Hilarious Red Fraggle Moments

[Convincing John]

Hey everyone,

Ever notice that some of Fraggle Rock's funniest moments happen when Red is about ready to fly off the handle? When I'm at work, I think of this stuff, and even though I've seen these episodes zillions of times, these moments still get me through some of the most dreary of afternoons at work.

I heard that Karen Prell, Red Fraggle herself, has visited this message board. If so, I hope that someday she'll read this post and know that Red (and the other Fraggles) will brighten my days for years to come.

Now, let's hear it for those hilarious Red Fraggle moments!

1. In "I Want to Be You", Red has just succeeded in "almost" behaving like Mokey when she tries to paint with her tail and knocks everything over. She is getting more and more frustrated by the moment, and even once bites the paintbrush she is holding. Soon Boober comes by with his book of "Strange Diseases", and suddenly notices Red's hair (which is down like Mokey's).

Boober: "What has happened to your HAIR?"
Red (totally forgetting to act like Mokey gives this priceless snarl): "Knock it off!" (then suddenly talks "like Mokey" again) "What are you saying, little Boober?"

2. In "Pebble Pox Blues", Red has to take care of Gobo, who is becoming more whimpery and whiny by the minute. "Every muscle in my body is racked with paiiiin...."

This chemistry between Red and Gobo is hilarious in this, especially when Red says: "Now why don't you settle down for a nice little nappy, and soon Boober will be back with your medicine! Heh ha ha..."

Gobo: "Medicine? I'm not takin' any medicine!"

Red: "Oh yes, you will" (she zooms in on Gobo, glowering) "because I'm going to pour it down your little baby THROAT! Grhhhrrrr!"

(This scene probably explains why we haven't seen Red in any Dimatapp commercials)

3. In "Playing Till it Hurts", Red is trying to sneak out of bed to go play Rock Hockey. "Dr. Boober" catches her and shoves her back into her hammock.

Red: "I'll practice even though it hurts..."

Boober: "Oh no you don't! You just climb right back into Ollllll' Mr. Beddy-Bye!"

Red (frowning and nudging the air under Boober's nose with her fist): "Right after I introduce you to Mr. Fisty-Wist!"

Boober (amused): "Heh! That's funny!"

4. This is one of my all-time favorite Fraggle Rock moments: Still in "Playing Till It Hurts", Red complains to Boober that she wants to get out of bed to play Rock Hockey. Her leg is in a splint, and "Dr. Boober" is right beside her, with a surgical mask over his mouth.

Red says something (can't quite remember the line) but it has to do with wanting to get out of bed to play Rock Hockey.

Boober: "Wrr, drrt shprt shrrd mrrk krrdrrrf...." (his voice is muffled by the mask)

Red: "WHAT?"

Boober: "Oh, fhrry," (pulls mask off) "That splint should make your leg feel much better."

Red: "I doubt it..."

Boober (confused): "W-Why?"

Red (lifting other leg in pain): "Because it's the other leg that hurts!"

I think of just that little bit of that scene, Boober's muffled voice and Red's impatient "WHAT?" and it gets me laughing every time. I think of it every time I drive up to a fast food drive-thru. Once while in line, I suddenly had this mental image of an impatient Red Fraggle driving a little red VW bug up to one of these things, trying to order...

Red: "I said I wanted the Toasted Radish Sandwich combo and a Radish Bar shake..."

Fast Food speaker: "Shhdrrf mkrrk kdrrff frrrmrrff mf mff."

Red (irritated): "What?"

Sure it's funny now, but this stuff's always funnier to think about while you're at work!

So anyways, "Hooray for Red!" and "Hooray for Karen Prell!"

I love the part in "Scared Silly" when she picks Wembley up by the shirt collar and yells "DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!" after which she sets him down and literally walks over him!

What I really think is funny is when Red runs away all excited shouting. "WOO HOO HOO! WOO HOO HOO! WOO HOO HOO!"

Another funny scene was when Boober wanted to move to the Caves of Boredom, Red had this entire group of Fraggles screaming and jumping up and down. It was like she was arranging some kind of weird cheerleading squad.

I love Red Fraggle! (which is why she is part of my username and my roomie in the college dorm thread). I can always be lifted out of a funk when I see a scene with Red Fraggle! My favorite is the episode "I Want to be You" when her and Mokey sing the Beetle Song and Red starts out all cocky like "yeah I can do this" when repeating after Mokey and then getting completely out of breath and exasperated by the end of the song! So I would just like to second what Convincing John said to Karen Prell "Hooray for Red Fraggle, Hooray for Karen Prell" Red is awesome!
