Scred Scred was the put - upon servant and sidekick to King Ploobis in " The Land of Gorch " segments from " Saturday Night Live " . Scred begins as a groveling lackey , accompanying Ploobis to see The Mighty Favog . As the sketches continued , Scred developed more of a personality , flirting outrageously with Queen Peuta and eventually having an affair with her parallel to that between Ploobis and Vazh . In one of his best known moments , and one of the few " Gorch " sketches still widely seen in syndication , Scred declares his affection for guest host Lily Tomlin . Scred ( alongside King Ploobis , Queen Peuta , Vazh , and Wisss ) can also be spotted in " The Muppet Movie " during the " Rainbow Connection " finale . Impersonations . Scred has occasionally done impersonations of " Saturday Night Live " characters . In one show , he dressed up as a bee and wondered why the Muppets couldn ' t be in more skits , and tried to show that he could be the " Weekend Update " anchor , saying " I ' m Scred , and you ' re not " , spoofing Chevy Chase ' s catch phrase from " Weekend Update " . In another sketch , he did an impression of Emily Litella , complaining about people eating Muppets before realizing that they were really eating muffins ( a similar gag was done when Gilda Radner , who played Emily Litella on the show , guest starred on " The Muppet Show " ) . Trivia . In 1978 development workshops , as puppet construction was beginning for " The Dark Crystal " and the creation of the film ' s new creatures was still moving from page to puppet , Jim Henson used the Scred puppet for demonstration purposes , remarking that he ' s the closest they have to the Skeksis in design .
