It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie: Difference between revisions

Daniel himself is sent to aid Kermit, who is so distraught by the events that he wishes he had never been born. As in the original film, the angel grants the wish, taking Kermit on a crazy trip through an alternate existence in which Miss Piggy is a theatrical has-been who does telephone acting, Fozzie is a pickpocket, and Gonzo is homeless, among others. Then when Kermit tries to un-wish the situation, Daniel's not entirely sure how to put the world back to normal...

 

 

* [[Adrenaline Makeover]]: More of an Adrenaline Costume Change; Piggy changes into a martial arts ensemble ''really'' quickly to face off Bitterman.

* [[Impossible Thief]]: In the alternate reality, Fozzie picks Kermit's pocket and steals his wallet. Daniel [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] the impossible part when he points out that Kermit doesn't ''have'' pockets.

* [[In Mysterious Ways]]: The Boss invokes the trope toward the end of movie.

* [[Jerkass]]: Rachel Bitterman.

* [[Let There Be Snow]]: The finale.

** So.. basically I die, then go to work with [[Dilbert]]?

* [[Parental Bonus]]: As usual with the Muppets, particularly the scenes in the alternate reality.

* [[Race Against the Clock]]: Bitterman is counting on the Muppets failing to pay the rent by the time specified on the modified lease so she can evict them and tear down the theater.

* [[Recycled in Space]]: ''[[Its a Wonderful Life]]'' <small>WITH MUPPETS</small>!

* [[Santa Claus]]: Fozzie accidentally gives the rent money to a street-corner Santa (actually a Salvation Army volunteer) instead of delivering it to Bitterman by the deadline.

* [[Shout Out]]/[[Mythology Gag]]: A big one to the original ''[[The Muppet Movie]]'', when Kermit discovers that in the world where he never existed, Doc Hopper did successfully open his chain of french-fried frog legs restaurants.

** While in the park, Kermit sees a statue of himself with some children, which has this (first movie-inspired) inscription: "For the lovers, the dreamers and you..."

* [[Show Within a Show]]: A few, starting with the play being performed in the Muppet theater.
