Funny / Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas

• "The Bathing Suit That Grandma Otter Wore," a hilarious pastiche of bawdy music hall songs consisting of some of the most hysterically corny fat jokes imaginable.
• When Gretchen Fox leaves before Alice Otter can give her the bill, Alice tries to get her attention: "And since it's three days until Christmas, I'd really appreciate it if...you'd...fall off the dock."
• Chuck isn’t hungry. He’s... [with reverb] HUUUNGREEEE!
• The performers in the horse suit.
  • And Will Possum and Harrison Fox's reaction to it (missing from most edits of the show).
  Will: Better fill, Harrison. We're off to a shaky start.
• The Hilarious Outtakes (included on the 2005 and 2017 DVD) deserve a mention as well. Especially the drum one — Jim wanted it to roll a certain way, but it rolled perfectly once, when the cameras weren't rolling, and they all lost their minds trying to recreate it. They're particularly funny as Frank Oz is doing the temp voice for Ma.
  • Ma's various reactions:
    Emmet: Who are they, Ma?
    Ma: Beats me. Hooligans is what they are! Probably some of those Riverbottom boys. *drum rolls out*
    Ma: ...What the hell was that?
  • And
    Ma: Sweet Jesus! Good Lord! Did you see that? Did you see that? Did you—did you—did...?
  • Also
    Ma: Hubba-wa! Hubba-hubba-ha-wa! Hubba-wa—
  • Or
    Ma: Get the drum! Run, run! It's worth about ten bucks! RUN, RUN!
    Emmet: I can't! My feet are stapled!
  • Jerry Nelson gets in on it as well
    Emmet: Do we get hazard pay for this? I thought I was gonna get hit that time.
  • And
    Emmet: He ^note Jim Henson likes 'em all. He just likes to see the drum roll out the door.
  • And
    Ma: *squats down* I'm a Munchkin.
    Emmet: *copies Ma*
  • And this particular goof of Emmet's:
    Emmet: Who are we Ma?
    Ma: I *begins corpsing* couldn't care less!
  • It's also hilarious how they sometimes treat the drum as another muppet instead of a prop:
    Ma: (to drum) Well, win a few, lose a few, right drum?
  • And that's not considering the one punny joke Jerry unleashed in one of the takes, with both Jerry and Frank channeling their inner gangsters:
    Emmet: (to drum) I'm gonna have you drummed out of this business!
    Ma: Well? Well? Get up! Kick him, Emmet!
  • They also channel their inner beggars in-between takes:
    Ma: You okay, Emmet?
    Emmet: Spare change?
    Ma: Anything for me and my son?
    Emmet: Come on, we just need a little, you know?
  • And
    Ma: *lies down* I'm just going to lay here on the pavement for a second here, son.
    Emmet: *looks up at crew member* Spare change? Help my Ma out, spare change? All she needs is a bottle of Ripple...
  • On one take where the drum lands flat in front of them.
    Ma: (to the drum) Flat out, huh?
  • When the camera was left in front a clapperboard showing the number of time the drum scene have been shot, someone ^note likely Frank Oz as Ma can be heard saying "I love this, I'm gonna get addicted to it."
  • After they finally succeed, Emmet and his mom bow, then flop over.
    Emmet: Can't we do it again, Ma?
    Ma: Shut up, Emmet.
• The other bloopers are hilarious as well.
  Wendell Porcupine: First prize is fifty dollars.
  Emmet: Fifty dollars?!
  Wendell: In merchandise.
  Emmet: Oh. Oh, I knew there was a catch.
  Wendell: Yeah, it's in hamburgers.
  • And
    Hetty Muskrat: Oh, don't fuss Alice, I'm just here to use the spinning wheel you keep on borrowing from me.
    Ma^note performed by Frank Oz: Well, sit down! Oh, I don't even—I—ohh.
    Hetty: Ohh.
    Ma: *turns to camera as it zooms in* I'm sor—it's my fault, I admit it, alright? Alright?! Ya happy?!
