The aforementioned lobster article also made me think at once of the classic Swedish Chef piece where he is trying to put a lobster in his pot, only to have the lobster heroically recscued by the Lobster Banditos. I remember this sketch vividly – I’m not sure if it was the mildly distressing feeling I got watching the Chef try to boil the lobster, or the impressively loud lobster-sized pistols the Banditos were toting.

Turns out it was the Madeline Kahn episode in Season 2 that also included the immortal question “Can frogs tap-dance?” The song “Happy Feet” that answered said question has been a staple around my house for a *very* long time. As a kid, we owned both Mupppet Show Cast Albums (records made from the first and second seasons). And I knew every word. Didn’t you??
