In one of the Muppet movies Kermit was talking about all of the little frogs hobbling around on crutches.I'm trying to find this quote for someone on video. I tried Youtube with no luck. Thanks for any help!
@Victor Murphy,
Ah isn't this about the fast food guy who sells fried frog legs.
@Victor Murphy,
There was a cartoon in the NEw Yorker Magazine several years ago. It showed a restaurant kitchen where a frogs legs sign was displayed. There were several frogs leaving the kitchen on those flat carts that Eddie Murphy had in "Trading Places"
@Victor Murphy,
Doc Hopper's french fried frog legs.
I'm kinda muppet vid familiar, but was unable to find a clip with the little froggies.
(do remember the scene however...)
@Victor Murphy,
Let's see if this one works, Victor
@Letty,
I've seen that cartoon before!
Charles Durning played 'Doc Hopper' ie Col Sanders in the 1979 Muppet Movie.
The Muppet Movie (1979)
Max Krassman: It is important to remember that you have to hold on to your hat
Doc Hopper: What for?
Max Krassman: When a German scientist tells you to hold on to your hat, it's not casual conversation. HOLD ON TO YOUR HAT! HAT! HOLD! Good.
Doc Hopper: Listen, we're a small business but we've expanded. Expanded! Just like you frogs expand. Don't you frogs expand?
[puffs his cheeks]
Kermit: That's a myth.
Doc Hopper: What?
Kermit: Myth! Myth!
Myth: Yeth?
Kermit: Huh?
[same with Fozzie]
Kermit: [to Fozzie]
Kermit: C'mon, bear, burn rubber!
[after Fozzie speeds off from the TV shop]
Doc Hopper: Max! Follow that frog!
[Max drives off leaving Doc Hopper behind]
Doc Hopper: [screaming] Max!
[Max stops and reverses the car]
Doc Hopper: Follow that frog with *me* in the car!
Doc Hopper: Hey frog! That's the second time! Max, I've done my best with that frog, now it's time to do my worst. Open the door.
Max: No! YOU open the door!
Doc Hopper: What?
Max: I'm through, Doc. The frog is right. You're asking him to do something terrible. I can't be a part of it. It's a moral decision and I'll stand by it.
Doc Hopper: I'll double your percentage.
Max: I'll open the door.
Doc Hopper: No frog's gonna make a monkey out of me!
Kermit: Go ahead and kill me.
Doc Hopper: Alright boys. Kill him.
Doc Hopper: [pointing to a billboard showing a bucket of "Doc Hopper's French Fried Frog Legs"] Isn't that splendid? Just splendid! Just take a look at it.
Kermit: All I can see are millions of frogs with tiny crutches.
Doc Hopper: This is Snake Walker. Tell 'em what you do, Snake.
Frog Killer: [removes his sunglasses] Kill frogs.
Doc Hopper: Remember, Max, we're looking for a frog and a bear in a tan Studebaker.
Max: [sarcastically] Gee, Doc, all I see is a frog and a bear in a rainbow-colored Studebaker...
The cartoon was originally from National Lampoon:
NatLamp had the best, funniest, sickest cartoons ever.
And the best covers.....
