Muppets Mayhem Easter Eggs: Tracks 2 & 3!

The Muppets Mayhem has been out for a couple weeks now and is filled with many hidden and not so hidden Easter eggs for fans to discover. 

There are so many in fact that we're going track by track (episode by episode) to help you spot them.


Track 2: “True Colors”


The Electric Mayhem's van drives past a billboard for Doc Hopper's Fried Fried Legs. 


Animal gives Nora a variety of presents, including the baseball diamond from The Great Muppet Caper.



Dr. Teeth and Floyd are seen playing 70's video game Pong. 


While looking for collaborators Norah crosses off Linda Perry. Perry was a member of the band 4 Non Blonds and was Executive Music Producer for the series. She also composed the music for the Electric Mayhem's "Gonna Get There" and "
We Are One." 

At the hospital, Dr. Oznowicz is paged. This is a tribute to Muppet performer Frank Oz.



When Lips answers the phone, he says "Mahna Mahn"’ a reference to the classic Muppet song. 


Celebrity Cameos:


Zedd as himself.


Track 3: “Exile on Main Street”



The Chateau Marmont can be seen in the opening. The hotel is famous for rock star shenanigan's. 


Moog namedrops an encounter with Prince. The late musician appeared on Muppets Tonight
.

After the band discovers the billboard of Animal as ‘The Chosen One’ for Teppanyaki Terrace, Zoot comments that Animal "grew." This is a call back to The Muppet Movie when Animal grew after eating Muppet Lab's Intergrow Pills. 

Zoot is shocked to learn the Blockbuster on La Cienega Blvd. has gone out of business. He still has a copy of Bambi that he needs to return. There really was a now closed Blockbuster there. Many celebrities in the West Hollywood area frequented this location. 



Animal is wearing the same pajamas he wore in Muppets From Space.

Cameos:



Zedd as himself.

Sofia Carson as herself. 


Ben Schwartz as Gus D'Vore Animal's career coach.

UPDATE: Series writer Hans Rodionoff reached out to us with even more info about Ben Schwartz's cameo:

Ben Schwartz's character is named Gus D’Vore. "Gus D’Vore is the main character in the Damage Control comic book that (series creator) Adam (F. Goldberg) and (they) wrote for Marvel (in the comics, the character is meant to look like Ben Schwartz - Adam and I pictured Ben when we created Gus for Damage Control).

Gus is the progeny of Galactus the Devourer - hence his name GalactUS the DeVOuREr. When he goes to work at Damage Control, he keeps getting into trouble at every department, so they keep shuffling him around - much the same way that Animal can’t manage to keep a job in this episode."


Jennifer Irwin as Animal's call center boss. She played Virginia "Ginzy" Kremp on Adam F. Goldberg's other series The Goldbergs.


James Hong as Animal’s teppanyaki mentor chef.

New Character Info:

We learn Floyd named Animal.

New Characters:
JJ.
