I'll never forget the episode with Harry Belafonte. The opening with Fozzie's bad typing and the way Kermit reads the script just made me laugh so hard! So many misspellings in that script!!!! I love how Fozzie admits his typing is bad.

Man...the Swedish Chef makes me laugh, too! The first skit I ever saw was "Chickee in der Baskee" from the Raquel Welch episode (I was probably five years old). It was on the More Muppet Please home video. Rolled on the floor laughing at that one, especially when he bounced the chicken like a basketball.

Three year later I got some "Best of the Muppet Show DVDs" for my birthday, and the "Ping Pong Ball" and "Pressed Duck" sketches were there (from the Elton John & Bob Hope episodes). I watched those DVDs religiously. My favorite Chef skits are the aforementioned ones, along with Chocolate Cake & Flapjacks (season 1), Fish Chowder & Lobster Bandits (season 2), and Danny Kaye (season 3). The Swedish Chef is funny in any language, whether it's English or mock-Swedish, so everyone can enjoy him. A true representation of Jim Henson's talent, humor, and vision. Bork bork bork!
