There's also the really old sketches of Grover coming to Kermit's house and selling him things he has no use for.
I don't know if Kermit is as patient with Grover as Grover is with everybody in general. Kerm would try to shut the door in Grover's face, insult him repeatedly, and finally blow up yelling and screaming. It was Grover's total oblivion to Kermit's (or anyone else's - Fat Blue comes to mind) frustration that would even get things to that point. Even after the blowup, Grover's reaction was always one of surprise more than hurt, and he would immediately bounce back with some optimistic solution. ("Well, why did you not SAY so, Froggie? OF COURSE you do not have teeth!" - and proceeds to remedy that problem.)
So, yeah, I don't know that Kermit is all that patient with him; it's just that Grover doesn't know how to take a hint, and is so lovably convinced of his own charm that he doesn't know when he's being annoying. That's what makes the whole thing so funny.
