Walk this way is an old-established joke that has its roots in vaudeville. Relying for its punchline on the linguistic double usage of "way" as both a direction and manner, the joke is perhaps most familiar to modern audiences via Mel Brooks in many of his films, including Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Spaceballs and Young Frankenstein. The Muppets have followed this comedic tradition, incorporating the classic gag on several occassions.

  • Walk this way is an old-established joke that has its roots in vaudeville. Relying for its punchline on the linguistic double usage of "way" as both a direction and manner, the joke is perhaps most familiar to modern audiences via Mel Brooks in many of his films, including Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Spaceballs and Young Frankenstein. Brooks, however, is not the only purveyor. Monty Python's Flying Circus used the line as a running gag, and the joke has been used or referenced in films and television shows ranging from M*A*S*H, Daffy Duck cartoons, and The Three Stooges shorts to Rugrats, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Garfield and Friends and Animaniacs. Brooks' version also inspired a 1975 song by Aerosmith. The Muppets have followed this comedic tradition, incorporating the classic gag on several occassions.
