But Kermit was clearly the straight man in the show
He was, undoubtedly. But in my memory and my conception of the two characters, their interactions were always like this . With Miss Piggy the angry diva or upset girlfriend to Kermit having a chuckle. It might actually have been that that happened maybe a couple of times ever but as a little kid you don't have the best grasp of nuance so that's the impression it formed. I also had obviously a lot less appreciation for characters having roles and functions so even though that exchange was actually really funny and very memorable since I still remember it even today, as a child I only take it on a very literal level, so Miss Piggy isn't a diva character that creates funny situations by being quick to anger and not tolerating anything she considers beneath her, instead she's "mean" or "fussy" you know? Obviously different as a grown up, but it made me not like the character as a kiddo.
