* CynicIdealistDuo: Kermit and Gonzo's performance of "Sentimental Journey" reflects this, as the former interjects with complaints about having to take a handcar back to the station, while the latter is looking on the bright side of things.
Added DiffLines:
* HopeSpot:
** During the second handcar scene, fresh off evading one train, Kermit muses a light means they're almost back at the station. Gonzo says it's another oncoming train, forcing them to speed away back in the direction they came. A later phone call with Scooter indicates they ended up getting hit by that train.
** A performance of "The Rhyming Song" is one for Statler. Since it was considered so desperate to do that song in the first place, he hopes it means the performers will just run away rather than continue the show. However, the show goes on for one more number.
* {{Irony}}:
** Miss Piggy singing "All Alone" is ruined by a large crowd constantly walking back-and-forth to try to find the right train.
** Waldorf observes the train station is somehow cleaner than the theater. Statler also finds sitting on luggage more comfortable than the theater seats.
