Muppet Film and TV References

I've been watching a lot of MST3K, and I never realized how many Muppet and Jim references there are. Some are really obscure too, which proves they were superfans. I found a complete list of them on the wiki too!

Old, I know, but so awesome!

Check out the captions for the second to last cake on here:

This was from something my dad was watching on Netflix just now:

"Name one jazz musician"
"Dr. Teeth"
"He's a Muppet"
"He's a jazz Muppet"

I was wathing scrubs once and somebody said, "What the Fraggle Rock is goig on here"? Me and my mom excanged glances.

Just now on Jeopardy, there was a category called "Cookie Monster Review Novel", and the host was reading the clues in a bad Cookie Monster impression.

My sister was watching Icarly and I overheard them say, "BoogieBear Takes Manhattan"...

For you wrestling fans: Backstage reporter Maria talked to Chris Jericho about his band called Fozzie, and Maria said something about is Kermit and Miss Piggy in it too.

When he got his star on the Walk of Fame a few years back, Vince McMahon compared himself to Kermit the Frog.

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy had an episode where a Oscar the Grouch type character makes a cameo.

I don't know if anybody's mentioned this yet, but in the film version of "Dragnet" with Tom Hanks and Dan Akroyd, as they chase after someone in their car, they run into a bunch of stuffed animals that the bad guy knocked over and Dan's character says, "Look out, Muppets!"

Just now on Cash Cab (or that's what the listing said it was...), they had a question along the lines of, "Which 1980's Jim Henson TV show featured Doozers and Gorgs?"

In Mad Mag there was a tell-the-difference-between-these-two-New Moon-posters or something like that. On the opposite poser Count was behind Edward. They called him "The Scariest Vapire That Ever Lived"

The newest FG thing is from a non-sequitur featuring Meg, and The Count
THE COUNT: One nipple, ah ah ah, Two nipples, ah ah ah, Three nip- Oh he** no, I'm getting outta here

On an episode of a new version of Password (hosted by Regis Philbin), one of the words William Shatner was supposed to guess was "Kermit". He didn't get it right- he actually said "Hermit". Maybe people just don't hear the "K" or something, but come on- it's Kermit the (F-R-O-G) Frog!

On this vlog, an anime reviewer is griping about some Naruto episodes and complains about how blatant some of the plot exposition ignorance is ... and he ends up suggesting that he prefers when Fozzie just gives the EM the script in TMM.

I did in my first post here.

On Jeopardy last night, there was a category about vampires and a clue said something about "Sesame Street's own vampire" or something like that. Of course, it's The Count von Count and Alex said that The Count was his favorite! Who knew?

The 80's Game, though technically a video game, has a few, along with at least one category on "Muppet Movies". For example, last night my mom and I were playing it, and the question was asking the name of the band in Bill and Ted (sorry if I got that wrong) with one answer choice being "The Electric Mayhem"

I was watching a few musician Biographies on Bio, one of which was David Bowie, and at one point it mentions him starring in Labyrinth and includes a clip from the film.

On Glee (re-run, did anyone spot this earlier?), after "Can't Touch This" Kurt says "We're as menacing as a pack of Muppet Babies."

On yesterday/the night before's Whose Line?, they had a game where Ryan and someone else (Chip, perhaps?) had to sing as Kermit and Colin and Wayne had to sing as Miss Piggy, complete with a karate chop.

Also, this goes along with my last post on this thread, but on that game, a category was "Name That Movie" and it was asking about the line "You hear that, New York? The frog is staying!" with the four choices of TMM, GMC, TMTM, of MFC.
