What are the funniest moments on any Jim Henson related project you've seen?

Mine are:

Bip Bippadotta singing "Air"
Most of the Muppet Newsflashes from The Muppet Show
Kermit's Swamp Years outtakes
Grover's Near & Far (really early episode)
Cyranose de Bergerac (YOU SAID NOOOOOOSE!!!)
There might be some others I might be able to think of later.

-Super Grover attempting to turn on the computer by first running around in circles and screaming at the top of his lungs, then hopping up and down and yelling "Wubba wubba"

-Fozzie and the fat sailor

-"How would the bookkeepers like to be suddenly UNEMPLOYED!!!??" "HEAT WAVE...!!!"

-Tossed Salad Night at the Don't Drop Inn

-the badly botched Carrots the Dancing Horse act to open Waterville's talent contest

-"WHO HIRED THIS CREW....!!!??" (especially in regards to Old Tom, Real Old Tom, and Dead Tom)

-Gonzo's botched water skiing stunt

-Fozzie being desperate enough to run back and forth through Bitterman's security lasers despite the accompanying damage

-"Hey, hey, light the lamp, not the rat; LIGHT THE LAMP, NOT THE RAT!!!!"

-Super Grover all but killing himself trying to bend the bars to Big Bird's cage (especially the climax where he rattles the bars like crazy and lets out the top of his lungs Tarzan yell before collapsing)

-Beaker electrocuting himself disarming the Mallory Gallery's security system, following by Animal crushing everyone pulling the skylight off

-Bert in drag against his will to perform Twas the Night Before Christmas

-Kermit completely losing it when Forgetful Jones botches "Oklahoma" for the third straight time ("IIIIIIIIIIIklahoma….")

-"We're going to the catch the thieves red-handed." "What color are their hands now?"

-Cookie eating the entire hot dog stand after a night without food at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

-Oscar's wild--and seemingly painful--exit from the skating rink following the snap the whip skate-around

-the running gag with Telly spilling his popcorn every time he sat in the broken seat

This is what Frank Oz is talking about when parents and kids could enjoy Sesame Street.

I will limit myself to three because if I go beyond that my list would be about 40.

In no particular order:
Good Grief the Comedians a Bear!
The Martians discover a telephone
The Rhyming Song

There are plenty more of course but these would top my list.

Honorable Mentions:
My Wife Won't Let Me
The Pigs in Space where various other character pop up and in
John Cleese's Final Number

The three musketeers skit from the TV special, the muppets go to the movies.
The war movie skit from the muppets go to the movies.
The luau song from the fantastic miss piggy show.
The calendar song from the fantastic miss piggy show.
The piggy and Joan rivers feud.
The great Muppet caper, after fozzie gives the speech, the bed which all of the Muppets are sitting on , flips up and the light which kept going out, goes out again.
