    Runaway bride on toast on eBay

    Hear about this bizarre story? That runaway bride, Jennifer Wilbanks (which was a bizarre story right there!) is now selling on ebay. This guy sketched her face on a piece of toast and put it up for bids on ebay. Apparently he was just joking around ( in view of the grilled cheese sandwich...

    Ernie talking about what to do tomorrow

    After just posting about a skit where Ernie keeps Bert awake by talking about shapes, I thought of this one where he keeps Bert awake by talking about what he should do the next day. As they are about to go to sleep Ernie asks Bert, "What do we do tomorrow, Bert?" Bert just wants to sleep and...

    A talking reflection in the mirror

    Remember a skit with a female muppet standing in front of a mirror and talking about how her reflection in the mirror will always do exactly the same thing she does? For instance, she noted how if she hops up and down, her reflection will also hop up and down. She was pretty happy and...

    A giant foot and lots of laughter

    Here's a segment I remember seeing from about 1975 or 1976 (though it may have been made a little before then). I'm rather fuzzy on this one. I recall a big human foot that I think was on the often used wall. I think this person might have been supposed to be a giant, and we only see his foot...

    Sesame/Muppet Discussions Outside of MC

    At this forum we enjoy discussing the muppets and other SS items with each other. But I was wondering if any of my fellow classic Sesame Street fans here ever bring up classic clips to people at work, in their family, etc. :) Kind of a different question but I was just curious. For me, from...

    A couple more alphabet segments

    How about these two alphabet segments? A cartoon with a girl named Gloria singing her "alphabet song" as her unseen instuctor puts it. There were at least two skits made with her singing the abc's. The one I remember best was where she suddenly races through l m n o p. The instructor says...

    Bill Cosby and his three friends

    Remember this very enjoyable sketch with Bill Cosby and four children? He was sitting down with 4 boys standing behind him (except one was hiding behind the middle one). He says to the viewers, "Hi, I'm sitting here with my 3 friends." They say, "Four." He turns back to count , "1,2,3". Then...

    David opening door after door

    Here's a sketch I enjoyed seeing several times in the early 70's. I think David was the one (and only one) in this one. He kept opening a door (or a small size door like a trap door) to see what was behind it. Each time he saw it was simply another door, he looked at the viewer with an...

    man on the street learns about backwards

    Here's another I haven't seen since at least 1975; but saw it a lot of times before that; and found it to be enjoyable and memorable: A man (rather elderly) is walking down a busy street sidewalk and a voice says to him, "Excuse me sir, do you know what forwards means?" He says, "Forwards...

    Man saying alphabet

    Wondering if anyone recalls this. From the early 70's I saw this clip several times. It was a man (I'd say about 35 or 40) standing in an empty room and he slowly goes through the alphabet. The letters light up above his head one at a time. It's a pretty stoic clip. About the only thing that...

    Ernie and Bert both want the same chair

    How about this one where Ernie and Bert wanted to watch tv in front of the same chair and they kept scheming back and forth to trick the other one out of it. Then they agree to share the chair, but then Herry comes along and tricks them both out of the chair so he can have it. But then they...

    Grover and Oscar skit

    Another classic skit that I really loved. Grover talking Oscar into playing an alphabet game where they take turns saying something that each letter of the alphabet stands for. Grover chooses all positive words and Oscar, of course, selects negative ones (and the WAY he says them are...

    Cookie Monster "eating healthier" in news

    I have the radio on and a few minutes ago the news came on at the top of the hour (10pm eastern time USA). One of the stories a few minutes in was about how the Cookie Monster is eating healthier in Sesame Street's new 36th season. How he will be promoting vegetables and fruits (I believe Grover...

    David and Maria sketch

    Here's a classic sketch with David and Maria I liked. They are in a restaurant and both order a bowl of spaghetti. Maria gobbles hers down real quickly. An unseen voice narrator says, " Short time." Then David starts eating his spaghetti one noodle at a time! The narrator says, "Long time." A...
