This episode has examples of
- Chekhov's Gunman: Lew Zealand keeps bugging Kermit for a chance to show off his Boomerang Fish act. During the Wedding "Sketch", Kermit introduces Lew Zealand instead of saying "I do".
- Dodgy Toupee: It's revealed that Louis Kazagger is wearing one of these, when it jumps off his head and joins the wig race.
- Insane Troll Logic: The Swedish Chef thinks that because raw onions are good for the sinuses, they belong in a wedding cake. Gladys is less than impressed.
- Pass the Popcorn: When chaos breaks out at the "fake" wedding, Marisa gleefully watches from the sidelines, even trying to catch a boomerang fish like she's at a Bouquet Toss.
- Real Fake Wedding: It soon becomes obvious that the wedding sketch Kermit is roped into doing with Miss Piggy may not be just a sketch.
- Slasher Smile: Marisa, dressed as a little girl, has this expression throughout "You're Always Welcome at Our House" to play up the Lyrical Dissonance of the song. At the end she briefly flashes some sharp fangs while inviting the viewer to her house.
- That Russian Squat Dance: Done by pigs in Cossack costumes in the "Red Pigs Dance" number. One of them kicks with both legs at once and hovers in the air for a split second before falling to the floor.
- Toilet Humor: Louis Kazagger asks one of the trainers if he uses a shampoo for his wigs. The trainer says he only uses real poo. "Nothing but the best poo for my wigs."
- Tricked into Signing: Miss Piggy plots to marry Kermit by casting him in a wedding skit and hiring a real priest. Her accomplice Scooter gets Kermit's signature on the marriage license by telling him a sob story about a dear little old lady in the audience who wants his autograph for her sick grandson.
- Vaudeville Hook: During Kermit's introduction for the "Wedding Sketch" the priest wanders onstage and mentions a service he has to perform later. Just as Kermit realises what this means, a hook appears and yanks him offstage so he can't object.
- You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Louis Kazagger's reaction to hearing that he's covering "wig racing" is to look off-screen and ask incredulously, "Wig racing?"
- Kermit: [hiding in Statler and Waldorf's box] Hey, if you guys let me hide here, I'll give you tickets to next week's show.
[A Beat. Statler and Waldorf throw Kermit out of the balcony.]
