*** But Lew Zealand remembered the paper towels!

to:

*** But * Building on the above, the Muppets actually attempting to break into the Mallory Gallery's front gate takes UnspokenPlanGuarantee and NoodleImplements to their logical--and hilarious--conclusion.
-->'''Kermit''': Rowlf, hand me the blowtorch!
-->'''Rowlf''': ...blowtorch? [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome Who said anything about a blowtorch?]]
-->'''Lew Zealand''': I GOT SOME PAPER TOWELS!
** Lew's line becomes a BrickJoke when the Muppets later have to lower themselves into the Baseball Diamond's showroom from the roof. Kermit remarks that they'll need to make a ladder, and
Lew Zealand remembered excitedly brings back the paper towels!towels to help.


Added DiffLines:

* When Piggy is stranded across town and has no way to foil the robbery at the Mallory Gallery, she wonders aloud what she can do...and at that ''precise'' moment, a moving van drives by, and a motorcycle (complete with a riding outfit exactly Piggy's size) [[ContrivedCoincidence just so happens]] to fall out the back. It's Piggy's LampshadeHanging--naturally delivered directly to the camera--that truly makes the joke: "What an ''unbelievable'' coincidence!"

* Creator/PeterFalk's cameo, wherein he lampoons himself as ''Columbo'', telling Kermit that he can tell his whole story [[SherlockScan just by looking at him]]. Kermit humors him, and Falk lays out a story that couldn't be further from the events of the movie, even going as far as to name Kermit's faux-brother-in-law "Bernie." Kermit's reaction is pure deadpan goodness. "You know, it's amazing, you are 100% ''wrong''. I mean nothing you've said has been right." Falk's response is "Really?" then begins to launch into another guess -- unfortunately, we never get to hear it.

This film is widely regarded to be one of, if not the funniest Muppet movie, and given the large amount of hilarious moments featured in it, it's not hard to see why.
