Nether regions Nether regions is a term used euphemistically for someone ' s genitals and / or buttocks . The Muppets have made several jokes about their nether regions over the years , often stemmed from the fact that they generally don ' t have them . While many Muppet characters appear naked ( fully or partially ) , references to unmentionables are often sexual in nature , or refer to this area in a sexualized context . The majority of these types of jokes in popular culture are geared toward the male anatomy ; one famous example coined by Mae West , " Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just excited to see me ? " Most instances of the Muppets making these types of jokes fall into a similar indirect delivery .
