Pig impostors

The pigs take over The Muppet Theatre in The Muppet Show episode 224, kidnapping and replacing all of the non-pigs. 
Character	Impersonates 	Description
 	Kermit the Frog 	Kermit the Pig is a green pig with features similar to Kermit the Frog's, including a collar and ping pong ball eyes. Kermit the Pig takes over as the show's MC, and claims to be a frog. When guest star Cloris Leachman doesn't believe him, he ribbits for her convincingly. His cheer of "Aaaahhh!" is a knockoff of Kermit's "Yaaaay!"
 	Sweetums 	A pig named Sweetums replaced Sweetums. The puppet was recycled from the Ballerina Pig (albeit dressed in furs).
 	Fozzie Bear 	Fozzie Pig (also refered to as "Fozzie the Pig" by Gonzo) is a pig with a porkpie hat and a pink, polka-dotted bow-tie. The pig replaces Fozzie Bear as the show's comedian. In contrast with Fozzie Bear's well-established "Hiya hiya," Fozzie Pig says "hogga hogga."
 	The Swedish Chef	A pig chef replaced the Swedish Chef in a skit where he prepared popcorn. In contrast with Swedish Chef's signature catchphrase, "bork, bork," the pig chef says "oink, oink." 
The Swedish Chef returned the favor by impersonating a pig in Muppet Treasure Island.
 	Dr. Bob 	Doctor Pig replaces Doctor Bob in the Veterinarian's Hospital sketch. Dubbed the "Vegetarian's Hospital," he was assisted by Nurse Piggy and another pig.
 	Nurse Janice 	A blonde pig replaced Nurse Janice in the Veterinarian's Hospital sketch, re-named "Vegetarian's Hospital".
 	The Newsman 	A pig replaces the Newsman in a Muppet News Flash sketch. In his report, he mentions a Dr. Bunsen Honeypig, who was said to have successfully converted a sow's ear into a silk purse and became the object of a massive civil and criminal suit by the wife of Vincent van Gogh Pig.
