History Heartwarming / TheMuppets

** Piggy getting the jewelry box for Kermit to give to Denise. While that's heartwarming in itself, [[spoiler:it plays "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life", which had earlier been established as Kermit and Piggy's song]].

* Christina Applegate going along with Piggy's plan to have Scooter hit her in the face with a cake because she doesn't want him to get in trouble.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtJqxWOL5Jc Kermit and Miss Piggy duet]] ''[[Film/TheMuppetMovie Rainbow Connection]]''. The others eventually join in, [[spoiler:including Animal playing drums again for the first time in years]].

** Along the same scene, Floyd [[spoiler:giving Animal his old drumsticks back, saying that he'd been saving them for years and]] telling him "You know what to do." It's a very sweet nod to the two's long friendship.

* In a crazy sort of way, the revelation that Gonzo [[spoiler:had been secretly dreaming of a reunion, and had worn his stage outfit under his suit for years.]]

* [[spoiler: Uncle Deadly's]] HeelFaceTurn speech:
-->'''[[spoiler:Uncle Deadly]]''': Enough! Just because I have a terrifying name and [[EvilBrit an evil English accent]], does not preclude the fact that, in my heart, I am a Muppet, not a Moopet!
* During the post credits segment when, after Tex Richman gets hit by [[spoiler:Gonzo's stray bowling ball and Fozzie makes a typical Fozzie joke, which makes Tex to start to smile, and then... he finally laughs, resulting in him giving back the studios]].

* The scene where Kermit makes his uplifting speech - [[spoiler: 'We have each other and that's what makes us who we are, and we'll start over from the beginning if we have to.' As soon as Kermit opens the stage door, he's greeted by camera flashes and cheers. The shot pulls back to reveal Hollywood Boulevard is absolutely packed with screaming fans waving signs and cheering the Muppets.]]

* As hilarious as it is, Kermit [[spoiler:[[StatusQuoIsGod manipulating Piggy to break up with Josh Groban]]]] in episode 2 has a bit of heartwarming factor to it. [[spoiler:He doesn't play any cruel tricks, he simply relies on his knowledge of her - putting Groban's name above Piggy's on the backlot poster and merely revealing that Groban likes the idea.]]
* From the same episode, Bobo trying really hard to sell cookies to get his daughter a mountain bike. [[spoiler:He succeeds when Scooter convinces him to have them sold to the Electric Mayhem (given how they're always happy... [[TheStoner "legally now"]]).]]

* Fozzie visiting Statler in the hospital with some flowers, apologizing for the T-shirt incident in the ColdOpen. [[spoiler:While it turns out to be for naught]], it's very sweet to see that Fozzie was genuinely worried about Statler's well being. Keep in mind this is one half of JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf, who take every opportunity to heckle Fozzie during the shows.

* In "Walk The Swine", after her public embarrassment with Reese Witherspoon, instead of getting even with her, she invites to her show again to genuinely apologize to her. [[spoiler:Granted, said apology consists of a big, expensive musical number]], but it was nice for Piggy to swallow her pride and admit that she was wrong for once.

** At the end, [[spoiler:Kermit is revealed to have a swamp in his home. He proceeds to launch into a sweet, toned-down rendition of "Rainbow Connection". Even better is that he sings it all the way through the credits, pre-empting the typical OhCisco moment.]]

* Gonzo [[spoiler:going ahead with the cannon stunt]], and Kermit and Gonzo celebrating it.

** [[spoiler:Series/KeyAndPeele are forced to drop out due to some in-universe ExecutiveMeddling. To fill the void, Kermit asks Piggy to sing a song with him. And she agrees.]]

** When Piggy can't do her "[[ForcedMeme #UnveilTheTail]]" stunt on her show, [[spoiler:Kermit breaks this news to a disappointed audience.. but states that there's no rule in ''frogs'' showing off their pig tails before turning around and revealing that he has a fake pig tail on. Cue all the Muppets (and Music/JoanJett) showing off their fake pig tails.]]

--->No one can make me what you did. No one can walk in your shoes. No one can make me forget you - but that's not a path that I choose. I just can't let it be over. You wouldn't want it that way. So I'll stand up... and I'll face it. And though not quite in your voice, I'll say - "I will go on without you there to guide me. There's so much more I can give. Wherever I am, you'll be there beside me. As long as I keep you... you'll live."

* The [[http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wKkrcJ9HAUg "Be more Tea" Lipton commercial]] (the one that spawned [[https://38.media.tumblr.com/8d762210777eeb02dc2e33a999d7e5fb/tumblr_n7peb8lVeo1qfr9wro1_500.gif this]] [[MemeticMutation brilliant gif]] of Kermit drinking tea); Kermit, in a New York City full of Animals (Yes, really. hundreds of that angry, beastly Muppet), decides to "Be more tea" and spends the commercial doing good deeds, like helping an old man Animal cross the street and cheering up a [[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984 Baby Animal.]] At the end he has this exchange with Miss Piggy;

-->'''Kermit:''' Listen everybody. We've got nothing to be ashamed of - and you know why? Because, thanks to Walter here, we ''tried''. [[spoiler: And if we failed, we failed together and, to me, that's not failing at all.]] And I don't care what anybody says. I don't care if no one believes in us because... '''I''' believe. I believe in you... and you... and you. You know, what's important isn't this building or our name. It's each other. So I say fine - [[spoiler: let's just start at the bottom and work our way back up to the top.]] Let's all walk out through these doors with our heads held high! [[TrueCompanions As a family... because that's what we are.]]
** [[spoiler: Then afterwards when they walk outside and find a [[GroupieBrigade Fan Mob]] filling the entire length and breadth of the street waiting for them, cheering loudly and holding up signs... [[TearJerker *sniff*]]]]

* During the post credits segment when, after Tex Richman gets hit by [[spoiler:Gonzo's stray bowling ball and starts to smile, then... he finally laughs]].

* The [[http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wKkrcJ9HAUg "Be more Tea" Lipton commercial]] (the one that spawned [[https://38.media.tumblr.com/8d762210777eeb02dc2e33a999d7e5fb/tumblr_n7peb8lVeo1qfr9wro1_500.gif this]] [[MemeticMutation brilliant gif]] of Kermit drinking tea); Kermit, in a New York City full of Animals (Yes, really. hundreds of that angry, beastly Muppet), decides to "Be more tea" and spends the commercial doing good deeds, like helping an old man Animal cross the street and cheering up a [[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies Baby Animal.]] At the end he has this exchange with Miss Piggy;

* Seeing the Muppets themselves on the big screen again for the first time in over a decade, in a movie set on [[WinBackTheCrowd reminding the world why they're so beloved]]. It's like seeing old friends again.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtJqxWOL5Jc Kermit and Miss Piggy duet]] ''[[TheMuppetMovie Rainbow Connection]]''. The others eventually join in, [[spoiler:including Animal playing drums again for the first time in years]].

** The whole crew showing up to Deadly's community theater play.

*** The topper during this visit was Hornswoggle, [[http://www.tmz.com/2011/10/29/hornswoggle-wwe-muppets-tattoo-photo/ who is such a fanboy of the Muppets]] that he ''actually got a tattoo of them'' (Miss Piggy, Kermit, and Beaker) prior to his wrestling career, and added ''more'' (Gonzo, Fozzie, StatlerAndWaldorf) in honor of their visit to RAW.

** When Piggy can't do her "[[ForcedMeme #UnveilTheTail]]" stunt on her show, [[spoiler:Kermit breaks this news to a disappointed audience.. but states that there's no rule in ''frogs'' showing off their pig tails before turning around and revealing that he has a fake pig tail on. Cue all the Muppets (and Music/JoanJett) showing off their fake pig tails.]]

* After Piggy's wardrobe malfunction, a younger pig girl comes up to her backstage and wants to talk to her. Piggy initally brushes her off like she does to every other fan until she tells her she had a similar experience at school and seeing it happen to someone like Piggy inspired her and made her feel better about it. Piggy embraces her and decides to take a stand for all pigs and #UnveilTheTail.

* After Piggy's wardrobe malfunction, a younger pig girl comes up to her and shares a similar experience she had and tells Piggy that she can relate.

** Everything about [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter the penguin]] Piggy brought home from Argentina.

* Towards the end of "Swine Song", [[spoiler:Series/KeyAndPeele are forced to drop out due to some in-universe ExecutiveMeddling. To fill the void, Kermit asks Piggy to sing a song with him. And she agrees.]]

** Sam wanted Janice to kiss him under mistletoe, but got tripped up by Chip. However, at the bar afterwards, Janice said that it was sweet of him to be making a friend with Chip who isn't exactly well liked around the studio, and gives him a cheek kiss. Sam then gives a starstruck, "God bless Christmas."
