Line 413:
* [[Verb This]]: Piggy usually does this before punching somebody.
* [[Vetinari Job Security]]: Whenever Kermit isn't around to run the show, things quickly get out of hand -- moreso, anyway.
* [[The Villain Must Be Punished]]: Normally, Miss Piggy attacking guests or Kermit for insulting her, or trying to manipulate him in wanting to be more than friends, leads to her getting off scot-free. There was one time that she went too far, by planting a story that he and Miss Piggy got secretly married in Las Vegas, and tricked him into posing for a cover photo of ''Tongue'' magazine. Kermit became so mad at this "bald-faced" lie that he fired her on the spot.
* [[Visual Pun]]: The show practically ''ran'' on these. No Muppet could use an expression without triggering one. Often, especially in the "backstage" parts, the Visual Puns would involve Muppets who walked onscreen just to make the Visual Pun, then promptly disappeared, never to be seen again.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: [[Statler and Waldorf]]. You can tell that they can't live without each other, although they constantly heckle, make fun of, insult and sometimes even hit each other! Fozzie and Kermit also count.
