Two more Muppet/Family Guy referances.

In the episode "Lets go to the Hop"
The Newsreporter Tom Tucker says toad licking (a new drug craze) is "also known as lillipadding, frenching the prince, and doing Kermit"

In the Episode "15 Minuets of Shame"
Peter craves to get attention on his reality show with a puppet (it is Madame the puppet character from "Wayland Flowers and Madame"), when the camera starts to pan away from peter to something more interesting Peter says "wait! We were gonna sing Rainbow Connection!"

Yeah, I started watching that when I started college. I saw Stewie making Kermit and Piggy kiss and stuff, to which my friends just laughed.

Simpsons too

I know that there a probably a lot of Muppets refrences, but when reading through this thread I thought of the Simpsons ep. "A FISH CALLED SELMA" In which she date Troy McClure. They go to see his movie at a drive in, he is playing a knight and is talking to a Miss Piggy character.
