This episode has examples of

  • Anthropomorphic Food:
    Banana: Hey, which way to my dressing room? And don't try to shove me into the refrigerator.
  • Never Smile at a Crocodile: One of the songs, with a crocodile eating frogs.
  • Noodle Incident: The Banana Sketch. We never see it, nor does Kermit, but apparently it's so funny that even Fozzie can get 'em rolling in the aisles.
  • Pie in the Face: The "Inner Beauty" sketch ends with a monster throwing a pie in Sandy's face after she tries the "outer ugliness/inner beauty" speech on him.
  • Who Writes This Crap?!: After an interview with Mrs. Billie Lee Bonkers (played by Sandy Duncan), who's trying to break the world record for the most jumps in a row (motivating herself by standing on a hot plate), the Newsman calls someone to ask, "Where do we get these nuts?"

Statler: Well, how'd you like the show?
Waldorf: Well, maybe I'm getting soft, but I loved it. Have a banana!
