Revision as of 07:51, 30 November 2013
- 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.
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.
Fozzie: Wax lips. |
- 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.
Man: No, no pictures. |
- Fozzie starting a chain of blabbing about Kermit's date, and then inviting everyone at the hotel to go along with him.
- The entire first ten minutes, which take a complete and total wrecking ball to the fourth wall by starting with the Muppets lampooning the opening credits and follows it up with a musical number called "Hey, a Movie!".
- 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.
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:
Lady Holiday: I feel as if thieves are breathing down my 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.)
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 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!
