The connect among the images is 'Muppet Bait'.

"Muppet bait" was popularized by Henry Blodget, a former Wall Street analyst and co-founder of news site Business Insider.

In a May 2012 interview with CNN, Blodget attributed the genesis of the term coined by him to Goldman Sachs' emails, in which they disparagingly referred to their customers as "Muppets." The Goldman emails were mentioned in the course of an op-ed article by a Goldman Sachs executive director in The New York Times on Mar. 14, 2012 titled "Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs.

Henry Blodget called the Facebook IPO a Muppet Bait.

Kermit the Frog is puppeteer Jim Henson's most famous Muppet creation, first introduced in 1955.
