Shecky the Tiki

Shecky the TikiScan of 1995 Muppet Treasure Island script draft. is an island tiki pole in the likeness of a pig, like the other island heads in Muppet Treasure Island.
In contrast to the others, however, Shecky shows comedy aspirations. He appears in a mid-credits scene as the only apparent other resident of the island where Long John Silver is marooned. He subjects Long John ("May I call you Johnny?") to what the scripts terms "a nightmarishly bad comedy routine." He even employs the hackneyed cliche "Stop me if you heard this one," but as expected, he's unstoppable.
The original script included additional bad material, such as asking what sound a Polynesian wrist watch makes (tiki tok), singing camp songs "The Old Grey Goose Is Dead" and "Kumbaya," and suggesting a game of pinochle. The script called for Long John to hurl a banana at his would-be entertainer, while in the film the tiki simply continues, ominously noting "I got a million more just like that!"
His name is a reference to stand-up comic Shecky Greene.
