19	!![[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Miscellaneous Muppet Moments]]:
20	* ''Series/MuppetsTonight'' has had its share of tender moments during its run;
21	** In the Paula Abdul episode, Robot Lincoln is on the rampage, but Paula decides nothing's going to stop her from doing the closing number. So she sings "Lean On Me", which the other Muppets join in on, followed by Robot Lincoln himself. Sam the Eagle then delivers this coda:
22	-->'''Sam:''' Tonight, I believe we have learned an important lesson about heroism. Heroes cannot be built; they must be born. They cannot be made; they must be shaped, by adversity, like our fabulous guest star, Miss Paula Abdul, who took a disaster, and turned it into a rather nice closing number, don't you think?
23	* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-3CFm1VZYM "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;
24	-->'''Piggy:''' Kermit, how do you cope with all these Animals!?
25	-->'''Kermit:''' Just be more tea!
26	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqhTT7EQWuc This clip]] from the 1987 Television Academy Hall of Fame, in which the Muppets - four groups of them - literally sing the praises of Jim Henson, who was going to be inducted that year.
27	* Jim's memorial service - or at least the parts that weren't {{Tear Jerker}}s.
28	** Similarly, the memorial song "[[https://youtu.be/Na-xvlYMGck A Boy and His Frog]]" by Music/TomSmith is from the perspective of Kermit, who's feeling lost after the death of his creator.
29	--->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."
30	* After Henson's death, Disney artists Joe Lanzisero and Tim Kirk drew [[https://www.historybyzim.com/2013/03/mickey-consoling-kermit-1990/ an illustration]] of Mickey Mouse consoling Kermit.
31	* Each and every time the Muppets sing "Just One Person". Just hearing that number is enough to give yourself butterflies in the stomach.
32	* Any of the 2015 Disney Junior "Muppet Moments" interstitials. [[https://youtu.be/e2WLAkVs08A You can't say no to little kids hugging the Muppets.]] You just can't.
33	* In ''Film/AMuppetsChristmasLettersToSanta'', Gonzo forgets to drop off his friend Claire's letter to Santa Claus, along with a few other letters. He makes it his personal mission to make sure the letters reach Santa, even going to the North Pole to do it.
34	* [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6fpWtPBNHb4 Rowlf talking about his buddy, Jim Henson, in a BBC interview spot.]]
35	* It’s a little thing, [[https://youtu.be/0KvK1NED4ak but seeing everyone cheer for the Muppet performers as themselves, after their truly epic “Muppets Take the O2” live show, is rather heartwarming.]]
36	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJD4eLytkUY Hey, Listen. You know what the frog and the dog have in common? I think it's that guy up there]]
37	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlxoWD1ZiKQ For Lunar New Year, Animal finally gets to hug the bunnies.]]
38	* At [[https://youtu.be/TMDHXeldREE?si=GXH32sbu5c6iql8K Studio DC in 2008]], a jealous Miss Piggy distracts Kermit from his cue to enter for a duet with Music/DemiLovato, so Scooter sends out Beaker in his place. Despite it being last-minute and his anxieties, Beaker begins to absolutely ''belt'' out "[[Film/CampRock This is Me]]" in perfect harmony with Demi, which earns him a kiss on the cheek from the starlet.
39	* After a brief cameo in ''Film/TheMuppetChristmasCarol'', the Electric Mayhem's trumpet player, Lips, was quietly retired, as his performer, Steve Whitmire, was occupied taking on Kermit, Beaker, and [[Series/SesameStreet Ernie]] after the deaths of Jim Henson and Richard Hunt, and in general, he wasn't a very notable character. Seventeen years later, during the Electric Mayhem's appearance at the Rockefeller Center for their annual Christmas show, Lips finally made his way back into the spotlight, albeit rather slack-jawed due to his puppet's age. Soon enough, he was remodeled and began receiving voiced lines in bother television series and live shows, particularly after Peter Linz took the role in 2017 and gave him his incoherent, but wise personality. No matter how long a Muppet goes dormant, they always have the capacity to make a big comeback.
