* PreferJailToTheProtagonist: Fozzie, as Patrol Bear, arrests Beaker for making funny noises in public, but more and more Beakers keep showing up. He and Link (the Police Chief) make a run for it and hide in the jail cell.

* PreferJailToTheProtagonist: StealthInsult: Davis gives Link Hogthrob several of these, saying that he's good at laying it on, agreeing when Link tells him that "good is not the word" when Davis says that he must be pretty good in the Bear on Patrol sketch, and dedicating him the song "It's Hard to Be Humble", which is essentially an ode to narcissism.
