Recap / The Muppets S 1 E 4 Pig Out

Go To

Airdate: October 13th, 2015

Piggy finds out that the other Muppets (minus Kermit and Fozzie) go to Rowlf's Tavern after the show every night and tricks Kermit into making the others invite her. Meanwhile, Fozzie accidentally shoots Statler with a t-shirt cannon.

This episode contains examples of:

  • Amusing Injuries: Fozzie shooting Statler with the t-shirt cannon.
  • Batman Gambit: Kermit and Piggy do this to each other - first Piggy is able to get invited to the gang's hang-out by taking advantage of Kermit's inability to refuse her requests, and Kermit later deliberately inflates her ego so he can get the show back on track.
  • Berserk Button: No matter how much you hate his comic routines, do not scam Fozzie.
    Fozzie: Every forest ranger will tell you the same thing. Most bear attacks do not happen because of hunger! They happen because some bear got his feelings hurt!
  • Big "NO!": Fozzie's reaction to finding out that Statler tricked him into wasting lots of money and time on him.
  • Copycat Mockery: Kermit says "It's time to work", which a hungover Swedish Chef mockingly repeats, then plays innocent when Kermit angrily asks who said that.
  • False Teeth Tomfoolery: When Statler gets shot in the head by Fozzie's T-shirt gun, his false teeth fall out. Pepe proceeds to find them and take the opportunity to goof off by putting them in his mouth.
    Pepe: Look at me! I am the Bradley Coopers!
  • Interspecies Romance: Sam the Eagle falls for humanoid Muppet Janice.
  • Karma Houdini: Statler gets off scott-free with tricking Fozzie into wasting lots of time and money on him.
  • Noodle Incident: Why, exactly, were Bunsen and Beaker wearing each others' clothes the morning after the party at Rowlf's?
    Bunsen: If it happens outside of work, we don't owe an explanation.
  • Sexy Shirt Switch: Happens between Bunsen and Beaker of all people.
  • Sleeping Dummy: Statler uses one to mess with Fozzie.
