* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Animal was chasing a female security guard to distract her from the other Muppets. The next scene shows him being chased by her... [[SexyDiscretionShot with her hair down and begging him to come back.]]
* Bunsen and Beaker, after being accidentally left behind at a gas station during Gonzo's rescue mission, arrive at Cape Doom with help from a van full of hippies. Judging from the fact that Bunsen was last seen carrying several bags of snacks, it's ''fairly obvious'' for people familiar with narcotics why the hippies gave them a ride in the first place.

** According to '''Boom! Kids''' ''ComicBook/TheMuppetShowComicBook''. This is likely not so much because of the quality of the movie though, more just for [[DontExplainTheJoke actually resolving]] what Gonzo is (and the fact it's a Muppet movie Disney doesn't own).

** Earlier in that film, you can see a DVD copy of the film in Walter's house, so it's possible that in the universe of that film [[RecursiveReality this was also a film]].


Added DiffLines:

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The Muppets appear to live in the town of "[[MythologyGag Hensonville]]" (as evidenced by the newspaper Kermit's seen reading, the "Hensonville News Observer"), but a definitive location isn't given. When Singer points out the pattern of "R U THERE" messages early on, he notes it forms into a spiral pattern; the spiral seems to end somewhere in UsefulNotes/NorthCarolina (which is likely because the film was shot in Wilmington NC, making it a case of CreatorProvincialism)
