Line 25:
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Pepe the prawn, who leaves the Muppets to work for Bitterman, followed by his inevitable [[Heel Face Turn]] back.
* [[Fun With Acronyms]]: Bitterman Bank And Development ('''B.B.A.D.''')
* [["Gift of the Magi" Plot]]: Spoofed in the beginning of the film, when several Muppets exchange gifts only to discover that they've given up prized possessions to do so.
** [[Subverted]] [[Rule of Three|the third time]] with Johnny Fiama and Sal, because while Sal has sold his moped to buy Johnny a solid gold record player, Johnny apparently hasn't even ''thought'' of getting Sal anything.
* [[Harmless Freezing]]: Kermit is frozen while sitting in the park after losing the theater, Daniel sends him flying into a nearby trash can before warming him up with no ill effects.
Line 47:
* [[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.
** The Muppets' stage show is a very drawn-out [[Shout -Out]] to ''[[Moulin Rouge]]'', complete with color-change, [[G-Rated Drug|"funny green root beer"]], and "Saltine" the performer. Heck, just look at its name: Moulin ''[[A Christmas Carol|Scrooge]]''.
** 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.
