While doing a stand-up routine in Saudi Arabia, Fozzie Bear starts to tell a joke with "I knew a guy who was so Arab....." He is interrupted by a man who pulls out a sword and asks "How Arab was he?" Fozzie nervously answers "He was so Arab that everyone liked him and there was nothing funny about him at all!" This is almost the same thing that happened to Fozzie in the movie, except the joke started "I knew a sailor who was so fat..." and a fat sailor breaks a bottle and menacingly asks "How fat was he?!"
