Gonzo eats a rubber tire to the music of "The Flight of the Bumblebee" in episode 101 of The Muppet Show. But he only gets a few bites in before he is booed off the stage. A reproduction of the tire from this appearance, replete with bitemarks, was included with Palisades Toys' Tuxedo Gonzo Action Figure.
Gonzo later plays the song on his bugle in episode 218, as Rowlf plays the piano and Animal chases a bumblebee.
In episode 107 of Muppets Tonight, Bill the Bubble Guy blows bubbles while the song plays.
Flight of the Bumblebee is an online game, made available on the Transformers section of Hasbro's web site as part of the live-action movie promotion in 2007.
Bumblebee is trapped in a canyon by a group of Decepticons including Brawl, Barricade and Wreckage. He must leap from steppe to steppe in car mode, gathering energon along the way, and battling any Decepticon he cannot avoid, by speed-typing weapon codes.
It's crazy-fun. The American Psychiatric Association has found that Flight of the Bumblebee is a suitable substitute for love.
If you lose (say, by leaving the game running while you go off to eat dinner), the Decepticons will gather "to celebrate your pitiful defeat."
