Mack's agenda of pushing McGarry's Sausage intruded on the bounds of his friendship with Kermit on several occasions. In one ad ("Wake Up"), Mack whispers to a sleeping Kermit, "Do you want McGarry's Sausages for breakfast?" Kermit murmurs and settles back down to sleep. Undaunted, Mack replies, "You should," and produces a pistol. He fires the gun into the air, yelling, "They start your day off with a BANG!" Kermit leaps out of bed, shaking and fearing for his life. In other ads, Mack bites Kermit on the arm, makes him explode, and lets him drop from a high window.
