Sesame Street - Peligro!

[Charla1606]

Thanx 4 postin! I missed this 1!

[JMFabianoRPL]

Does someone have the V menuscula skit???

[mardeninthegarden]

So then what does Plata Peligrosa mean? Dangerous Beauty?

[quirpco]

LOL - I love the charred "PELIGRO" at the end, and then you hear this weak little "peligrooooo..."

[douro20]

It also means peril...plural form peligroso

[douro20]

oh I'm sorry I meant adjetive form

[clubpenguin8888]

dear mstatz, i remember one skit i remember that you dont have. its called: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-­14-15-16-17-18-19-20. wer this guy has 4 arms and he is a genie. plz post that vid! i loved it as a baby!!

[whitecrow222]

that's the indian guru one! i loved it too-nice morphing graphics in it......it's posted many times here, in english and spanish!

[cne08]

Isn't there an english version similar to this?

[QuesterLEJ]

I don't know, but it would have sure been appropriate to show a "DANGER" cartoon right after this. "DAN-GER... DANGER!!!!! *BOOM!*" That way viewers could make the connection that that's what "peligro" means "en español."

[GrayEyes123]

Does anyone have the Owl one?

[33chiliken]

I don't recall that one...........can you describe it?

[GrayEyes123]

I haven't seen it in years but from what I remember there is a little bird that is flying. I think it's the owl that keeps saying "peligro" and something else in Spanish that I don't understand. Finally at the end the little bird flies into a wall or something and as he is rubbing his head, he says "peligro". Perhaps someone else will remember more.

[whitecrow222]

that is the one i'm trying to find as well-i remember the owl and the kid....

[Pikachuiscool]

@GrayEyes123 I remember that one. Anyone got it to post?

[33chiliken]

Now I remember. An owl is flying with a sign that says "PELIGRO" And there are different things being shown that are dangerous. The one I recall is a kid riding a bicycle wrong. In the end the owl flies into a sign that says peligro. It took a while but I finally remember. I hope someone can post that.

[d72jjpilc]

Me lo recuerdo muy bien! El ruido que occurre cuando los dos partes de la palabra se encuentran el uno con el otro - nunca me olvido!

[poringmonger]

Scared me too. I used to run screaming out of the room when I saw this (couldn't have been older than five.) I can see some of the wry humor in it now.

"Peli's all 'don't go there!' and Gro's all like, 'dude, you know you wanna!'"

[quirpco]

PELIGRO!!!

[JMFabianoRPL]

Peli! Heh, heh, heh...GRO! One of the best Spanish SS skits ever (right up there with "Ve minisula" and the Peligro Owl)

[soccergurl34928]

i think peligro means "danger". tell me if i am wrong.

[lfrage]

You are NOT wrong. It means danger in Spanish.

[DanaAbel30]

That's right!!! And the way to say "Danger" in Swahili is "Hatari".

[DanaAbel30]

No, you're absolutely right.

[bedrockhead]

Wow, what a BLAST (pun intended) from my past. :)

[dnm728]

I had four years of Spanish in high school, but I learned a few Spanish words while watching "Sesame Street" as well as how to count to 20 in Spanish (from the "guru" short) well before my first high-school Spanish lesson.

[See918]

The way I remember this is after the explosion, the word was gone, am I wrong?

[igetwhatiwant86]

yes

[lfrage]

Truthfully, you are not. I remember this perfectly, and the word was gone after the intense explosion.

[See918]

Thanks very much.

[MeowMonkey]

The only spanish I know that won't get me shot! I always loved the sinister "Gro!" and the weak "Peligro" at the end.

[punyinyunyi]

PELIGRO means "danger"

it is a used word here in the philippines.

we adopted it from the spanish people.

[DanaAbel30]

Because both Philippines & Equatorial Guinea were Spanish territories, right??

[blackolive666]

Does anyone have the clip of the owl that flies through all the dangerous locales (construction site, etc.) and says "Whoo! Whoo! Peliiii-gro!", followed by an explanation (in Spanish) about what is so dangerous about said locales?

[parrjamie]

I've been looking for that too - let me know if you find it

[simon726]

"peligro" is definitely meaning "danger" in spanish. This video clip is really really funny...

[grecomic]

I was waiting for this clip to eventually appear. As a kid, this cartoon's loud yelling and explosions scared the sh*t outta me!

[Alexsmom]

I think "peligro" means "danger". I remember this one - thanks for posting it!

[KingSlifer]

Peligro is spanish for danger.

[KingSlifer]

Peligro means danger in spanish, mstatz

[mstatz]

Thanks!

[sweetlife031]

@mstatz

Yes...this was very obvious to me watching this a child: I caught on right away that "peligro" meant "danger" in Spanish lol...the explosion scared the daylights out of me lol

[kingcjulia]

Peligro means danger.

[mstatz]

Thanks! I took Spanish in high school & in college but still didn't know!

[ISNorden]

THIS is why a lot of the Spanish classics shouldn't have been pulled from Sesame Street: pity the college student who spends spring break in Acapulco but can't read a danger sign!

[jeopardy60611]

@mstatz I had college Spanish and I do find that I pick up lots of new words from the old Sesame Street clips. It's interesting to see the clips that I remember from when I was 3 years old but now I enjoy them in a whole new way now that I can understand Spanish. I suppose that clips like this were thrown into Sesame Street to teach things to kids raised in bilingual homes.

[ISNorden]

"Peligro" means danger...explosions are certainly dangerous, but I understand how that cartoon could give non-speakers of Spanish the wrong idea.
