** Also during this song we get [[TheStoner Willie Nelson]] singing "Life is full of Highs" and a couple of other people singing that "Life is a fille'''t''' of fish" to which Walter and Gary can only reply with... "Yes, yes it is".
** The second performance has Tex Richman loudly remind everyone that they sang it already. Nobody seems to care.
* After you watch the telethon, you realize that it's very much exactly like how a regular episode of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' would play out, save maybe for Jack Black being tied to a chair and doing nothing but complaining, and the money counter hanging throughout! It takes up nearly the same amount of time as a regular episode in the course of the film too, even though in-universe, it takes up two hours!
** Even funnier when you realize that Creator/JackBlack isn't the first guest star to be [[Creator/JohnCleese tied to a chair.]]
-->'''Jack Black:''' I'm being held captive by these weirdos!\\
'''[[JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf Statler]]:''' Now you know how we've felt for the past forty years!
* "Maniacal laugh!"
** "MANIACAL LAUGH!"
* At the end, Gary finally proposes to Mary and she replies:
--->"Manamana"
** Doo doo doo doo doo
** Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.
** Also a StealthPun, if you listen closely.
* When Gary, Mary, and Walter start looking for Kermit:
-->'''Mary:''' How do we find Kermit? Nobody's seen him in years.\\
''(the gang passes a man selling Hot Star Maps in front of Pink's Hot Dogs)''\\
'''Walter:''' ''(gasps)'' Wait, stop the car! I have an idea.\\
''(cut to the trio eating some chili dogs)''\\
'''Gary:''' These are delicious! Great idea, Walter.
** According to the commentary, this was the first scene written.
* When '80s Robot uses his dial-up modem to locate the other Muppets, [[HellIsThatNoise we get the traditional loud beeping and static]], making Kermit, Walter, Gary, and Mary react and cover their ears, with this line from Gary:
--> "Oh, stop it! In the name of all that's sacred, let it end!"
* Every second Emily Blunt, parodying her turn in ''Literature/TheDevilWearsPrada'', appears on screen.
* Animal's therapy session, which thanks to the Muppets showing up turns into an all-out brawl thanks to some unfortunate trigger words.
* The outtakes of Zach Galifinakis ad-libbing with the homeless Muppets. "New hobo, eh?"
** Miss Piggy getting hair in her face mid line and trying to blow it away.
** During a take with Walter, Gary and Mary in the car, Walter accidentally gets his hand stuck in the car seat.
** Dr. Strangepork accidentally brushes against Kermit.
-->'''Kermit''': I just got a pig ear in my mouth.
** Walter pounding on Kermit's door and sobbing dramatically.
** Uncle Deadly falling over in Richman's office.
** After Mary says, "It's time to meet the Muppets", an offscreen voice casually mentions that Walter is on fire. Walter immediately exclaims "Ah! I'm burning!"
** Fozzie's rubber chickens are named Fran and [[Creator/LouiseGold Louise]].
** Steve Whitmire flubbing a line and accidentally calling Eighties Robot "Raidies Robot".
** Scooter kissing Kermit on the cheek is sweet and funny.
