I know this sketch is from 1973 but:

(1) What happens in this sketch?

(2) Where did it take place at?

(3) How is it?

(4) If there's ending music in there, how does it go?

4 questions, please.

(1) The twiddlebugs decide they want to go to the zoo, but can't decide how to get there. They consider:
• Walking. But it would take 3 days.
• Swimming. They tried, but you need water to swim.
• Flying. They tried, but flapping their arms only made them tired.
• The family car. So they "took" the car to the zoo. "You take that end and I'll take this end."

(2) In the window box outside Ernie's apartment, among the flowers growing there. Though I must say I'm not sure where that window is located in relation to the rest of the place.

(3) Mildly humorous, though that's just my opinion.

(4) I don't recall any music.

I remember that one. The Twiddlebug sketches haven't been seen in quite a while though. I wish I could think of more of them.

I remember what Ernie said as the Twiddlebugs were leaving:
"Well...there go the Twiddlebugs. Oh what smart little rascals they are!Keeheehee!(trademark Ernie laugh)"
