Bob plays with puppets

[fuzzygobo]

Anyone remember this one from the mid 70's?
Bob was leaning on the brick wall, and an Anything Muppet voiced by Jim comes along with no face, just a mouth. He expresses to Bob he feels a little blah, and could Bob help him out.

First Bob gives him some angry eyes, with furrowed eyebrows, which starts to change the Muppet's personality.
"I'm starting to feel angry, Bob!"

Then Bob gives him a nose (stolen from Bert?) and the Muppet gets angrier.
"You gave me an angry nose, Bob!"

Then to finish the job, Bob gives him a shaggy black wig.
Bob:"How does that make you feel?"
Muppet: "ANGRY, BOB!!! GET OUT OF MY WAY(pushes Bob)I'M OUTTA HERE!!"

The Muppet goes off camera, and we hear a thunderous loud crash, and Bob has a worried look on his face. Then our angry friend comes back.

"It's okay, Bob. I just dropped my watch!"

Bob: "Whew! I think he's angry!"


Then there's a second, less-shown clip of the same Muppet, and Bob fixes his face, but for some reason his eye keeps dropping off.

Do these rekindle any old memories?

Whassamatter, something small bad?

I think that skit sounds interesting, although I've never seen it before.

It reminds me of that skit on Ed Sullivan with that old Muppet getting a change of face, especially when he becomes a Lefty-like gangster.

How does this sound to you?

I don't think the crash was intentional; Jim probably played off it with his ad-lib.

This great skit is in episode #1141, which you can see at the Museum of TV & Radio.
