Line 30:
* [[The Scrappy]]: Averted for the most part in Robin's case; Robin isn't universally hated by any means, but some Muppet fans can be a little bit testy when he shows up. Not nearly as much as Bean Bunny or Pepe from later productions, though.
* [[Smurfette Breakout]]: Miss Piggy, one of the few female Muppets, was initially only a minor character but her popularity skyrocketed and she is now probably the most famous of them, along with Kermit.
* [[So Bad ItsIt's Good]]: Much of the comedy comes from just how lousy the variety show that the Muppets put on is. Notably, Gonzo's stunts and Fozzie's jokes. ''The Muppet Show'', like ''Monty Python's Flying Circus'' and the cartoons of Jay Ward is a nigh perfect example of how it takes great intelligence and talent to create something so deliberately silly that it crosses the line into awesomeness.
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: Let's be honest here. [[Moral Guardians|Sam the Eagle]] ''is'' [[Surrounded By Idiots]].
* [[True Art Is Incomprehensible]]: HUGGA WUGGA!

* [[Ugly Cute]]: It's most apparent in the "monster" characters -- ''[[Sesame Street (TV)|Sesame Street]]'' monsters such as Grover, Telly or Elmo tend to be more traditionally cute, but the monsters of ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' and related productions are usually designed to look more grotesque, and are still pretty adorable -- but it's a widespread trope for the Muppets in general. In fact, any Muppet not specifically designed to be cute is likely to be [[Ugly Cute]] in some way.
** Also, Animal.
