The Best Of Fozzie Bear

   

Heya Heya! There are lots of great comedians but there is no other great comedian than Fozzie Bear. Right now I'd like to tell you some jokes Fozzie has told on The Muppet Show.

Two cannibals walked out of a bar. One cannibal says to the other cannibal, "Who was that lady I saw you with last night?" The other cannibal says, "That was no lady. That was my lunch!"

What you get when you cross a pig with an Eskimo? A polar boar!

I have a dressing room so small, all of the mice are hunchbacks!

Looking Back...1954

Today we're going to look back at 1954. A time before digital television, a time before Muppets Most Wanted! But today, we're gonna look at what Muppets were in 1954.

CHAPTER 1: THE JUNIOR MORNING SHOW

Jim Henson's big TV break came from "The Junior Morning Show". He did Pierre the French Rat  ( see next chapter ) & cowboys Longhorn & Shorthorn.

CHAPTER 2: PIERRE THE FRENCH RAT

Pierre was a comic subject for Henson, then a TV star. He was in The Junior Morning Show.

Stay tuned tomorrow for an article on Sesame Street!

Happy Thanksgiving From The Magnificent Muppenators!

                 

Hey guys! Did you see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? If you did, you might remember the Sesame Street float. Anyway, we here at The Magnificent Muppenators have a lot to be thankful for.

But there's no time to explain them all, so we're just thankful for Jim Henson's work. Just that.

HAPPY THANKGIVING & HAPPY HOLIDAYS 

FROM YOUR FRIENDS AT MAGNIFICENT MUPPENATORS

Fozzie's Funny Fridays: Polar Boar
