Line 13:
* [[The Muppet Show Comic Book/YMMV|The Muppet Show Comic Book]]
----
* [[Acceptable Targets]]: During the [[Putting the Band Back Together]] montage, Sam the Eagle is an anchor for his own news segment "Everything Stinks", and on the bottom scrolling bar is a list of everything in the world that stinks, such as the French, and the ''[[Mind Screw|non-French]]''.
** Sam's straitlaced behavior and appeal to patriotism was always a mild satire of
** The Muppets also figure it's okay to kidnap Jack Black to host the show, because "a celebrity is not a people". Although, [[Cloudcuckoolander|Lew Zealand]] says this, so the thought may not have been shared by all. Kermit was openly against it.
* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: The song "Me Party" could be taken to be about [[A Date with Rosie Palms]].
Line 46:
** Also the fart shoes.
** "Me Party" doesn't advance the plot, and Mary might have taken too much of it for herself, but it's dang catchy.
* [[
** Amy Adams singing and dancing alone in a diner, surrounded by a border of LEDs? The part where she made bread can-can looked pretty crazy as well.
*** So Amy Adams does her ''[[Fridge Brilliance|own puppetting!]]''
Line 61:
** "Man or Muppet". ''It won an Oscar''.
** Both versions of "Life's A Happy Song", especially the {{spoiler|[[Triumphant Reprise]] led by the Muppets themselves}}. {{spoiler|The [[Crowd Song|entire crowd joins in too]], which is [[Fridge Brilliance|definitely what would happen in real life if the Muppets suddenly broke into song after being cheered on by their fans]]!}}
** "Let's Talk About Me". The [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] [[Big Bad]] breaks into rap [[
* [[Ear Worm]]: ''Life's a happy song, when there's someone by your side to sing along''.
** The {{spoiler|ending reprise}} especially!
Line 90:
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Political?]]: Many people on [[Fox News|more conservative news shows]] were upset that the villain was a CEO who wanted to drill for oil, saying that the Muppets were promoting class warfare for children. They [[Did Not Do the Research]], since it later becomes clear that Tex Richman is evil not because he is a CEO, rich, or wants oil, but ''because he is unable to laugh'' and laughter, aka the third greatest gift ever, is necessary for happiness. ...though, anything concerning his back story was cut, which does not help any!
** As well as the fact that any five-year-old would know he's a caricature just by the name and [[Large Ham]] tendencies.
** To say nothing of the fact that Kermit is himself a CEO of The Muppets as an incorporated
*** In fact, paying more attention reveals that Gonzo was rich in the movie, but his disruptive behavior prevented him from buying out the
* [[Win Back the Crowd]]: Both in-universe ''and'' in real life. It helps that the [[Muppets from Space|last film before this one]] came out over a decade before this one.
* [[The Woobie]]: Walter and Kermit, big time.
* [[You Bastard]]: It's pretty hard not to feel guilty while watching this movie if your interest in the Muppets has waned since your childhood.
