Sesame Street/Funny: Difference between revisions

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrJnzBFzEEY Don Music banging his head on the piano while songwriting with Kermit the Frog.]

* Bert teaches his pigeon to play checkers. Ernie is suitably impressed, and says that a pigeon that plays checkers has to be the smartest pigeon in the whole world.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_Uv6vD4v1A Bert is It!]

* A crossover funny moment with ''[[The Daily Show]]'': After Jon Stewart pointed out that Grover's harried restaurant customer looked just like Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele, they were able to get that Muppet (or at least a replica) as their own Muppet Michael Steele, responsible for some of the show's best moments.

* "[[The Man Your Man Could Smell Like|I am on a horse...]] Moo! ... cow." Not to mention [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkd5dJIVjgM everything before it.]

* In ''Christmas Eve on Sesame Street'' during a discussion of Santa Claus:

'''Patty:''' ''[[Miracle on 34th Street|Macys!]]'' }}

* The entirety of the classic sketch "The Magic Apple" from ''Sesame Street''. Bob is narrating a book that is in turn being performed by Ernie and a couple of other muppets. Fourth-wall violations abound. But this sketch gets especially funny when they trot out a very reluctant Bert in drag, who had to play the part of the princess in the script because no one else was around to do so. "You look great, Bert. You're beautiful!"

** [[No Indoor Voice|"Heeeeree FISHY! FISHY! FISHY! FISHY!]] [[This Is Sparta|Heeeeeeeereeee FISHY! FISHY! FISHY! FISHY!"]]

* Robert DeNiro teaches Elmo [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqHfser_9_s how to act]. Hilarity and Surprises ensue. Oh, and he even gives a [[Shout-Out]] to some of his previous roles:

* Forgetful Jones singing "Oklahoma" wrong (and Kermit's reaction each time).

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDwEzSoQp-Y Kermit's visit to the Wonderful World of T-Shirts].

* Spider Monster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR1DdMeVqTw

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te70C_4getQ Normally the martians are seen as] [[Nightmare Fuel]], and they are for Ernie, but...

'''Bert:''' *completly deadpan* "Ask them if they want any oatmeal." }}

** and then the martians wiggle off to the kitchen to get some oatmeal.

* One episode from Season 37 has Cookie Monster doing his own version of "Elmo's World" called (naturally) "Cookie World". It's an [[Internal Homage]] that goes close to [[Self-Parody]] at some points.

* Ernie has trouble sleeping, so he tries [[Counting Sheep]], which is visualized to the audience. However, their bleating is so loud that Bert suggests something else. He then moves onto counting fire trucks, and finally balloons. Ernie imagines blowing up a balloon, which gets so big that it explodes loudly, causing Bert to scream.

 

=== ''Follow That Bird'' ===

* One of the Sleaze brothers barks at the two kids, as if he's got a guard dog.

* Cookie Monster keeps eating the car he's riding on while they search for Big Bird.

'''Gordon:''' Cookie! }}

* Kermit's joke: "Why does the chicken not cross the road? Because it's [[Incredibly Lame Pun|chicken]], get it?"

* Cookie Monster's good-bye.

'''Big Bird:''' I won't, Cookie Monster. }}

* Grover's good-bye is arguably even funnier.

'''Big Bird''' ''[without a trace of sarcasm]'': I always ''do,'' Grover! }}

* The Sleaze brothers looking for Big Bird.

'''Sam:''' We're not looking for haystacks, you chowder head. Keep your eyes peeled. Big Bird's gotta be around here somewhere. }}

* Super Grover falls into the yellow bug, thinking he's found Big Bird.

'''Super Grover:''' Super Grover please. When's lunch? Hahaha. }}

* The Sleaze brothers spotted Big Bird.

'''Sam:''' Its air force talk, you nerf! }}

* When the Sleaze brothers capture Big Bird:

''[The brothers laugh]'' }}

** Later...

'''Big Bird:''' My cage? My-- my- my-- ''[[Oh Crap|MY CAGE!?]]'' }}

* The Sleaze brothers arrested:

'''Sam:''' ''[[Big "Shut Up!"|SHUT UP, SID! SHUT UP!]]''<br />

'''Sid:''' ''[still crying]'' Judge... jail... }}

* Bert and Ernie lookout:

'''Ernie:''' Your nose, Bert. }}

* Gordon trying to get Big Bird to jump into the Beetle:

'''Gordon:''' You ''have'' my ''permission!'' Just this once. NOW, COME ON! }}

** Earlier:

'''Sam:''' Nah! He's a chicken. }}

* Everything ''about'' the Grouch Diner. ''Especially'' the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|tossed salad]].

** Cream of mushroom soup, eaten by itself, is ''revolting:'' it's an ingredient, not a food. The Grouch Diner serves cream of mushroom soup with ''[[Squick|maraschino cherries]].''

 

=== ''Elmo in Grouchland'' ===

* Just about every time Bert and Ernie appear on-screen is hilarious, but this scene in particular:

'''Bert''' (as Ernie ushers him off-screen) ''[[Gone with the Wind]].'' ''[[Doctor Zhivago]].'' }}

* The jail scene gets two CMOFs right after one another:

** First when Big Bird starts singing the Alphabet song to cheer his Grouch cellmates up, and they panic, screaming: [[Take That Us|"Lemme outta here! It's torture! Let us out!"]]

** Then, immediately afterwards, we get this gem of a scene with Gordon and Telly:

'''Gordon:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|...Thanks.]]<br />

'''Telly''' ''(looking at the soaking wet Gordon, holding out his cup)'': I didn't get any. }}
