| Meet the Feebles | comment |
Meet the Feebles, a 1989 musical comedy directed by Peter Jackson (yes, that Peter Jackson), is basically the cast of the The Muppets reimagined as depraved, coked-out lunatics. It's set in a world where everyone (with one exception, the contortionist Abi) is some sort of animal, anthropomorphized to varying degrees, and of different sizes, from the size of a small fish to a giant sea creature. The smaller characters are portrayed by puppets, but the larger characters are portrayed by people in costumes.The story revolves around a Show Within a Show, the Fabulous Feebles Variety Hour. It starts 12 hours before the show is planned to go live, but the actors in the show all have problems of their own. For example, Heidi wonders if Bletch is cheating on her, Bletch needs to get a drug deal through, Harry's been diagnosed with The Big One and doctors say he has hours to live, Robert needs to get the girl of his dreams Lucille, Sid needs to train a new batch of creatures after his old batch is run over by a barrel (and deal with a paternity suit), Wynyard needs to get his Heroin fix, Trevor needs to find new people for the porno he's been filming, and Abi literally needs to get his head out of his ass. All without a single F-bomb dropped onscreen.And the only problem Kermit had was with being green...The madness eventually ends in a surprise ending, but in the trailer, it said "Please, don't tell your friends how it all comes out in the end", despite the fact that the preview already shows the surprise ending, and all the viewer needs to do is connect the dots. (Plus, the cover hints at the surprise ending and the cover of the soundtrack album is an actual screencap of the ending.) | |

Dirty Coward: Sebastian. The only non-nice guy to survive, only does so because he ducks into Harry's giant carrot during Heidi's rampage. He still ends up losing an eye though. And wrote a best-selling autobiography that painted him as a hero. Wynyard, because of how he abandoned the commander frog, who previously rescued Wynyard from enemy soldiers. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Meet the Feebles / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Trevor's voice is an obvious Peter Lorre parody. And a good one, at that! It's also worth noting that, intentional or otherwise, Trevor is much closer to the menacing villains Lorre often played than most Peter Lorre parodies. Wynyard's voice is heavily based on that of Reverend Jim Ignatowski, Christopher Lloyd's character on Taxi. | |

Hot Skitty-on-Wailord Action: Bletch the walrus is several times larger than his mistress Samantha Cat. Initially, Trevor is seen shooting a BDSM porn flick starring two actors known as the Masked Masochist and Madam Bovine. After Robert walks in and ruins the shot, Madam Bovine sits on the Masochist, killing him. The Masochist was a weta (a type of insect). Sidney and Sandy — an elephant and a chicken, respectively — managed to have a kid, for all Sidney's protests that he's not the father. | |

Smug Snake: F.W. Fly, on top of being pesky and invasive, is also very smug and snide. When he finds out that Harry has caught "The Big One", he's beyond excited at the chance of getting a great scoop and is positively giddy and completely unsympathetic as he prods Harry for info, even mocking his impending death. F.W. does end up getting his big story to the presses, but when Mr. Bletch and Trevor find out, it winds up costing him his life. | |

Dysfunction Junction: Other than Robert, Lucille, and Arthur, we have Heidi, a depressed Hippo with an eating disorder, Sidney, an elephant caught up in a paternity lawsuit, Harry, a hare with a sex addiction, Wynard, a smack addicted Vietnam vet, Bletch, a full-blown criminal who cheats on his girlfriend, and that's just scratching the surface. | |

Furry Reminder: One of the film's many ways to shock the audience is by having its Funny Animal characters do things that their real animal counterparts do - such as Mr. Bletch (a walrus) eating a fish character, F.W. Fly (a fly) eating crap out of a toilet (on top of that, Harry tries to kill him with bug spray), Trevor the Rat gobbling up the corpses of Sidney the Elephant's dead pets, Sandy the chicken continuing to move and speak after losing her head, and Robert (a hedgehog) curling up in a ball when he's feeling shy. | |

Karma Houdini: Sebastian, (especially since a lot of much less Jerkassy characters get slaughtered in the finale). However Sebastian is seen in an eyepatch which implies he lost an eye while trying to escape the rampage. Ironically, after Sebastian performs his big number, Bletch orders Trevor to kill him, but Heidi's rampage makes that impossible. | |

Face–Heel Turn: Heidi temporarily turns into a killing monster after suffering a Heroic BSoD. She attempts to kill everybody in the movie, whether they deserved to die or not. While she kills several cast members who arguably did deserve death, she also murders several characters who are as far as we know, innocent. She eventually comes to her senses during the end of her killing spree. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Samantha the Cat. When she walks in on a desperate, emotionally broken Heidi about to blow her brains out with Bletch's light machinegun, she taunts her and tells her she should take the safety off first. Heidi follows her advice... Then promptly turns Samantha into swiss cheese before going on a rampage. During Heidi's rampage, Bletch is in his box seat, but she doesn't know he's there. Instead of hiding or running somewhere safe, he yells at her to put the gun down. This catches her attention and she shoots him down from the box to the stage, where she eventually finishes him off. | |

Shout-Out: The Jesus on a crucifix in this movie looks like Kermit the Frog. Since the whole thing is a Muppets parody, it might as well have been intentional. Wynyard's Vietnam flashback begins by spoofing Full Metal Jacket's urban combat scene, and then goes on to the Russian Roulette scene from The Deer Hunter. When F.W. Fly is being tortured by Mr. Bletch, he cries out "Heeeelp meeeee!". | |

On the flipside, despite being the "boss" of the show, Bletch doesn't have anything in common with Kermit. Some believe Sidney to be one of Gonzo, as they're both blue, have long noses and in a relationship with a chicken. | |

Depraved Kids' Show Host | |
| Meet the Feebles / int_e71db2e | comment |
Depraved Kids' Show Host: Pretty much everyone in the show's cast has some serious vices and very not-kid-friendly problems offstage, be it Harry the MC's addiction to sex, Wynyard's smack addiction and Vietnam PTSD, or Sidney's paternity suit. On top of that, the manager is a full-blown criminal who deals with drug pushers, has a cabinet full of heavy weaponry, and cheats on his girlfriend, and the show's director has his heart set on a big show-stopping number about the joys of sodomy. | |

Levitating Lotus Position | |
| Meet the Feebles / int_e807c3ec | comment |
Levitating Lotus Position: Abi over his bed of nails when Sebastian starts yelling at him to get on stage. He falls and hurts himself a bit kind of foreshadowing his later death on the nails when threatened with firing. | |

Swallowed Whole | |
| Meet the Feebles / int_eea96e78 | comment |
Swallowed Whole: Bletch eats a tone-deaf fish who tried to get in to the show, vomiting him half-digested but still alive at the golf course. Then Mr. Big swallows Bletch, Trevor, and their car, only for them to drive out through his anus, killing him in the process. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| Meet the Feebles / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: As seen in the ending montage, the few remaining characters get happy endings, and they had to put up with bullying and narrowly avoiding death in Heidi's massacre to get there. | |

R-Rated Opening | |
| Meet the Feebles / int_f9ab4501 | comment |
R-Rated Opening: The opening number contains nothing that would be objectionable to any parents who mistakenly rented this for their kids, other than the line "Samantha the pussy will show you some action" (Samantha's a cat, but the audience doesn't know this yet), which is easily missed anyway. But as soon as it's over, Trevor (who is smoking a cigarette, at that) tells Heidi "Alright, you fat slag, move yer ass!" And if that wasn't enough to scare parents away, we're then treated to the sight of Mr. Bletch and Samantha having sex. | |

Go-Karting with Bowser: A double case of this trope. Despite being on opposing sides of a gang war, Bletch, Trevor, Barry, Cedric, and Louie all go play golf sometime before their showdown. | |

Ridiculously Cute Critter: Subverted to hell and back. Aside from Robert, Lucille, Arthur and — arguably — Seymour, nearly all the animals in this movie are or eventually become ugly, disease ridden, rotten or just generally unpleasant. | |

Pet the Dog: While Mr. Bletch mistreats Heidi, he treats Arthur with a fair amount of respect and even offers him a seat next to him and a cigar during the premiere of the show. | |
