Does anyone remember when the SS gang were on the game show, The Big Trip?
This was how they were able to afford to go to Hawaii. They were all in Hooper's Store watching TV and they learned the next big prize on the Big Trip was a trip to Hawaii. In order for them to be contestants, they needed ridiculous costumes. Maria suggested that David dress up as a pizza with anchovies, but he refused.
In Big Bird's nest, Big Bird dressed up like a cowboy and Snuffy was dressed up like his favorite actress, Shirley Temple. He had on a curly wig, a blue sailor suit, and tap dance shoes on his front feet. And started dancing to the Good Ship Lollipop. He told Big Bird that he'd meet him in the audience.
Big Bird met the other adults who had their costumes on. Maria was dressed as a hobo, Gordon a scarecrow, Olivia a rag doll, and David a Christmas tree with a green derby with a star on top. They tried to get into the Volkswagon, but had trouble. Especially with David's wide tree costume and Big Bird being so big. In the end, Gordon said he and Olivia would sit up front while Big Bird gets the whole back seat to himself. And he told Maria and David to take the bus. David and Maria were feeling grumpy while waiting at the bus stop. David said, "I should've been a pizza with anchovies." Maria said, "I like you better as a tree."
Gordon, Olivia, and Big Bird were in the studio audience with a lot of other live action costumed contestants. Snuffy was in the way back row where nobody could see him. Big Bird tried to point Snuffy out to Gordon and Olivia, but they didn't see him at all. Maria and David finally arrived feeling grumpy for they were made fun of when traveling on the bus to the studio.
Then the show started and Guy Smiley came out and said hello and introduced the grand prize. A trip to Hawaii. Guy looked for a contestant and a guy in a viking suit walked up to him. But Guy didn't want him, he wanted the big guy in the giant turkey costume. He was talking about Big Bird, and his friends told Big Bird to go down there. Guy asked Big Bird what his name was and where he was from. Big Bird said his name and that he was from Sesame Street. Then the game started.
First a letter appeared on the screen and Guy asked Big Bird what the letter was. Big Bird answered B. Guy said that was right and now he said that Big Bird had to go into the studio audience and bring back 5 things that start with B and he had 70 seconds. Big Bird was rushing through the audience while the crowd was handing him things from their costumes. David handed Big Bird a bell from his tree costume, a jungle woman handed him a banana, a woman dressed like a frilly little girl handed him the blue bow from her head, and Maria handed Big Bird something.
Guy called Big Bird back and Big Bird showed him the B things. First was a bell, second a banana, third a bow, but the fourth thing was a rope so Guy said he lost. But Big Bird said that Maria had the rope around her waist so it was a belt. Guy Smiley accepted that, but noticed Big Bird didn't have a fifth B thing. But Big Bird said he brought himself and Big Bird starts with B. And he won the trip to Hawaii and he and his friends cheered. And that's how they were able to have the Hawaii adventure.
