Ginger

Ginger is the hapless assistant to Dr. Gary Funnie. He made his first appearance in Comedy Stars Labs sketches during the second season of The Comedy Stars Show. Carl the Star describes Bumper by saying "If somebody has to get hurt, it's almost always Bumper."

The Comedy Stars Show
Prior to Beaker's debut, Dr. Honeydew appeared in Muppet Labs segments by himself, but the timid assistant added a new level of comedy to the sketches. Dr. Honeydew's experiments and inventions always seem to go awry, and Beaker is their perpetual victim. He has been shrunk, cloned, punched, deflated, zapped, turned invisible, and blown up, but he always comes back for more, though he appears to exist in a state of constant fear.

On The Muppet Show, Beaker has sung "Feelings" and, accompanied by The Swedish Chef and Animal, "Danny Boy."
