From Episode 1839: A nearly naked man (heard only from offscreen at first) gives a rhyming list of the creatures which left him that way.


NOTES:

1. Years after watching this cartoon, I learned that "glutton" is sometimes used as another name for wolverines; that still made me wonder why the animator drew his button-eating animal as a squirrel.

2. I have seen this clip in some 1970s episodes, thanks to the Net--but Muppet Wiki doesn't give an airdate before the episode I got this copy from.

  • "Glutton" is also a term for any greedy person or animal; maybe that's the way they intended the word in this clip.

  • I knew about that meaning, but with all the other lines mentioning specific animals it's still a bit ambiguous and strange.

  • Maybe the producers screen-tested this skit with a wolverine, but they changed it to a squirrel when their E&R team decided the wolverine was too scary for children.

  • Plus I could imagine kids wondering what the heck that weird-looking animal was...

  • The moth in a way freaked me out only a little when I first saw it when I was 4.

  • Oh I remember this one! Who can forget about the glutton that ate my last button?

  • The Glutton line is the best part.

  • Never explained why the animals  did that to him.

  • Classic!

  • @SnowbirdFlock

    Oh...good point. Almost forgot about that.

  • @gameshowguy2000 This is perhaps pushing it, but sometimes people (but usually women in particular) wear pearls. So maybe "this is the squirrel who ate my last pearl"?

  • the glutton line is so funny. lmao.

  • ahahahahaa I love this video!! the moth used to scare me when it made the scary face. The ants bit made me laugh the most lol!!

  • The title you put on this video cracks me up!
