I like the "Muppets All Purpose Tenderizer" bit that Bunsen does. Very funny!

"Alright, who's the smarty-pants who tenderized the table?! I MEAN IT!!!!"

That gets me every time!

Watched the Spike Milligan TMS episode last night - I had completely forgotten how funny it is in the sketch where Lew Zealand, offstage, asks Spike, "Can we have our chicken back?" Which, of course, launches a few minutes of nuttiness with Lew and Spike onstage together.

(And while he technically isn't a Muppet, I like the way Spike says "Lewwwwww Zealand" in the same sketch.)

That's one of my favourites, too. I also smile at the thought of an annoyed Kermit mocking Piggy's "oo-dee-boo-boo-boo" baby-talk to Foo Foo during the first onstage sequence after the opening theme.

Piggy got a great line at the end, too, when Janice came onstage looking for Floyd (who mistreated Foo Foo earlier in the episode). Sweetly: "Oh, don't worry about Floyd..." Menacingly, to the camera: "He can breathe through the keyhole!"

Sam has some fantastic one liners! Like when he's censering the show;

"Disgusting! Get away!"
"I send it to a very important person!"
"None of your business."
"A rat! And what is a rat doing in a legitimet theatre?"
"You let a rat touch your food!?"
"RAT! I am talking to you! I am making a citizens rat arrest! OUT!"

The Muppet Show Season 5 when Piggy plants yet another story in the paper about Kermit and her being secretly married in Vegas.

Kermit- THAT'S A BALD FACE LIE PIGGY! I WILL NOT STAND AROUND WHILE YOU DO DUMB THINGS LIKE THAT PIGGY! YOU HAVE DONE THAT TO ME TOO MANY TIMES PIGGY! I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT, I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!

Piggy- Well what are you going to do?

Kermit- I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I'M GOING TO DO PIGGY, I'M GOING TO FIRE YOU PIGGY, PIGGY, YOU'RE FIRED PIGGY, YOU'RE FIRED FIRED!!!

I can only imagine the fun Jim and Frank had during that scene. LOL!

Sam during "Sam's Song" cracks me up!

"Ugh, this show is disgusting! Get away! Get away! I am going to write to someone important and put a stop to it!"
"That is not my song! I do not have a song!"
"Don't whistle!"
"There is a thing whistling here!"
"There is a lump playing harmonica!"
