Some of the gags Harvey Kneeslapper played on others worked successfully in his favor.But I recall two occasions where his practical jokes backfired on him.
On the first occasion that I remember,he had a rope attached to a bucket full of confetti,which was placed up top(somewhere).He explained his gag to us viewers as he laughed himself silly.Someone would see the rope,then pull it and get confetti dumped all over them.A little girl muppet came,while Harvey hid in a corner.But when she pulled the rope,the bucket didn't tip over as planned.So Harvey went to see what was wrong with the rope.And in doing so,got a shower of confetti.The little girl laughed"heeheeheeheehee,that's the funniest thing I ever saw".Harvey was not amused"well I don't think that's funny."
The other occasion had him place a sign that read"OPEN"onto the door of a wooden closet,which he had shoved a pile of toys into.The gag this time,was to have someone come and see the"OPEN"sign,and open the door.But once they open the door,the pile of toys would fall down onto them.So he hid behind the closet giggling quietly,as an anything muppet came.Sure enough,he saw the sign on the door.But somehow he couldn't get the door open.So he gave up and walked away.Harvey,wondering what was wrong with the door,tried openning it himself.He got it open no problem,and the toys fell on him.
After a few other SS segments,we come back to Harvey Kneeslapper and his closet stuffed with toys.Hoping his gag would work this time,he hides again as another anything muppet comes and sees the"OPEN"sign.This muppet manages to open the door no problem,but the toys don't fall out.So he comments on what a mess the closet is and walks away.A frustrated Harvey Kneeslapper then opens the door,and once again the toys fall on him.
A couple more SS segments later,we go to Harvey's third attempt at the closet gag.This time a boy muppet and a girl muppet come walking by and see the"OPEN"sign.When they open the door,the toys aren't even there.They are somehow replaced by some kind of passageway.The two kids assume that it must be the way to the theatre,and enter it succesfully,closing the door behind them.Then Harvey says in frustration"hey what's going on?"But when he opens it for the third time,it had somehow become a the closet full of toys again.Once again the toys fall on him.
