Kermit the Frog and his friends struggle to put on a weekly variety show.
Waldorf: These seats are awful. Statler: Why? Can't you see anything? Waldorf: That's the problem. I can see everything.
Waldorf: How do they do it? Statler: How do we watch it? Waldorf: *Why* do we watch it? Statler: [Breaking the fourth wall] Why do *you* watch it?
Waldorf: Just when you think this show is terrible something wonderful happens. Statler: What? Waldorf: It ends.
Waldorf: Well, you gotta give them credit. Statler: Why's that? Waldorf: Well, they're gonna keep on doing it till they get it right.
Statler: Now why did you do that to poor Fozzie? Waldorf: Do what? I really was on the Titanic. Statler: I know. You still have the dress you wore so they'd let you in the life boat. Heh heh heh. Waldorf: D'oh!
Statler: Please don't make me watch it.
Sam's Dance Partner: What's the difference between illegal and immoral? Sam The Bald Eagle: Immoral is something that's not right and illegal is me with a tummy ache. Sam The Bald Eagle: [Sam's dance partner looks at the camera in disgust] I didn't write it.
Waldorf: Tell me, Statler. Do you have any naval experience? Statler: Well, I once saved a rat from drowning. Waldorf: Really, how? Statler: I gave him mouth to mouse resuscitation!
Miss Piggy: [as Nurse Piggy] It's too late, Doctor Bob. We've lost him. Rowlf: [as Doctor Bob] Well, he couldn't have gone far. He was under the sheet just a second ago.
Miss Piggy: Methinks thou doth protest too much. Kermit: What? Miss Piggy: Shakespeare. Kermit: Sounds more like Bacon. From a ham. Miss Piggy: How would you like a pork chop? Hi-yah! [karate chops Kermit] Miss Piggy: You always hurt the one you love.
Kermit: Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Muppet Show!
Kermit: Animal, you like the theme song, don't you? Animal: [nods head emphatically] Yeah, yeah! Floyd: No, no! Animal: [shakes head emphatically] No, no.
Waldorf: [after the ending theme plays] Uh, Statler? Statler: Yeah, what? Waldorf: Is that it? Statler: Yes, it's over. How'd you like it? Waldorf: Uh, I don't know. I slept through the whole thing. Statler: Well, you didn't miss much!
Waldorf: Well, this show certainly doesn't lay any eggs. Chickens: Bwak bawk bawk! Statler: Wanna bet?
Announcer: And now Pigs in Space. Starring the ever handsome Link Hogwash, the illustrious first mate Miss Piggy, and the scientist Dr Jullius Strangepork. Our story begins when...
Waldorf: Pay up! They made it through another one Statler: Double or nothing next week's show? Waldorf: You're on!
Waldorf: [after the song "Happy Feet"] You know, on the show that wasn't funny. Statler: True, true. Waldorf: But on a record, it doesn't even make sense!
Waldorf: I can't believe those rats were responsible for this show. Statler: Those rats were also responsible for the bubonic plague. Dohohohoh!
Fozzie: [Phone rings] I'll get it! [Picks up] Fozzie: Muppet Show backstage. [Coins start pouring out of the mike on the phone, and Fozzie takes off his hat quickly to catch them] Kermit: Fozzie, who was it this time? Fozzie: Las Vegas. [Kermit walks off disgusted]
Fozzie: Hey, did you hear the one about the kangaroo that comes into a store, and a hippopotamus comes out and he says to the kanga [curtains close] Fozzie: HEY I WASN'T FINISHED!
Statler: I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't watched it. Waldorf: Believe what? Statler: I don't know - I wasn't watching.
Statler: Well the show tonight certainly didn't lay an egg. Chickens: Bawk! Waldorf: Wanna bet?
Statler: Ever heard of pig on bikes? Waldorf: I've never heard of road hogs.
[repeated line] Announcer: And now, "Veterinarian's Hospital". The continuing storrrrry of a quack who's gone to the dogs.
Statler: What have you got for an opening act this time? A Chinese gorilla dancing ballet? Kermit: Cancel the opening number. Chinese Gorilla: Dong day do dai dai do...
Statler: This show is awful. Waldorf: Terrible. Statler: Disgusting. Waldorf: See you next week? Statler: Of course.
Statler: I like that last number. Waldorf: What did you like about it? Statler: It was the *last* number!
Fozzie: Kermit. Kermit. This time I have really got it. I have re-mastered the art of handling hecklers. Kermit: Oh, you think so, huh? Fozzie: Oh, I know so. I know so. Kermit: OK, I tell you what - you tell a joke and I will heckle you. Fozzie: Great. Kermit: But, Fozzie - I expect a great comeback. Fozzie: Right. [clears throat] Fozzie: Ahh, my cousin's so dumb he thinks Eggs Benedict's a mafia gangster. Kermit: I've seen cheeseburgers funnier then that. [Fozzie pounds Kermit with a rubber chicken] Fozzie: What do you think, huh? Too subtle?
Fozzie: [Phone rings] I got it! [Answers] Fozzie: Muppet Show backstage. [an explosion with bright light comes through the phone's mike] Kermit: [a little shaken] Uh Fozzie, who was it this time? Fozzie: The Atomic Energy Commission.
Kermit: [the phone rings] Fozzie, will you get that? Fozzie: [Runs up and answers it] Hello. Muppet Show backstage. [Water squirts out of the mike on the phone] Kermit: Who was that? Fozzie: The water department. [Hangs up and walks away] Kermit: [Towards the camera] What the hey?
Waldorf: [looking down from the balcony] He shouldn't have jumped. The show wasn't that bad.
Robot Kermit: Hey, listen you, how about you and me getting together and makin' some ste-e-e-am heat. Huh, snuggle bunny? Miss Piggy: Snuggle bunny? Why, uh... Robot Kermit: Yeah. Look, let me take you away from all this. Aaah, a marriage made in heaven. A frog and a pig. We can have bouncing baby figs.
Miss Piggy: But I love him. Rowlf: How could you love him? You're a nurse. Miss Piggy: That may be true, but I am a woman first. Rowlf: No, you're not. You're a pig first. Nurse second. I don't think woman made the top 10.
Muppet Newsman: Here is a Muppet News Flash. [runs to the desk] Muppet Newsman: There is no news tonight.
Fozzie: I don't got rhythm. Rowlf: That's for sure. Fozzie: I don't got rhythm. Rowlf: Who can ask for anything more? Statler: We could! Waldorf: Yeah! Earplugs!
Rita Moreno: Kermit I was wondering if we could just forget the cue cards and just ad lib it. Kermit the Frog: Ad lib it? Yes I don't mind doing that but there are others who may take offense. Rita Moreno: Like who? Kermit the Frog: Like the guy who holds the cue cards. Sweetums: Nice lady not want Sweetums to hold cue cards? Rita Moreno: Uh no. Sweetums: Nice lady want Sweetums to hold something else? Rita Moreno: Sure you can hold anything you want. Sweetums: Great! That best offer Sweetums have all week. [Sweetums picks up Rita like a football and walks off with her while Kermit shrieks] Kermit the Frog: That's the problem with guests on this show. They seem to get carried away.
Fozzie: [the phone rings] I'll get it! [Picks up] Fozzie: Muppet Show backstage. [Thick white smoke comes out of the phone] Kermit: Fozzie, who was that? Fozzie: [Coughing] The fire department. Kermit: [Towards the camera] I think this is what's called a running gag. [At that the Muppet Newsman runs by towards the stage] Fozzie: [Pointing at him] No, THAT'S what's called a running gag.
Statler: You know I never liked this show's theme music. Waldorf: Niether did I. Kermit: You promised!
Fozzie: Let's all sing the rhyming song, the rhyming song, the rhyming song. Let's take turns and rhyme together... the rhyming song. Pig: I left my niece in your car. Fozzie: The rhyming song, the rhyming song. Pig: My laundry's ready at half-past nine. Fozzie: The rhyming song. Oh brother. Link? Link: The stars are twinkling in the sky. Fozzie: The rhyming song, the rhyming song. Link: There's no hot water in my hotel. Fozzie: The rhyming song.
Beauregard: Kermit! Kermit! I had a dream and it was so real! I... what does it mean when you dream people are walking on your head? Kermit: It means you're sleeping on the floor!
Announcer: And now it's time for Veterinarian's Hospital, the continuing story of an orthopedic surgeon who's gone to the dogs.
Waldorf: You are my sunshine! My only sunshine. Statler: Why you old fool! Waldorf: What? Statler: I'm not your son and my name's not Shine. Waldorf: And he calls me an old fool?
Kermit: And now a man who needs no introduction, so what am I doing out here?
