International skits on Youtube...

[Erine81981]

Just to clarify on the Irish stuff, there are two different shows, one for Northern Ireland and one for Ireland itself.

The "Play With Me Sesame" is just a dub, produced entirely seperately, and airing in Ireland (which is an independent country while NI is still part of the United Kingdom). It's airing on TG4, a network which produces original and dubbed programming in Irish/Gaelic (and can also be seen in Northern Ireland). So any dubbed clips on YouTube can only come from them


"Sesame Tree" is the co-production, almost entirely in English and with none of the US clips dubbed, produced by the BBC and airing in Northern Ireland, via the BBC's CBeebies block, the rest of the UK (anyone in the UK can even stream full episodes online), They're apparently addressing the language issues in short inserts, much the way the US version deals with Spanish: in one skit, a boy attends an Irish language school and learns about the language. In a metaphorical skit, the monster Muppet Potto meets the hare's family, but doesn't speak "hare."

So they're separate countries, separate shows, separate production companies, and air in separate languages.

Thanks for letting us all know. I've been wanting to know about The Sesame Tree show being that i've seen clips in English and not in whatever Irish speaks. I just thought they had different ackcins (spelling not good) just in English. Thanks again.

Personally, I was disappointed that was the "Shalom Sesame" dub (which I don't understand at all... I thought the program was made specifically for the US to learn about the region and see how their characters are portrayed...) when I first stumbled upon it a few months back. Being the huge Jerry Stiller fan I am, I was hoping someone would post a short clip of that as it appeared in English.

I don't speak Hebrew myself, but the way the translators redid those cultural references in the lyrics amazed me. (If you ever saw the Spanish/English original, you know that it's so full of Mexican imagery that adapting the song to any other language and culture seems impossible.)

Ooops, I think you linked to "Take a Breath" twice by mistake. Could you please post the correct link to the other song? I'd appreciate that a lot...

Since the copy on YouTube is gone (who knows why)? I thought I'd share this new copy from LiveVideo. Enjoy!
