Individual Skits
The first Bay of Pigswatch sketch is unique in that it stars Miss Piggy- she makes a cameo as herself. She is being chased by a shark- or THINKS she is, because as it so happens, the Shark is scared of pigs, and swims off in the opposite direction. The incompetant lifeguard Champ Schwimmer does not come to Miss Piggy's rescue, because he is rather preoccupied by his glamorous new assistant lifeguard, Spamela Hamderson. He collapses at the sight of her, and insists that he needs mouth-to-mouth resuscitation- this is an excuse to get Spamela to kiss him. Miss Piggy- whom Spamela mistakes for a baby whale- arrives and, when Champ admits he would rather make out with Spamela than save her from a shark, she karate chops him across the beach.
Champ finds another excuse to kiss Spamela- she has been poisoned by a jellyfish, who stung her in the foot. He proceeds to suck out the poison- starting with her lips! Meanwhile, Donnie and Art C. Shell mistake a World War II mine for a beach ball and toss it back and forth. When Champ tries to intervene, he drops the mine and is incinerated.
- Julius Strangepork makes an appearance as the commissioner of beach safety. He explains that Champ Schwimmer's lifeguard licence needs to be renewed- but the licence is missing. Dr. Strangepork decides to make Spamela the new lifeguard, but rather surprisingly, Champ's bumbling assistants, Donnie and Art, find his licence inside a fish! Champ gets his job back.
