This episode has examples of
- Chicken Joke: In the Swedish Chef sketch, the literal spring chickens the Chef is planning to cook escape backstage, with him chasing after them. Immediately after, Fozzie goes up to a stressed Kermit and starts to ask, "Why did the chickens cross the road?" Kermit answers, "Because an angry Swede was chasing them with a cleaver!" and leaves to go introduce the final number. Fozzie remarks to himself that that's not the punchline, before realising that Kermit's is better.
- Oh, Crap!: This time the Newsman gets a little warning before something gets dropped on him; after reporting on the falling price of beef, he hears mooing from above, just enough time for him to go, "Oh, no!"
