Sesame Street - Pick Your Pet

[ganalpdo]

actually the girl is lady gaga. so you can see why she likes her "little monsters" now.

[wileyk209zback]

LOL, I love how Baskerville's wearing horn-rimmed eyeglasses (found that out on Muppet Wiki, and when he turns to the side at 3:10 you can see they're glasses)

[123StreetSesame]

sonny friendly?

[Charla1606]

Actually, what's w/Guy's hair?

[traydogwoof]

Awwww....

[Fr33Fisting]

Blindfolding little girls and rewarding them with pets. Not gonna fly in this decade.

[SpaceDan3000]

And then the monster ate the girl. The end.

[pokemon5621]

he must to say it wrong its not sunny it guy smiley sonny must be retired

[Dekobee]

Poor Beautiful Day Monster. :(

[ProfessorIgor]

Beautiful Day Monster was bar-none, the scariest monster on Sesame Street !

[IronPants]

@sonicruler200 -- 1RichardHunt has the answers, but in case we lose his comments, everal muppets went through various changes and that is Guy Smiley with just an earlier name. Cookie Monster and Grover were both green at one point too.

[markshazam]

This sure goes way back. I remember this skit and that his name was sonny and not Guy Smiley. This must have been the first game show skit.

[bowlersinger]

@markshazam It was. His name was Sonny Friendly for this skit only. I was all of ten!

[img921]

Isn't that the same puppet as Praire Dawn or Mary Lou or whatever that sweet little puppet was named?

[TsWade2]

Actually she looks more like Betty Lou.

[img921]

Ah, that's the name! Thanks.

[DracoArum]

I don't recall seeing this before on Sesame Street, but it's a very good way to teach children not to judge others solely on their appearance.

[Mayberryfan01]

I would have picked number 3-without the blindfold!

[1RichardHunt]

I can identify the performers here:

Sonny Friendly, Little Bird - Jim Henson

Announcer, Lucy, Baskerville, Monster - Frank Oz

The two anything muppets would later be renamed in the year. Lucy would later become Betty Lou, and the name of Jim Henson's character was changed to Guy Smiley. The name "Sonny Friendly" was given a decade later to a lavender muppet host performed by Richard Hunt.

[muppetlover16]

@1RichardHunt Wait if Jim and Frank played Betty Lou (Lucy Jones) , Baskerville and Guy Smiley (Sonny Friendly) does that mean Carroll Spinney puppeteered Little Bird and BDM to Jim and Frank's vocal track (Carroll Spinney usually supplied puppetry for the characters Jim and Frank would do)

[muppetlover16]

@1RichardHunt  Why would it matter 1RichardHunt? In the first season there were only three puppeteers (Jim, Frank, and of course Carroll) so it would only make sense that there would have to have been a third puppeteer to perform Little Bird and BDM and that puppeteer would be Carroll, besides Jim and Frank only have two hands each so there is no way that they could perform those contestants sitting in their booths

[1RichardHunt]

@muppetlover16

You're right actually. I was really only paying attention the voices used in the performance.

[kungfujiapple]

This sketch appears on:

"Sesame Street" episode 0067 (February 10, 1970)

"Sesame Street" episode 0573 (January 9, 1974)

[matthew3alex]

The dog sounded like Bert.

[DracoArum]

That's because it's voiced by Frank Oz.

[tifahentai]

Sunny Friendly? I never knew that was Guy Smiley's name first before awesome!

Also the girl sounds like Ms.Piggy probably Jim Henson did her voice.

[ErnieandBert1]

Frank Oz did Miss Piggy, as well as the little girl.

[imetablogger]

Reminds me of a dating game.

[disneyrangerblue02]

Man, that little girl sure is picky.

[kungfujiapple]

From 1969.

[stephengerodnakis2]

0:33 Thats a chuckle.

1:14 what a dumb bitch.

4:28-4:45 is just wierd.

That guy reminds me of Steve Carell.

[38MGA]

Beautiful Day Monster is the perfect pet.

[wiley207]

Baskerville's glasses remind me of Simon's glasses from the Chipmunks!

[glowworm2]

Loved it when the little girl tripped.

[glowworm2]

Ask them questions-kind of sounds like to tell the truth.

[greatguy200]

I really hate beautiful day monster #3 when I was a kid. When he raises his eyebrows up really high, he looks so scary. I still don't like him. I didn't even like the choice she made. Guy Smiley is right, he's a big horrible monster, he could eat her right off.

[wiley207]

I like it when he raises his eyebrows in this skit, because you can tell he seems a bit insulted when he's called a "monster."

[SuperSatan3]

eat her off, or eat her out?

[PandaMishima]

@greatguy200

He could, but he won't, for all his fearsome looks Beautiful Day is also a friendly monster (tho I think he does like scaring Guy Smiley in another sketch.)

[greatguy200]

@PandaMishima How can Beautiful Day be a friendly monster if he likes scaring Guy Smiley and showing his fearsome looks on another sketch with Kermit the frog for the letter "B"? I still don't like the monster after all these years.

[PandaMishima]

@greatguy200

Well. BD isn't my favorite either; still he does keep his scary level in context, more like a little kid who loves to see his mom or sister scream over a rubber spider. When Betty Lou called him beautiful he could be quite friendly. Guess it's how you look at it.

[galaxyhigh73]

I'm sure most people watching this know already, but for those that don't- Frank Oz voices the announcer, Lucy, Doggie, and Beautiful Day Monster (#3).

Hmmm. I wonder if Sonny Friendly was inspired by Buster Friendly? (Google it if you don't get it).

[wiley207]

And Jim Henson voices Guy Smiley/Sonny Friendly (Well, duh!) and Little Bird.

[SuperSatan3]

Lucy looks like Prairie Dawn, but with different hair.

[disneyrangerblue02]

Yeah, and her eyes are different.

[alenight85]

Beautiful Day is so cute :)

[sonicruler200]

i thought it was guy smiley not sunny friendly

[everhopeful89]

I just love the way the monster glowers and glowers, but then when the game show people insult him, he raises his eyebrows up really high. He looks so sad...

[regency98us]

This was the very first game show, from 1970. I always loved this one and remember it well. It teaches us to love and accept one another even though we may not look beautiful to others. Very well thought out skit.

[setheurovision94]

I feel bad for the girl, knowing that the kind of pet she wants is not among those she can choose. But oh, how wonderful it turns out.

[beautifuldayboy]

I like that bit when Baskerville says: ''If you pick me, I'll fetch the newspaper for you!''

[metapod]

If you pick me, I'll chirp for you, how 'bout that.

[Jamiepeavler]

I especially liked the part when the monster acted like a cat!

[tapapuntos]

It's a good video

Thanks sr

[matthew3alex]

"I'm sorry I tripped. I couldn't see where I was going."

[quizmaster85]

The intro sort of reminds me of "To Tell The Truth"

[MadJman4]

Were can i watch the episodes ? i live in england btw

[CarCrazy12804]

People need to keep on posting these great classic Sesame Street clips! With that said does anybody else have the clip with David and the little girl tying her saddle shoe's laces? It just was recently pulled. Please repost it if possible Thanks!

[vidhag900]

I liked the bird. He had kind of an atitude about him. But I can relate to the girl liking the monster.

[neocelestia]

This must be one of the first game show skits. I don't remember ever seeing one where the character wasn't named Guy Smiley. Great skit!

[graperonto]

Many years later, a *second* game-show host muppet came along... and his name became Sonny Friendly. Shorter, fatter... red hair, if I remember correctly.

[Jamiepeavler]

I remember seeing this skit when I was a child. I just don't remember his name being Sonny Friendly instead of Guy Smiley.

[raposofan]

This is one of the funniest skits they ever did!

[muppetlover16]

@raposofan Yeah, btw I love "Sunshine Again" it's like a mix of the old SS and the Electric Company, never seen it though, but I think your show was created by a bunch of Elmo haters, you can't just start putting down Elmo, he kept the show fresh, it's just the fact that his commercialization and popularity took over and made him the star of the show. Ticklish red anything, lol

[NazzyE]

got pulled... from youtube or he tv?

thanx for the upload man...

[NaZ]

[wattamack4]

From Youtube.

[wattamack4]

My god.This got pulled four times!Lets hope it won't get pulled again.

[Deanmo23]

Thanks. How about adding a clip where Kermit talks about between and Herbert Birdsfoot's ET family (three parts).
