Hugga Wugga

Hugga Wugga on The Muppet Show

Name: Hugga Wugga (or Sclrap Flyapp)
First Seen: The Today Show (1963)

The Ed Sullivan Show, 1968

 The Muppet character known as Hugga Wugga has evolved much over the years. In 1963, when the sketch now known as "Hugga Wugga" aired for the first time, Hugga Wugga was known as Sclrap Flyapp (and so was the sketch). That name came from the words the character would sing. Hugga Wugga, in every incarnation, had a penchant for blowing up those who did not sing the same words it was singing. Many have fallen to the senseless blasting of Hugga Wugga.

Though its appearance has changed much, the character hasn't. This alien-like Muppet with a fuming temper and nose, is usually seen with two other alien like Muppets on a rocky planet filled with mystery (which looks a lot like dense fog). Hugga Wugga doesn't really care for free thinkers and much prefers that everyone be like it is.

Hugga Wugga was seen in The Muppet Show episode 118 (Phyllis Diller) as well as in comics and in Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff . He's definitely one of my favorite Muppets of all time. Watch the sketch below and you'll laugh. You'll be singing Hugga Wugga in no time at all.
