Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • At one point, the Muppets in Gonzo's rescue party stand on each other's shoulders (Kermit on Fozzie and Pepe on Miss Piggy) to disguise themselves as doctors. This makes the size of their heads look out of proportion to the size of their bodies, and it's made all the more funny when they come across a real doctor, who gives them a weird look and walks away. The best part is Kermit's "What in the world?" when they find Gonzo strapped to a gurney, Rizzo chewing through the straps, and Dr. Phil dramatically screaming in fear.
  • The commentary track, where the director, Gonzo, and Rizzo all riff on the movie and tell stories about making it (like that the dream sequence at the beginning was actually shot inside Gonzo's head).

 Pepe: Hey Kermit, when are you going to fix the oven, okay?

Kermit: What's wrong with the oven?

(massive offscreen explosion)

Pepe: That.

Enter Swedish Chef: ItsderbigKABLOOM!

  • The scene where Gonzo, right after being struck by lightning to talk with the Cosmic Fish, rushes into Kermit, Clifford, Rizzo and Pepe poker game...and some discharge sets Rizzo's hand on fire.
Cquote1

 Pepe: Dos Deuces. The Prawn Cracker wins.

Rizzo: A PAIR OF TWOS? I swear, I had four aces, I really did! (Note: He really did.)

Pepe:: (singing) You got know when to hold 'em...and when to fold 'em...

  • Miss Piggy and reporter Shelley, going toe to toe. Also counts as a moment in awesome for Piggy!
  • After Gonzo's broadcast attracts all manner of UFO fans to the house, we see Sam - an Eaglelander in more ways than one - trying to shoo them away. "There is nobody here but us honest, hard-working Americans!" ... Who are honest, hard-working talking frogs, pigs, vermin, crustaceans, and whatevers. (This assumes, of course, that the Swedish Chef is a naturalized citizen.)

 Sam: ...Now get off my Kentucky bluegrass!

  • "Smoking is bad for you, okaaaaay?!"
  • The security guard (played by Kathy Griffin, oddly enough) being chased off by Animal and then comes back madly in love with him. Unbelievable.
  • Bobo, in general. He's such a lovable idiot. This troper is particularly fond of when he sings to himself while getting Gonzo some jalapenos for his sandwich.
  • Pepe's attempt to put the moves on Katie Holmes.
