| Muppets Most Wanted | comment |
Muppets Most Wanted, the follow-up to 2011's The Muppets, follows... well, The Muppets (who else?) as they tour Europe, only to become ensnared in a caper as they encounter Constantine, a crime boss who bears an incredible resemblance to Kermit. The film sees the return of Flight of the Conchords alumni James Bobin and Bret McKenzie, as well as The Muppets co-writer Nicholas Stoller. Jason Segel is completely unaffiliated with this movie. The film stars Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey.It was released in theaters on March 21, 2014.Previews: Trailer 1, Trailer 2. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Kermit and Piggy in a nutshell. Piggy seems more in love with the concept of being married to him and Kermit's definitely not as gung-ho to rush into things (this was a minor subplot in the previous film, and a Running Gag through the series), but Constantine's manipulation of Piggy causes her a lot of doubts, and Kermit is seen with a rather... interesting... pin-up of Piggy in his cell. Not to mention how Kermit manages to tell Constantine off. | |

Trailers Always Spoil | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: A lot of the trailers and commercials showed bits and pieces of the wedding. One TV spot released at the very beginning of 2014 even had Miss Piggy in the background, visibly wearing a veil. Entirely justified, since that climax was where most of the action was, but it's still jarring and could also be a factor in the film's underperformance. | |

The Cameo | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: It wouldn't be a Muppet movie without them. This is lampshaded by Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga who's one line is singing about "one liner cameos" As in The Muppets (2011), we hear Jerry Nelson's voice introducing The Muppet Show (as a tribute, as he had passed away a few months before filming began). Doubling as a Creator Cameo in its own right, artists from Double Negative VFX's Singapore branch make cameos during the wedding. James McAvoy as a UPS delivery guy. Tom Hiddleston as The Great Escapo. Ross Lynch as a flower delivery guy. Usher as an usher. Céline Dion appears to help Piggy sing her Céline Dion number. Stanley Tucci is a Gulag sharpshooter and has the honor of firing a warning shot to stop Kermit from fleeing the prison. Zach Galifianakis returns to reprise his role as Hobo Joe. Chloë Grace Moretz as a newspaper delivery girl. Josh Groban is the guy in solitary with the beautiful pipes. | |

Villain Song: Constantine and Dominic have a Villain Duet with "I'm Number One [You're Number Two]" which is both about the bad guys' plan to pull off their heists and frame the Muppets, but Constantine reminding Dominic that he's nothing in Constantine's eyes. Villain Love Song: Constantine sings "I'll Get You What You Want" to Miss Piggy to schmooze her in order to move his plan forward. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: A significant amount of the jokes and scenes will frequently do this and overlap with Leaning on the Fourth Wall. The first five minutes has the entire Muppets cast singing about how this movie is going to have Sequelitis, then try to decide what the sequel's plot is going to be. invoked A quick blink and miss it scene is where Constantine is trying (and seriously failing) to say "burglary". The ensuing shot of Dominic has him looking exasperated and briefly glancing at the camera in a "my boss is a twit" kind of way. The Fourth Wall is thoroughly demolished in the extended cut, when Fozzie, Walter, and Animal rescue Kermit from the gulag: When Constantine tells the Muppets that Fozzie and Walter have quit the Muppets, they remark that they just did an entire movie on how Walter joined the Muppets, with Rizzo remarking that they spent more time on him than on more beloved Muppets. A deleted scene features a group of Disney Channel stars arriving at Kermit and Miss Piggy's wedding claiming to the "Disney synergy invites" | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In the opening sequence of The Muppet Show, keen-eyed viewers will notice that in the shot of the Muppet Show sign being flown out after Kermit does his introductory spiel, he is slumped limply in place (because the way that shot was filmed precluded a puppeteer being in position to operate him). In this movie, Constantine gets stage fright while doing the introductory spiel in Kermit's place and faints, slumping limply in the same pose. | |

Funny Background Event: While Jean and Sam are watching the Muppets perform at Dublin, one can see that Jean parked his car in the theater, and it fits perfectly in the aisle. When Nadya prepares to sing her (cut) solo at the end of "Together Again Again", Kermit makes a face, as if trying not to laugh at the knowledge of the upcoming gag. Fozzie is playing with the lamp in the interrogation room while Jean and Sam admit that the Muppets are too stupid to be the thieves. | |

Prisoner Performance | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_28bf2393 | comment |
Prisoner Performance: Nadya, the warden of the Siberian Gulag, loves musical theater, so she enlists Kermit to help her organize the prisoners' annual talent show, "The Siberian Gulag Revue." Kermit does a great job directing the prisoners, even though they argue with him as much as the Muppets did, and they put on a perky performance of "Workin' in the Coal Mine." Only during the curtain call does Nadya realize that during the performance, all the prisoners, including Kermit, escaped through a trap door. | |

Credits Gag: Three of them. When the credits begin to roll, Sweetums is seen pulling them up on a rope slowly. Fozzie enters to help him by pulling on another rope, followed by Rowlf and the Swedish Chef. By the time the cast list almost completes, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew arrives with an invention made to make the credits scroll up on their own. He pushes the button, but the credits scroll up way too fast. In the middle of the credits, Fozzie comes in and says, "Check this out!" He then puts his hat on the "LOS ANGELES UNIT" text, which scrolls up. At the very end, Fozzie returns and says, "The movie's over. You can go home now, Ma." | |

Painting the Medium | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_5009999d | comment |
Painting the Medium: "We're Doing a Sequel...". How many introductory songs have references to the previous film's plot, nitpicking about how many films they've made, and even the fact that the studio, at the time, felt it was a marketable franchise? Never mind jokes about the length of time it took to make Toy Story 4 (which wouldn't exist until five years later) and several film tropes. It's easier to describe it as Better than a Bare Bulb The Musical. | |

Spinning Paper: A series of British Newspapers announcing the wedding culminating in a copy of The Times which lampshades the News Monopoly with a headline about how it's such a slow news day the Muppets are getting the front pages. Other sequences start with the spinning, blurred newspaper, but end with a TV on which the Muppet Newsman reads a report. | |

Happy Ending Override: Those millions of Muppet fans that appeared at the end of The Muppets (2011) to lend their support to the gang at their time of need? Yeah, those were just extras and paid dancers. Nobody still cares about the Muppets, as said multiple times throughout the first movie (and, as far as we can tell, they still don't by the end of this one). Just as Nadya gets ready to sing a solo at the very end (something she's wanted to do ever since putting Kermit to work on the gulag talent show), she gets cut off by the credits. | |

Constantine never thanks anyone for things.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Despite their eccentric personalities and quirks, both Sam the Eagle and Jean Pierre are rather good at their jobs. They do manage to make good deductions based on logical reasoning, making the connection between the Muppets and the heists. They do question the Muppets, and while they do rule out that there is nothing implicitly linking them to the crimes, they still believe that there has to be some connection. It's only when they are given false evidence that the pair are led astray, but even then it backs up their theory that one of the Muppets was responsible. Police Are Useless: Despite all of this, Sam and Jean are of no real help in actually defeating and capturing Constantine. | |

Sequelitis: invoked Lampshaded to hell-and-back in the opening number, "We're Doing a Sequel". The first verse ends with "everybody knows that the sequel's never quite as good", and it only escalates (spirals downward?) from there. Dr. Honeydew points out in the same song that this is actually "the seventh sequel to our original motion picture," though an argument can be made that the number is even higher should one count multiple Made-for-TV Movies. On the other hand, it is the first Muppet film to pick up a previous entry's plot. So it's the ninth or so installment, but the first real sequel. | |

The Cast Show Off: Constantine gets a couple of flashy musical numbers, "I'm Number One" and "I'll Get You What You Want", and especially sounds good in the latter. It makes sense, because in addition to being a Muppet performer, Matt Vogel is also a singer and musician, and even has his own band (The Mighty Weaklings). Being the a successor of Jerry Nelson (who also did a lot of singing during his heyday and was a talented musician in his own right) helps a lot. | |

Eagleland: The rare Muppet production that kind of agrees with Sam the Eagle's ideology.

Their subplot is largely comedic, but Napoleon is far and away the more buffoonish of the pair. | |

The Bus Came Back: Louise Gold returns to the Muppet cast after a fifteen-year absence, to bring back her character Annie Sue after an absence nearly twice as long. Despite is, Annie Sue doesn't do anything of importance or even have any lines. Also Mildred Huxtetter (the purple upper-class woman Muppet) made a couple of cameos in the movie after not being seen properly as a main Muppet since The Muppet Show ended. Pops makes his first appearance in a Muppet movie since The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984). Blind Pew returns as a Gulag prisoner. This is his first appearance in a long time since he was last seen walking through a burning tavern more than 20 years ago in Muppet Treasure Island (1996). Andy and Randy Pig, Howard Tubman, Carter, and Spamela Hamderson make their first appearance since Muppets Tonight. This movie marks the first and only time Spamela makes an appearance in a Muppet Movie (in which she actually follows the required dress code for Kermit and Miss Piggy's wedding). | |

Never My Fault: Downplayed, as Fozzie appears to be quite embarrassed by this, but when Kermit asks Fozzie why he didn't notice that he — Fozzie's best friend — had his identity stolen by a criminal, Fozzie tries to justify his mistake ("He looked like you and talked like you! Well, okay, he didn't talk like you, but he said he had a cold!"). Then, when Kermit angrily calls out Fozzie and Walter for not noticing like Animal did, Fozzie says that it's not as bad as it sounds (Walter, meanwhile, admits that it is indeed as bad as it sounds). | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The fact that Constantine constantly calls Dominic #2 and that the notorious criminal "The Lemur" is the second greatest thief in the world should get people to add two and two together. Also that his e-mail address (shown on the business card) is lemur_sint_spendida@mail.com. Did you wonder where they got multiple copies of the Lemur's calling card? Spain's critics/papers on the show being printed so fast. The song "I'm number one" continuously reminds Dominic that he will always be The Dragon and nothing more as long as Constantine's pulling the strings. The lines "Dance Monkey Dance" and "Now step aside, this ain't your show" foreshadow Dominic being the Lemur, his attempt at usurping the roll of Big Bad from his boss, and the Curb-Stomp Battle that ensues. Constantine calls Dominic his "monkey". A lemur is a type of lower primate. Celine Dion's appearance during "Something So Right" is heavily foreshadowed by Miss Piggy's requests to perform her songs (even performing "My Heart Will Go On" during the Dublin show) and a signed photo of Dion appearing just before the number starts in Piggy's dressing room. | |

My God, What Have I Done?: The Muppets feel awful when they discover that Constantine switched places with Kermit and that they didn't notice, and they realize they've been taking him for granted for a majority of the film. | |

Furry Reminder | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_a1d3ebd7 | comment |
Furry Reminder: Early in the film, Miss Piggy tells Kermit the frog not to serve flies during their wedding reception. During Piggy's verse of "The Interrogation Song", Napoleon bombards her with endless double-entendres about her species — "squeal", "bacon", "hide", etc. She isn't amused, but he fares better than some other people who've pressed this particular Berserk Button; in the Muppet Show days, she'd usually karate-chop the insulter in half. | |

As Himself | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_a5e0c01 | comment |
As Himself: Apparently the badass gulag prisoner played by Danny Trejo is... Danny Trejo.note If you look at the credits, Danny Trejo is not cast as "himself" but as "Danny Trejo." Meaning that he's technically playing a character who happens to be named Danny Trejo. The guest stars on each of the venues: Christoph Waltz in Berlin, Salma Hayek in Madrid, and Saoirse Ronan in Dublin. Usher appears as... a wedding usher: Sean Combs appears as himself playing craps with the Muppets on a train; Pepé calls him "Diddy". | |

Ascended Extra | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: Link Hogthrob, slightly. Going from being a part a musical number in the last movie to being part of a musical number and having actual dialogue in this one, this is Link's biggest role in a Muppet movie yet. Sam the Eagle has a much larger role, working with Ty Burrell's character to solve Constantine's crimes. Pepé and Janice, who had very little dialogue in the previous film, and Rizzo and Robin, who had none. A pair of real-life examples: Ricky Gervais and Danny Trejo both had (deleted) cameos in The Muppets (2011), only to receive a major and supporting role, respectively, in this movie. | |

Recycled Premise | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_a6fa41b | comment |
Recycled Premise: In basic terms, the movie is (perhaps accidentally) very similar to The Great Muppet Caper. It opens with a self-aware musical number explaining the movie, then the Muppets go to Europe, get entangled in a case of mistaken identity, and ultimately thwart a major jewel heist. Further, there's a Kermit-villain-Piggy love triangle, a song about the terrible accommodations in a "hotel", a ragtag group of investigators looking to get to the bottom of it, and a gag about Beauregard's terrible driving. | |

Fozzie is eating a meal from Subway (with the drink cup's logo prominently displayed on screen) and this is actually a plot point. The avocado from his sandwich landed on the picture of Constantine in the newspaper he was reading, which helped him and Walter to realize that "Kermit" was Constantine the whole time. (In Real Life, Subway did a tie-in with the film, offering bags.) | |

Be Careful What You Wish For | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_b06bbf4b | comment |
Be Careful What You Wish For: Kermit vetoed a lot of his crew's ideas due to being way too long (Electric Mayhem's marathon jam session), inappropriate (Piggy's Giftedly Bad singing), or just plain nuts (an indoor Running of the Bulls, Gonzo?!). With Kermit gone, Constantine impersonating him, and Dominic not caring, the whole show goes Off the Rails, and only Dominic's bribery hides how awful it truly is. Likewise, Constantine plays Piggy for a fool by pretending to be the willing suitor Kermit usually isn't. Piggy is really happy to be getting what she wanted... but starts to have second thoughts about it all when it's nearly too late. | |

| Muppets Most Wanted / int_eedee4d | comment |
The Starscream: Dominic does more of the heavy lifting and footwork on their caper while Constantine is rubbing in his face how he's a subordinate. No guesses for how Dominic planned to repay the treatment. | |

Sequel Reset: The Muppets (2011) ended with a big musical finale and a standing ovation... until the opening of this film: | |

The Alleged Car | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_f237981e | comment |
All of the above makes it seem even stranger that it takes Napoleon and Sam over 30 hours to drive from Geneva to Madrid (normally about a 13-hour trip). Of course, they are driving The Alleged Car. | |

Identical Stranger | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_f27ec906 | comment |
Identical Stranger: A lot of puppet design and performing work went into making Constantine look similar, but not exactly, like Kermit. Aside from the mole, there are several subtle differences, designed to make the audience notice without being obvious. Initially he was a slightly different shade, but this was scrapped as too obviousnote Thanks to some Product Placement, it later becomes plot relevant that both frogs are roughly the same color as guacamole from the Subway fast food chain.. His frill is shorter and wider than Kermit's. His eye slits are more horizontal than Kermit's, giving him less of an innate smile to his eyes, and thus he looks permanently angrier. The puppet's mouth was constructed to look like a frown, and the puppeteer, Matt Vogel, holds his hand in a claw-like position, giving him more of a sneer (and an underbite). Finally, Vogel swings Constantine more when walking, giving the illusion of a heavy-shouldered man (despite having no shoulders). | |

Traveling at the Speed of Plot | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_f314f8c4 | comment |
Traveling at the Speed of Plot: Both Muppet and human characters have the apparent ability to transport themselves clear across Europe at the drop of a hat, while at other times their trips between locations are explicitly shown to take more than a day. See Artistic License – Geography for the absurd details. Zig-zagged in the extended version, where Kermit makes an offhand comment that he has been in the gulag for months, explaining the plot. However, Fozzie, Walter and Animal are able to get from Dublin to Siberia and back again with Kermit in two days time, so not completely averted. | |

Product Placement | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Fozzie is eating a meal from Subway (with the drink cup's logo prominently displayed on screen) and this is actually a plot point. The avocado from his sandwich landed on the picture of Constantine in the newspaper he was reading, which helped him and Walter to realize that "Kermit" was Constantine the whole time. (In Real Life, Subway did a tie-in with the film, offering bags.) Also, UPS delivers Sam's biggest badge, a moment after it seemed Jean had the biggest badge. | |

Super Gullible | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_f541fb16 | comment |
Super Gullible: The Muppets are extremely gullible in this scene where Dominic Badguy introduces himself by flashing his business card. Questioned about his strange surname he claims it's French and means "good man", which the Muppets swallow in a heartbeat. | |

Running Gag | |
| Muppets Most Wanted / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: When it's time for Jean's breaks, he takes them, no matter where he is, or what is happening. Up to and including his vacation. Constantine blowing things up with a remote detonator. Could double as a Chekhov's Gun or a Brick Joke, except that, by then, is no longer played for laughs. Constantine twisting some of Kermit's more famous lines into sinister one-liners ("It's not easy being mean... hehe") or ridiculous mondegreens ("the lovers, the dreamers, and cheese... nailed it"). | |
