David opening door after door

[Ziffel]

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 astonished expression. The sound effect that accompanied it was neat. It was a sound to indicate bewilderment. Hard to describe the sound by typing, but my best attempt would be that it sounded like this: Buh WEE uh wah!
This sound effect was used in other clips too. He ends up opening about five doors. I can't recall what was finally behind the last door. Whatever it was, he was happy. My best recollection is that it was a radio and he turned on some music.
Does this one ring a bell with anyone? Rather obscure and I never heard anyone ever mention this, yet I know they did replay it from time to time in the early to mid 70's.

he's trying to find his way out of a building, finds 2 doors that wouldn't open, says haey a door. not talking in his normal voice, after those 2 he finds a 3rd one that opens outward that has the word open. he reads the word,opens it and a 2nd door with the word. this happened several times till he's finally out. also check out this SS sign and word skits. http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=13423&highlight=word+skits

Thank you. And I see from the one of the posts of the thread you referenced that the man was indeed David. I was pretty sure it was. I think the only thing that might have had me wondering for sure if it was him was that I seem to remember he looked a little different than normal in this episode. Maybe the clothes, or he had a hat or different hair style or something. Been so long since I've seen it.

yes, indeed, it was David. He seemed to be dressed in an orange outfit with a bowler hat on his head- looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland. He does go through 5 or 6 doors, each one getting smaller, each one saying
OPEN, and David doing the same double-take accompanied by the same sound effect at each smaller door he goes through. He finally does squeeze through a trap door at the end. Very surreal. Haven't seen this one in ages, but it amazes me I can still remember it as well as I do.

there was another skit invovling him walking into a room saying open and saying closed as he closes the door, the door opens my itself he says open closes it and yells closed! door slams. the window opens and closes it, saying those words and for about a minute or so both the window and door keep opening and closes one and the other opens. finally says alright you guys you win! Open! walks out and both window and door closes.

I don't think I saw that one but it sounds like a good one. And I just read the posts from that other thread you posted, mikebennidict. And a couple of other short threads about David or David and Maria, too. That one thread I did about David and Maria eating spaghetti is probably my favorite with him, but he made a lot of appealing sketches. And the one I'd most like to see again is the one in this thread right here - David opening all those doors until he's finally out. Not only because it was fun ( like the sound effects of his bewilderment and the garb he had on) but also because I don't quite remember it as well as others like the restaurant one and the bridge one.

there was nothing behind the last door other than the outside world and their was music but he didn't turn on any radio.

Ah okay, been so long since I saw it. Was pretty little so I'll bet the reason I was thinking a radio is because when he went out the last door and they played music I, as a very young child, didn't make the connection that it was just closing skit background music. Heh heh, I remember when I was only about 3 or 4 and saw Ernie and Bert skits I would wonder what the music was at the end of the skits. In the one where the faucet drips and Ernie then turns on the radio and the vacuum cleaner and then snores loudly after all that, Bert sighs, "It's just not fair." And then the music that plays in the background, when I first heard it around 1970 or 1971 I pictured an elderly man playing the piano in a nearby room to their bedroom.
And that makes sense that it was the outside world he entered into because I recall that on the other side of that last door it was real bright (too bad the same couldn't have been said for me! ).
