That should be "they're".

MovieChat Forums > The Muppet Movie (1979) Discussion > bear left, right frog
To this day, each time someone is in the car with me giving me directions, I absolutely MUST yell, triumphantly, "Right Frog!", immediately after hearing "bear left".
It's sad though, nobody gets that joke anymore....:(
I not only get it, I do that too. Thanks! Now I feel like less of a freak (though I'm maybe too old to be doing Muppet Movie jokes anyway).
Death is...whimsical today.
My problem is fighting the urge to ask lost people if they tried hari krishna...
It is not our abilities that make us who we are...it is our choices
I do the hari krishna bit and my friend Danielle and I always do the bear left/right frog thing when driving together. Has just become part of our comic shorthand. that and "the scourge" from Ghostbusters II if we mention something we've already talked about. lol
My job often requires me to persistenly ask people their names...often find myself wanting to follow what is your name? With "what is your favorite color?" and "what is the airspeed of a coconut laden swallow?"
It is not our abilities that show who we truly are...it is our choices
Ummm...WHY does "What is the airspeed of a coconut laden swallow?" sound SO familiar?

Monty Python's Holy Grail.
"What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
"What do you mean? African or European swallow?"
"I don't know that! aahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"How do you know so much about swallows my lord?"
"You have to know these things when you're a king you know."
Wow. I have seen this movie more times since I asked this, & I had forgotten about it. Thank you for answering. My new question: why did you reply twice?
Were you imitating Vincent Twice Vincent Twice?

I pull out the old Hare Krishna line when I hear someone mention they're lost.
Normally, I don't get a response, but occasionally they're puzzled and ask what I'm talking about. I then reply that it's a running gag and move on.
There's so many jokes I still use, that I got form the Muppets, and they usually do get a laugh.
• Mishearing the words 'miss' and 'myth.'
• If someone mentions a herd of cows I tell them of course I've heard of them.
• Like the 'do you like Kipling?' gag, I'll turn someone's name into a verb if it works.
• and of course there's the classic Snew!
Love all of the above plus:
* A bear in his natural habitat: a Studebaker!
* Sparkling muscatel: on of the finest wines of Idaho...would you like to smell the bottle cap?
* I keep picturing millions of frogs on tiny crutches
One of my favorite movies ever
