## Season 1 (1984)
### Who's Afraid of the Big, Bad Dark? [1.02]

    [After the chase of the slime monster]
    Kermit: [sighs, opens the fence board to check] I think we lost it. [closes it, sees someone in a ghost costume which makes 11 of the kids] Hey, wait a minute. 1, 2, 3...that's funny. How many of us were there when we started the story?
    Gonzo: 10. Why?
    Kermit: 10? Why, uh, [points at someone in a ghost costume] I think we picked up a stray.
    [Gonzo removes the sheet and it turns out to be the slime monster, who growls]
    Kids: Slime monster!
    Gonzo: Let's get outta here! Help!
    [In the haunted house]
    Skeeter: [comes out of the sheet] Are you sure you saw the slime monster in that closet, Gonzo?
    Gonzo: [comes out of the sheet] I don't know. Maybe it was my imagination.
    Fozzie: [comes out of the sheet] That's right. That's all it was. There aren't any slime monsters around here, uh, are there? [the slime monster comes out of the sheet, roars] That's good. For a minute there, I was getting worried. [gives a shocked look] Slime monster!
    Kids: [run away] Slime monster!
    Animal: Monster! Aah!
    Beaker: Slime monster!
    Fozzie: [to the slime monster] When does a ghost need a license? [the slime monster scratches it's head, and blubbers, "I don't know"] During haunting season! [laughs nervously] Pretty funny, huh?
    [The slime monster roars]

### Raiders of the Lost Muppet [1.04]

    Gonzo: Let's synchronize our watches.
    Scooter: We don't have any watches.
    Gonzo: That's okay, I don't know what synchronize means anyway.
    Fozzie: This fantasy is rated PG. We're under age.
    Skeeter: Rowlf can pick up the scent.
    Rowlf: I didn't know anybody dropped it.

### Close Encounters of the Frog Kind [1.09]

    Kermit: They don't call me the fastest gum in the west for nothing, ya know.
    Piggy: [about Robin] He's adorable, just like his Uncle Kermie.
    Kermit: Uncle Kermie? I never asked to be an uncle.
    Skeeter: Kermit! Nobody asks to be an uncle. Your big sister had babies, that makes you an uncle, and the babies are your nieces and nephews.
    Kermit: Oh, that's different.
    Piggy: [reading to Robin] And so Piggy followed the little tadpole down its tadpole hole. [as herself] Oh, I'm falling!
    Gonzo: Hold everything! You're not telling the story right, Piggy. The pictures show Alice chasing a white rabbit down a rabbit hole, not a tadpole hole.
    Piggy: I say it's a tadpole, and he went down a tadpole hole. And if you don't want to wind up stuffed in a weirdo hole, YOU BETTER KEEP QUIET!!!

### Gonzo's Video Show [1.10]

    Gonzo: [trying to adjust video camera] Hey, stay in focus. You're fuzzy.

    [The Muppets are making a movie; Gonzo is directing]
    Piggy: And I'm going to be the producer.
    Kermit: Gee, what do producers do, Piggy?
    Piggy: THEY FIRE DIRECTORS! [lunges at Gonzo]
    [After the Muppets decide to make a Star Wars movie]
    Fozzie: Oh, I know who I can play! [grabs two belts] I could play Whewbacca the Cookie!
    Kermit: Um, that's Chewbacca the Wookie, Fozzie.
    Fozzie: That's what I said, Cuchacca the Bookie.
    Kermit: Oh Gee.

## Season 2 (1985)
### Fozzie's Last Laugh [2.03]

    Piggy: Scooter, if you had ten hot dogs and Skeeter took three of them, what would you have?
    Fozzie: He'd have a tummy ache. Get it? Ha ha. Wokka wokka wokka.
    Piggy: If you have to tell jokes then tell them to the wall.
    Fozzie: Okay, hey wall, why did the man put a sweater on his hot dog? Because it was a chili dog. Wokka wokka wokka.
    Fozzie: What's the difference between an orange?
    Nanny: Go ahead, Fozzie, finish the joke.
    Fozzie: It is finished. That's the joke.
    [Fozzie has given up on comedy and now taken a job as a door-to-door salesman]
    Piggy: Who is it?
    Fozzie: Door-to-door salesman.
    Piggy: Is this anything funny?
    Fozzie: Not at all, M'aam. These are unique encyclopedias.
    Piggy: Okay, come on in.
    Fozzie: These encyclopedia are where you open it up, the subject comes to you! Look at "P", a parrot!
    [The parrot appears]
    Piggy: Neat! How about "O"?
    Fozzie: Careful, because you may get the... [water appears] ...ocean!
    [The ocean destroys entire house save for the couch, where Piggy and Fozzie are now adrift on]
    Piggy: Quick! Open up "N" and get us the Navy!
    [The oranges appear on the couch]
    Fozzie: I got us navel oranges!

### The Muppet Museum of Art [2.11]

    Fozzie: (about his painting) Pretty good, huh? I think I'll call it "Still-Life With Tomatoes."

    Rowlf: I think you oughta stick to telling jokes, Fozzie.

### When you Wish Upon a Muppet [2.13]

    Piggy: I know what Kermit's wish is. It's that we get married.

    "Animal Allen": Dinner! [laughs hysterically and falls off chair]
    [The audience laughs again]
    "Fozzie Burns": No, no, no! That's not right! You call a kangaroo in Scotland long distance. Get it? Wokka wokka wokka. [the audience boos again and he gets hit with tomatoes] Gee, it's a good thing the audience at home can't throw tomatoes at me. [the home listeners throw tomatoes from their homes right into the theater at him] Gosh, I wonder what you call a comedian that isn't funny?
    "Animal Allen": Fozzie! [laughs again]
    [The audience laughs again]
    "Fozzie Burns": [dejectedly] Say goodnight, Animal.
    Beaker: Meep, meep meep meep.
