Line 240:
* [[Lethal Chef]]: The very few times he does actually manage to complete a dish, it usually ends up something the non-suicidal would not want to put in their mouths.
* [[Once an Episode]]: Doing a little song and dance, then throwing some cooking utensils over his shoulder. Frank Oz had a [[Self-Imposed Challenge]] to try to knock over every single item on the back wall. He only ever managed it once.
* [[Non -Standard Character Design]]: The only Muppet to be designed to use the puppeteer's exposed hands. It takes a lot of dexterity to be that clumsy.
* [[Norse by Norsewest]]
* [[Team Chef]]
Line 474:
 
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Robin may be a relatively minor character, but he's had two opportunities to take the spotlight all for himself: his performance of "Halfway Down The Stairs" (which became a Top 40 hit), and starring in his own action game for the Playstation.
* [[Artifact Title]]: Why is he named Robin? In his first appearance, he was a human prince named [[Monty Python and Thethe Holy Grail|Sir Robin the Brave]] who had... [[The Frog Prince|well, we all know this story.]] After this, he was retooled as Kermit's nephew (the whole Frog Prince thing could probably fall under the [[Animated Actors]] clause), but he kept his medieval-era name.
* [[Cheerful Child]]
* [[Innocent Prodigy]]
* [[Kid Appeal Character]]
* [[Little Miss Snarker|Little Mister Snarker]]: Sometimes.
* [[Lovable Coward]]: Has some elements of this, being a kid and all. You may think "Sir Robin the Brave" is a reference to [[Monty Python and Thethe Holy Grail|something]], but ''The Frog Prince'' [[Older Than They Think|predates that movie by a few years]].
* [[Morality Pet]]: If the Muppets ever need to dial down the chaos and get a little sentimental, Robin is usually front and centre.
* [[Nephewism]]: The second season firmly established Robin as Kermit's nephew. His parents are never seen, but his father was mentioned once on this show. ''[[Muppet Babies]]'' later referred to his mother being Kermit's older sister. This trope is so evident that Robin played the Tiny Tim role to Kermit's Bob Cratchit in ''[[The Muppet Christmas Carol]]''.
