Film Appearances
Sam appears in many of the Muppet feature films, usually with only a brief cameo(two in The Great Muppet Caper, the first stepping into the lobby after the Happiness Hotel number simply to claim "You are all weirdos."). However in Muppet Treasure Island he plays first mate Samuel Arrow and thus takes a more active role in the story.
In Muppets from Space, Sam appears at Cape Doom with the rest of the Muppets during the party the alien Muppets cause by singing Celebration. Sam is at first appalled at a girl who is dancing in a shirt which bares her midriff, but is then later seen dancing and enjoying himself. This is the first time Sam was shown in any of the Muppet films actively participating in normal youth culture.
In the 2011 film, Sam is seen doing a segment on news TV called "Everything Stinks" during a montage of getting The Muppets back together; he is then pulled off-screen with a cane. He is later on seen as one of the phone operators of The Muppet Telethon and as part of the Barbershop Quartet singing Smells Like Teen Spirit with Rowlf, Link Hogthrob and Beaker.
