The pigs take over The Muppet Theatre in The Muppet Show episode 224, kidnapping and replacing all of the non-pigs.

Character Impersonates Description
Character.kermitthepig

Performer: Dave Goelz

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).
Character.fozziepig

Performer: Jerry Nelson

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."
Pigchef

Performer: Frank Oz

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.
