The bus was also featured prominently in Muppets from Space, still boasting a 1970s paint job and interior decoration, to update the bus from the 1970s to the 1990s, the 45s that adorned the ceiling were replaced with CDs. The bus was also featured in Wendy's Kid's Meal promotions for the film. Although visibly absent, it did merit a verbal tribute in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, however. Commenting on the band's lateness, Floyd Pepper remarks, "We've been driving the same lousy bus since 1978."
