Tear Jerker / Muppets Most Wanted

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • The song "Something So Right." For the most part, it's played straight.
    • Before the song starts, the Muppets ask Kermit (alias Constantine) what will happen to the world tour and to them after he and Piggy are married, he tells them they now have all the freedom they want, and that he's done with the Muppets. It's at that moment they start to feel that they won't be able to carry on without Kermit.
    Scooter: What are we gonna do without Kermit?
    Floyd: Only thing we can do. Pack up, go to the wedding... and head back home.
  • There's the moment Constantine proposes to Piggy, and how ecstatic she is; instantly followed by him completely ignoring her so he can manipulate his audience. All her joy hits a speed bump and she doesn't seem to know how to recover from it. This may be Piggy at her most vulnerable, and Constantine is in a unique position to do some very real emotional damage.
  • Kermit believing that the gang forgot about him while he's trapped in the Gulag. Here we have Kermit the freakin' Frog, one of the most recognizable of Jim Henson's creations, a symbol of laughter and other happy childhood memories, almost lose hope. It's a good thing they all make it clear that they appreciate him at the end.
  • Kermit being arrested and taken to the Gulag. It's really hard not to shed tears at the desperation in his voice.
