What would your favorite Lefty Sketch be? I love the one with the Stop sign and the Invisible Ice Cream.

I dunno about you, but I'd really like to buy an O. Wouldn't you.

Though he probably stole it from a store sign. Like the new Sco drug or Khls.

That one's my favorite.

Ah, Lefty, Lefty, Lefty! A great SS Muppet, who was also a heckuva singer and dancer!:wink:

My favorite Lefty sketches include:

The Golden AN - Lefty has trouble remembering his orders to lift the Golden AN, and as a result, is caught by a policeman named Dan, and poor Lefty is forced to spend "ten days in the can."

The classic Invisible Ice Cream Cone sketch, with Ernie.

Lefty recites the alphabet, and receives a lollipop from his boss.

The "Elephant Picture" routine, with Ernie.

Stop Sign - Lefty tries to sell Ernie a Stop sign.

And, of course, the memorable "Would You Like to Buy an O?"

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

How about:

  • where he tries to sell Ernie an 8, but Ernie spent it all on 9's. The line "I'll throw in a 2 and a 4. and two 3s" confused me, with the numbers juxtaposed like that, but I liked the skit anyway :smile:
  • Lefty is assigned to bring "some, more, and most" carrots. Cute rabbit.
  • Lefty sells Ernie a bottle of air, bottle not included. "Yes it could!(have vanished into thin air)"
