The Smashing Pumpkins

The Smashing Pumpkins is a group that Gonzo recommends as a "Lollapalosers" act on Muppets Tonight in episode 210. While Clifford is initially skeptical of Gonzo's act, he becomes excited when he hears their name. Unfortuantely, these Smashing Pumpkins are not the famous band. They are instead actual pumpkins, who Big Mean Carl destroys with a club during their song. When Carl goes to destroy the third pumpkin, he begs for mercy. He's not a pumpkin after all. He's squash. Which it turns out is good enough for Carl, who pursues him offstage and into the KMUP control room.
