** ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'': A sketch from "Born Again Virgin Christmas Special" involves Emmet invite Frankie Fox as the newest member of the jug band.

* {{Bowdlerize}}: The scene where Ma is shafted by Gretchen Fox originally ended with her saying "I'd really appreciate it... If you'd fall of the dock." after Gretchen was out of earshot. The initial DVD releases and most airings edit out the last part, although it was eventually restored on the 40th Anniverasary DVD release.

* DigitalDestruction: The version of the special that airs on Freeform as well as what was released on DVD in 2017 as the 40th anniversary edition mats the special to 16:9 (widescreen) despite it being filmed in 4:3 (full screen), as well as introduced film effects to make the special look "timeless"- yeah, someone at ABC Family actually thought this trope would increase the special's appeal. The DVD version lacks the film effects however, although it's still 16:9 and at 30fps due to conversion to progressive scan.
* EditedForSyndication: The scene where Emmet and Alice go sliding was cut from the original ABC Family/Freeform airings. Later showings as well as the 40th Anniversary DVD have reinstated it.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The only way to see the Kermit version since Disney bought the Muppets. At least until 2017, when a deal was finally worked out so Sony could release it on video; however Kermit's voice over narration was (still) edited out.
