Smerdley is Mr. Briteweight's personal assistant who appears in the Muppet Meeting Film, "The Big Picture." In the short, Smerdley is reluctant to get Mr. Briteweight's cup of coffee due to his own time constraints, launching Briteweight into a "Sell, Sell, Sell!" type lecture. When acting out that the company has died, and it's Smerdley's fault and tries to jump out his window, Smerdley changes his mind, and runs to get the coffee...through the open window.
