Revision as of 00:14, 10 June 2014

Gonzo eats a rubber tire to the music of "The Flight of the Bumblebee" in episode 101 of The Muppet Show. But he only gets a few bites in before he is booed off the stage. A reproduction of the tire from this appearance, replete with bitemarks, was included with Palisades Toys' Tuxedo Gonzo Action Figure.

Gonzo later plays the song on his bugle in episode 218, as Rowlf plays the piano and Animal chases a bumblebee.

In episode 107 of Muppets Tonight, Bill the Bubble Guy blows bubbles while the song plays.

In a 2010 Sesamstrasse segment, Ernie and Bert attend the sound check of a philharmonic orchestra rehearsing the song. Refusing to wear a beekeeper's hat, Bert has to suffer the consequences.
