Big-Fat-Ugly-Bug-Face-Baby-Eating O'Brien is a deep-voiced, yet beautiful pirate seen in Muppet Treasure Island. She is featured briefly in the crew roll-call. When she responds to her name with a deep-voiced "Aye!", Captain Smollett and Samuel Arrow's jaws slowly drop in astonishment before Arrow resumes calling roll.
The character was part of the several name gags in the sequence (such as Old Tom, Real Old Tom, and Dead Tom). The nasty name of the beautiful woman was a comic parallel to the beautiful name of the nasty monster Angel Marie, who was next on the roll call. The only difference is that Angel Marie's voice goes with his appearance.
In the DVD audio commentary for the film, Rizzo asks, "What was up with her?" to which Gonzo replies, "Don't ask, don't tell."
