* RuleOfThree: For the ''Pirates of Penzance'' medley, Gilda is initially on stage alone as she breaks into "I am the very model of a modern Major General"[[note]] Or, rather, "a modern Major Gineral", since W.S. Gilbert needed it to rhyme with "mineral".[[/note]]... but when she starts tripping over the words after just three lines, the seven-foot carrot enters and chides her for her mistake. After a short duet of "When a felon's not engaged in his employment", the carrot starts singing the Major General's song... and only gets ''two'' lines in before he starts verbally stumbling; his hypocrisy is not lost on Gilda. After another duet of "Poor wan'dring one", they finally sing the Major General's song as a duet, trading off every few words.

In the Creator/AnthonyPerkins-hosted episode of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' from March 1976, filmed after the Land of Gorch sketches were scrapped, Scred (Jerry Nelson) pleads with Perkins to get the Muppets back onto ''SNL'', making his case by impersonating Gilda as Emily Litella expressing horror at seeing "toasted English Muppets" on a diner menu. Fast forward to 1978, and Gilda opens her ''Muppet Show'' appearance in character as Emily Litella wondering why she's appearing on ''The Muffin Show''.
