The Muppets/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** 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]].

Stays at the "me party" }}

* [[Actor Allusion]]: Jason Segal has been dating a [[Heroes Want Redheads|redheaded]] [[Hot for Teacher|elementary school teacher]] for a decade. [[How I Met Your Mother|Sound familiar?]]

* [[Critical Dissonance]]: One of the most frustrating examples. ''The Muppets'' was one of the best-reviewed movies of 2011 and most who saw it did in fact praise the film. Unfortunately, most general audiences seemed to think ''[[Breaking Dawn]]'' and ''[[Alvin and The Chipmunks|Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked]]'' looked like the superior movies and saved their money for those, leading to a solid but not certainly great box office total.

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [[Flight of the Conchords|Bret McKenzie]] wrote the new musical numbers for the film. They're a ton of fun and even include some very ''Conchords''-esque lyrics.

''Then I'm a very manly muppet.'' }}

** {{spoiler|[[Nirvana|"Smells Like Teen Spirit"]] as a '''barbershop quartet.'''}}

* [[Like You Would Really Do It]]: {{spoiler|[[Double Subverted]]. The Hail Mary telethon fails, the magic fix at the end falls through, and Kermit's ready to start the group again from the ground up, with whatever fans they have left, no studio and no Muppet name. If it wasn't for the fact that the fandom came in droves, and Gonzo's bowling ball makes a rather persuasive argument towards Tex Richman giving up his claim on The Muppet Show studio, this would have easily been a very subverted trope.}}

* [[Narm Charm]]: The Swedish Chef's gibberish during the movie's more sentimental moments, like "Pictures In My Head" and {{spoiler|after the telethon ends and the Muppets failed to raise the $10,000,000.}}

** "Gary, I like you, but you have to decide: Are you a man, or a Muppet?"

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Bunsen and Beaker were working on the [[wikipedia:Large Hadron Collider|Large Hadron Collider]].

* [[Spoiled by the Format]]: Lampshaded about half an hour in.

* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: Walter gets more focus than any other character, even Kermit (it's debatable whether Gary and Mary get more focus than the main Muppets as well). Thankfully, the guy turned out to be [[Ensemble Darkhorse|an immensely popular and likeable character]], preventing him from becoming the [[Creator's Pet]] he could have easily become.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: [[The Muppets/Tear Jerker|There are a few moments]].
