Sesame Street: Bill Irwin Break Dances at Bus Stop

[gavrilo2007]

Aren't they just voguing? And if so, doesn't them make them all homer sexuals?

American for Rick Santorum, 2012!

[afriendofbean]

At 1:10 and 1:28, what do those guys mean when they shake their heads saying "no" to Bill Irwin? When they're saying "no" to Bill Irwin at 1:10 and 1:28 does that mean "no, that's not the right way to dance, let me show you?"  When I first saw this skit I thought they were saying "no" to Bill Irwin meaning not to play music and dance in the street.

[afriendofbean]

I love the look on Bill Irwin's face at 1:51 like he was saying "wow, I can never dance like that" and/or like he was saying "wow, he's the best dancer I have ever seen."

beast mode

[OxBigly2010]

@SesameStreet Why did you not include the entire clip?

About half of the people who commented on this video have asked this question.

But a more importantly, why you won't respond to this question?

... or this one

[OxBigly2010]

Why did you chop off the ending????

Also Busting Loose is sampled in there

[qutrg]

I didn't know Clark Kent was in this!

[DaveKarl]

YES! - Been looking for this ever since youtube was founded! Only saw it once as a kid, never forgot it.

[wardrich]

Check the O-R you'll love the O.R!  Lol I loved this clip as a child and the second I heard the song by Organizes Rhyme it gave me flashbacks to this. Lol

[DestroGlobe]

My favorite Sesame street skit of all time.

[Ibringthetruth1]

@DestroGlobe

mine too. he was in one more.

[gunman771000]

Mr Wiggles, Bill Irwin and Leon Chesney are the dancers if I'm not mistaken.

[gunman771000]

I've been looking for this for decades! It's still like I remember it!

[warrenebony]

haha i used to have the dvd and now after like 10 years i remembered the cool hip hop dancers xD

[Longshot3181]

this! was! fantastic!

[totalrandomcrap]

The sample starting at 1:25 is from Kraftwerk's "Home Computer".

[crysjumar1]

and they all missed the next bus.

[SINOJAY]

I have this on tape also, but I have 2 million tapes. I'll never find this short clip. Thought finding it on youtoob was a longshot. Glad I looked, and more amazed that I found it. Love the music they put 2 gether for the seg. Youtoob is freakin awesome man, yeah!!!!

[crysjumar1]

He's so loose. 

[mcht50202]

90s break dance! :D

[hedcmac]

Bill is a very talented actor...I loved him as Cindy Lou Who's father in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" too!

[arm5685]

This is my favorite Sesame Street clip still to the day! I love this clip and wish they'd do a remake now with the same guys. Up dated dance moves. i think it'd be interesting!

[hectorbart]

@arm5685 Yes, I agree, loved this clip since seeing it with my kids some 15 years ago. They left off the last part of it though!

[shydmples]

@hectorbart OMG...I think I still have the full segment on VHS...I hate that the best part was left out when they let the bus pass them buy & went down the street dancing...lol

[hectorbart]

@shydmples Yes, I know! This clip always makes me smile.

[hectorbart]

@shydmples Yes, I know! This clip always makes me smile. I only wish I could dance like that !

[shydmples]

@hectorbart lol...I USED to know how to do that...but I'm an old man now...my bones/joints aren't as strong as they used to be...lol

[hectorbart]

@shydmples Yes, I know! This clip always makes me smile. I only wish I could dance like that!

[ninjastah]

WIGGLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[unclefungus]

FUNK THROUGH CONDUCTION!!! BRILLIANT!!

[vinwonders]

Sweet!

[JeffK1980]

Oh my God... I've been searching for this clip for a long time. It's a shame that the ending was cut when the bus driver closed the door on those three guys. This shit really kicks ass, man!

It would be cool if they were doin' this when they were heading down to the subway station. It would rock even more. Two thumbs up!

[AzinBoiHI]

Wow classic!! miss the old days!

[juliabohemian]

I love Bill Irwin. I swear to God, he hasn't aged a day in thirty years. He looks the same.

[KILLBETTV]

I LOVE HOW SESAME STREET ALWAYS SUPPORTED HIPHOP.....

[Kibbitz]

This brings a smile to my face ever time I watch this.

[radialpukesplat]

joyful as any clip I've watched on youtube

[krelllabs]

Arrggh to think that they used NONE of Bill Irwin's excellence in MY BLUE HEAVEN.

[MrJohnjohn25]

this is tight

[ConnerLives]

I missed my light rail this morning and had to wait about 10 minutes for the next one. I remembered this film and started dancing AND singing Pants on the Ground! Everybody got a real kick out of it!

[rozymisty]

hehe i remember this!!!

[newkidfanalways]

This is a scream.. I had this on tape a long time ago... I taped it when I worked And Me and my brother laughed our asses off... :-) I think I will watch it again...

[KinGofStreetdance]

SOOOOONG???? PLEEEASE!!!!!:P

[djbigsmooth]

mr wiggles from the rock steady crew and the electric boogaloos with the slick hair.

love this segment.

[EssenceOfTruth]

I have this whole thing on tape! OMG! I love these guys! And thats Mr. Noodle in the hat!!

[afriendofbean]

@EssenceOfTruth Yes that's right.  The guy who was Mr. Noodle in this skit was also in skits here on Sesame Street where his name was "Professor Television."

[EssenceOfTruth]

@afriendofbean That is too awesome! ^__^*

[afriendofbean]

@EssenceOfTruth I agree. In case you weren't sure, some of the skits with Bill Irwin named "Professor Television" was where he would demonstrate definition of words without talking. One skit he demonstrated the word "Danger" with a huge sign and trapped himself all around and pointed to the word to say he was in danger of being trapped. A second skit he demonstrated "open", "closed", and "never mind", and the third skit he demonstrated "near" and "far" with Maria talking to him.

[j2lewis]

wow, the memories, lmao, this is funny to watch, idk

[Jennennett]

it did not

[Deathartist666]

Man, the 90's sucked.

[MrMechanical]

thats because you're a retard

[abigailandbaillee]

rofl

[lukewarm2006]

mr shack you are incorrect. just listened to "tramp"

[lukewarm2006]

check the OR!!!!!!

[PsycadelicShack]

Nah, the song is pretty well known. I don't know the name off the top of my head but the song it samples is Tramp by Lowell Fulsom.

[tayalnes]

altaynes . mybrute . com

[multuminparvo]

They weren't break dancing, they were doing the Charleston.

[Rambo786]

I love the internet.

[stewieluvr]

lmao at the end. i freakin love seame street

[lxvlx]

[Kevbox2008]

I remember this from when I was like in Jr High. Yes, I watch Sesame Street when I was in Jr High. :^)

[brightbite]

Whites can't groove without help from a Hispanic and African American, kids. LOL jk

[frankiegamer]

I loved watching this as a kid... Lol.

Brings back memories.

[wheels85]

ah memories. which one was bill irwin?

[BuddyBoy600]

The with the glasses and holding the radio.

[BuddyBoy600]

The guy with the glasses and holding the radio.

[afriendofbean]

@wheels85 The one in the middle who is wearing the hat is Bill Irwin.

[THEGLASSOFMILK2]

that was really random.

[stevenscottoddballz]

What kind of music was playing? What was te NAME of the tune? What were the dances/moves they were doing? Why did he put his hand to the back of his neck a 1:23?

"Bill Irwin"? As in {Ham Gravy, the Old Boyfriend}?

[NEUDude]

I think it was just a piece of music written for this bit.

[Grover1234]

They cut it off at the end of the whole skit. When they tell the Bus Driver to go on because they dance off to work or where ever they were going. Still a good to watch tho.

[afriendofbean]

@Grover1234 Yes, I remember that. It's too bad the ending was cut off. I guess they decided to walk and dance to work as you mentioned or, maybe they skipped work and just stayed on the sidewalk and danced.

[Maryammmm]

Too. Good.

[BUTTONBICHON]

WHAT YR WAS THIS

[Artist5421578]

[Nockyout]

[wisher901]
