. he get's suspicious and talks to Twitty, and Louis concludes that
"Big Bird was on the run from Japanese spies? When Ren found Big Bird in our closet!"

[punkNpuppets]

here's a DISGRACEFUL one:
it's from Kid's Say The Darnest Things.

GIRL: My little brother always wakes me up to watch Sesame Street!
BILL: What's wrong with that?
GIRL: I don't want to see some stupid Big Bird flyyying arroouund.


once kids became first or second graders, they have NO RESPECT for Sesame Street.

PLUS, Big Bird CAN'T fly!

On Conan O'Brien last night:

They are going through the new US stamp designs, and come upon the embarrassing Celebrity scandals set

They show one with Someone punching Nelson Mandella in the fact, the go to "Cookie Monster's crack bust". You see Cookie in handcuffs, and he's got with dust all over his face (like crack).

[Drtooth]

This one isn't really a reffenence per see. Remember the episode of Seinfeldf in which Jerry Cashed Checks from his grandma, and they bounced because she didn't have the account anymore. This guy with a high pitched girls voice keeps harassing Jerry, and Jerry hosts the PBS telethon? If you look clssely in the back ground at the studio, just outside the dressing room, you can see at least Two Big Bird posters, framed (plus a Mister Rodgers one!)

On the short live WB series Hype, they had a parody of Bear called Big Blue Bear in the House in which he sings a song about.....well...I can't tell you! I'll get booted off this board so fast. It was pretty offensive, but kinda funny at the time.

[the_great_gonzo]

this was on Friends last night:

Ross and Rachel have hired an oversenstive male nanny. Ross decides to fire him. Rachel walks away and says, "Oh I can't watch. It's like firing Elmo."

[Drtooth]

I don't know why I watched this, but they Mentioned Sesame Street on Looney Toons Babies. Apparently, the plot (what I got of it) featured the TV getting Broken or the power going out or something, so they put on their own shows with a cardboard TV, and they were the players (sounds familliar, huh?) Bugs, Tweety and Taz did some sort of Sesame Street Parody (that I can't recall the name of) and says, "Today's show is broguht to you by the letter (he holds up a scribble, he can't read just yet) and the number one Billion (?)!" SOmeopne asks why he used that, and he says "All the other numbers were taken by that other show." Taz was the Grump (a take off on Oscar the Grouch) and lived in a crate. That's all I got.

On the live action Tick, Tick was going through an identity crisis. Then Arthur (as a narrator) says that maybe the Tick has lost his mind (or the rough equivillant). The Tick is watching Grover, and he says..."DADDY????"

On an opening of an Episode of Garfield and Friends, Garfield says, "Today's show is brought to you by the letter K and the number 9!"

On last seasnon's Simpsons, in which the Republican Party destroys the enviroment, Krusty Suggests, "How about we gewt rid of PBS? Those lousy Muppets have been stealing food out of my mouth for too long!"

[GonzoLeaper]

this is just a quick message in reply to Cantus Rock.
What does "imposing your beliefs on others" mean?
By stating what you believe?!!! If you don't agree with what I believe, you don't have to. But I will speak up for the Truth when it is subverted. And I will speak up for Jesus- the only God and Savior. People get "offended" too much.


By the way, Yoda was indeed made by Jim Henson and The Creature Workshop and Frank Oz performed him in the first three Star Wars movies. Unfortunately, in the prequel movies, he is being done via CGI.

Also, Full House is a cool show too.

[Drtooth]

Last night on Hollywood Squares, Alec Baldwin got the Question "Does Cookie Monster only eat Cookies?" (or something to that extent) and Ale answered, "I'd hate to break it to you, he's a PUPPET!!!" He answered yes, and the host said "RIGHT! He eats vegetables and Fruits to teach kids nutrition." (Half an answer. He eats Trucks, Plates, any collapsable prop they feed him...)

They also had one about various places on the Simpsons.

[Jeffrey Gray]

Here's another one:

In Dogma, right before Jay shoots Bartleby's wings off, he says:
"Hey, Big Bird! Time to play the counting game! Count the shells!"

And BTW, Yoda was not created by the Henson workshop. He was actually created by Lucas' group, with help from makeup designer Stuart Freeborn.

[punkNpuppets]

there were alot of references to the muppets on the Muppet Show.

[the_great_gonzo]

there was a quick reference on tonight's Do Over:

Pat's mom is talking about a client she had that wanted to get corn rows. Pat's mom then says. "Mind you she looks like Snuffleupagus"

Plus they showed the Mastercard commercial during a break so I got it on tape!

[punkNpuppets]

here's another Wayans Bros one:

Shawn and Marlon find a baby by their doorstep that they have to take care of. They go through the baby-bag-thing and go through all the stuff, including diapers, a bottle, and a rubber duckie. Marlon takes the rubber duckie and starts singing "Rubber Duckie, you're the one". Shawn continues going through the stuff until he does his trademark 'hit Marlon on the back of the head' and says "Will you shut up, boy!"

[Drtooth]

Don't ask me why... I saw an episode of Antiques Road Show in which they were talking about New Orleans and Maris Gras, and showed several people in costumes. Two people were together, and one was wearing a Bert mask, while the other was wearing an Ernie one....

[the_great_gonzo]

this one's from a Celebrity Jeopardy skit on Saturday Night Live. Alec (Will Ferrell) is naming the categories and he goes:

"FAMOUS MUPPET FROGS. Let me start by saying all the answers in this category are Kermit The Frog."

[Drtooth]

In the Movie Jingle all the way, one store has Sesame Street Doll visable (mostly Elmo). A guy walks buy carrying a Big Bird doll when Arnold S. punches the Turbo man Cardboard display out. Later, in the Parade Scene, you can see costumed caracters of Ernie and Bert (non Muppet ones to look out for.. The Tick, Gumby, Leonardo of the Ninja Turtles)

On last night's King of the Hill, Hank and Bobby are watching the Thanksgiving parade, and Hank says, "Hmm.. That Miss Piggy baloon has the same hair as your Mother!"

[jeremyactor]

In the Blues Brothers movie (the original), right before Jake and Elwood smash the car into the Toys R Us, you see someone hold up a Kermit doll and ask a clerk "Do you have this in a Miss Piggy?" Maybe a reference to the fact that Frank Oz was in the movie as the warden - maybe not.

Jeremy

[Gonzo14]

There was an Episode of the Cosby show where Dr. Huxtable dreamed that 2 muppets (I believe it was Doglion and Sweetums) kidnapped him and took him to a hospital where he was shoved on a stage that looked just like the muppet show stage, Gonzo came out and announced they were going to perform surgery of Dr, Huxtable, there was also a Balcony with 2 hecklers, one was Statler, the other was Bill Cosby dressed like Waldorf

In Forest Gump, Forest Jr. was watching Sesame Street

On Cheers, Diane said Sam's kind a intellectual stimulation was counting with Big Bird

[LadyHyde]

There was another reference to a Miss Piggy balloon on "Married with Children" where Bud's sick on Thanksgiving and having some naughty, cold-medicine induced thoughts about her.:rolleyes:

[punkNpuppets]

that show rulez!!!!

[Drtooth]

Dispite the fact I cannot stand the show, I was watching Will and Grace last night (someone had it on the telivision, and he liked it) but The really annoying screachy guy (Jack, I guess) Forced Will to sing the Twelve days of Christmas like "The Count from Sesame Street"


It still wasn't funny!

[Foreignman]

Speaking of "annoying screachy guys", I was watching Saved by the Bell the other day, it was the episode with the frog disection. This was a Junior High episode, from the years with Zack, Lisa, Screach, and three other kids whose names I can't recall, Jessie, Slater, and Kelly hadn't arrived yet. Anyway, the main girl character from that era brings the disection, which disgusts her, to her friends attention, to which Screach screaches "Not Kermit!", the girl replys annoyed, "we're talking actual life here, Screach, not puppets." I hate it when they're called puppets... They're not puppets, they're Muppets.

[LadyHyde]

There's one from "Punky Brewster" I liked. It's from an episode where Punky's invited to a rich guy's birthday party, and she asks Margo for ettiquette lessons. So, she and Cherry are taking the lesson on how to sit properly-

Punky: (Through clenched teeth) I feel like a Muppet.
Cherry: You are turning a little green....

[the_great_gonzo]

i found a couple more Family Guy ones. They're both from the episode where they go to New York.

First up, The Griffins are checking into their hotel and Peter says, "Hey do you have any rats that are bellhops like the muppets?"

Then later,Meg is showing Peter her bird calls, she does one and Big Bird comes up. He says some stuff that I can't exactly say on here but it's hilarious.

Also last night on Saturday Night Live, they were singing a song and Tracy Morgan was dressed up like Chicken Dance Elmo.

[Drtooth]

I was watching CBS Sunday Morning, and they had a story about an art gallery having some sort of DJ Mix master event, but only using Christmas records...
The one they used most frequently was the Sesame Street Christmas Album, and they mixed and scratched the Count's "All I Vant for Christmas are my two front teeth.."

I think this exhibit is still open somewhere, it was only yesterday..

You Know, That sounds pretty creepy.

Hope I won't catch that on The Simpsons.

[casanovOz]

There is also an old "Mother Goose and Grimmy" comic strip which I have on my wall where Grimmy is trying to perform a puppet by saying "what is the top of a house called?" the puppet responds: "woof" and then Grimmy looks at the reader abd says, "hey, Jim Henson had to start somewhere!"
:)

[Boober_Gorg]

In the Peter Sellers movie Being There (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0078841), Sesame Street is seen on a TV set. To be exact, it's a clip from #1037, where Buffy sings to Big Bird.

[casanovOz]

I dowloaded and old episode of Mystery Science theatre 3000, who have made many muppet references which I can't exactly remember. but this episode was called "Deathstalker and the Warriors from ****." and they saw the bad guy and Mike said "he looks like Sam the American Eagle"

lol, I dont think there's ever been a Sam reference

Once I have every episode (I have about 95 now, so I still have a ways to go), I'm going to go through and find all the direct Muppet refs and send them into Ward E at the Info Club. :)

[Drtooth]

One of my favorites? On the New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show, Michaelangelo said, "As a Wise Frog once said, 'it's not easy being green!' He didn't know the half of it!"

On some episode oof My wife and Kids (I dislake the show, so I wasn't paying attention) Damian said someone looked like a frog, then called him Kermit, and did a bad impersonation of him....

The other night, I was watching a rerun of That '70s Show. The title of the episode was "That '70s Musical". Anyhoo, they started the episode out by singing "Sing a Song" from Sesame Street. It was "pitchy neat."

[Beauregard]

I got one.

Die Another Day:

Jinx: Are you here for the penguins or just the veiw?





There!!! A muppet reference!!!

Also in So Long and Thanks For all the Fish by Douglas Adams there is a reference to a lumonous Kermit doll!!!

[LadyHyde]

I was just watching "I Love the '80s-1982" and Michael Ian Black is summing up "Rocky III" by saying-

"The plot of 'Rocky III' is as follows: Sylvester Stallone appears on 'The Muppet Show' , Mr. T is in it, and Rocky fights Mr. T."

They even had Kermit looking out of the O!:)

[Jeffrey Gray]

This is a computer game reference, but what the hey:

In Worms: Armageddon, at least for some of the voice banks, when you attack someone with Air Strike, one of the possible things your worm will say into the walkie-talkie to call in the air strike is "Come in, Big Bird!"

[Super Scooter]

Of course, there's the Everwood reference. The one girl on Everwood always used to call Ephrim "Grover."

[CrouchinWiteKid]

I just got Family guy on DVD, so I know all the muppet references from season one and two.

From the episode the_great_gonzo was talking about:
(MEG and PETER are sitting on a bench in New York by an Ice Rink)
MEG: (Birdcalls)
(3 Seconds of silence)
BIG BIRD: Yeah, what'd want?
(Awkward silence from MEG and PETER)
BIG BIRD: You called me, right?
MEG: (half chuckling) No, I-
BIG BIRD: Oh, so this is funny to you? I can't fly, you know. I have to take the subway. Oh, I don't get stares. You make me sick (Spits on MEG, walks away) *****.

From The episode when the Griffins get their own reality show, and Meg is replaced by a sexier girl.
(The following has the camera look of MTV's The Real World. Chris is playing outside in the sprinkler as the camera films he and Peter)
PETER (With puppet MADAME, of "Solid Gold") : Hey, Camera guy, watch this! (to MADAME) Madame, your a lusty old broad!
PETER as MADAME: Darling, you're the one with your hand on my backside!
(The Camera now follows the more interest "MEG" as she joins CHRIS in the sprinkler)
PETER: Hey come back here! She's gonna sing "Rainbow Connection!"

[Drtooth]

Okay... did anyone bring this up yet?

King of the Hill: Bobby Kisses a plastic head for refference on how to kiss for a party.

Hank: You're the one sitting him down in front of those Muppets! They got Pigs Kissing Frogs... no wonder!

(or something to that extent)

Plus on Mad Tv, there was a sketch in which someone was Anna Nichol Smith and she saw herself in the Televisions and said, "Look! It's a celebrity! It's Miss Piggy!"

[Beakie]

I remember one from Whose Line Is It Anyway, they're doing one of those things where the style keeps changing and it was something about killer bees I think, they change to the style of Sesame Street and one of the guys says in a Bert voice "Can you spell Bee?" and another says in an Ernie voice "You can't spell B, Bert, it's only one letter!"

There's a lot of Simpsons Ones........

The Episode When The Simpson Family Is Watching a Muppet Movie With (I Hope I Can Spell His Name Right) Troy Maclure.

A Quick Scene in a episode When Bart Make A Bad Joke On Ernie & Bert, He said that they were (You Know)

In the song there were Simpsons characters (Ned Fladders, Apu, Sideshow Mel & A Spoof On Oscar With A Green Fur And A GREEN EYEBROW THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BROWN) come out of the Trash cans singing "who can, who can, who can, who can !"


And That episode when PBS Attacks Homer


If there is anything I missed, Please let me know. :)

[Beakie]

oh and, another Yoda one, there was a Star Wars parody tv special thing called Thumb Wars that had a Yoda-like puppet in it.. something like this

Luke-Skywalker-like character: Who are you?
Yoda-like thing: I am a puppet! Yeees!
Luke-Skywalker-like character: ... What?
Yoda-like thing: From the floor the man does control me! Yeees!
Luke-Skywalker-like character: I feel I am to train under you.
Yoda-like thing: Train you will I! Train you I will! Yeees!

[Muppet Pro]

I heard That The Simpson Writers are big huge fans of The Muppets. And can The PBS attacks Homer Episode Mean that The Writers Love The Muppets But Not too big on Sesame Street ?

[Foreignman]

In the season finale of Curb your Enthusiasm, Larry injures a food critic in a dodge ball game. Later he goes to apologise to the man whose arms are in full casts after breaking his thumbs. The critic says "I look like a @#$%ing Muppet!".

It'd make sense seeing as how one of them helped in the writing for IAVMMCM...

I wonder if Matt (Creator Of The Simpsons) Is a Big Muppet Fan Too.

[Super Scooter]

Well, this isn't exactly a Muppet reference, but, on SNL, there used to be a segment called Morning Latte (with Cheri Oteri and Will Ferrell). Will Ferrell's character's name was Tom WILKINS, named after the coffee that the Muppets, Wilkins and Wontkins, used to advertise for.

[LadyHyde]

There was one on "The Simpsons" a few weeks ago with Maggie's Elmo doll-"No Means No Elmo".;)

[janicegroupie]

This isn't really a Muppet reference but I found this really cool so I'll share it anyways. On the first episode of Seinfeld the outside of the diner they're in is Pete's from the Muppets Take Manhatten. I was so excited when I observed that.

Yeah, that's one of my brother's favorites. Let's see what all I can remember that hasn't been mentioned here yet.

Full House: Quite a few "Sesame" references here. Of course we have Joey's Kermit impressions. Also, in an earlier episode (Jingle He**) Stephanie mentions that Joey and Jesse should be partners like Bert and Ernie. Then they both say, "No puppets." (Yes, I know that should have been Muppets.) Also, in the episode "Rock the Cradle," the family is playing Pictionary and Michelle keeps guessing big bird. Then when it's her turn she draws Big Bird (of course her drawing doesn't look much like Big Bird, but you know what I mean.) Later in that episode she asks if Jesse and Rebecca's baby is going to be a boy or a girl. Jesse says that's just what they'll call it until they find out if it's a boy, or a girl or a nine-foot yellow Muppet. (I know that's an error, because Big Bird is only eight feet.)

Hmmmm. Here's another one...

Sabrina, the Teenage Witch: Libby is turned into a puzzle and Sabrina has to find her missing pieces. She finds a collection of something with something else that doesn't fit in that collection. Then her Quizmaster starts singing "One of These Things Just Doesn't Belong Here."

I'm sure there are many more of them. I'll have to post here when I think of them.

[Super Scooter]

There was one on Friends once where Monica and Pheobe are talking about some guy with a long, barely pronouncable name. Rachel comes in and hears them talking about this, and remarks, "Who's Mr. Snuffa-Snuffleupagus?"

[Daffyfan2003]

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Episode "Do You See What I See?"

Sabrina: Miles still thinks Bert and Ernie were sent here by the supernatural.

Hilda: I wish those two would just come out and lay that rumor to rest! (Something, like that. I might have to check the transcripts page for the exact wording, but you see what I mean.)

Hollywood Squares:
Tom: Have they ever discussed pregnancy on "Sesame Street?"

Brad Garrett: Yes, it was with a character called the Nookie Monster.

Full House Episode "Divorce Court:" Two SS references here: Danny, Joey and Jesse have a race and bet that the winner chooses the costumes for the losers at the Halloween party. Joey remarks that he already picked out the costumes, "Big Bird meet Mr. Snuffleupagus." Also, later in that episode Stephanie said that sharing a room with Michelle is like "a nightmare on Sesame Street."

[LadyHyde]

There used to be a show called "Bone Chillers" on ABC and at the end of an episode about a crazed ape, the school cook comes out with a stack of Banana Cream pies in his arms and sings out "TEN BANANA CREAM PIES!" And of course, he falls over and makes a mess.

Classic Sesame reference. Gotta love it.

[radionate]

I don't know if this one has made it into the list or not, and I'm not about to go back and read them all.

On "Animaniacs", in the short "Video Review" (available on the video "The Warner's Escape", "Muppet Family Christmas" is featured, with a very ugly Kermit and Piggy (who also make a cameo at the end).

(This post features the most quotations I've ever used in my life!) ;)

INTER MUPPET MUPPET REFFERENCES!!!



First episode of the Jhh

Digit, while under the TV influence states, "Today's show was brought to you by the letter Friday, Joe Friday with more precipitation Saturday morning... and you are NO jack Kennedy"

Muppet Babies

On the episode where they have a Newspaper, they show a brief clip of Oscar the Grouch.

On another (I forget, it must have been last season) Fozzie and Gonzo were in a blimp, and they flashed a Picture of Big Bird.

Sesame Street

Papa Bear picks out names for the new Baby.
"Lesse... Fuzzy...Wuzzy..Oooh! Fozzie!"
"That's a terrible name for a bear!!!"

(there are others, but I can't think of them)

Muppets

On Hollywood Squares, Kermit Mentioned Bear in the Big Blue House

On Muppets at Walt Disney World, Piggy is astride a giant Nazi Plane, shooting Machine Guns at the Indiana Jones Exhibit, to which Kermit says, "How are we going to explane this to Big Bird?!?!"

[uncleduke]

What a great thread

Don't know if these were posted or not, I tried to read all the other posts, and didn't catch them:

In the MST3K Episode "Angels Revenge" Crow sees one of the extras killed in a shoot out, and says "they Killed Jim Henson" (he did sorta look like him)

The Blues Brothers

(literally) moments before the Mall car chase a patron in a toy store holds up a plush (either Grover or Cookie Monster) and asks "Do you have any Miss Piggy?"

An American Werewolf in London

During David's nightmare, where his house is attacked by Nazi Wolfmen, the family is watching the Muppet Show on TV

Into the Night
In (I think) the hotel Lobby, you can see Jim Henson on the phone, talking to Miss Piggy!
(also, Jeff Goldblume and Michelle Pfeiffer take a stroll down a very familiar looking street....

gosh, maybe John Landis is a closet Muppet Fan?

[jediX]

I'm not sure if this was brought up in an earlier post but Big Bird cameo'ed on the short-lived Dan Ackroyd show "Soul Man". I have this episode on tape, actually....(don't ask me why...lol)

Last night while I was watching tv during a Sister Sister rerun they made some obscure reference to Sesame Street, I can't really remember WHAT was said but I think it was along the lines of "they wouldn't do that on Sesame Street".

[Muppet Pro]

The Simpsons

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)

An Episode when people thought Krusty The Clown Was Killed because he flew his Plane into a cliff, In the funeral scene, One Of The People who was sitting down Had a Kermit Doll in her lap.

In a Simpsons Poster

The Poster when They Had A Huge Group Of The Simpson Characters, There's a Tiny Picture Of The Simpsons Version Of Kermit With a small Sigaret in his mouth. If You have or seen this poster, You Might Have To Play Where's Waldo or in this case Where's Kermit.


South Park

A man is trying to make a huge group of little girls (plus there all twins), then a guy picks up a Kermit Puppet and moving his mouth and he says in a stupid voice "Oh Look at the silly froggy, Look at The Silly Frogggggy!" then they show the girls just standing there frowning.

On the back of a Heavy Medal Music CD Cover

There's a Fire In The Background with a Huge happy mob and there's a guy on there holding a huge Ernie Doll On this shoulders.

[towels]

Doesn't Frank do a cameo in almost all of Landis's movies?

[Drtooth]

This one's kind of fuzzy (a refference to a Sesame Street skit), but I'll counted as a Muppet Refference anyway

On Cow and Chicken, these two bullies were... uh.. bullying each other, and one sticks a banana in their mouth, the bully mumbles, to which the other replies...

"I cain't here you! You got a banana in your mouth!!!"

[Muppet Pro]

On A Simpsons Comic,, A Muppet Babies Spoof "Poochie Babies".

Dexter's Labratory & The Powerpuff Girls: TV Puppet Pals

The Powerpuff Girls: in the episode "Ploys are us" : If You Look In The pile of Plush Dolls In The Girls bedroom, a doll that almosts look like Bert (With Dots For Eyes, You Only See A Small Head that looks like him Thought.)

And On Home Movies (on Cartoon Networks's Adult Swim) A Quick Picture Of Muppet Type Puppets on There TV.

And On 3rd Rock From The Sun, The Mother Is Watching Sesame Street (The Skit When Ernie Didn't Know that Bert Was In The Pile of Sand.)

And On America's Funniest Home Videos, A Tape of a Bert Costume From Sesame Street Live Falls Over The Edge OIf The Stage, A Kid Crys When He was listening To "I don't want to live on the moon And Finaly Bob Saget says "I sound just like Ernie From Sesame, (Does His Voice Of Ernie) "They Must Be Gloom !"

:p :( :)

[Drtooth]

I remember America's Funniest People... I dunno why... anyway, someone did an impersonation of Johnny Mathis and Gonzo singing "Chances are"

[Drtooth]

In an episode of King of Queens, Carrie and Doug have to babysit Deacon (?)'s children. At one point Carrie says, "We've watched Elmopalooza 5 times, and I feilded some tough questions about Ernie and Bert's relationship!"

[Drtooth]

(BUMP)

Come on... you have to try harder, guys :)

On the King of Queens, (I forget the guy's name) this guy comes out, complaining he has to take a shower. He's got a bathrobe and showercap on, and he's holding a scrub brush. Carrie looks at him and says, "You look like ernie from Sesame Street!"

On Jimmy Neutron (I think the episode was called Broadcast Blues) Sheen performs a puppet show with a "Sound alike" Muppet show theme playing in the background.

[jediX]

Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live he had this germ puppet on there and he said it was like the drug episode of Fraggle Rock.

[Mr.Penguin]

Also,in "Full House" there's that one guy(is it Joey?)does a Kermit impression. I believe it goes like this:

"....(:))Well I'm fluent in frog,(Bullwinkle)I studied moose in Wossamatta U....."

Oh,and PunkNPuppets, the song does go "Dododododo", "PateePateePatee" was the later Sesame Street version. "Dododoo" was the original. :p


- :concern:

[jediX]

Full House references Muppets in some way every few episodes--it's kinda strange...

[LadyHyde]

I was watching "Married to the Kellys" on Friday, where the main character was trying to watch the b&w version of "A Christmas Carol", but as an act of goodwill towards his grieving mother-in-law, he took her shopping instead. She then thanked him by getting the DVD of "Muppet Christmas Carol" as a present. :)

[jediX]

Just spotted another one. In the Celebrity Jeopardy segment of this episode (I think the guest is Lucy Liu) of SNL, one of the categories is "famous Muppet frogs" to which the answer for every question is 'Kermit'.

[dwayne1115]

have you ever seen that show on CBs callled still standing well on one show the co star who i can,t remeber her name but i know she is the mom and i think she is really preety was wearing a kermit shirt. just ike saying that hey i got the frog in my heart or somthing who knows.

[Drtooth]

She wore Muppet shirts on three different occasions...

she wore Kermit, Cookie Monster (a Shirt that says "Me like Cookies" I think) and Oscar the Grouch...

Apparently, she also played Gilda Radner in the TV movie about her life.

[Muppet Pro]

On The Movie "ELF"

There was some Sesame Street plush dolls in the background at the toy store. Plus you see some person pick up and carring 2 huge Ernie dolls. :p

And On The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy: Crawling Niceness, Billy looks in Grim's trunk and then tosses things, And then he then he threw "....Dark Crystal..." And It looked like the crystal shard that he threw. :confused: :)

[agger_rob]

I don't know if anyone's mentinoed this, but on an old episode of SNL back when they did the Celebrity Jeopardy skits a lot, one of the categories was "Muppet Frogs" and Alex Trebeck (played by Will Ferrell) said, just in case you are wondering, every answer in this category is Kermit."

[Drtooth]

I love to dive into the most obscure refferences possible... Here's one from a local show (Massachusettes, and probabl;y other portions of New England get it)

There's this food critic show called the Phantom Gormet, and they were talking about the area's best bakeries...

In 2 shots of one bakery featured at the end of the show, there's a cake with a 3-D Elmo decorated out of icing....

[HeraLirambar]

I don't know if this was mentioned, so sorry if it was. I don't feel like reading this entire thread again.

Anyhoo, this doesn't have to do with Muppets, but it's puppety, so I thought I'd mention it. It was on Family Guy, and one of the characters was saying something about how Peter couldn't be left alone, because the last time he was, he turned their house into a puppet. Then it wnt to a clip of him inside the house, pulling on a rope, and speaking into a microphone or something. Next, it showed the outside of the house, and the roof was raising up and down, like a puppet's mouth. It was hai-larious.

[agger_rob]

Ok, here's one I haven't seen... On SNL a little while ago, Justin Timberlake was hosting. One of the skits was he said that hosting SNL was one of his dreams, and another one was to sing a duet with Kermit the Frog. The camera panned out to see a poor imitation of Kermit on a brick wall. They start to sing some song and Timberlake steps in a little close to where the pupetteer would be and Kermit yells ouch. It happens one or two more times, the whole time the Kermit impersonator keeps making comments like "If you would have learned where your mark is we wouldn't have this problem." And then they get into a fight. Not quite the best representation, but it was still pretty funny.

[Matteo]

There is a reference of SS in the Simpsons ep. ___ (in italy names "Missionario impossibile"), where SS charachters Elmo, Oscar and Big Bird are chasing and trying to kill Homer. I think somebody could find this offensive, however look at this http://www.snpp.com/episodes/BABF11
You can find here some references to SS.

Hope this helps....

[Muppet Pro]

here's a DISGRACEFUL one:
it's from Kid's Say The Darnest Things.

GIRL: My little brother always wakes me up to watch Sesame Street!
BILL: What's wrong with that?
GIRL: I don't want to see some stupid Big Bird flyyying arroouund.


once kids became first or second graders, they have NO RESPECT for Sesame Street.

PLUS, Big Bird CAN'T fly!

Hey, I've Seen That One ! :) That One Was Kind Of Dumb ! :boo:

Hey, Did Anyone ever Seen A Episode Of The Simpsons Called "A Fish Called Selma." When Right In The Beganing Of The Episodes The Simpson Family Watches a Movie With Troy Macure & The Muppets In "The Muppets Go Minevil"

They Have Troy Talking To Miss Piggy (They Were Doing Alot Of Jokes On The Rods)

Then Kermit was in shinning armer with a sword and Said Something Like "Fear Not Piggy, I have come here to save you"

Then Troy Has Miss Piggy in his arms Then She Said "Not Now Frog ! Can't You See I'm Busy"

Then Lisa Said "Dad ? What's A Muppet ?"

Homer: Well, It's Not quite a mop, and it's quite not a puppet, BUT MAN !!! (laughs) So To Answer Your Question, I don't Know.

Bart: Why isn't That other Muppet Made out of lether

Marge: That's no Muppet ! That's Troy Macure.

I heard That The Simpsons Writers are Huge Muppet Fans And Also To right Miss Piggy's Line "Not Now Frog ! Can't You See I'm Busy" Must Really Have watched "The Muppet Show". Plus That Write "Tim (something)" was a Long Time Muppet Fan And Helped out as a screenplay Writer on "It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie". :)

[rexcrk]

Don't know if this was already posted, but in the PBS episode of the Simpsons, there's cameos by Big Bird, Elmo, and Oscar the Grouch. At one point when Homer's running away from the PBS people, he runs down an alley and Big Bird swoops down like an vulture or an eagle. Then when Homer goes into the church they throw a garbage can in an Oscar pops out and says "Give us the money!" and Elmo pops out and says "Elmo knows where you live!"

:p

[Muppet Pro]

I noticed That The Characher Of Oscar Was Much Better in The Garbage man Episode (except Oscars Eyebrow wasn't colored In.) And Elmo In That Episode Looked Like He Has A Forehead ! Nancy Cartwright's Elmo Impression Sounds More Like Ralph Or Rod & Todd. But I guess that's as close as their going to get on The Simpsons. :)

[Drtooth]

The Simpsons episodes (Fish Called Selma, Missionary Impossible, Trash of the Titans) were mentioned several times already...

However, there is one that was overlooked.

In "Grift of the Maji" a sales person said, "Don't you know how hard it is to come up with the next Furby or Tickle Me Elmo?"

ANd twice there have been "Tickle Me Krusty" dolls.

[rexcrk]

OMG! On the Simpsons, Flanders came to the Simpson household and he was like "Hey neighbor! I've got a Fozzie of a bear of a problem!" LOL!

On yesterday's new episode of "Ed,Edd n' Eddy" Eddy thinks up a new scam: he'll catch frogs, sell them to the kids and have them race for profit. Ed tries to attract frogs by dressing up like a female frog:all he wears flippers,his underwear,a blonde wig and a cardboard Kermit collar! :)

[sarah_yzma]

on the show Still Standing the mother *I'm not good with names* has worn seseme/muppet shirts quite often....it always makes me happy!

"You know, those Muppets don't really have thumbs"

there is a very amusing scene in Buffy where Cordelia tells someone to go "Spank your inner muppet".

ahah!

Is anyone interrested in an alphabetical list of these. I was thinking I could put together a twe columns, one with tv shows and one with movies, and you could click a show and see the referrences we have gathered so far, that we're made on that particular show.

I'll start on it tonight, if it would be usefull.

Oh, probably posted already but I don't have time right now to read every page but. There we're several on "Bufyy the vampire slayer"

In Buffy vs. Dracula:
Willow and Xander turn and see Dracula.

WILLOW: Hi.
XANDER: Nice. Look who's got a bad case of dark prince envy. (Behind him we see Buffy holding her stake, looking concerned)
DRACULA: I have no interest in you. Leave us.
XANDER: No, we're not going to (in Dracula's accent) "leave you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? (As the Count on Sesame Street) Vun, two, three -- three victims. Mwa ha ha!


And in Get it done:

PRINCIPAL WOOD
Mm, I don't know. It hasn't been opened since— (Buffy breaks off the lock with her bare hands) Well, since now.

XANDER
(pulls out metal figures from the bag) Puppets. That's it! The First hates puppets! Now if we can just airlift Kermit, Fozzie the Bear, and Miss Piggy into town, the First'll be a-running.

WILLOW
Those are Muppets.



And of course in the blues brothers, but that's pretty well known

This morning on the radio show I listen to- MJ Morning Show, MJ was singing it isn't easy being green and impersonating Kermits voice.

[Super Scooter]

She's All That, a girl is tweasing Rachael Leigh Cook's eyebrows.

"Have you ever watched Sesame Street?"
"Yeah."
"Ever hear of Bert?"

:(

[muppet maniac]

In the promo ad for "The Tracy Morgan Show",this little boy(Bobb'e J Thompson)holds up this Oscar shirt and says that he doesn't want to wear it at school because the other kids might make fun of him!(saw this trailer last year in the movie theater)

Then there was this reference on "Married With Children"
this girl mentions to this other guy who was feeling sad about something that went wrong(I think)and says to him something like "Bees gotta make honey,Cookie Monsters gotta eat what they gotta eat...."anyway,at least that's what I thought she said.I wasnt paying close attention!

Then on "The West Wing"(I wasnt really paying very much attention to this either),but there was this part with the PBS pledge break,and this guy mentions something about Sesame Street,and thren he says "What,you want a Fozzie,we don't have any Fozzies!"(or something like that,I don't know...)


-------------
And That episode when PBS Attacks Homer
------------
I've seen that episode too!

There was even one episode of The Simpsons where they go to Brazil and Bart watches this kids show on tv-a Brazillian version of Sesame Street,and had these strip dancers,a big,pink bird(maybe some take-off on Big Bird),a pineapple,and some lizard.Then Marge says "Ernie and Bert must have hit their imaginations"

[leliebel]

I was just whatching the jessica simpson reality show (don't ask me why) and she had elmo and cookiemonster cookies for her birthday

Oh, and this weekend my dad was whatching Glimmer man. And one of the characters was stalking around the corridors of a residential building and he jumped around the corner and was starteled by to kinds with waterpistols and he said something like this: Show down on sesame street, big bird will be popping round one of these corners next!

[lili]

I'm so excited! two of my favourite tv shows coming together in a beautiful union!!

Big Bird Goes to the White House

Marking what the British website Digital Spy described
as "possibly the most bizarre cross-over between two
series yet seen on television," several Sesame Street
characters are scheduled to appear on the March 3rd
episode of The West Wing. The characters reportedly
include Big Bird and Elmo, who make their appearances
when First Lady Abigail Bartlet, played by Stockard
Channing, is invited to appear in a Sesame Street
public service announcement in which she tells how she
can be both a First Lady and a doctor. (She ends up
giving Elmo a check-up.)

Just on the Academy Awards, Robin Williams made a joke about Micheal Eisner and Mickey Mouse in France with "All you will have left is the Muppets and a water slide!".

I don't know if this has been mentioned but I was just watching Full House and Joey had a stuffed Muppet Babies Gonzo (that looks very similar to the ones being sold now) and he did an impression of Gonzo then. :concern:

[Drtooth]

I reffered to a Phantom Gormet episode about the bakery and the Elmo cake...

I watch an episode about Italian food, and they had some small segment about the ABC's of Italian food...

at the end of the segment, one guy says "That felt like Sesame Street"

[sarah_yzma]

hehe...I remember that Full House ep.

[Drtooth]

I keep forgetting to post this, but...

I watched a rerun of Darma and Greg (I am dishonored... :o ) and there was this line

Greg: What's you're dad's favorite movie?

Pete: Pfft The Muppets Take Manhattan!

[Drtooth]

In, of all things, an episode of Super Mario Bros. 3, I found one...

In the episode Sneaky, lying, giant Ninja Koopas, not only do they have a reference to the TMNT movie, (Big Mouth said, "I love Bein' a Koopa," ala Michelangelo), there was also this one scene where a giant parrot whines about Koopa using its cage as a prison for Luigi, Toad, and Princess...

"My whole life was in that cage! My Big Bird Poster, my Worms from Outerspace Comics.... everything!"

[Klonoa]

Oh I missed that reference! And I have that Mario DVD too!

In a Friends episode (can't remember which one) I think... Joey (??? Maybe it was Chandler... I so don't remember this episode) has a girlfriend, and she has a really odd name so one of the 'friends' says "Is she from Fraggle Rock?"in that episode of friends chandler makes a new years resolution/bet with ross to be less sarcastic all the time and ross comes in and says he has a date with a girl named elisabeth hornswaggle. and at the end of the episode chandler finally cracks gives ross the money and says " Hornswaggle, what are you, dating a character from fraggle rock?" then he sighs with relief.

Hi folks,
Certainly I've got one you never heard of.
In 2001, comedian Giorgio Panariello and big-band member Paolo Belli were on a show together. As a theme, Paolo started to play "The muppet show". When Giorgio says: Would you do something a little more dramatic?, Paolo plays TMS theme song slowed down and sad. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[Drtooth]

Oh I missed that reference! And I have that Mario DVD too!

The real release, or the Cereal box one? I got the cereal box release...

wooo i havent posted on here in a while. anyways, in the movie Clerks, dante and randal were arguing on which star wars movie was better, Empire Strikes Back or Return Of The Jedi. dante said "all jedi had was a bunch of muppets"

[punkNpuppets]

oh and i remember this comedian named Ron White saying that once you have a kids car seat in the front seat of your pick up truck, you're man hood days are over. and he was acting like he was showin a truck off to his friends, and he said "Thats the.....play skool car seat, with the big bird steering wheel, you can honk that fat fella if u want. i'm gettin a cookie monster flip mirror in a few weeks"...well, it was something like that.

[The Good Doctor]

Gang this one my not count at all, but a long time ago they brought back the old Leave it to Bever with all the cast only all grown up. Wally his wife and Daughter were trying to come up with names for there soon to arrive new baby. Wally's wife suggets whay not let there daughter name the baby, and Wally says what if she choose Kermit!
Or something like that.

[LadyHyde]

There was one in "Sealab 2021" when they suggest doing something out of "Fantastic Voyage" where they shrink themselves down in a miniature rocket and get injected into the bloodstream. Stormie, the resident idiot, says it's like that episode of "Muppet Babies" where ;) has Spinal Menengitis....Well, at least that's what Stormie thinks, anyway. He's not the brightest bulb in the bunch, eh?

[GelflingWaldo]

I was just watching Full House and Joey had a stuffed Muppet Babies Gonzo.. and he did an impression of Gonzo
That's funny cause Dave Coulier, who played Joey on Full House, did several voices for "Muppet Babies"...none of the core characters, but he did play Uncle Waldorf and do other small parts for the show. :sleep:

[Drtooth]

After watching Family guy last night, I found a couple...

In the Pawtucket Pat brewery tour episode, one character was accomplished ninja, Jerry Nelson. Now, I'm not sure they named the character after the puppeteer, or it was a coincidence, or they just couldn't come up with a better name (since he was only one for a collective 20 seconds), but I'm taking it as a refference.

There was another, this one Convincing John posted a while ago, But I'm gonna archive it here...

In this episode about Peter going for sensitivity training after sexual harassment problems at his job, the final scene has The sensitivity training feminist teacher fighting with the housewife, Lois Griffin. They are at this gala party, and a Baker, singing comes out with "Te-e-en banana creme piiiiies!" and promptly gets knocked over.

There was an old man at one point in one episode that looked an awful lot like Statler, so I thought it was a refference, but I guess they draw all their old men to lokk like that...

[muppet maniac]

There was a reference to Miss Piggy in the Beastie Boys' song "Ch-Ch-Check It Out"

In their music video for "Right Right Now Now",there is a Kermit picture in one of the buildings behind them

[McFraggle]

I never realized the Miss Piggy reference before. :)

[DanDanStrawberry]

Sorry if these have been posted but I got a few myself...

On The Vicar of Dibley Gerraldine sits Alice down to tell her the Easter Bunny isnt real and says "Age 10, your mother sits you down and tells you Kermit is just an old green sock!" It was so funny!

Also in the song "The Garbageman Can" in The Simpsons episode called "Trash of the Titans" Oscar pops up and says "Who can?" I described that pretty badly!!

On Friends, Rachel was wearing a top with Cookie Monster on it

Another Simpsons episode, it was the one where Selma marries Sideshow Bob. At the start they're watching Dinosaurs. It was funny!

Countless Bert and Ernie jokes on Will and Grace as you would expect!!

Another episode of The Simpsons called "A Fish Named Selma" they're watching a movie called "Muppets Go Medieval!"

And (sorry only UK fans will relate to this one) on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway Kermit the frog was a guest star. But I didnt take note as I wasnt a muppet fan when it was on! Unfortunately!!

[Drtooth]

There was even one episode of The Simpsons where they go to Brazil and Bart watches this kids show on tv-a Brazillian version of Sesame Street,and had these strip dancers,a big,pink bird(maybe some take-off on Big Bird),a pineapple,and some lizard.Then Marge says "Ernie and Bert must have hit their imaginations"

The actual quote was "Ernie and Bert left it to your imaginations."

Anyway, I was watching a TV show on PBS called Second Hand Stories (I guess it's about people travelling from state to state looking for weird things from second hand stores and flea markets) and they go to this record store. They find these hard to find records, and play the weirdest ones. They showed a teach your bird to talk album (which said "Hello" repetitively for a half hour), Chipmunk Punk (the 1979 album relesaed by Ross Bagadassarian Jr. which brought back their popularity, leading to the 1980's cartoon) and then Sesame Street Disco. They played "me lost me cookie at the Disco" as an example!

[punkNpuppets]

in Private Parts when Howard Stern was debuting on this radio station, the dj said something like "we have our new dj and he looks like big bird" or something like that, i cant think very well this time in the morning. i also remember him saying "when we get back from the break, kermit the frog will be joining big bird in singing the alphabet."

[muppet maniac]

There was a clip from Elmo's World in the sequel to "Meet the Parents"

[Drtooth]

On that God-awful new "Commited" thing... on like, the first episode they had a refference to the Muppet version of Manah Manah (Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo). After that, I shut it off. Ghastly show.

[Vic Romano]

Some of these have curse words in them, and even though the filter will "star" them out, I apologize:
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back "Sesame street was originally my idea, but I was gonna' call it NWP, ******* with puppets! Catchy, ain't it?"
Killing Time - Dave Chapell Stand Up "...So then I switch over to Sesame Street, and I'm like 'Good', cause' now he'll learn how to count and spell. But then I realize that Sesame Street teaches kids something else, it teaches kids how to judge other people. They got a character on there called Oscar the Grouch. They treat this guy like ****. They're like: 'Oscar, you are so mean, isn't he mean kids?' 'Yeah Oscar, you're a real grouch.'
'*****, I live in a ******* trash can! I'm the poorest m*****-******* on Sesame Street!"
You can see some comics that use the Muppets on my web page or by clicking here. (http://vicromano.4t.com/photo.html)

[Drtooth]

On the 3rd Invader Zim DVD set, on the commentary of Mortos the Soul stealer, one of the people working on the show says, "By the end of the [recording] session, Mortos started to sound like a Muppet" another person pops out, "I like the Muppets!"

[HeraLirambar]

A few days ago on The Daily Show, during a bunch of clips (I won't say what of to avoid controversy although by saying that I've pro'ly said to much oh crap) Jon Stewart started singing "People in your Neighborhood."
:sing: :p

[LadyHyde]

There's a reference in the "Teen Titans" episode "Bunny Raven" where a puppet of their nemesis Mumbo the Magicial runs around the theater and two of them show up in the balcony as Statler and Waldorf, making wisecracks! Very funny reference. :excited:

[DanDanStrawberry]

Have the muppets ever guest starred on a sitcom?

[MuppetDude]

I've seen them on "The Cosby Show" and "Soul Man".

[LadyHyde]

Let's not forget Elmo on "The Torkelsons". That was one of my favorite episodes. :)

[sanfranciscogrl]

There is another episode of friends where Pheobe has realized her mother had not shown her the ending to sad movies like Old yeller. At the end of the episode she is watching Bert and ernie with Ross' son Ben. She pauses the show to tell ben that there is a scary part coming up when Ernie cant find Bert, but its ok because he finds him later. She starts playing the show again and then says something along the lines as "Im so glad your here" (in fear)

[McFraggle]

Let's not forget Elmo on "The Torkelsons". That was one of my favorite episodes. :)

I had completely forgot about "The Torkelsons." I liked it though. :)

[raysgal]

I was watching some soap opera on Monday around noon in the student lounge at my university. I think it was like "One Life to Live" or something like that and this character refers to these two old guys as Waldorf and Statler :boo: :sleep: (well, he doesn't say their names, but you get the reference) and asks where the hands that go up their behinds are.

It was kinda funny especially considering I almost never watch soaps and I was just about to fall asleep.

[Drtooth]

A while ago, I said there was a PBS show called "second hand stories" in which they find a Sesame Street Disco album at a second hand record shop. I didn't see the whole thing until recently... The program used "Disco Frog" in the intro, just the opening of the song, anyway. No vocals.

[Muppet Frog]

I just want to know if there were any Kermit references on My Life as a Teenage Robot?

[Daffyfan2003]

Last night while I was watching tv during a Sister Sister rerun they made some obscure reference to Sesame Street, I can't really remember WHAT was said but I think it was along the lines of "they wouldn't do that on Sesame Street".

Oh, I'm a big "Sister Sister" fan, so I'll respond to this one.

What happened was Lisa (the mother) needed money to send Tia to a private school, so she called PBS to see if she could get the money back that she donated in the pledge drive. Then she said "They don't use that kind of language on 'Sesame Street.'"

By the way, I also have a big list of Muppet references on "Family Guy." It's in the "You might be an obsessed Muppet fan" thread.

[theprawncracker]

Cookie Monster, Big Bird, and Elmo were on American Dad last Sunday.

And on the Fresh Prince Will Smith said, "I know how you feel, this is just like when I found out Kermit the Frog was just a piece of green felt with someone's hand up his butt.":D

[Muppet Pro]

The Simpsons make the funniest Muppet Parodies.
Oh, How about The Simpsons episode "Blame it on Lisa", When The Simpson family goes to Brazil and they watch their version of Sesame Street.
Marge: (To Bart) What are you watching ?
Bart: Kids show.
(Brazil version of Sesame Street appears, NOTE: Not to much of a Sesame Street)
Marge: Hmmmm..., Bert and Ernie really left it to their imagination! (Now, that joke I thought was very strange) :p :(

[Muppet Pro]

Cookie Monster, Big Bird, and Elmo were on American Dad last Sunday.

Boy that Family Guy Creator sure likes poking fun at The Muppets.
I Just seen the Ernie & Bert Parody on Family Guy.
I just want to give a compliment on the guy who was doing Bert's voice on that show.
(Phone)
(Bert grumbles)
Bert: (sighs) Hello.
Bert: (sigh) Son of a B****! I'm on my way.
Ernie: What's wrong Bert?
Bert: (sigh) Some poor B******* got his head blown off at a place called "Hopper's"
(Bert puts on his jeans, takes a drink of whiskey, then coughs)
Ernie: Bert, I wish you wouldn't drink so much Bert.
Bert: Well Ernie, I wish you won't eat COOKIES IN THE D*** BED!
Ernie: Bert, Your shouting again Bert!
(Classic Ernie & Bert ending music)
Bert: Ugh!

Seriously, I could help by laughing at the cookies in bed line.
Did you know that in this bit. Ernie & Bert were designed as real human beings living in a apartment in New York. And Bert's hair was Brown! :(

[Drtooth]

Marge: Hmmmm..., Bert and Ernie really left it to their imagination! (Now, that joke I thought was very strange) :p :(

It's yet another refference to the "Ernie and Bert are gay" theories that spread around in the 90's. I don't want to start the debate over, joust pointing out the joke, incase you didn't realize it.

The American Dad refference (I didn't tape it, so I'll try to transcribe it the best I can) goes like this.

Stan Smith is lying on the bed yelling: Shoot him! Shoot him!

The TV is running an episode of Sesame Street in which Cookie monster, Elmo and Big Bird are behind the brick wall they use in sketches (paid attention to detail, they did) and Elmo says: Elmo will just share his cookie with Cookie Monster!

To which Stan replies: You can't trust him., He doesn't even really eat the cookies.

[Kimp the Shrimp]

My Quote is from Family guy

Look Down

[Kimp the Shrimp]

Peter "Have they ever shown him doing somebody in and then feeding on him?"

Brian "...You're asking if they've ever done a Sesame Street in which the Count kills somebody and then sucks their blood for sustenance."

Peter "Yeah."

Brian "No, they've never done that."

[Drtooth]

Here's a couple more.

First, on Jackie Chan adventures, Jade absorbs the energy of a wind demon, causing here to become frog-like. She uses here newly gained powers to defeat some bad guys, and replies "Being green ain't so bad"


Then on Family guy (I don't know how to put this as inoffensively as possible, or if it'll go through the swear filter) Peter loses his family, Cleveland takes care of the kids. Desperate to get them back, he has to prove Cleveland is an unfit parent. He gets... umm.... a group of "Working Girls" to go into his house. Cleveland and the child services Associate walk in seeing these "ladies of the evening" sitting around. Peter says "Look how many pr*st*t*s there are!" and they are counted (to 7) in a manner exactly like they were in the Baker falling down stairs skit. (including on screen number text)

[theprawncracker]

In the latest Nintendo Power issue, there's a picture of some Pokemon and the caption says when you're this tough it's easier being green than you thought. Here's the picture.

There was one just on "Reno 911!" where a children's show host is filming a show with the cops. This personality has a humanoid radish puppet as a sidekick, but everyone notices the radish. Junior is telling him, it's the same thing when someone sees a picture of Jim Henson, that they'll think of Kermit first.

[Mario]

I didn't read through all 6 pages, but the episode of Simpsons where they show some Muppet Mideival film with, "Troy McLure." And Bart and Lisa ask Homer, "whats a muppet?" And Homer says, "Well its kind of like a mop and its kind like a puppet, but when you get.. ho ho hee, I dont know." or something to that extent. And on that tv show about the radio station, with Phil Hartman and Andy Dick. They were talking about Sesame Street, and Andy dick says, "I like Bert. Well, not like like." and he gets all nervous, "he's a puppet." 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.

[LadyHyde]

I know...the sad thing is, the rest of the population were like sheep and wanted to watch "American Idol" instead. At least the series is on DVD.

[theprawncracker]

There was an episode of King of the Hill on tonite, and it was titled "It's Not Easy Bein' Green."

[Mario]

After reading this thread, I used allusions to Kermit, and "it isnt being green" like 5 times today and yesterday.

[Katzi428]

I might have mentioned this on this thread so pardon me if it's repetitive:
"Full House" had a few Muppet references (thanks to Dave Coulier's/Joey's voice talents)
In one of the first episodes,Joey was talking like Kermit to keep Michelle from crying:"Um ...hi there Michelle....it's me Kermit the Frog!You don't wanna cry,do you?"
Then one of the guys (not sure which one;"Jesse" or "Danny") was sitting on a stuffed Gonzo. So Joey said in a Gonzo voice ,taking the stuffed Gonzo
"OW! The big guy hurt my nose!"
And my personal favorite:
One of the last episodes had Joey cooking in the kitchen & talking like the Swedish Chef! :D

[theprawncracker]

The new episode of Family Guy on Adult Swim tonight had a SS reference.

Peter led some prostitutes into Clevland's house to try to get his kids back(long story). Then Clevland comes home with the judge who decides if Peter keeps the kids, and Peter says, "Oh my judge look at all the prostitutes!" Then a voice that sounds like the counting voice on SS says, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7." And the numbers appear above the prostitutes, and Peter says, "That's 7, 7 prostitutes."

[GonzoLeaper]

I don't know if this was mentioned before, but I was recently watching the Pilot episode of ALF and I remembered a Sesame Street reference on there when Brian and ALF are watching television. In the background, we hear the "One of these Things" song playing and hear the person solve it. ALF comments, "Great. This and the letter "I" in 1 day." Brian asks ALF, "Do you get Sesame Street where you come from?" ALF answers, "No, and frankly I don't get it here either."

Last night on Family Guy, Stewie was doing something called CashScam and gave Brian money for his worm medicine. In exchange Brian had to work for Stewie.When Stewie called Brian into his office, he got a call on his Sesame Street phone from Grover. After arguing with Grover about the Letter G and his screaming at him through the phone, he hung up.

Then Stewie said to Brian, "Anyway send Lois a congratulatory basket of some sort. Oh, and if Cookie Monster calls, tell him I'm not speaking to him until he gets out of rehab."

They then cut to a scene at a rehab center with a doctor and two orderlies doing a "contraband check" in Cookie's room where they find a plate of cookies and after Cookie tries to make up an excuse, he like starts eating them and he's tackled by the orderlies and sedated.

Later on in the ladies room of the Drunken Clam, Lois catches Cookie Monster putting cookie dough in a spoon and heating it with a lighter trying to make a cookie and tells Lois to "Get out!"

That's about it.

[Muppet Pro]

New York Picture Of Kermit was seen on The Gwar Music Video War Party. :)

[Gonzo14]

did anyone see the Sesame Street spoof on Shorties watchin Shorties

[Drtooth]

"Oh my judge look at all the prostitutes!" Then a voice that sounds like the counting voice on SS says, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7." And the numbers appear above the prostitutes, and Peter says, "That's 7, 7 prostitutes."

I posted this just a few posts before this one... I didn't think "Prostitue" would have gone throught the swear filter or not....

also, as responding to the Cookie Monster in rehab jab, when he's eating the Cookie dough mumbling "c'mon, c'mon" lighting it up on a spoon, that's more or less a "freebasing" refference... oddly enough one of 3 or 4 drug refferences in that episode alone.

[Xerus]

It's amazing how Family Guy can get away with making SS characters do these outrageous, adult things.

[AbbessBryony]

I don't think no one posted about this one yet. I didn't feel like checking to make sure. :o

Anyway, there are two references to The Muppet Show in the Teen Titans episode "Bunny Raven" [Info taken from titanstower.com]:

"Muppet reference number one: The Muppet Mumbo announcer who appeared several times; Similar to the way Kermit would introduce a show or segment. The animated team thought the Muppets reference seemed appropriate given the theater/vaudeville theme of the episode.
Muppet reference number two: The two older audience members in the balcony were a staple on The Muppet Show. They would often make jokes at the expense of the show."

Oh, yeah. There was a Liberace look-alike as well.

I thought it was nice that the Teen Titans staff did that.

[Gonzo14]

has anybody mentioned the Simpsons episode where Homer got PBS mad at him, they showed Big Bird, Oscar, and Elmo

[TogetherAgain]

Yes, several people have, several times. We know. "Elmo knows where you live".

[Gonzo14]

how 'bout on Friends when Monica admitted to having a crush on Kermit

[Xerus]

I was reading the Friday paper today and looked at the black and white comics. In Mother Goose and Grimm, it showed Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo, dressed as cowboys and on horses. They meet a huge hand and Kermit says, "Sure, Stranger. We'll hire you. We can always use an extra HAND!" :)

[scooter289]

Ok, this one's been said once i believe, but I'm going to elaborate on it:

On the Simpsons Moe is babysitting Maggie and trying to figure out what to do, and he says that they can't paly with Tickle Me Elmo and the doll says, "No means No for Elmo!" and slaps Moe.

On another episode of the Simpsons the Simpsons are arrested because people belive them to be Anti-American and inside the prison are people such as the Dixie Chicks, Bill Clinton, and Elmo who says something about going to the wrong event or something like that. Later homer says, "I don't wanna end up like Elmo, hanging myself in my cell."

That's it.

[Gonzo14]

there was an episode of Full House where they were playing charades and Michelle would always yell out Big Bird, and when she was up, everyone guessed Big Bird and she said "wow, you guys are good at this"
