How could I forget the typewriter? I used to doodle him on my notes in school :) I did catch the Bohemian Rhapsody, loved it! Also, there's a bunch of other Beaker ones out there that are hilarious. Like Beaker sings Feelings - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf3BNRF9ICc&feature=related Also, for a lot of laughs, check out the Swedish chef clips. This is one of my favourites. Banana-nana-na - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B6bnUVbUWw Annnnnd...have any of you seen the Muppet Whatnot Shop? http://www.fao.com/whatnots/builder.jsp I've unfortunately never been, but they are building one in Disney World and hopefully it will be open the next time I go! Pricey, but so so tempting. And as a side note, Disney seems to be promoting the Muppets a lot lately, so this hopefully means more muppety goodness to come. OMG! How could I forget the typewriter?

The Philip Glass one is mind-boggling. And I totally forgot about Teeny Little Super Guy! He was so cute! I also loved the Typewriter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3tgrEvpPck&feature=related @Jeff - They had me sold from the opening with Gonzo and the chickens, but somehow it just keeps getting better and better! :-P @Stephie – Great picks!

"I know what an elephant is, Ernie, but how can you be talking to an elephant on a banana?"

Oh, the classics. I think I remember seeing that episode when I was a kid too. “I know what an elephant is, Ernie, but how can you be talking to an elephant on a banana?”

All fabulous classics! I remember catching the Heeeeere Fishy Fishy Fishy!! in french once. I laughed for hours. No joke. A couple gems that would be added to my personal list would be: 1. Teeny Little Super Guy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjvt6xqKwV8 Like the orange, one of the great stop-motion segments with a damn catchy theme-song. 2. Geometry of Circles - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch-R1aIM-C0 Philip Glass! Yes!! The beginning of Watchmen totally reminded me of this segment. Love it. 3. Mahna Mahna - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3ACvC6lBkI No explanation needed. 4. I got a new way to walk - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-7ZJjLy5D8&feature=related Awesome song and an 80s flair! 5. Healthy Food - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBMxpDbp51A I agree with hating what they've done to Cookie. But...this. This was catchy. And they didn't ruin the Cookie character for the rest of the show. Plus, Cookie saying 'Word up'? Awesome. Awesome list! All fabulous classics!
