Today, I decided to start collecting muppety references in other movies and tv shows...
Why? Becasue I watched "The Blues Brothers" with my dad for the 13233213th time.
I remembered that when Jake and Elwood are being chased through the mall, a guy in a toy store holding up a muppet toy (Grover) asked, do you have a Miss Piggy? I was looking forward to that line the whole time...
But that isn't all, it's been a while since I watched it and I overlooked a very important thing all these years (please don't kill me), nmamely the reason why the cutomer asks for Miss Piggy specifically...
In the beginning of the movie, a guy that works at the county jail sums up all the things they were keeping for Jake (one "soiled" lol). Well, I watched the credits and couldn't beleave that a hadn't recognised the actor...

The actor is noone less than...

our very own...

the honorable...

FRANK OZ! :excited:

Yay!

I was so excited, I had to tell someone and who better than you guys?

Anyway, if you have any good muppety references, please post them here.
