Funny / The Muppets' Wizard of Oz

• Aunt Em and Uncle Henry's reasoning for not wanting Dorothy to go to Hollywood
  Aunt Em: Hollywood is full of crime, flash fires, earthquakes...
  Uncle Henry: Paparazzi, (Imitates a camera shutter)
• The casting of Pepe the prawn as Toto.
• "What do these buttons do?"
  • "Nothing, they're my nipples.". Pepe's reaction seals it.
    "I FEEL DIRTY!"
    • What a weirdo.
• The Scarecrow greeting the Wizard.
  "Hello there, Mr. Oz. By any chance are you related to Frank Oz?"
• The wizard ends up taking a different form for each of the characters as a means of intimidating them. A dragon for Lion, a sentient ball of fire for Scarecrow, and for Tin Thing? A seductive woman. However, when Tin Thing points out that he is engaged to a chicken, the wizard promptly turns into one, causing Gonzo to steam up.
• After each member of the group asks the wizard their wish, the wizard promptly drops them down a Trap Door. When he does it to Dorothy, however, it ends up opening in front of her instead of under her. The wizard's reaction sells it.
  Wizard: Ooh... uh... This is embarrassing. Would you mind... jumping?
  Dorothy: Down there?
  Wizard: Yeah. If you don't mind?
• This exchange between Miss Piggy (as the Wicked Witch of the West) and Rizzo (as the Mayor of the Munchkins):
  Miss Piggy: You know, you're a pest.
  Rizzo: I, uh, Munchkin, actually.
  Miss Piggy: And you know what I do to pests?
  Rizzo: Oh — well, you w-welcome us as part of an unconventional multi-species family?!
  Miss Piggy: I kill pests! Until they're dead!'
• Quentin Tarantino's Cutaway Gag cameo. His ideas for the Dorothy/Witch fight are either too violent or too expensive. He settles for Dorothy kicking the Witch in the face.
  • "Now that, we can afford!"
  • The fact that the film is apparently all an idea Quentin Tarantino is trying to pitch to Kermit, makes the brief scene where Ashanti removes her shoes, and goes barefoot, amusing in hindsight.
• Why did the people of Oz take the Wizard for a wizard? He can do the detachable thumb trick. Which still awes Dorothy's companions.
