How Does Santa Do It?

Just like the rest of you, I've always wondered how Santa gets in my house every year on Christmas Eve. How does this jolly red giant sneak in, eat our cookies, drink our milk, and leave presents under the tree, all without being detected or maimed in the process? Maybe the children know. Let's see what they have to say.



Well, that was all very inconclusive. I'm still not convinced he can fit down our stove pipe, and get out of the stove without dying in the process. Maybe that's why he doesn't come to my house anymore. Or maybe it's because we don't put out milk and cookies anymore. Or maybe it's because Santa hates me. The holidays suck. I'm going to go listen to "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" and try not to cry about how much it reminds me of the first Christmas I can remember.

What a Night. Now Watch This.

I held a meeting. I helped out with a program where lots of people were loud and some people were cheating at a game. I went to another meeting. Finally, I had free time to go see some emo music and feel sorry for myself.

Now watch this.



I always liked Snuffy, but I was never really fond of Big Bird. Too bad they are almost always seen together since Snuffy is Big Bird's imaginary friend. I also like this clip because of the lame jokes. Some of my friends assure me that lame jokes are the coolest, and of course, I agree.

The Man in Black Meets the Monster in the Trash Can

Oh man. I was totally searching for a Christmas clip, but I wasn't too fond of the Oscar the Grouch one that I found. I decided to search for other Oscar clips, since he hasn't been featured in this blog yet, and I found this gem. Not only do I like Oscar the Grouch, I love Johnny Cash. This may be one of my favorite clips yet. Enjoy!

Also, if you're over 12, you may start thinking this clip is a little too much for a kid, but then kids don't think the way teenagers or adults do.

The Cookie Monster Strikes Again

Well, the Cookie Monster has done it again. This time he's smeared his own good name on national television, and what's worse, Elmo's in on it too. On Thursday, December 3rd, Rosita, Elmo, and the Cookie Monster were on the Tyra Banks show. The link below is to a photo that clearly shows what happens when Sesame Street Muppets get out of hand. Elmo is pulling an Edward Cullen while Cookie Monster goes for the behind. Now what kind of way is that to act when children might be watching? Shame on you, Elmo and Cookie Monster. Shame on you.

For All You Trekkies Out There

This is also for fans of The Count and Patrick Stewart. The Count is having some trouble with the number one, but Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) has no trouble getting him back in line. My Trekkie friends assure me that Star Trek is the coolest thing ever, so I think this clip awesome.

Yip-yip Martians go Gansta'

Do you ever sit around and wonder what Sesame Street would be like if the Muppets were all gangstas? Well, apparently someone did. I found this clip on youtube and thought I would share it with all of you because the Martians are pretty much my favorite characters from Sesame Street, and I thought this video was pretty funny.

Ridiculous Sweater Day

So the internet has been screwy all evening, but now it's ok for the moment. Today was Ridiculous Sweater Day, and some people wore silly sweaters. Like the kind you see on the Cosby Show or the kind you get for Christmas. I found a crazy Christmas one at a second-hand store. It was so awful, people actually liked it.

Here's a Sesame Street clip with some sweaters and Muppets being ridiculous.

Super Grover Saves the Day?

So yeah, obviously I'm back from Thanksgiving. The family was tolerable, but I don't know if it was really a good experience for me. The turkey sure was good though.

I am trying to include as many sesame street characters as I can in this blog. The character for today is Grover. I'd sort of forgotten about Super Grover, so it was cool to find some clips of him. Enjoy this one!

The Cookie Monster: Innocent Furry Creature Who Loves Sweets or Evil Monster?

I received a link from an undisclosed source. Please click on it before you watch the video below. You may never look at the Cookie Monster the same way again.

Here's the video:



Personally, I think the Cookie Monster is a bit of a con-artist and a moocher. I don't really think he's evil.

Sesame Street Celebrates 40 Years!

Well, Turkey Day is almost here and my therapist has suggested that I go visit my family for a few days. He thinks it will be good for me. I just hope they don't badger me with too many questions. Anyways, I won't have internet while I'm there, so this will be my last post until this coming Sunday. Happy Turkey Day readers!

In honor of Sesame Street's 40th anniversary, I made this little postcard-like thingy on paint. I wish I had photoshop on my laptop. Maybe I can ask for that for Christmas.

Aliens!

So I started out the day very upset because a fellow blogger wants me to jump off a cliff. But it's ok now. I talked to my therapist about it, and he assured me that jumping off a cliff is not cool, unless there is water below you, and even then it's very dangerous and not cool. I'm not sure I believe him; New Moon made it look so cool... But I digress.

Today's Sesame Street video is one I remember seeing as a kid. I found it by chance, and as soon as the spaceship started coming down, I knew I'd seen it before. I love the yip-yips (or whatever they are called)! I hope you all enjoy this video as much as I do!

Not Intended for Children (or my therapist)

In my search for nostalgic clips from Sesame Street, I found some funny videos and songs parodying the show. This song and video is not really child friendly, so parents be warned. Also, I'm not sure that my therapist would approve, so if he reads this and watches the clip, it's not serious. I just thought it was kind of funny in a dark way.



Although Weird Al is in the slide show, I don't think the song is by him. I wish I could have found an actual video to go with the song. Let me know what you think.

Reflections

When I think about Sesame Street, I think about the things I remember seeing on it when I was a kid. Sometimes I wish I could go back and re-watch some of those episodes, because I can't remember them all. I do remember that I liked a lot of the songs on Sesame Street. One of my favorite songs from the show was the one that Ernie sings about the moon. Luckily, I found a clip of it on youtube. Here it is.



I hope this brings back happy memories for you like it does for me. Now I need to go listen to something really emo before I get too happy.

Pinball Mania

So I was watching Family Guy the other night, because I heard it was a cool show, and they had this reference to a pinball machine. I knew it looked familiar, and after doing some research, sure enough, it was a reference to Sesame Street. Here is the clip from Family Guy.



Here is an original pinball clip from Sesame Street.



Notice how the only difference is that Stewie is in the ball? Yeah, Family Guy is soooo cool. (Sesame Street is better :P)

Elmo meets the Goo Goo Dolls

A few years ago, I was at home, flipping through the few channels we had, when I saw the Goo Goo Dolls on PBS. Being a fan, I stopped and realized they were on Sesame Street. I remember thinking that it was kind of weird, but looking back on it, it was pretty awesome. Now the kids of today, or a few years ago, will get exposure to a great band too! Here is a clip from that episode.

How to get to Sesame Street

So this is my first post, obviously. I am new to this blogging concept. I am usually very depressed, and I don't have the capability to choose my own interests. In other words, I like whatever is popular, and I hate myself for it. My therapist says I need to find some happiness before I kill myself. He said I should get in touch with my inner child, not try to strangle it.

In an effort to do that, I am creating this blog about Sesame Street. I will post video clips from the show, and write comments on them. I welcome any feedback, but please don't be mean. I'm trying to find good things in life.
