Biff and Sully present Joke Telling

[minor muppetz]

Biff: Hi, there. It's us, your old pals Biff and Sully.

(Sully waves his hand)

Biff: Today, we are going to talk to you about jokes.

(Sully enthustiastically nods his head in agreement)

Biff: Jokes are funny things thta people tell, often as a straightforward question with a funny answer. The question part is often called the set-up...

(Sully opens his mouth)

Biff: (interrupting) ...and the funny part is called a punch line. We'll show you an example. I will give the set-up, and Sully will give the punchline. Now, Sully, who was that lady I saw you with last night?

(Sully is about to answer)

Biff: (interrupting) See that, folks? That was the set-up. I asked Sully who that lady I saw him with last night was,...

(Sully opens his mouth)

Biff: (interrupting) ...and he was about to say the punchline, "That was no lady, that was my wife".

(Sully gives an annoyed expression on his face)

Biff: Oh, I'm sorry, Sully, I gave the punchline out for you. Well, we'll just tell another joke. Why did the chicken cross the road?

(Sully opens his mouth)

Biff: Give up?

(Sully shakes his head)

Biff: (not really paying attention) He crossed the road to get to the other side!

(Biff laughs whille Sully gives Biff a dirty look)

Biff: Oh, I'm sorry, Sully. We'll try one more time. This time you can tell the set-up.

(Sully thinks for a moment, scratches his head, and then opens his mouth...)

Biff: Oh, I get it. You can't think of one. Oh, well, I'll tell one. Why do firemen wear red suspendars?

(Sully thinks for a moment, but is stumped. He then opens his mouth)

Biff: (interrupting) Oh, I guess you don't know, huh, Sully?

(Sully shakes his head, then opens his mouth)

Biff: They wear red suspenders to keep their pants up! (laughs, but Sully looks in confusment, not getting the joke) Come on, Sul, let's go.

(They leave)

Pretty funny, Minor Muppetz.

These jokes were all from Fozzie's Ventriloquist Act, you know.

Yes, but they are also all commonly told jokes. I didn't realize that all of the jokes were from the ventreleoquist joke untill you mentioned it. I often wonder where all of these jokes originated.

That was funny. I could hear the whole thing in my head; well, Biff anyway...
