What happens when Lips leaves Clifford to record Muppet Meetings while he's out of town. What could happen when everyone realizes there's a tape recording in the room? One word: Chaos.

Lips was going out of town for a few days, so just in case if there were any meetings involving what would be performed on the Muppet Show, he had Clifford record them, thinking nothing could go wrong with that.

One day, Kermit held a meeting in Muppet Theater about suggestions for what to perform for the show that week. Kermit stood on the stage while all the other Muppets were seated in the auditorium, where the frog said, "Okay everyone, the show this week has to be very good, like all the other Muppet Show performances and I need everything to be in good taste and go smoo-Clifford, what's that you got in your lap?"

Clifford had a tape recorder from the 90s that he was using to record the audio of the meeting. "This thing? It's a tape recorder. Since Lips is out of town for a while, he asked me to record all the meetings. To know what was happening at the theater, you know," the Rastafarian explained.

Clifford didn't notice this but Dr. Teeth suddenly got a mischievous look in his eye, signifying he was going to do something crazy.

"Ah, alright then. Well, let's carry on with the meeting shall we. Now, who has some suggestions for what to perform on the Muppet Show first?" Kermit asked his friends.

Miss Piggy stood up and said, "As always, moi will perform a song that will receive wonderful applause and-." But that was as far as the pig went for Dr. Teeth suddenly jumped to his feet, shouting, "Oh my god! Clifford! What are you doing?!"

"What?" Clifford said, confused. He wasn't doing anything wrong. He was just sitting in a seat in the auditorium.

"You're not allowed to take off your pants in the middle of the theater!" Dr. Teeth shouted.

"What! No I ain't!" Clifford snapped.

Zoot, upon realizing what Dr. Teeth was doing, smirked and added, "You know what, Cliff; just back off. You're making me uncomfortable. That's sexual harassment by the way!"

"Zoot, I'm not doing any-," Clifford said until Rowlf said, "Oh great Jim! He has a knife!"

"I do not have a knife!" Clifford shouted.

Floyd Pepper then threw in, "No, let the recording show that Clifford is completely nude and is holding a plastic knife to Walter's neck!"

"Let the recording show that Sgt. Floyd Pepper is a liar!" Clifford hollered.

Janice then snatched the microphone from Clifford's hand and whispered, "Lips, Clifford is now wearing a thong. A women's thong, fer sure!"

"I am not!" Clifford snapped.

Miss Piggy, upon realizing what her friends were doing, decided to get in on the joke. "Oh my gosh! Louis Armstrong's ghost just appeared on the stage! Clifford, get a picture quickly for Lips!" she squealed.

"Louis Armstrong's ghost DID NOT appear on the stage, Miss Piggy!" Clifford snapped.

Then, Zondra asked, "What is that on your back, Clifford? Is that a tattoo…OF QUEEN LATIFA!?"

"Oh my goodness, Zondra! You're right! That is a tattoo of Queen Latifa on Clifford's back…and she's wearing a skin-exposing lingerie!" Walter exclaimed.

"Walter! That's-that's just messed up, man!" Clifford shouted.

Gonzo them jumped up and screamed, "I am now chopping off Fozzie's head with a chainsaw!"

The theater then went silent and everyone stared at the whatever with wide eyes of horror.

"Gonzo, that's just twisted," Clifford said.

"What? Too much?" Gonzo asked, confused.

"And why me?!" Fozzie asked frantically.

"I thought we were just joking around to freak out Lips?" Gonzo asked.

Clifford then stood up and shouted, "You know what! Cut that out! Lips does not need to hear all this nonsense from you guys! He needs to know what the set-up for the Muppet Show this week and none of your guys are helping!"

"Clifford's right, we did get a little carried away," Dr. Teeth said. "Sorry, Cliff, we were just teasing."

"Alright, just don't do it anymore," Clifford said, taking a deep breath.

"Okay, now before Miss Piggy continues with what she's about to say, let me say this; Clifford," Kermit said.

"Yeah Kerm?" Clifford asked his boss.

Kermit gave the Muppet a serious expression before saying, "Please put your clothing back on! Nobody wants to see you wearing a women's underwear!"

All the Muppets in the auditorium erupted with laughter, except for Clifford, who had a mortified expression on his face before he snapped, "You know what! I'm not getting any respect as long as I have this tape recorder, so I'm just going to give it to somebody else and leave. Janice, since you have the mic, you're taking the recorder."

"Okay," Janice said, taking the tape recorder and setting it on her lap as Clifford walked out of the auditorium.

Then, Dr. Teeth grabbed the microphone and said into it, "Lips, you might want to forget about being happy with Clifford; dude's got a list of his ex-girlfriends tattooed on the back of his bare legs! He's a player!"

"DR. TEETH!" Clifford shouted as he ran back into the room and tackled the keyboardist to the ground, where the two Muppets proceeded to fight.

"I said to cut out that nonsense!"

"Not my arm! Don't grab my arm! OW!"

"You're a terrible friend!"

"You're worse because you're attacking me about it!"

"I'm doing this to teach you a lesson!"

"Well, it's a horrible lesson!"

While the two Muppets battled and Zoot and Digit tried to split them up, Floyd grabbed the microphone and whispered, "Just a word of warning Lips; Clifford does NOT take teasing to well."

Yep, that's what happens when there's a tape recorder in a Muppet Meeting. It's a bit of a spoof of a scene from the Office in case you couldn't tell.

Jim Henson owns the Muppets!
