I never dupe posts from Metafilter, but this just put such a smile on my face. 5 minute Youtube Sesame Street. Hot hot hot!

  • So awesome. Best post ever. Someone needs to link to all of those Muppet musical links that we put in some old thread a couple weeks back. When Paul Simon told me to put down the duckie, I found myself wishing that I had one in my hand so that I could obey him.
  • Aah, Madeline. *sigh*
  • Some details here.
  • Dear God, was that Hugh Laurie?!?!?!? Also, last night I made a blog post about Abigail's refusal to put down her ducky down whilst taking a bath. Veddy interesting...
  • Holy Croley Crapamaboley, all these years I thought I dreamed that. I want to fickin' marry Youtube.
  • I'd forgotten how great of a start to a day Sesame Street is. Thanks!
  • I mean, anything with Edith Prickley, Jeremy Irons, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo all on the same set HAS to be a dream, doesn't it? *shakes head, throws Nyquil bottle away*
  • That's kinda relevant to me right now, thanks! Stupid computermachine anyhoo.
  • Aren't the eyes too small to be Hugh Laurie?
  • *really hating work computer right now*
  • Hi nil!
  • Wonderful! Makes me miss Jim Henson all the more.
  • dunno if they eyes were too small - couldn't quite make out his face that great. It just really looked like him. Also, I have invented a new grammatical rule (see:"put down her ducky down"). I'll let you know when I name it.
  • Hi back atcha, fish tick!
  • I mean, seriously surreal. And this coming from a woman who sang backup for a guy dressed as General MacArthur singing "A More Human Mikado."
  • See Also Excellent clip. Now who's up to do The Pigeon!?
  • Great to see Gordon Jackson, whom I associate more with Cowley in The Professionals than with Upstairs, Downstairs. Pass the ducky on the lefthand side. Winners don't use ducks. Say no to ducks. You've got to ask yourself a question. "Do I feel ducky?" Well, do ya punk?
  • Completely magnificent. Thanks, Medusa, made my day! :D
  • Somebody find Muppets singing Mississippi Mud, wouldja? I tried and failed.
  • Woo- nice page! I'd like to see the video, too.
  • It's great to see Itzhak and Rhea Perlman together again, especially after she had that fling with Danny DeVito.
  • *deadpans*
  • Not Hugh Laurie. Jeremy Irons.
  • Ralph - what I really want to know is how tall Rhea and Danny's kids are.
  • Medusa: I love you.
  • today I feel all warm n fuzzy, filled with muppety monkey love :D
  • *nonchalantly toothpicks blue fuzz from teeth*
  • This video has been removed due to terms of use violation. NOOOOoooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
  • Aw geez way to break it kit!
  • motherfuckers!
  • It was like that when I found it!
  • The CTW goons got to them.
  • Ahh we gots a message from Big Boid.
  • From Entertainment Weekly: 25 Classic Sesame Street Guests
  • No Stevie? PFFT.
  • No James Taylor doing "Jellyman Kelly"? PFFT.
  • There is no post-Elmo ANYTHING that qualifies as "classic."
