On December 24 at 8 o'clock in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Johnson was found dead. Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death. His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened. Turns out he was still signed in myspace. She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repose a chain letter. If you don't repose this to six videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. sorry don't want to to die
@SholomGootzeit Actually Charlie Chaplin came up with the FIRST mirror skit (at least on screen, not sure about stage or anything). He did it in 'The Floorwalker'. It was a little different but cartoons and comedians alike have been mimicking it for years. :)
Does anyone have the Charlie Chaplin clip for "Walk/Don't Walk" where he's just sitting on the bench reading the paper, blowing his nose, and even dancing at one point, waiting for the stubbern sign to change to Walk, and when he can't because of the sign and the off-screen traffic, he decides to put a black cover on top of the "Don't", so he's happy and can walk. he takes about 4 tries before then, and as quickly as it changes to Walk, it changes back to Don't Walk.
I remember that skit, and I would love to see it again.
Plus, I would love to see the Charlie Chaplin skit where he was out in the cold with a snowman which had a scarf and a winter hat where Charlie Chaplin took them both off the snowman and put them on himself for a few minutes/seconds just to get warm. Then after a while, he took them both off of him and both of them back on the snowman and left (I can't remember whether he left in a face pace moment or not).
This is more of a Marx Brothers skit, than a Charlie Chaplin skit. Just search "Marx Brothers Mirror Scene," (that is what the video clip will say) and you'll see what I mean.
Don't get me wrong both Charlie Chaplin and The Marx Brothers were both good back then. I'm glad that Sesame Street showed these kind of skits to our generation, since Jim Henson did grow up with Charlie Chaplin and The Marx Brothers along with many other things from the Golden Age of movies and films.
I seem to recall this, especially the "Me" part with the close-up of Maria as Chaplin, but I never recalled her mouth moving at any time. Maybe I was just too busy focusing on the word "me".
Yes, Maria and Linda are both Charlie Chaplin on this skit. They were even on two other skits together with Maria as Charlie Chaplin. The first skit was when Maria/Charlie Chaplin was in a museum with paintings where he/she saw a painting of a woman (Linda) where Maria/Charlie Chaplin loved the woman (Linda). The other skit was where Maria/Charlie Chaplin were both boyfriend/girlfriend having a picnic in a movie demonstrating feelings where Ernie and Bert were watching them in the movie.
Does anyone have these Sesame Street Charlie Chaplin skits where he/she tries to throw a newspaper in a wastebasket in a room which keeps changing it's spot in the room, and the skit of Long Suspenders, and the skit where he/she tries putting clothing in top and bottom drawers, and the skit where he/she tries crossing a street where it constantly says "Don't Walk" when he/she never got a chance to cross the street? If anyone has one or all of these skits, can you please add it to YouTube?
Yeah. I also thought for a while that it was Michael Jackson doing this Charlie Chaplin skit. But no, it was Maria and Linda. Still, I would have never thought of that it was Maria who dressed up as Charlie Chaplin in all of those different skits. I hope that more of the Charlie Chaplin skits from Sesame Street will be posted onto YouTube sometime soon.
when I saw this as a kid I thought that was Michael Jackson(or a guy that looked like him) impersonating Charlie Chaplin but I never thought it was actually two women (maria and Linda)
That's so funny. I was afraid of these skits too. There was one in particular where I remember she went running right through a wall. Does anyone remember that? I used to cry and scream when I saw that. These always creeped me out when I was like 3 or 4 years old.
Haha, it's funny to find that other people used to be terrified of those skits too. My mom would have to change the channel because I would start screaming..
Yes, I was also scared of all the Charlie Chaplin skits on Sesame Street because there was one sandwich commercial with Charlie Chaplin (I don't if it was the real Charlie Chaplin or someone dressed like him) where he was eating a sandwich while making an angry face toward the camera which scared me and never smiled on the commercial, and most of the Charlie Chaplin skits Maria does on Sesame Street is where she makes the same angry face toward the camera with hardly any smiling.
They creeped me out too. I thought I was the only 1. I donno why they scared me. It was probably because of the way he acted & never talked just made him look unhuman. But if I had known that was Maria in that costume, I never would have turned my head away when those came on. Does anyone have a copy of the skit when Charlie is in a movie that Bert and Ernie were watching in a theater? Charlie was on a picnic with a lady friend. Does this ring a bell to anyone?
No, when this sketch aired in Season 7, and subsequent several airings after that, there was originally no music. It was designed to be a silent clip, otherwise why would Sonia and Linda have lip-synched the word "me"? It seems that music has been added to keep with the trend of "sweetening" famous sketches; that is, adding music to pieces that originally didn't contain them.
Yes, if you saw this clip with no sound, then that's the way it was originally broadcast. By the way, I have to correct myself; I meant to say that this was first shown in Season 8, not Season 7 as I previously wrote. Sorry!
Yeah, I saw this all the time as a tot in the late 80s, and I had no idea it was originally dead silent until recently.
I know people tend to say things like this all the time and it gets kind of old, but in this case I think it's true---they would never make it that way today. They wouldn't trust kids (or anyone, for that matter) to tolerate a LONNNNG stretch of silence like that. (I'm kind of surprised they even did then.)
I have the silent version in a 1986 episode, on which the clips that come both before and after it (can't recall what they are at the moment) are ALSO almost completely silent, by chance. Think about it--that's almost five straight minutes of dead quiet. On TELEVISION. How weird is that?
BTW I'm guessing the reason these Chaplin skits had a longer life than most other '70s skits with the human cast is becuase Maria was obscured under that costume, and her aging would be less obvious.
That's Linda in the mirror, because she signs "Thank you" and Maria signs "Your welcome."

I think Maria (Sonia Manzano) was the third actress ever to played the Charlie Chaplin Lil' Tramp character next to Lucille Ball & Gloria Swanson.
