History Recap / TheMuppetsMayhemS1E5Track5BreakOnThrough

* GRatedDrug: The bag of expired marshmallows is enough to get Nora and the band sans Zoot (who doesn't eat sugar) to experience hallucinations of such grand proportions, you'd think they ate a whole tray of pot brownies each.

* RunningGag: Zoot taking a picture of his bandmates and saying "You two make a great couple".

* RealAfterAll: Zoot captured photographic evidence of all the bizarre things the band members saw. Nora's falconer adventure seems to be the only one that was entirely imaginary.

** As discussed in previous episodes, Janice's need to help other people with their problems is to avoid having to look inward and deal with her own, but it also makes her too focused on said problems to write music. Her clones in her hallucinations encourage her to love herself as much as she loves others around her

** Dr. Teeth has [[CommitmentIssues issues with commitment]], something strongly hinted in the next episode to stem from a fear of being forever trapped in a life he doesn't enjoy like when he almost resigned himself to being a dentist at his parent's wishes. This not only makes it impossible for him to stick to a melody or song riff during a jam session, but previously cost him his romance with Penny. A hallucination of Penny responds that she never wanted or expected him to see their romance as something he had to stick with forever- she just wanted him to be able to commit to it or something else in his life for once. He later decides to fully commit to their romance at last by loudly proclaiming his love for her during a song meeting and declaring that he wishes to share it with the world. This not only fully rekindles his and Penny's romance, but gets her to basically cancel any and all due dates for the band's album.

* ElongatingArmGag: In classic Muppet fashion, Dr. Teeth's arms start stretching when Moog tries to help him stand up.

* BerserkButton: When Floyd snarks at Weird Al over only writing parody songs, Weird Al actually notes pretty quickly that despite his reputation for seemingly never writing original material, he actually has over 80 original songs on soundtracks of his.

** Floyd has a perfectionist streak that makes him shoot down any suggestions for their song as "not good enough", which he admits to Weird Al is out of a desire to not let everyone down. Weird Al encourages him to not keep worrying about what everyone thinks and just focus on writing songs that make him and the group happy. He later starts up the writing process for "Gonna Get There" in the van.

* WayPastTheExpirationDate: The band hallucinates as a result of eating marshmallows that expired over 30 years ago.

* SpockSpeak: Animal's baby-self speaks this way, which contrasts with Animal's usual HulkSpeak.

* ShoutOut: Music/WeirdAlYankovic appears to Floyd as a cloud in the sky like Mufasa appearing to Simba in ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994''. They both lampshade the reference.

* MesACrowd: Janice's hallucination sees her meeting a crowd of copies of herself who tell her she needs to love herself.

* DeclarationOfProtection: Animal's hallucination sees him holding his baby-self who tells him that he's drawn to Nora because he can tell they were both abandoned at a young age. He wants to protect her from being hurt again.

* MythologyGag: The Swinetrek from [[Series/TheMuppetShow "Pigs In Space"]] can be seen flying around during Lips' hallucination.

In order to deal with the issue of writer's block, Nora, Moog, and the band go on an rustic camping trip. However, a bag of expired marshmallows leads them on a night of hallucinations and self-discovery.
