There was also this 2-part skit in which Oscar appeared in E+B's apartment, though I don't think Bert was in this one. Ernie was desperately rummaging through his things in search of his Rubber Ducky. Oscar suddenly appeared, and offered to buy Ernie a new one. In the second part, Oscar...

The first alcoholic beverage? I was watching that clip on YouTube in which a man invites an "M" to dinner, and the letter wolfs down everything rather quickly and enthusiastically. Look carefully as he commences eating. First he eats a steak in one gulp. ("Mmm....meat!") Then he eats...

The cow recited the following line at the beginning of his marching sequences: "Oh show me the way to go home" At the end, Gladys said to the lost cow "Well you've come to the right place". After they both disappeared into the barn, we heard 10-20 seconds of enthusiastic "Mooooo...

I remember the last one on the list, where CM eats Hooper's store. At each point where they returned to the street, we saw CM debating his temptation not to eat from the jug of cookies on the shelf (which he'd promised Mr. Hooper he would not do). First, he ate everything else edible in the...

Check out this thread. The first post lists two incredulously close encounters with Mr. Hooper.

Does anyone else remember a film sequence which depicted some kid going to school, and, among other things, doing meaningful work in a school workbook? The part of this video I remember the most was the soundtrack. Little or no sound from the kid in school was heard. Rather, we heard some...

Hebrew skit with Cookie and Beautiful Day Monsters The word "Shahm" means "there", and "Kahn" means "here". The purple monster wants to be "there". First he is with Cookie Monster who is "here", and he is told to go "there" -- to Beautiful Day Monster. But once he gets to BDM, he is suddenly...

In the film where they're spray painting the 5 on the pavement, here's a transcript of the off-screen jump rope jingle: "Blue bells, cockle shells Eevy, ivy, over Down by the ocean, down by the sea Johnny broke a bottle and he blamed it on me. I told ma Ma told pa Johnny got a...

The word "Shahm" means "there", and "Kahn" means "here". The purple monster wants to be "there". First he with Cookie Monster who is "here", and he is told to go "there" -- to Beautiful Day Monster. But once he gets to BDM, he is suddenly "here". CM is now over "there", so he goes over to...

Bone tastes like the letter I Setting is a plain white background. (Boy starts writing alphabet overhead while singing each letter) Boy: A B C D E F G, H I (Dog grabs letter I right out of the sequence) Dog: ga gra, KHUMPF wa Boy: Hey, that's MY letter I Dog: Well it looks just like a...

There was one episode in which Bert really did move out. An educated guess would put it at about 1973 or 74. You know the skit in which Ernie yells "HI BERT IT'S TIME FOR OUR CHECKER GAME! I'M HERE!"? And at the end, Bert proclaims "But I'm not" and Bert walks toward the door to the sound of...

I believe that Mr. Snuffleuppagas once climbed that tree! There was an old-style "Bus Stop" sign on the curb that had an arrow pointing upwards. Big Bird walked by, looked up, and saw Snuffy up in the tree! When asked what he was doing up there, Snuffy said he was waiting for the bus, which...

They did this a lot in the early years. In addition to those two Beatles songs, there was "Help!" (monster chases a boy around a room) and "Say the word" (Anything Muppets are stacking blocks with the word "LOVE" on them). There was also "Count it Higher", but that was a loose parody of "Twist...

How about "Mariah Cowrey" (Mariah Carey), who sang "Some Hay" (Someday).

Ever notice that this sketch has a reference to smoking, albeit a kinda subtle one? Think about it. Mighty rare for the show.

Does anyone remember the following nickelodeon-type films? Each was narrated by a female voice-over. In the first film, we see some woman in a jungle, gradually sinking in quicksand. She's just about up to her neck when she spots a vine overhead. Using a handgun (!), she shoots the vine...

I think I have the King's picnic on a vinyl record, thus covering the audio. "All of ya brought potato salad?"

Though (supposedly) not complete, Tiny Dancer has a transcription. http://members.tripod.com/Tiny_dancer/adeline.html

Does anyone remember a sketch which had a snake charmer drawing up a serpent that looked remarkably similar to the number 12? I'm pretty sure that it was Maria, dressed in (Asian) Indian garb, and playing a lengthy tune on a flute. First a "1", slowly but surely rose out of the basket and...

Does anyone remember a 2-part film of a kid "building" a condo or apartment house? The main focus on the film was on a miniature of a construction site where a model structure was built using stop-motion photography. An unseen man and a boy narrated. Occasionally they would cut in footage...
