10 Things You Didn't Know About Freddy Krueger

D.C. Follies was a short-lived show from the '80s put together by Sid and Marty Kroft that featured satire of politics via puppets. In one episode, Freddy appears in three very odd segments over the half-hour run-time. In the first one, he threatens to murder President George H.W. Bush until it's explained that if he does that, Dan Quayle would be president. Freddy realizes the ramifications and suddenly wakes up from a nightmare, deciding that he'll just stick to terrorizing teenagers.

Freddy is later shown sitting at a table with a puppet of Tammy Faye Bakker, where the two realize that they are ultimately very similar. The skit ends with Jim Bakker popping in and mistakenly kissing Freddy.

At the end of the show, once all the puppet characters are cleared out, Freddy reflects for a bit. He's feeling low about how he'll only be remembered for a pile of dead teenagers and not for his other talents. Freddy is soon reminded about the time that he sang at Madonna and Sean Penn's wedding and how there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Soon, Freddy feels better and goes off to maim a cat.
