What does Rita Moreno say to Animal in the Muppets

Answered

In a sketch in the Muppets

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDjXeWksP4w

at about 1 minute in Rita Moreno gives Animal a lecture, posssibly in Spanish.

Can anyone translate for me what she says? Andrewa (talk) 07:02, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Here is a translation:

"Listen, buddy. All I wanna tell you is that you shouldn't do that. It's not nice, you understand? Look at me when I'm talking to you. This is my number, and if you bother me any more I'm gonna hit you so hard, it's gonna leave you stupid. Cool it."^[1]

I cannot vouch for the accuracy, but it is in conformance with the bits I understand from the spoken text.

Now if someone could translate Animal's response...  ​‑‑Lambiam 10:49, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

TV series episode with attempt at murdering children

I remember watching a TV series episode many years ago. There was a woman who wanted to murder two children. To this end, she had baked three cookies shaped like wild animals: Mr. Elephant, Mr. Tiger and Mr. Giraffe.

Mr. Elephant was safe but Mr. Tiger and Mr. Giraffe were laced with a poisonous plant. The woman ate Mr. Elephant herself and gave Mr. Tiger to Mr. Giraffe to the children. But her plan was stopped before the children got to eat the cookies so they didn't die after all.

That's all I remember. Does anyone know which TV series and which episode this was? JIP | Talk 21:10, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
