The Beauregard Thread--For Everybody Who Didn't Get A Joke

[Muppet fan 123]

I don't get Fozzie's jokes in The Muppets.
Firstly, "My, did I go to a bad seafood place last night. The catch of the day was Salmanilla!" Or something like that.
I don't get it.

This too:
Miss Piggy's Receptionist: She has an opening in early September.
Walter: Early September? But that's in six months!
Fozzie Bear: That's nothing. I once waited a whole year for September.

Well, since it was a seafood place, and it was bad. They used sallmonella.
In Sallmonella, you can hear the word, "Salmon", the fish. And having it be apart of sallmonella, makes it bad fish.

To explain it simpler than that, think of it this way.
Salmon-ella.

Sallmonella is the entire word, and the word salmon is in it.

I hope that wasn't too confusing.

This wasn't a joke exactly. This was only showing how slow Fozzie was, because September comes once every year.

One joke that I sort of get but its really confusing. In the Teresa Brewer episode, during the sketch with Teresa and Sweetums, Waldorf comments "it's the old monster-and-swing bit again", or something like that, commenting that they tried to sneak it past them again. An awkward joke, since that's the only bit on the show involving a monster and a swing. I guess that's the joke, that they're doing an old routine we hadn't seen (who's to say they can't do sketches that we, the real audience, don't see?), but it still comes off as awkward.

I thought it was just something to say, really.

No, he's referring to salmonella poisining.

Hey, on the Muppet Show record, Statler and Waldorf heckled Happy Feet, and I didn't get it.
"On the show that wasn't funny."
"Yes, but on a record, it doesn't even make any sense!"

Now, this either isn't a joke, or they mean on a record, as in, keeping track. Or something else I'm not seeing here...
