My insight was with the character Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, the scientist. I'm watching the show, Bunsen shows up and WHAM! Like a flash of 38-years-of-the-obvious....
Bunsen Honeydew is so named because
HIS HEAD IS SHAPED LIKE (and the color of) A MELON!!
I felt like such an idiot for never making that connection before. (I mean, I'm not a rabid fan but Muppets have been in my life as long as ANYONE and ANYTHING!) You can imagine my relief when I pointed this out to Scott (embarrassed by my own lack of observation earlier) and he said, "Huh, I guess you're right. I never put that together either."
So... is it just the clueless Giesslers or did you never notice the Melon on Bunsen Honeydew either?
and Beaker's head is, wait for it... It's shaped like... a Beaker. With fire coming out of it.
ReplyDeleteholy crap, I didn't realize that either :) The muppets will never look the same again...
ReplyDeleteI guess it was better than just calling him Melon Head. I never realized it either!
