Fraggle Rock/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The entire third-season episode "The Secret Society of Poobahs" is hilarious with all the increasingly silly and absurd customs of the Poobah society, but the definite highlight is the roll call (made even better by Jim Henson's brilliant performance as the Vanguard):

Beggler-Beg: The trial of Mokey Fraggle shall now begin! All Poobahs should be present! The judge will call the roll...
Vanguard: Allllll present shall reply by saying 'present,' And allllll absent shall reply by saying 'linoleum'! Fritz?"
Two Fraggles, in unison: Present!
Vanguard: Fritz?
Another Fraggle: Present!
Vanguard: Fritz?
Another Fraggle: Present!
Vanguard: Fritz?
Another Fraggle: Present!
Vanguard: Fritz?
Another Fraggle: Linoleum!
Vanguard: Ah, that Fritz, he's never here when you need him. And finally, Fritz, Fritz, Fritz, Fritz, Fritz and Fritz!
Fraggles: Present, Present, Present, Present, Present... present with an explanation!
Vanguard. Mmmmmmmm. (turns to the Beggler-Beg) All present and accounted fooooor... except for Fritz!
Beggler-Beg: Thank you, Fritz.

  • In the "Great Radish Famine," the Doozers take up knitting as a substitute for their construction work. Needless to say, they hated it.
  • In the same episode mentioned above, the Trash Heap optimistically fantazies what the Fraggle, Doozer, Gorg meeting turned out to be. She imagines them singing a Taste Like Diabetes song.
  • The fraggles watch their water supply lower.

Wembley: Why does the water vanish everyday?
(Cut to) Junior Gorg: Why does daddy have to take a bath everyday?

  • One of Uncle Traveling M Att's postcards is about the time he decided to try out the rapid transit of the Silly Creatures- a roller coaster. His expression as the speed kicks up is utterly hilarious.
