  • Elevator Failure: Piggy is briefly trapped when the elevator malfunctions.
  • Freudian Slip: At one point, Scooter slips and refers to Kermit as his father in a cutaway, before catching himself and changing it to "mentor".
  • Furry Reminder: Rowlf reveals that he still likes to chew on shoes when he needs to unwind.
  • I Meant to Do That: The Muppets get around the power outage by telling the audience that the lights are out to promote power conservation.
  • Karma Houdini: Jason Bateman gets no comeuppance for getting Kermit kicked out of the yoga retreat.
  • Literal-Minded: According to Scooter, the oldest phrase in Hollywood is not "The Show Must Go On". It's "This is where we build Hollywood". Gonzo tries and fails to explain to him what "the oldest phrase" really means.
  • Noodle Incident: Gonzo lets out a few snippets about the time he tried blast himself over Niagara Falls. All that's really clear is that it didn't work at all.
