TheBestofKermitTitleCard

The Best of Kermit is a 1998 Sesame Street direct-to-video special, in which Grover hosts a tribute to Kermit. The program features Steve Whitmire in the framing story and Frank Oz as Grover, surrounding clips of Kermit as performed by Jim Henson. The special features appearances by The Three Little Pigs and The Big Bad Wolf, as well as new segments in which Grover talks to real-life kids about Kermit.

BKOSS02
FRAME 1
Grover is backstage, explaining to the viewer that he's about to present The Frog of the Year Award to Kermit, and has prepared a poem for the occasion. Then the Three Little Pigs enter, saying that they are there because they are friends of Kermit's ("He's talked to us twice on Sesame Street News.") They say that they will bring Kermit the award, "the biggest prize a frog can get", and they will do whatever else they want. Grover presumes that this may mean trouble, but the Big Bad Wolf shows up and compels the pigs to behave. He tells Grover that if they bother him, just yell "Pig Patrol!"

After those clips, Grover is convinced that frogs don't have those things, but states that they do have calmness, and never get angry. However, all of the clips shown show Kermit getting angry.

Clips of Kermit being angry include:
Kermit yelling at Grover after getting ears put on him
Kermit trying to tell Grover that he doesn't have a nose
The Wonderful World of T-Shirts
Kermit wearing sunglasses

Grover is then convinced that frogs have no ears, no nose, no teeth, and do occasionally get angry, but Grover is certain that frogs know the alphabet.
