Companion Cube/Puppet Shows

Examples of Companion Cubes in Puppet Shows include:

The entire premise behind ventriloquist acts.
Jeff Dunham frequently lampshades it during his routines. In "Arguing With Myself", he relates a story of taking his "helpers" through airport security:

"He could've swabbed Peanut on the head, on the foot... no. In front of God and everybody, he swabs his butt, just like that! I know it's only a puppet, but... I work with the guy! There's a relationship there!"

Zoe of Sesame Street has a pet rock named Rocco, which she treats as alive. It is often scorned by Elmo, though he sometimes goes along with the charade just to get it over with.
- Big Bird had his teddy bear, Radar (a Shout-Out to the M*A*S*H character).
- Ernie had his rubber duckie.
Amy, The Dancing Brick in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie. In theory, not totally dissimilar from Gonzo's usual acts (Yollanda, The Dancing Cheese, for example), except that "she's" not a Muppet brick; she's just a brick.
In Muppet Treasure Island, Squire Trelawney (Fozzy Bear) has an imaginary friend who lives inside his finger.

"Your finger hired the crew?"
"No, that's silly: The man who LIVES inside my finger hired the crew."

- Not to mention Dead Tom.
