* HumanKnot: In one sketch, Peter Sellers gives Link Hogthrob a rough massage that ends with Link's arms and legs getting tied together, with Sellers even getting his ''own'' arm temporarily stuck in the knot. Sellers then exits, leaving Link calling for someone to free him, with Kermit and Fozzie noting that they don't think the sketch was supposed to end that way. Once Link manages to free himself enough to get backstage, though, it turns out that he still enjoyed the massage.

* LostInCharacter: Kermit finds Sellers trying out several different costume pieces and tells him he can just be himself backstage, to which he says "There used to be a me, but I had it surgically removed." This scene is now viewed as an iconic summation of Sellers' true view of himself, able to play such an astoundingly diverse array of characters because he had no true self of his own.
