[[The Muppet Show]] is a great party game you can play, should you find yourself, as you regularly will, stuck on an idiotic [[conference call]]. It’s really rather easy. Just slip in a sly reference to ''The Muppet Show''.

You don’t have shout, “Pigs in Space!” or directly address anyone Fozzie Bear — although bonus points if you do — but simply suggesting (when a suitable context arises) “It’s time to get things started,” or, “it’s time to play the music” or, should the question be aired, “will we be able to definitively eliminate the tail risk in this?” chipping in, “''I guess we’ll never know''” will get you on the board.


You don't have to actually call anyone Fozzie Bear, however tempting it may be. Simply suggesting (when a suitable context arises) “I think it's time to get things started”, or “will we be able to definitively eliminate the tail risk? ''[[I guess we'll never know]]''” or, if it’s a call with fans of [[buzzword]]s, “it’s time to play the music”. They'll like that and may even unwittingly adopt it.

Extraordinary that it took until 10 October in the year of our lord 2018 — some seven years after it began — for there to be an article with this title on this wiki, but there you have it.

The Muppet Show is a great party game you can play, should you find yourself, as you regularly will, stuck on an idiotic conference call. It’s really rather easy. Just slip in a sly reference to The Muppet Show.

You don’t have shout, “Pigs in Space!” or directly address anyone Fozzie Bear — although bonus points if you do — but simply suggesting (when a suitable context arises) “It’s time to get things started,” or, “it’s time to play the music” or, should the question be aired, “will we be able to definitively eliminate the tail risk in this?” chipping in, “I guess we’ll never know” will get you on the board.
