S&vdalipicasso — Dali referenced in *The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence*

Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) was a 20th century surrealist painter most famous for his "melting clocks" painting, The Persistence of Memory.

References

He was spoofed on Sesame Street with a character named Salvador Dada, a French artist who appeared in a sketch with Biff in Season 6.

Dalí was also referenced in a scene in the 1975 pilot The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence. The clocks on the wall of the main production room show the times in various cities in one scene; in another scene, the clocks have changed to a cubist "Picasso" clock, a melting "Dalí" clock, and a blank "Anonymous" clock.

In the Muppet Babies episode "The Weirdo Zone", Baby Gonzo shows the babies what his version of weird is. Dalí-like imagery is used to illustrate what Gonzo calls the Weird Zone.

The Cookie Thief features a spoof of Dalí's The Persistence of Memory, titled The Persistence of Cookies.

The melted clock dangling on the tree branch in The Persistence of Memory appears in an Alphaquest segment as a "wilted watch."
