Bump!

In, of all things, an episode of Super Mario Bros. 3, I found one...

In the episode Sneaky, lying, giant Ninja Koopas, not only do they have a reference to the TMNT movie, (Big Mouth said, "I love Bein' a Koopa," ala Michelangelo), there was also this one scene where a giant parrot whines about Koopa using its cage as a prison for Luigi, Toad, and Princess...

"My whole life was in that cage! My Big Bird Poster, my Worms from Outerspace Comics.... everything!"

In a Friends episode (can't remember which one) I think... Joey (??? Maybe it was Chandler... I so don't remember this episode) has a girlfriend, and she has a really odd name so one of the 'friends' says "Is she from Fraggle Rock?"
in that episode of friends chandler makes a new years resolution/bet with ross to be less sarcastic all the time and ross comes in and says he has a date with a girl named elisabeth hornswaggle. and at the end of the episode chandler finally cracks gives ross the money and says " Hornswaggle, what are you, dating a character from fraggle rock?" then he sighs with relief.

Hi folks,
Certainly I've got one you never heard of.
In 2001, comedian Giorgio Panariello and big-band member Paolo Belli were on a show together. As a theme, Paolo started to play "The muppet show". When Giorgio says: Would you do something a little more dramatic?, Paolo plays TMS theme song slowed down and sad. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I got the real release on that. I didn't know there was a cereal release. What's that all about anyway?

There was one in "Sealab 2021" when they suggest doing something out of "Fantastic Voyage" where they shrink themselves down in a miniature rocket and get injected into the bloodstream. Stormie, the resident idiot, says it's like that episode of "Muppet Babies" where :wink: has Spinal Menengitis....Well, at least that's what Stormie thinks, anyway. He's not the brightest bulb in the bunch, eh?
