Sesame Street - Five purple Conkers

[aeromaximon]

The last time I watched this I was 11

[Akira625]

I think that male Conker should get some DNA tests done. :)

[NorthcoastNut]

It's less sad if you think of one of the ill-fated conkers as Elmo.

[Todeskaefer]

The conkers seem to take the deaths of their friends surprisingly well. And you know the kid isn't his

[70Kenny]

Does anyone else get the feeling that this song was written inside a Volkswagen van by a guy with no job and a fondness for da ganja? CHURP! LOL!!

[JOHNSTAGS]

This was a little creepy, actually..........

[MiddleEasternBorder]

I tried to do this and my head feels terrible afterwards.

[katinaanimator]

Hmmm... Who's the female clonker been honking?

[deathcherub333]

sweet

[maxwellpassion]

lol the little yellow honker "honk!" I love it hahahahaha

[Morfnblorsh]

Thank you so much for uploading this.

[2199]

Better go on Muary Povich...lol

[uviller]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I have been searching for this clip for years....

[Amar7605]

CHARP!!!

[Romanova2779]

^_^

That takes me back!

[Garrettk41]

Cute clip. Anyone got the clip that comes just before this one?

[ahrien53]

Aw gee, wilkes - you've turned into a grownup!

[zacandtaylorrule]

Haha. I love this one. This guy sounds like John Denver. It could be because he did a lot of Muppet shows, How the heck did TYwo Purple Conkers have One Yellow Honker?

[thekingof8]

The female conker must have been been sleeping around.

[wilkes85]

someone please tell me what the hell is a conker and why they're hitting themselves on the head

[simplecoffee]

They're probably called 'conkers' because they conk themselves on the head. Or vice versa.

[Pikachuiscool]

The yellow honker reminds me of Q-bert. Except that Q-bert is orange. :P

[Smartboy8877]

Who is Q-bert?

[Pikachuiscool]

He's a video game character.

[Smartboy8877]

Thank you for the information!

[Pikachuiscool]

Sure thing. ^_^

[Dishodiwaba]

Heh-heh, that little yellow honker sure is cute!

Who's the father?

[StefanoFan27]

I Still Think That Lil Yellow Honker Is So Cute.

[StefanoFan27]

I Still Think That Lil Yellow Honker Is So Cute And Adorable.

[Jennennett]

hey watch your Language

[deyoungparker]

My little sister got "conked" a lot because of this bit.

[StefanoFan27]

Ouch.

[SockBoy65]

I didn't remember this one until I saw the little yellow honker. :) HAHA

Adorable.

[StefanoFan27]

Cute.

[d72jjpilc]

I remember this, the catchy tune in particular! Some things never die after 30-some years!

[spy4863]

If I was the Daddy Purple Conker I'd be pretty PO'ed that the baby didn't look a thing like me!!

[ClarkieandStephen]

I always luved this growing up!

Thanks for bringing it back!

[zacandtaylorrule]

I think the guy who is singing is either Paul Stokey or John Denver.

[mstatz]

It was DEFINITELY NOT John Denver. I have many of his albums and know his voice very well. I'm not sure about the other guy.

[Brinah]

happy new year!!!! lol

[mstatz]

You too Sweety!

[Garrettk41]

Paul Stookey is from Peter, Paul, and Mary.

[percussin8or]

I liked the Conkers' clip a lot as a kid, even though I didn't know what it meant. Thanks for posting!

[mrrusss]

How callously the conkers' tragic deaths are described. This is reprehensible. Also, if I was the male purple conker, I would shoot my whore conker wife and some yellow honker motherf#@%&r.

[megarouge2001]

lOLOLOLOL. Yellow honker motherf#@%&r. Awesome. I was thinking the same thing.

[CherJovi]

I do remember this and really remember liking it for some weird reason which disturbed my aunt that I did lol

[ayame316]

no its called phenotype vs genotype---while both parents looked the same on the outside they were really Pp and Pp, so the baby they had was the 1/4 chance as a pp and while PP and Pp is the usual purple and tall, pp is yellow and....trumpety. Yeah. Purple konker is classic mendelian dominance, with yellow honker as recessive. SS is teaching preschoolers genetics! Yay~ jk

[DianaDeLuna]

Haha, ayame! While you were thinking Mendel squares I was thinking how the crown of flowers on her veil was pretty. Clearly I'm an intellectual low-life. ;o])

[hibiscusfire]

he he I remember this!!!!

[ThirdOfJune4444]

Aaaaw, what a cute little baby honker! It doesn't matter if he's different than the parents. I'm sure they'll love him just the same. Who knows? Maybe that's how conkers look when they're born. They turn purple, grow fur, and lose their horns probably during puberty.

[2199]

this si the Seame Street I grew up on. Now Elmo's World is a bit of a bore. These are the best of Sesame Street.

[gypsyball]

They should have Elmos World as a separate show.

[2199]

They should go back to the old school Sesame Street. Have old segments like Sesame Street News.

[flowertrue]

I found this disturbing on so many levels when I was a kid. Why did they hit themselves on the head? How come they kept dying? Why didn't they have a kid that was the same species? So many unanswered questions! Whenever it came on I ran away!

[beatbrain]

hahah your comments are funny and true

[cne08]

I bet those guys got a headache from hitting themselves on the head.

[DianaDeLuna]

I'd totally forgotten this one, but now I remember how much I liked the girl conker's veil. I drew that ring of flowers around many a character's head in the myriad picture books I created as a child. Pretty.

[RadAlly]

that conker has been "oopsed!"

[latex123456]

was she artificially inseminated because the kid don't look anything like the parents?

[RassilonSix]

I've been looking for this one! I can remember it clearly from when I was a kid, and I was hoping it would appear on YouTube one day. Thanks for the memories.

[Justdizzy]

Do all purple conkers have such a high mortality rate.....and apperently a low birth rate of purple conkers :(

Add another species to the endangered list :(

[ayame316]

Paternity issues for the last two purple conkers...OOOPS! I'd be a little mad if I was the Dad.

[groonk]

this one always made me sad.

[Akira625]

I wonder how many of us out there watched this as kids, and DIDN'T start bonking themselves in the head, or on someone else's head. :)

[salvaje50]

This is some great ole school trippy sesame st shit right here....I think that George Bush watches this every night and tries it himself in front of the mirror.

[digitaldave1234]

Today this would run with a disclaimer: do not hit yourself on the head.

[PandaMishima]

Unless you are a purple conker of course!

[PandaMishima]

@digitaldave1234

Makes sense. Of course, only a real conker can make that neat "donk" noise when hitting itself on the head :)

[rocknroller111]

mstatz, I subscribed to you after I found this clip. How come the up and coming generation can't enjoy the classics like we did?

[mstatz]

Because huge corporation (that has no idea about the chemistry that made this show great)took it over and trashed all the old stuff, replacing it with new garbage.

[efil4own1]

Didn't that yellow Honker's brother end up on "The Letter People"?

[Wendy313]

Yaaaaaaaaay!! It's the purple conkers!!

[srf1969]

I love this video and this song. I thought it was funny when the conkers were playing in the glue and the guy hung the conker up in the wallpaper.

[thekingof8]

Does anyone know who is singing?

[rocknroller111]

It sounds like Paul Stookey of "Peter Paul and Mary" fame.

[MIKECNW]

Is it possible for us to see the previous clip?

[glowworm2]

For some reson I find the morbid parts to be hysterical. I love the part where one of them gets stuck. Either that little yellow fellow was adopted or Mrs.Purple Conker had an affair with a Yellow Honker! I love the ending where the little guy honks.

[thekingof8]

Maybe they'll have a paternity test done on Maury.

[ISNorden]

4 little stars,

my rating for this clip:

didn't like the killing, but

the ending is a trip! ;)
