Fozzie’s Last Joke
Main summary
Key takeaways
Summary
Fozzie Bear tries to kick off his comedy set, but his first joke—about the elderly Statler and Waldorf dying someday—lands badly. The two hecklers are furious, and Fozzie insists they’ve been talking down to him for years.
The fallout quickly becomes absurdly huge. A news report says Arkansas has banned Fozzie, while Statler and Waldorf describe him as a menace. Then a breaking-news bulletin claims the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been resolved, with both sides apparently united in condemning Fozzie’s ageist joke. Even Kim Jong-un issues a public statement against him.
Fozzie finally apologizes and asks to continue. He starts, “So what’s the deal with 9/11?”—and is immediately shot, ending the show on a grim punchline.
