5	!!This episode contains examples of:
6	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: This exchange...
7	-->'''Lucy:''' Bottom line, Kermit, tell your star to tuck in her tail.\
8	'''Kermit:''' But, Lucy, I can't tell Piggy what to do with her body.\
9	'''Lucy:''' Oh, sure you can. And if you don't and sponsors pull out, that money's coming out of your budget, which will cost you production dollars, jobs, and, most importantly... it will cost you muffins.
10	* EngineeredHashtag[[invoked]]: Piggy launches [="#UnveilTheTail"=] in to end the prejudices against pig tails.
11	* ExactWords: In the end, Kermit informs comes on to the show to inform everyone that the network won't allow Piggy to show her pig tail on the air...but they said ''nothing'' about ''him'' doing it! He then turns around to reveal he's wearing a fake pig tail, and so is everyone else.
12	* FurryReminder: The entire episode focuses on Piggy coming to grips with the fact that she is indeed a pig.
13	* IAmSpartacus: Piggy plans to show her tail during her show, but the sponsors threaten to drop out if she does. Kermit's solution is to have everyone else wear fake pig tails to show solidarity with Piggy.
14	* MyInstinctsAreShowing: As Piggy tries to shoo away reporters the day after her wardrobe malfunction, she accidentally lets out a snort, much to her embarrassment. Uncle Deadly tries to comfort her by saying that at least it wasn’t an “oink”.
15	* OurNudityIsDifferent: Pigs (and ''only'' pigs - Piggy specifically notes that nobody cares about Yolanda's tail) exposing their tails.
16	* PrecisionFStrike: One of the few swearing moments in the Muppets is featured here as Piggy and the rest of the gang join Music/JoanJett in singing “Bad Reputation”, which frequently uses the word, “damn”.
17	* TakeAThirdOption: Discussed by Fozzie when he suggests one for Piggy's dilemma. Kermit points out that Fozzie should have stated what the third option was.
18	* TakeThat: The One Million Moms that protested against the show get a parody in this episode. There's only three of them; they like to round up.
19	* VisualPun: The day after Piggy's WardrobeMalfunction on the Red Carpet, Yolanda warns Kermit that Sam the Eagle, who's in charge of standards and practices, is waiting for him, and he has "steam coming out of his ears." Cut to a very angry Sam with what appears to be actual steam coming out of his ears, but turns out he's standing behind Kermit's humidifier.
