Line 1:
{{tropework}}
* The entire dang ''movie,'' really, but here are some specific examples:
* "You can't even ''sing!'' Your voice was ''dubbed!"''
* The goldfish randomly appearing in Miss Piggy's fantasy sequence.
* Gonzo hailing a cab. By throwing himself down into the middle of the street.
{{quote| ''Yeah, it's great when it works!''}}
* The scene where both sides (Nicky and his cohorts, the Muppets) are checking their equipment before moving out. While Nicky's gang have the usual stuff, the Muppets' list is a bit...strange.
{{quote| '''Fozzie:''' Wax lips.<br />
'''Zoot:''' ...Man, I just had 'em!<br />
''' Dr. Teeth:''' Did you leave 'em in your other pants?<br />
'''Zoot:''' I ain't ''got'' no other pants! }}
* The whole "17 Highbrow Street" scene, from the fact that the address actually exists to John Cleese's completely non-chalant reaction to finding Kermit and Piggy in a closet and recommending a restaurant to them. Although it's really more of a supper club.
* Gonzo attempting to pay for dinner... by selling pictures of the diners for ten dollars a pop. Keep in mind that the dinner was in the thousands of dollars. And one of the couples was a cheating husband and his mistress.
{{quote| '''Man:''' No, no pictures.<br />
'''Gonzo:''' Aw, but it would be a great momento for you and your wife.<br />
'''Man:''' My wife isn't feeling well.<br />
'''Gonzo:''' That's too bad, maybe she should be at home.<br />
'''Man:''' My wife ''is'' at home!<br />
'''Gonzo:''' ''(Stammers incoherently)'' Yes, next table! }}
* Fozzie starting a chain of blabbing about Kermit's date, and then inviting everyone at the hotel to go along with him.
Line 22:
* After the Happiness Hotel song, Sam the Eagle peeks out of his room to say: "You are all. Weirdos!"
* Kermit taking one look at the supper club's menu and just about having a heart attack.
{{quote| '''Kermit:''' It's just sort of amusing that the roast beef is the same price as an Oldsmobile.}}
* This exchange between Lady Holiday and Nicky:
{{quote| '''Lady Holiday:''' I feel as if thieves are breathing down my neck.<br />
'''Nicky''' ''[while breathing down her neck]:'' ''Thieves'' aren't breathing down your neck! }}
* Kermit and Miss Piggy having an in-character argument about why Piggy lied about being Lady Holiday, which devolves into an ''out''-of-character argument about Piggy's overacting. It really has to be seen to be believed.
* Kermit, Fozzie and Gonzo arriving in England by being shipped ninth-class (in boxes that resemble jail cells) and then thrown out the plane into a pond. (Gonzo, of course, loves it.)
{{quote| '''Steward:''' No, the plane lands in Italy! ''You'' land in England!}}
* Kermit proposes a counter-offensive to prevent Nicky's gang from stealing the Baseball Diamond. He emphasizes the danger, and says, "if anyone [[Opt Out|wants out]], now's the time to say so." (Is there a trope for that?) Immediately, everybody except Gonzo and Fozzie starts opting out!
* The entire scene where the Muppets and villains begin to play an impromptu Baseball game with the Baseball diamond, complete with Louis Kazager doing commentary!
