Oh! I can't believe I forgot these!

Muppet Newsflash during the Julie Andrews episode: "A plane loaded with sports equipment was forced to jettison some of its cargo. Among the items tossed out were 10,000 Ping-Pong balls-" the anchorman gets ping-pong balls rained on him "-and one bowling ball." The anchorman gets knocked on the head with a plummeting bowling ball.

From the Carol Burnett episode. Two Anything muppets are dancing together during the dance marathon.

Male Anything: I put on my golf shoes and my feet are killing me!
Female Anything: Why's that?
Male Anything: I put them on inside out!

here's one from SS -
This really old one about the number 3. it even featured Jim Henson juggling 3 BALLS.

the funny part was when they showed a little kid at a fancy restaurant, like The Ritz, and the waiter takes the round-lid-thing off his plate and there was 3 peas there. the kid looked shocked and said in a funny voice "3 peas?" it sounded like he said "3 peteys" (like the name, Petey)

The little boy was Brian Henson. The Henson kids were seen in a variety of clips on Sesame Street.

Is the only way that I'll touch pork!"

I don't know why I find that so funny - I just do :smile:

Which episode is that from? Isn't it on one of the Time-Life dvds?

Gonzo: Hello there, I'm here to tell the story
Rizzo: And I am here for the Food
Gonzo: My name is Charles Dickens
Rizzo; and my name is Rizzo the Rat, wait you're not Charles Dickens
Gonzo: I am too
Rizzo: A Blue Furry Charles Dickens that plays with a Rat
Gonzo: Of Course
Rizzo: Charles Dickens was a 17th Century Novelist, a Genius
Gonzo: Oh you're too kind
Gonzo: Alright I will, I know the story of A Christmas Carol like the back of my hand
Rizzo: Well then if you're Charles Dickens, Prove It
Gonzo: There's a mole on my wrist and a scare on my thumb from when I fell off my bycicle
Rizzo: Don't tell us your hand tell us the story

Gonzo: "Don't worry, I'll catch you."
Rizzo: *steeling himself* "God save my little broken body. Aiiieee!" *he jumps, Gonzo runs forward to catch him, Rizzo lands behind Gonzo*
Gonzo: Hm. Missed.
Rizzo: *sighs* "Oh, wait a minute. I forgot my jelly beans." *goes over to the fence, examines it for a moment, then goes under through the bars to the other side, then comes back the way he came with his jelly beans.*
Gonzo: "You can fit through those bars?"
Rizzo: *glancing back at them* "Yeah."
Gonzo: "You are SUCH an idiot."

Every single moment you guys have listed has made me crack up! VERY FUNNY stuff... Some were my favorites, but here are some more.

From TMS:
Fozzie - AH! MY hat!
Rowlf - Can you play hatless?
Fozzie - What?
Rowlf - I said 'can you play hatless?
Fozzie - I don't know... who wrote it?

From MIS:
Agent Singer - No nostrils... how do you smell?
Rizzo - Awful, he's my room mate.

From SS (while looking at Bert's fish tank):
Ernie - Which one is that, Bert?
Bert - That's Talboot.
Ernie - And who's that one?
Bert - That one?... I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT IS!

And one more from TMS (after calypso pig number):
Statler - I didn't know the pigs could play steel drums.
Waldorf - Eh?
Statler - PIGS! STEEL DRUMS!
Waldorf - Oh yeah, thay'll take anything that's not bolted to the floor.

Sorry if the scripts aren't exact word for word, but they crack me up!

I just remembered another one where Fozzie writes Kermit's opening dialogue and there's all these spelling errors.

Kermit - Good evening lagies and genglefengs and welcome to the muffel show.. I am your host Kermit the forg... Kermit the forg!?
Fozzie - Okay, so I can't type!
