Muppets Underwater is a nonexistent often cited by Jason Segel as the type of film he was trying to get the Muppet franchise away from when he and Nick Stoller were developing the 2011 film The Muppets. Ironically, Segel wrote a segment for The Muppets in which Kermit's car has the ability to travel by map, including a shot in which the vehicle is shown to have driven under the Atlantic Ocean whilst full of Muppets: Muppets underwater.
