[[WMG: Waldorf and Statler are a gay couple]]
The only time we see Waldorf's wife, it's the Statler muppet in drag, and Waldorf outright says that Statler still has the dress he wore to sneak onto a lifeboat during the Titanic's sinking. The two are actually in love with each other, but the times being what they were they couldn't get married, so Statler put on the old dress and pretended to be his twin sister.

* Pretty much confirmed by WordOfGod. The Muppets are actors who play themselves (or sometimes other characters) in the movies. When they do interviews or appear on chat-shows and are asked about events of the movies, they always explain that the movies aren't ''real'', they're just movies. (This happened a ''lot'' when they to promoted ''Film/TheMuppets''; they'd always be explaining that no, they hadn't actually broken up and gone their separate ways, and by the way, Walter wasn't really Creator/JasonSegel's brother.)

[[WMG: Fozzie Bear is half Jewish]]
As his entry on the AmbiguouslyJewish trope page points out, his comedy style evokes the classic Borscht Belt comedians, and he once pulled a ''rabbi'' instead of a ''rabbit'' out of his hat during a magic act. Yet he and his mom [[Film/AMuppetFamilyChristmas celebrate Christmas]]. Most likely explanation? His DisappearedDad was Jewish, while Emily Bear isn't. As it happens, this is Creator/FrankOz's real-life background: Jewish father, Catholic mother.

*Not to mention how the opening and closing themes have parts specifically for them- particularly in season 5, when they get ''their own verse''.
