Does anyone remember this skit from the early 80's?

We see a blue screen and this gray Volkswagon drives in. A narrator said that this car looks like it's full of people. Then the door opened and out came a bunch of kids and the familiar adults. The narrator says, "Now the car is empty." But they opened the car door again and out came some more adults and kids and Barkley the Dog. The narrator says, "Now the car is empty." But then the door opens once again and out came some more adults, kids, and Big Bird. Then everyone leaves except Big Bird. He stays behind to help pull Snuffy out of the car. The narrator asks Big Bird if that car is empty. Big Bird looks in the car and shakes his head yes. And he and Snuffy leave. The narrator says, "Finally the car is empty." But then one last little girl comes out of the car making it empty at last.

What was weird about this skit was not only all those people and giant sized Muppets could fit in that small car, but it was during the time when they thought Snuffy was imaginary and the adults didn't seem to know that Snuffy was in there as well.
