At The Bar

At The Bar

A sketch show which featured in Muppets Tonight. Polly Lobster stars as the bartender, who opens each episode by singing a few lines of the Rod Stewart classic, "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?". He is always interrupted by regular customer, Mr. Callahan, who doesn't speak, although Polly always knows what he's trying to say. Mr. Callahan always declines the offer of "the usual", which makes you wonder how there can possibly BE a usual, and Polly offers him something else- examples include a cocktail which causes Mr. Callahan to burp very loudly, and Sergio Surprise, which Mr. Callahan refuses to drink when a small lizard named Sergio pops his head out of the glass. Mr. Callahan always asks to see Polly's assistant, Clueless Morgan, whom Polly calls from out the back. Clueless delivers a few wise-cracks, and then Polly, exasperated, asks him to sing. Clueless, however, is always interrupted. When he starts singing "Beautiful Dreamer", Polly hits him with a frying pan; when the pair attempt to sing "Give Me A Home Where The Buffalo Rome", a group of muppet bufallos stampede into the building, knocking them flat;, and when they sing "Fly's In The Buttermilk", Clueless is distracted, conveniently enough, by a fly- he knocks Mr. Callahan, Polly, and finally himself, senseless with the bat he is using to swot the fly.
