This episode has examples of
- Characterisation Click Moment: Frank Oz has said that it took him a while to get comfortable with Fozzie, and cites the sketch where he keeps giving Kermit the wrong cues for his "neck-a-tie" joke as the moment when he finally figured out how to make him work.
- Lame Pun Reaction: While interviewing Animal, Kermit asks him if he likes his drums more than food.Animal: They are food! Eat drums, eat cymbals!
Kermit: How cymbalic.
Animal: Bad pun! - Literal-Minded: At the beginning of the show, when Kermit says he'd like to open it with a high note, a trumpeter plays his instrument in Kermit's ear.
- Running Gagged: Statler and Waldorf preemptively stop Crazy Harry from detonating his dynamite.Statler: Well, that's better than opening it with a bang.
Crazy Harry: Did somebody say "Bang"?
Statler and Waldorf: NO! [Waldorf karate-chops Harry in the face.]
Crazy Harry: Well, you can't win 'em all. - Token Human: Harvey complains that he feels awkward being the only human on the show. Kermit's solution is to stick him in a chicken suit.
- Who's on First?: Fozzie puts a reluctant Kermit on his comedy routine, saying the line "Good grief, the comedian's a bear!" when Fozzie says "hear". Unfortunately, Kermit mistakenly says the line whenever Fozzie says "here".Fozzie: Hey, hey, folks. This is a story you're gonna love to hear.
Kermit: GOOD GRIEF, THE COMEDIAN'S A BEAR!
Fozzie: Would you stop that?!
Kermit: But you said "hear"!
Fozzie: Not that "hear"!
Kermit: Well, which "hear"?!
Fozzie: ANOTHER "HEAR"!
Kermit: HOW AM I GONNA KNOW?!
Fozzie: YOU'LL KNOW WHEN YOU HEAR!
Kermit: GOOD GRIEF, THE COMEDIAN'S A BEAR!
- Waldorf: Well, the show tonight certainly didn't lay an egg.
[A chicken appears.]
Statler: Wanna bet?
