* A ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' sketch based on ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984'' features the Muppet Babies playing ''King Kong'', with Kermit in the role of the titular ape. Gonzo and the other babies shoot Kermit down, and in reality, Kermit is revealed to have died from falling off their "Empire State Building" made from a pile of chairs. Nanny then comes in and tells the babies to clean up the "crime scene".
