Sesame Street - Farley and Your Mind

[vidhag900]

Farley's cutout shape in the wall is what used to scare me.

[MrMetalmanRock]

You know, when I heard the last few bangs on the door, and Herry crashed through it, knocking it down, that's when I was like, "Holy crap!" 'Cause that made me jump!

[Pocockable]

This goes to show that no matter how scary someone looks, he can actually be quite harmless and nothing to be afraid of.

[IJustWatchEm71]

It wasn't so much the loud pounding at the door that scared me as a kid, but the way they did the Farley-shaped hole in the wall.

[MisterBIGM0UTH]

This was scary, but not scary enough to make me run out of the room. The Crack Master on the other hand....

I'm a huge fan of Jerry Nelson. I like him as Robin the Frog and Gobo from Fraggle Rock.

[mrkingofkings]

Notable fact: Both Farley and Harry Monster are both potrayed by Jerry Nelson, who also potrays Count von Count.

[Billyjk72]

as well as Scred from SNL.

@mrkingofkings

During the time that Sam the Robot was on the show, he played that part as well.

It looks like herry threw poor Farley.

[jpted23]

I remember everytime this skit came on I would run out of the room and hide. They must have taken a huge ammount of criticism in those days

[zacandtaylorrule]

I love this. totally remember it. Have not seen it in thrity years.

[Smartboy8877]

@zacandtaylorrule

I also remember this one from thirty-plus years ago!

[LamangoKaijura]

Lol. I think Herry was knocking louder, is because Farley, lets face it, took too dang long to answer the door!

[dangard88]

This scared the BEJEEZUS out of me when I was a kid!

[hoopersghost]

Welcome to the club; every time that clip came on in a rerun, I would ask my folks to change the channel!

[kungfujiapple]

From 1970.

[d72jjpilc]

Oh, the things you can do with your mind...

PLANNING to watch Sesame Street clips on YouTube,

IMAGINING how much fun you can have while doing so,

REMEMBERING the good old days of Sesame Street, and

HOPING that you'll get to see more great clips from this era! And I HOPE I won't have to run through a wall!:) Thanks greatly!

This is actually by request to username, Sesamestreet.

At first Herry knocks gently, but then makes rough scary knocks. He must really wanted to play with Farley.

[afriendofbean]

That's true. Herry must've been extremely anxious to play with Farley. If that was true, then I guess Herry should've asked Farley that when he broke down the door and came inside. All Herry was doing was holding Farley's arms from behind him. (Maybe the reason why Herry didn't saying anything to Farley when he was talking is because, he probably didn't want to interupt Farley when he was talking to the audience which is why he didn't ask him if he wanted to play).

[Dantecat0618]

Wow Great Find along with the whole entire audio.Thanks for posting another classic.

[Ziffel67]

I remember this from the early 70's. A real lost treasure indeed!

Pretty scary skit for little children.

Hilarious line, "...my dollies and me!"

Farley's mom will be upset when she gets back from Aunt Mildred's and sees the front door and the wall!

And Herry wiping his nose at the very end? Heh, they just don't make em' like this any more!

[afriendofbean]

You're right "my dollies and me" sounds like a funny line. Maybe one of the dollies that Herry was talking about was his doll "Hercules." (Hercules has been in some skits with Herry).

I know in another skit, Herry had a toy ball which he left alone, and Ernie found it where Herry kept interogating in an angry way to Ernie what he knows about the ball. At the end when Herry said that it was his ball, Ernie ran away (just like Farley here) where he wanted to play catch with Ernie.

[jonnytbirdzback]

I've seen this from a Season 13 episode. But the quality was bad and there were several dropouts during the clip. Nice to see this in good quality!

[jonnytbirdzback]

Sound dropouts that is.

[654zns]

Nver heard of this clip. A real lost treasure.
