!!Hey Portal, call the tropes!

* TheBusCameBack: Among the characters featured in the commercials are Fozzie's mother Ma Bear and Miss Piggy's nephews Andy and Randy, Muppets who haven't appeared in thirty years.
* {{Caustic Critic}}s: Statler and Waldorf appear in rank and file. On add has Statler telling Robin a story with the Portal's AR function.
-->'''Robin:''' I can't wait to see how it ends!\\
'''Waldorf:''' ''(entering)'' What a coincidence! I can't wait for it to end, too!\\
'''Statler & Waldorf''': Doh-ho-ho-ho-hoh!
* CoolMask: AR Masks, specifically. Miss Piggy uses a wolf one to [[OhCrap scare her nephews into screaming]].
* DarkReprise: The first ad of the campaign has Rowlf, Piggy, and Gonzo singing the opening lines of ''Series/TheMuppetShow''[='=]s theme, all of them lonely during the holiday season. [[MoodWhiplash Then Kermit's gift Portals show up.]]
* DoesThisMakeMeLookFat: Also in the first ad, Gonzo calls Kermit to ask one of these.
-->'''Gonzo:''' Does this fruit hat make my nose look big?\\
'''Kermit:''' Yes, it does!\\
'''Gonzo:''' Sweet!
* HomemadeSweaterFromHell: Gonzo gets Kermit one of these, to Kermit's dismay.
-->'''Kermit:''' It's a really great, ugly sweater.\\
'''Gonzo:''' Yeah! [[DoubleTake Wait, what kind of sweater?]]\\
'''Kermit:''' [[VerbalBackspace I... said]] it's a really great sweater.
* LethalChef: Beaker might be one of these. One ad has the Swedish Chef start a call so that he can give Beaker a recipe. It's unclear if the Chef's [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign accent]] is at fault, but when Beaker finally understands an instruction to add pepper, just doing so [[EpicFail causes his pot to boil over. Copiously.]] Another ad has Bunsen describing the Smart Camera interspersed with Beaker's microwave filling the kitchen with smoke.
* {{Narcissist}}: Miss Piggy, of course. She demonstrates the Portal's album feature while not making video calls by swiping through an album of photos of herself.
* OffscreenTeleportation: During a video call with the rest of the Electric Mayhem, Animal is goofing off by moving around his living room. At one point he tries to catch the camera by surprise by ducking behind his couch and then popping up from behind his coffee table.
* NoYouHangUpFirst: Gonzo and Camilla get into one of these.
-->'''Gonzo:''' It's getting late, Camilla, we should go.\\
'''Camilla:''' [[TheUnintelligible Bawk bawk bawk]].\\
'''Gonzo:''' No, you hang up.\\
'''Camilla:''' Bawk, ''bawk'' bawk bawk.
* ShortDistancePhoneCall: Bunsen uses one of these to demonstrate that the Portal's call function works for non-Portal devices; Fozzie is in the lab with him when he makes the call. [[TheDitz Fozzie then proceeds to tell Bunsen to hold on]] while he answers the phone and ''[[WhatAnIdiot tells Bunsen that he can't talk right now, he's in the middle of something]].''
