Line 12: ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''[[The Great Muppet Caper]]'' includes examples of the following: ===~~ * [[Actor Allusion]]: Kermit's reporter role and outfit hearken back to his on-the-spot interviews of fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters on ''[[Sesame Street]]''. ** Peter Falk's cameo features him sitting down next to Kermit and attempting to tell him his entire life story. Unlike Columbo, though, he is "100% wrong." Line 24: * [[The Cameo]]: ''lots'' of them, sometimes [[Lampshaded]]. Including one from [[Creator Cameo\|Jim Henson himself]]. {{quote\|'''Peter Ustinov''': What are you doing here? '''[[Sesame Street\|Oscar the Grouch]]''': A very brief cameo.~~<br~~ /> '''Ustinov [sadly]''': Me too. }} * [[Cardboard Prison]] Line 70: * [[Love At First Sight]]: Kermit and Miss Piggy, of course. * [[Love Makes You Crazy]]: The disturbingly hilarious crush Charles Grodin's character Nick Holiday has for Miss Piggy throughout the film. {{quote\|'''Nick:''' Miss Piggy... You're a very different looking woman. I'm so tired of the same type, [[Purple Prose\|those tall thin creatures with the long legs, the aquiline noses, the teeth like pearls, soft skin]]... ~~<br~~ /> '''Miss Piggy:''' Yeah, well I can see where that might make you sick to your stomach. }} * [[Medium Awareness]]: "It's a movie!" Line 93: * [[Opt Out]]: Subverting the usual trope, ''everybody'' starts opting out when Kermit proposes his plan to stop Nicky's gang from stealing the Baseball Diamond. All except Gonzo and Fozzie, that is, the latter of whom uses a heck of a guilt trip to get everyone back in. * [[Rousing Speech]]: {{quote\|'''Fozzie:''' HOLD IT!!! [[What the Hell, Hero?\|Shaaaaaaame on you!]] [[We ARE Struggling Together!\|I thought we were in this thing together!]] I'm just as scared as you are, but this has to be done! We don't want the ''bad guys'' to win! We ''gotta'' do this! [[Meaningless Meaningful Words\|For... for... for... justice! For... freedom. For... honesty.]]~~<br~~ /> '''Kermit:''' Fozzie, you okay?~~<br~~ /> '''Fozzie:''' That took a lot out of me! }} * [[Seven Minute Lull]]: 15 Seconds Kermit Yells "Quiiiieeettttt!!!"
