I went to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall and besides the whole puppet Dracula stuff there is a scene where Jason Segal is sitting at a piano playing, singing, and crying the Muppet Show theme song - it's classic!

Not so much a reference, but I pulled out an episode of Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, and they pretty much stole the "Glow Worm" bit.

In the episode "Shell Game," Sylvester (on an island in the Galapagos) tries to pull out a worm to bait Tweety, but it turns out it's actually a long, wierd toungue of a lizard or fish or something like that. And it eats Sylvester.

As I said, not so much a reference as just stealing the gag.

Well come on, speaking as someone whom is a writer himself, it's hard to come up with something that's totally original. I doubt they were they sit around and something thought hey let's just do that one Jim Henson bit. It's kind of a basic idea or gag. Something turns out to be more than the character thought and oh no. I'm just saying it's easy to watch something and say oh they stole that from so and so, but come on everything has been done and redone and over done. I'm just saying

Here's a fresh one.

Anyway, I was watching the new Spectacular Spider-Man serires, and in today's episode, The Big Man's Henchman named Hammer Head was attacked by Green Gobin. Hammer Head dons brass Knuckles and says:

"Stop Laughing Kermit! I hear that green is the new Black and Blue!"

Fozzie was on the Simpsons tonight presenting an ESPY award with Lance Armstrong. Saying "Wokka Wokka" then Lance said something about the award then Fozzie said "Hey Lance, nice slacks, did you get those winning the Tour de Pants? Wokka Wokka" Lance got mad and ripped the bear off of the guys hand and tried to announce the award before Homer turned the TV off
