The Muppet Show

Recurring skits

• At the Dance – Laugh-In style one liners from the characters as they ballroom dance
• Muppet Labs – the latest invention from Dr. Bunsen Honeydew with his assistant, Beaker, getting the worst of its inevitable malfunction.
• Muppet News Flash – a news announcer gives a newsbrief only to typically have some disaster befall him (usually the same disaster he was just describing)
• Pigs In Space – parody of science fiction shows like Star Trek, but also old 40's sci–fi serials. The space craft is called USS Swinetrek.
• Swedish Chef – Cooking show parody
• Vend–a–face – A vending machine that offers unique services that usually mean agonizing contortions of the muppets dumb enough to feed the machine.
• Veterinarian's Hospital – parody of soap opera General Hospital and other medical dramas which consists of Dr. Bob (Rowlf) cracking jokes in the operating room with Nurses Piggy and Janice; each installment ends with Dr. Bob and his nurses looking around in puzzlement as a disembodied voice tells viewers to tune in next time.
• Wayne and Wanda – Every song this duo attempted ends in disaster
• Bear on Patrol – Fozzie is a unlucky police officer and Link Hogthrob is his stupid superior who always get into the silliest situations with the criminals brought in.
