Anyone remember the two anything muppets (one red, one green) going through the alphabet? I cited this one briefly once before as an example of a sketch that scared me as a kid. It's actually only the very beginning that got to me. There is a plain blue screen and a rather loud knocking or booming sound. And a red anything muppet is at the distant bottom and runs up the screen and says "A". The sudden sound and peculiar music and the muppet racing up scared me (though I bet this one didn't bother anyone else.
).
One time I was sitting in front of the tv watching SS while blowing those old soap bubbles through the stick. I had the bottle on a tray in front of me and when this skit suddenly came on I spilled the bottle all over the tray.
Anyway, once the green muppet then says, "B", I was comfortable with the rest of this sketch, though the music was pretty peculiar throughout. They both alternated saying the letters and at the letters M and S that red muppet said them slowly (like emmmmmmm and Sssssssss and there was a pause for about five seconds. Guess it was just to provide a little variety to the style of the alphabet skit). Then they both say w, then x, then y, and z. Then I think they were on opposite sides of the screen and tried to merge into the center together until they disappeared. They said, "Oops oops are we gonna make it? (then they are completely invisible) Okay good."
