Mr. Poodlepants

Mr. Poodlepants is an oddball character who first appeared on Muppets Tonight. He is a jolly fellow with an eccentric fashion style and an off-the-wall sensibility. His fluttery voice and clownish manner were based on comedian Ed Wynn.
His most prominent appearance was in the Eagle's Nest sketch in episode 103, in which an exasperated Sam the Eagle served as his comic foil. In episode 211, he conducted the Mormon Tabernacle Penguins in a rendition of the "Hallelujah Chorus" until the penguins got into a fight, causing the act to end early.
According to Jim Lewis a planned running gag for the character was dropped: 
Although the hand-puppet concept didn't make it to the show, The Muppets Character Encyclopedia mentions that Mr. Poodlepants has had many of his own children's shows with Clownie, which always get canceled after only a few episodes.
In Muppets from Space, Mr. Poodlepants can be seen in the role of Kap'n Alphabet on the box of Kap'n Alphabet Cereal. There was going to be a scene with Mr. Poodlepants as Kap'n Alphabet which wasn't in the final version of the film, as Steve Whitmire once stated in a pre-Muppets from Space interview that he was going to perform this role in the movie.Steve Whitmire interview on 2momluvme (via Archive.org) In Muppets from Space: The Junior Novelization, the Kap'n Alphabet character had a speaking role during a scene that took place in C.O.V.N.E.T..
Poodlepants appeared in the "Cirque du So Lamé" sequence in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie wearing a mask and tossing Christmas ornaments. He appeared in illustrated form as Yankee Doodle in the coloring book Great Muppets in American History, in Muppet Snow White auditioning for the part of Dopey, and in Muppets Meet the Classics: Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm as the second gatekeeper in the retelling of "The Devil with the Three Golden Hairs."
