Spies Like Us



Spies Like Us is a 1985 comedy directed by John Landis. The movie contains a scene that has reached a pop culture awareness to the extent that posters and t-shirts have been manufactured based purely on having been familiar with just that one portion of the film. In it, the two main characters are falsely posing as surgeons who are introduced to a tent-full of doctors. The following introduction consists entirely of each individual addressing one another as "doctor" in a repeated fashion.

Muppets From Space features a similar scene in which this joke is presented in shortened form. Kermit and Pepe are posing as doctors, having infiltrated C.O.V.N.E.T. with Miss Piggy and Fozzie to save Gonzo and Rizzo. When they are discovered inthe hallway by a doctor in residence, their exchange is a brief nod to the scene from Spies Like Us.
