Episode Quotes

Rowlf the Dog: [as Dr. Bob treating a Viking pig] I know all about them - they come from Denmark. One of my ancestors was a Viking!
Miss Piggy: Oh, this isn't going to be a Great Dane joke, is it?
Rowlf the Dog: Well, it's a Dane joke, but I wouldn't call it great.

The Newsman: Here is a Muppet News Flash. An international spy ring is trying to sneak ridiculous stories into the news. Fortunately, with the tight security in the Muppet Newsroom, it can't happen here. [picks up another paper] In other news, a black-and-yellow-striped mackerel was elected king this morning and... [stops and looks perplexed; Bruno runs up] Huh?
Bruno: Yes?
The Newsman: Where have you been?
Bruno: Oh, I've been showing His Majesty around the newsroom. [a mackerel walks up, dressed in royalty; the Newsman sees him]
The Newsman: Holy mackerel!
Mackerel: No, Your Highness will do. Would you like to be knighted?
The Newsman: Oh, well, of course.
Mackerel: Okay. Good night! [the mackerel hits the Newsman on the head, knocking him out]

Statler: Well I guess I'll go talk to the animals.
Waldorf: What animals?
Statler: The wife and kids.
