* CurseCutShort: Pa, who is wearing a dress while Ma's sewing it, tells Junior that he's already a prince and doesn't need to bother with the Kazoo.

* DontWakeTheSleeper: Junior struggles to retrieve the Kazoo from his parents' bedroom without waking them.

Junior sneaks into his parents' bedroom and manages to get the Kazoo, but it won't play. He puts it back so he won't be banished—but, remembering that he gave the Solemn Oath to play it, he wakes his parents and admits he tried to play the Kazoo and failed. Ma suggests that Pa teach him how to play. Pa reveals that his father never taught him how and that none of the Gorgs have tried to play the Kazoo, for fear of being banished. Pa and Ma suggest using the bellows to play the Kazoo. Junior, knowing that would be cheating, admits to Cantus that he doesn't know how to play the Kazoo. He tries anyway, without the bellows, while the Fraggle Five watch. To his amazement, it plays perfectly. Cantus explains that he was the first Gorg in memory to take a chance at playing the Kazoo, and that he succeeded because he kept his oath—which is the way of greatness.
