Name That Puppet, part 2
They're seen in Episode 102: Garth Brooks. -- Scott Scarecroe 16:28, 19 February 2006 (UTC)


 * They're singers from The Rubber Band Men, the band that accompanied Lynda Carter on the Muppet Show. -- Jog 21:04, 19 February 2006 (UTC) Jog


 * To Jog: He already said that they came from Muppets Tonight. The Rubber Band Men look different. --Dark Frackle 01:06, 21 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Jog just meant that they're the same puppets from the Lynda Carter episode. -- Scott Scarecroe 01:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)


 * With these two sections in the current events page about not knowing the names of certain characters, would it be a good idea to start a page on characters we don't know the names of? I'm mainly reffering to recurring characters made from Whatnots or Anything Muppets who have made several appearances, had lines, but weren't mentioned by name, didn't have anything really distinctive about them, and whom we don't know any official names for. --Minor muppetz 12:45, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Name That Puppet
Anybody know what these guys are called? -- Danny Toughpigs 15:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Most of the times I've seen that picture included in reference books, he's referred to as one of the Gawky Birds. While he looks like he's operated about the same way, though, I'm not sure. He actually looks more like the unholy love child of a Gawky Bird and a Bossman. Anyone know what episode(s) he appeared in? That might help. --Andrew, Aleal 16:47, 17 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I've seen them in the Ben Vereen and Elke Sommer episodes. I think he's a smaller variation of the Bossmen. His head and waist (and possibly feet, which may be mitts) are operated on rods, while his hands are gloves. -- MuppetDude 17:07, 17 February 2006 (UTC)


 * In the special I Love Muppets, Gonzo lists all kinds of strange creatures on The Muppet Show. He mentions "Spineys" somewhere. I don't think the fanbase ever heard of Spineys (I know I never heard that name on The Muppet Show or anywhere else in my video collection); maybe this is a Spiney? -- Jog 17:49, 17 February 2006 (UTC) Jog


 * I don't know the name, but I'm with most people when I say that these are rod puppets (like The Gwaky Birds or The Bossmen). I'm pretty sure that this puppet is smaller than the one I mentioned, though. --Dark Frackle 22:36, 17 February 2006 (UTC)


 * They are Spineys. Gonzo says it at the correct time in the montage of Muppets in I Love Muppets -- Warrick 19:44, 20 February 2006 (UTC)


 * That's the thing though, he doesn't. He says "Spineys" at the same time The Rubber Band Men are shown. But then there's Humpty Dumpty, the Baby Band and a bunch of rats in the same montage, which are definitely not called "Clodhoppers", "Fazoobs" or "Frackles". The pictures in the montage are not a truthful source... -- Jog 08:04, 21 February 2006 (UTC) Jog


 * Maybe Gonzo was just randomly listing a type of creature. It looks like Spinneys could have been a refference to Caroll Spinney.
