Piggy does the karate routine note for note dude. And guests do the foreign
language kissing on the arm on Piggy. And she got the perm like Swift did.
I don't know dude smells like a dead skunk, looks like a dead skunk until
someone comes up with the evidence of what Oz and co. were doing with
Piggy, seeing Piggy doing Hotlip's routines with Lorretta Swift sure convinced
me. I remember when Hotlips does the chop and it is identical to Piggy.

If you can't see the similarities between Scooter and Radar then either you
aren't fimiliar with Radar, aren't paying attention or ignoring them. I'm not
saying Scooter is Radar. All I'm saying is it's funny how there are so many
similarities. And how for a variety show they would pick the same duties as
Radar. It might not be but it's a top contender- red flag.


But speaking of knock-offs one they did shamelessly rip-off- aside
from Ren & Stempy- although the character is real cool- is The Count. That
really is Count Chocula. General Mills probably would have sued their *** if it hadn't
been that parents might have boycotted the cereal because Seaseme is like
sacred. That's like if Chocula was a Muppet it would look like this. Plus the
voice and so on. I mean they didn't even try to hide it by fusing in other
things like a Peggy Lee wardrobe.


P.S. Did you see that photo where Piggy is wearing Hot Lips Army outfit when
she is all dressed up to meet superiors like the General. That was a great
nod to Swift. Hotlips also has the Peggy Lee hair. But Peggy Lee never got
that Weison Oil Flo Henderson perm like Swift that Piggy copied. But then
you gotta be paying attention to catch things like that.

Also the way in which Gonzo later pursues Piggy and is rejected reminds me
of how Frank and Hotlips end up.

Aside from what kansasteen said, we're getting tired of arguing this point with you. We'd appreciate it if you would just drop it, especially if you can't say anything new.

I concur

You can huff and puff until you're blue in the face, but you're not going to blow the door down. Drop it!

Maynerd, baby! What you said is totally unfounded. Look at the millions of "Monster Dracula" type cartoons of the 60's and 70's! Besides, The Count is so not based on that overpriced cereal mascot!

Knock it off

and knock it off with the knocking it offs!

Could I just butt in here and say this is the first time I've posted to this thread?
