The AL-1995 Plus Tax

The AL-1995 Plus Tax was introduced by First Mate Piggy in a Pigs in Space sketch from episode 108 of Muppets Tonight. In an attempt to show off their new crew member to the officers on the bridge of the Swinetrek, Piggy asks the computer to calculate 2+2. Even though it is the latest in super computers, AL takes some time to compute the equation, playing the Jeopardy theme in the meantime. After the ship is invaded by Princess Vendela, AL finally spits out the correct answer. He displays a break in humor as he figures that he's warmed up now, finally complimenting Piggy on her pumps, which she uses to beat the computer.

The design and demeanor of the computer (save for its inability to perform simple equations) are a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey’s HAL 9000 and The Bionic Woman’s ALEX 7000.
