I started this thread with the Swedish Chef and I'll continue it (with thanks to all who have posted) by mentioning that his "Hoo, hoo, hoo" laugh is one of the Muppety things that really makes me smile as of late.
I think it's more of a Bill Baretta tweak than one of Jim Henson's original affectations for the character, but I still like it. It even works in a sad song like "Pictures In My Head" and especially in "Christmas Smorgasbord" from A Green and Red Christmas. (There are so many ways that song could have been a train wreck, I can't believe it works as well as it does.)
