Line 2:
[[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshades hung]] in puppet shows.
----
* ''[[
* ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' and all their movies hang enough lampshades to open a store.
* Ventriloquist [[Jeff Dunham]] and his entourage of puppets often joke about the fact that Jeff is the one who's delivering all the dialogue. Especially in this one moment where Peanut and José Jalapeño start talking to each other in Spanish:
{{quote|
'''Peanut:''' I'm speaking to José in his native tongue!
'''Jeff:''' Well, don't do that!
'''Peanut:''' Why not?
'''Jeff:''' Well, it makes me feel... left out.
'''Peanut:''' ''(awkward pause)'' Huh?
'''Jeff:''' Well, I don't speak Spanish!
'''Peanut:''' ''(stares at Jeff)''
'''José: ''' ''(also stares at Jeff and hums ''[[Twilight Zone]]'' theme)''
'''Peanut:''' Picture it if you will... }}
** Another, from one of his early appearances, where he picks on Stu, a member of the audience:
{{quote|
''(Peanut turns toward Jeff)''
'''Peanut:''' Your elbow... }}
** And again (twice in one bit of banter, actually), with Peanut...
{{quote|
'''Jeff:''' What happened?
'''Peanut:''' ''(looks at the stool he's standing on)'' Kept falling off this frickin' thing... }}
** [[Jeff Dunham]] ''really'' likes this trope. At one point, Peanut keeps trying to "bite" Jeff's face, and Jeff keeps on blocking him.

** And again, after a long stint of Peanut mispronouncing Jeff's name:
{{quote|
''(gets a angry face from Jeff)''
'''Peanut:''' ''(turns to the audience)'' The strange thing is I '''am''' actually pissing him off. And he would like to ''kill'' me, but that would be a form of suicide. }}
** Peanut seems to be made for this (either via [[Flanderization]] or through [[Characterization Marches On]]), especially when paired with José.
** Not just Peanut, all the puppets will at one point or another point out they aren't real and reference coming out, or going into, the zen suitcase often.
