Inspired by mimes Shields and Yarnell, Fozzie Bear works on a mime act, including "Bear walking against the wind". Kermit suggests that Fozzie find a more original act, so Fozzie tries out "Bear feeding spaghetti to an elephant" and "Bear going to a drive-in movie with a porcupine".

Songs/SketchesEdit

• Green birds sing "Take a Chance on Me" while bouncing on telephone pole wires.
• Shields and Yarnell perform a scene of robots eating breakfast.
• UK Spot: A Gorilla on a building sings "It's Lonely at the Top"
• Shields, Yarnell, and Beauregard do a "Wild West" sketch
• The Snerfs dance to "Little Brown Jug"
• Fozzie Bear performs a monologue.
• Shields, Yarnell, and the Muppets perform "Make 'Em Laugh."

NotesEdit
