You're all wrong... his real name is Vegetable R. Mineral.

From the Muppet Movie (1979):

Mad Man Mooney: "Jack, get rid of this heap. Come out here!"
: "What? What?"
Mooney: "That's my jack."
: "Oh, hi Jack!"
: "Jack not name! Jack job!"
Mooney: "How many times have I told you not to talk to the customers?"

I know someone who just referred to Beaker as "Mi mi mi BOOM!" Lol

Maybe Mi mi mi Boom is a distant relative of Crazy Harry's....

 

[Mo Frackle]

From the Muppet Movie (1979):

Mad Man Mooney: "Jack, get rid of this heap. Come out here!"
: "What? What?"
Mooney: "That's my jack."
: "Oh, hi Jack!"
: "Jack not name! Jack job!"
Mooney: "How many times have I told you not to talk to the customers?"

Ya konw, a lot of non-Muppet fans who remember that quote often think Sweetums' name really was Jack. When I was a kid, I was one of these unfortunate people.

Yeah even I have to agree that one is a little more forgive able.

 

[Piggy The Frog]

On Jeopardy last night, a contestant was talking about giving her brother a nickname when he was born (she was three years old at the time). Her favourite Sesame Street character was Forgetful Jones, so she decided that her brother's nickname would be Buster, like Forgetful's donkey.

Well, at least the contestant knew who Forgetful Jones is (and the name of his horse!). Hardly any average Joe you see nowadays knows that.

 

[Piggy The Frog]

Good point. Sometimes, even the people who grew up with the classic characters seem to forget them.

(and the name of his horse!)

Not donkey!

Still that's pretty good they knew that. I've seen way worse. XP
