Puppety Sockman the Puppet features in A Behind the Scenes Look at Kermit's Swamp Years, a film by Joe the Armadillo. He is discovered on the set of Kermit's Swamp Years by director David Gumpel and immediately hired for a scene in the film.

His absence from the final cut suggests that either a) his scene was edited out, b) Joe, who had been vying for a part in the film, kept his creation from completing filming out of jealousy, or c) that Puppety Sockman the Puppet's rise to fame was all part of a cruel joke.
