Walk this way.



Walk this way is a recurrent joke that has in roots in Vaudeville. Relying on the double usage of "way" as both a direction and manner for its punchline, the joke has been most notably used by Mel Brooks in many of his films, including The Producers, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Spaceballs and Young Frankenstein.

Brooks, however, is not the only purveyor. Monty Python's Flying Circus used the line as a running gag, and the joke has been used or referenced in films and television shows ranging from M*A*S*H, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Daffy Duck cartoons, The Three Stooges shorts, Rugrats, Garfield and Friends and Animaniacs.

The Muppets have followed in the tradition of this familiar gag, incorporating it on several occassions.

Uses of the joke

 * In A Celebration of Me, Grover,


 * In a Count von Count sketch, the Count is working as an elevator operator, and he instructs Kermit to "walk this way" into the elevator, inspiring Kermit to mimick his waddle.
