Hey everyone,
I've read a lot about Jim considering something and going "Hmmmm...." I heard where it was a trademark of his among those he worked with.
As much as I've heard it mentioned, I've never heard or seen a clip of Jim doing this "hmmm...". Anyone know where I could find one? I'm just curious. It's one of those things you hear about all the time, but I have yet to find Jim going "hmmm..."
I also wonder if this "hmmm" was parodied intentionally in two places:
One of these was in the "Born to Wander" episode of Fraggle Rock. If you have a copy handy, watch the part where Uncle Gobo is looking for the Storyteller's pen and young Traveling Matt imitates his actions. Uncle Gobo puts a finger to his lips and goes "hmmm..." and Traveling Matt does the same thing. It just seems...Jim-like in some way.
The other possible parody was in "The Muppets Take Manhattan" with the group of exectutive frogs (Bill, Jill, Gil). Notice how they keep going "hmmm..." in unison.
What do you guys think?
Hmmmmm......
