| - Jacob and Robert Marley are the former business partners of Ebenezer Scrooge in The Muppet Christmas Carol. Scrooge says that they have always criticized him, while the two geezers say that they were always heckling him. Later, younger versions of the Marley brothers are seen at Fozziwig's Christmas party, enjoying the revelry. They heckle Fozziwig from a balcony in the rubber chicken factory about his speech; they're glad that the speech was short. As the music gets jazzy, Jacob starts dancing. Robert watches his brother closely, commenting "you dancing fool!"
- Both dead and "decaying in their graves," the Marley brothers return to haunt Scrooge. The pair are initially rather jovial about being able to heckle again, but soon, through their song "Marley and Marley", explain their plight. Due to their unbridled greed and cruelty, the pair are forced to wander the earth, bound by an endless chain and laden with Cashboxes and Locks, their earthly plunder now burdening them in the afterlife. They're the vanguard of the other 3 spirits, the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, and warn Scrooge that if he rejects their visitations, his fate will be as dire as theirs.
