1	''Kermit Kombat'' is an animated webseries made by Rocky Pinnicle and released on {{Website/Newgrounds}}. While the [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/17342 first installment]] was a lone interactive Flash game with... dated graphics, the sequel instead became a movie with [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/53835 three]] [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/73108 separate]] [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/212116 parts]]. The series itself revolves around the author himself, Rocky, getting into a battle with [[Franchise/TheMuppets Kermit the Frog]] after [[ItMakesSenseInContext finding a picture of him kissing his girlfriend in his wallet]].

4	!!''Kermit Kombat'' provides examples of:
5
6	* AdaptationalJerkass: In ''[[Franchise/TheMuppets The Muppets]]'' franchise, Kermit the Frog is usually portrayed as a mild-mannered {{Nice Guy}} who often acts as the voice of reason. Here, he actively challenges Rocky in a fight to the death after being provoked, and is more prone to acting out in violence.
7	* ArtEvolution: The animation has significantly improved in Part II compared to the original.
8	* AuthorAvatar: Rocky Pinnicle.
9	* BackFromTheDead: Kermit, thanks to his fellow Muppets.
10	* BerserkButton: Kermit (unintentionally) eats Rocky's glasses while using his finisher move. ''Big mistake''.
11	** Bob REALLY hates squirrels (or [[InsistentTerminology "squirrelies"]]).
12	* BewareTheQuietOnes: In order to gain enough time to hack into Kermit's cybernetic mainframe, John asks the silent [[TheQuietOne Maci]] to distract the frog. And he does... ''[[MoreDakka with extreme prejudice]]''.
13	* BreakingTheFourthWall: In episode 3 of Part II, Dingus shows up with his crew to seek revenge against Rocky for breaking his neck, which he states happened earlier that day. One of his cronies tries correcting him, saying that it happened "two years ago" which is a reference to [[ScheduleSlip the time gap between episodes 2 and 3]]. This promptly earns him a {{Dope Slap}}.
14	* BribeBackfire: Kermit tries to bribe Rocky and ultimately fails.
15	* CriticalExistenceFailure: Kermit blows up into pieces due to Rocky's use of the all-powerful [[Franchise/DragonBall Kamehameha]].
16	* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Kermit versus the Dingus Crew.]]
17	* DisproportionateRetribution: Rocky fights and ultimately ''kills'' Kermit because he found a [[spoiler:fake]] photo of his girlfriend kissing the frog in his wallet.
18	* DodgeTheBullet: In the original game, Rocky performs this with BulletTime in the "Magic Finger" option.
19	* FinishHim: Kermit's sad attempt at this is using his elongated tongue against Rocky. He ends up eating Rocky's glasses.
20	* FlippingTheBird: Kermit's "Magic Finger" in the original game.
21	* FunnyAnimal: Bob, Rocky's pet cat.
22	* HarassingPhoneCall: Kermit tries to make a threatening call to Rocky, but he ends up with Bob on the line.
23	* InsistentTerminology: Bob always refers to squirrels as "stupid squirrelies".
24	* JerkAss: Dingus and his aptly-named "[[{{Mooks}} Dingus Crew]]".
25	* OffhandBackhand: Kermit responds as such after Elmo annoys him too much. Angered, Elmo tries retaliating by pulling out a gun (of course, with Rumble in the Morning's "Elmo's Got a Gun" playing in the background), but he immediately gets his [[YourHeadAsplode head blown off]] by Kermit's {{Arm Cannon}}s.
26	* OrphanedSeries: Episode 3 of ''Kermit Kombat II'' sets up a currently unresolved {{Cliffhanger}}, [[spoiler:with Rocky still training with [[Wrestling/RandySavage "Macho Man" Randy Savage]] and a [[SuperMode newly-transformed Boot]] going up against Kermit.]]
27	* OutOfContextEavesdropping: Bob overheads Rocky talking about training (as in, karate training) but mistakes it as him "seeing a [[{{Franchise/Pokemon}} Pikachu]]".
28	* NameDrop: Kermit himself does this in the first part.
29	* ShoutOut: I mean, [[Franchise/MortalKombat the title gives it away]], doesn't it?
30	** Rocky uses the [[Franchise/DragonBall Kamehameha]] on two separate occasions: once when [[spoiler:killing Kermit]], and nearly a second time when he has a {{Heroic BSoD}} spotting a Pez dispenser with Kermit's face on it.
31	** Cookie Monster pretty much recites the opening to ''{{Series/The Six Million Dollar Man}}'' while Kermit is being rebuilt, complete with him saying "WeCanRebuildHim".
32	** Kermit [[spoiler:interrupts [[VideoGame/MegaManX X]]'s quest and steals one of his power-ups, killing him with it]].
33	* ThoseTwoGuys: [[JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf Statler and Waldorf]] both show up at the end of each episode of Part II, riffing the series as expected. [[spoiler:That is, until episode 3, where Waldorf is revealed to have died of old age due to waiting so long for it to come out.]]
34	* ToBeContinued: Occurs in the first and immediately resolved in part one of the second.
35	* WeCanRebuildHim: Kermit is reconstructed by the Muppet crew as a super-enhanced {{Cyborg}}, a la ''Six Million Dollar Man''.
