Talk: Muppets imbibing alcohol

Company references

Is there a place here to add references to alcohol companies? The opening cartoon to this bit spoofs the Budwiser frogs and this one the Miller Time commercials. - Oscarfan (talk) 17:41, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

That's an Advertising Reference. If we can find more (I think Kermit may have referenced the Budweiser frogs somewhere, in a guest spot or Before You Leap or something), they can get their own pages at some point. In the mean time, they don't really count at all for Muppets imbibing alcohol, but I think we can make an "Honorable Mentions" section for them (we have one on the Moon and other pages, for items that are related but not exactly what the list states). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 01:32, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

The Genie

I found another reference for this article. In the Fraggle Rock episode "Wembley and the Mean Genie", the Genie has a mug in his hand and says to Wembley: "Hey there big nose, want some radish beer?" Wembley says "No! And you shouldn't be drinking that stuff either! It's bad for you!"

Statler and Waldorf

I found a few examples of Statler and Waldorf with alcohol. One is in "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie". They claim to have bought drinks at Club Dot. The bartender (Johnny Fiama) says "They're lyin!" as he pours shots.

In "The Muppet Show Sex and Violence", Waldorf is seen holding a glass of brandy. He's also seen with a brandy glass in Michael Frith's original sketch of Statler and Waldorf.

In one episode of "Muppets Tonight", Waldorf comments "This show is like a glass of brandy. It's old and it makes my head hurt." I think it's in the episode "The Best of Muppets Tonight".

Do these count? I ask because Statler and Waldorf don't actually drink in any of these clips.

Also, what about the "pickled egg" at the bar? It's a visual gag of course, but the egg looks...well, pickled. Check out this clip at the 3 minute mark:

Do the Muppets have to drink the alcohol in the clips for it to count or can implied scenes (like these) count too?

These are all great! Yeah, the implication of alcohol consumption counts. —Scott (talk) 17:07, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

new page

We might have a better title for this, since it includes Creature Shop characters and Bill Barretta's cameo, but it tickled me and was the best I had just to get it started for now. —Scott (talk) 18:18, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
