The Muppet Show/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

** One of the guests actually pointed out that he felt like a token minority. Kermit replied that that was a good point, nobody had thought that a human might feel uncomfortable surrounded by barnyard animals, and called the other Muppets over to help. When the dust cleared, the guest was in a chicken suit, couldn't get out of it, and spent the rest of the show that way.

*** That was Harvey Korman, during his talk spot with Kermit, he answered Kermit's general upkeep question with "Well, I feel like the token minority..." and Kermit called in other muppets to put him in a giant chicken suit, which he got stuck in.

* Has anybody ever seen Miss Piggy's feet? All the pictures I've ever seen of her have her in regular shoes, but then, in Great Muppet Caper, she leaves behind a glass slipper shaped to fit a hoof... So...?

** Assuming that wasn't a one-time gag (which it most likely was), I figured she just put her heels inside the shoes that were made to fit humans, but that shoe was made to fit her hoof. However, the [[Spinoff Babies|Muppet Babies]] Piggy had human-like feet, and I thought her puppet self did too (maybe she kicked someone with bare feet, in the Rudolph Nureyev steam-bath scene or something similar? I could be thinking of a different muppet, though, one of the extras or single-song guests, but I don't think so). In the same episode, the guest asked to dance with Miss Piggy, but since muppets are mostly ballet-impaired, they put a human-size pink boar muppet in Miss Piggy makeup, who had human-like feet if the ballet slippers were any indication. It very, ''very'' obviously wasn't Miss Piggy (I didn't even realize it was supposed to be a Miss Piggy standin and not just a comically awful crossdresser until watching the episode with commentary on DVD), but the humanlike feet ''might'' hold by analogy since it was supposed to look like her (albeit, comically unlike her).

 

* How old ''are'' Statler and Waldorf? They were at least in their 80's when The Muppet Show fist premeired and now, 30-40 years later, ''their still alive!'' HOW??!?!?!?!!?

*** Hm... Reasonable explantion...
