Breaking the Fourth Wall/Muppet films

List of Muppet films that feature fourth wall breaking.
==The Muppet Christmas Carol==
*Acting as narrators, Gonzo (as Charles Dickens) and Rizzo the Rat frequently break the fourth wall as they provide narration and commentary on the events of the film. While the duo often speak directly to the audience, they rarely interact with the other characters and the story itself – a notable exception is when they step in to correct Sam the Eagle's declaration of it being the "American way" to being the "British way".
==Muppet Treasure Island==
*When Billy Bones suffers a heart attack, Rizzo comments: "He died? And this is supposed to be a kids' movie!"
*Statler comments on being "stuck to the front of this stupid ship," and Waldorf replies: "Well, it could've been worse. We could be stuck in the audience!"
*A line in the "Cabin Fever" song says, "I'd like to get my hands on whoever wrote this script."
*Clueless Morgan comments on the "Cabin Fever" musical number.
*Long John Silver gives his crewmates stage directions during the "A Professional Pirate" number, saying, "Upstage, lads, this is my only number," as they carry him across the camp.
*A Muppet tomato on the Swedish Chef's ingredient tray says, "How else did you think we were going to get him into this movie?" (after which the Swedish Chef whacks it with a large mallet).
*A rat conducts a tour of the island, referring to the place as the location for the movie Muppet Treasure Island.
*Statler comments that saving Smollett and Benjamina made them heroes, and Waldorf replies, "Well, it was too late to save the movie!"
==The Muppets' Wizard of Oz==
*When Dorothy fights the Wicked Witch, writer-director Quentin Tarantino suggests to Kermit that he wants the fight sequence to be extreme with samurai swords, dangerous stunts, and explosions, like every other action movie he created. Kermit then denies his idea by telling him that it's too violent for a family film.
==The Muppets==
*While meeting with Tex Richman, Statler comments that if he didn't know any better, he'd say Waldorf was "reciting some sort of important plot point." Waldorf responds: "I hope so. Otherwise, I would've bored half the audience half to death." Statler then retorts, "You mean half the audience is still alive?"
*Gary often makes references to some of the musical numbers he sang in earlier scenes.
*When Kermit shakes his head and says there's no way they can raise the money to save the theater, Mary sadly observes, "This is going to be a very short movie." This is somewhat a callback to a joke Kermit had made to Mr. Tarkanian in released three decades before.
*Fozzie is surprised that they "had that in the budget" in response to an expensive-looking explosion at Gonzo's Royal Flush.
*80's Robot suggests that they speed things up by using a montage to pick up the rest of the Muppets. Rowlf is upset that his reunion is omitted from the montage.
*Fozzie suggests that they travel by map to get to Miss Piggy in Paris, which they subsequently do. Later, when Gary and Mary arrive to help out with the show, Kermit asks how they got here so quickly, and they acknowledge that they traveled by map.
*Uncle Deadly comments on the film's charming finale.
*In the finale, Marvin Suggs sings: "The movie's almost over, it's time to say, 'So long.'"
*Tex Richman comments on the fact that they've "already sung this song" during the reprise of "Life's a Happy Song".
==Muppets Most Wanted==

*The film features the song "We're Doing a Sequel", which comments on the fact that the Muppets are doing another film.
*After Walter leaves, Rowlf comments on the events of the previous movie, and that they made a whole new movie where he joined the Muppets. Rizzo comments on how Walter got more screen time than he, or Robin, did.
*A deleted scene features dialogue that directly and literally breaks the fourth wall.
*During the credits, some characters break the fourth wall.
==Muppets Haunted Mansion==
*After Gonzo passes by two familiar-looking head busts, the Dr. Bunsen Honeydew bust tells the Beaker bust, "I had so hoped we'd have a bigger cameo, Beaky." He then adds, "Budget."
*During the séance scene, Miss Piggy, while playing Madame Pigota, remarks: "This is my biggest scene in this whole special, and they stick my head in a fishbowl!"
*In the middle of the song "Tie the Knot Tango", Sal Minella scolds a Muppet penguin for quacking something inappropriate by remarking: "What's the matter with you?! You can't say that! This is a family show!" It is strongly implied that the penguin cursed in its bird language.
