  • 9 quarters? That's $2.25. That's enough for an NYC bus ride.

  • OMG 9 hates!

  • aren't those kids singing fantastic?

  • Love Ralph the dog in this!!

    

  • Nine dislike votes (none of them mine, thank goodness),,,coincidence? Some kids must have hated the heck out of Sesame Street back in the early years...*sigh*

  • CLASSIC. 9 9 9 9 lets sing the song of 9 how many is 9?

  • Oh my goodness the baker at the end. have not seen that in like over 25 years-maybe 30.

  • This was before Elmo ruined Sesame Street.

  • These just bring back so many wonderful memories. As the world gets ishier and ishier, I realize what a wonderful childhood I had, and these videos make me happy and sad that the time of playing outside and not being scared of being stolen is long gone. I remember my mom ringing the bell when it was time for supper, and sitting on the curb and just talking with the neighbor kids for hours. Caddyshack was considered risque. What a terrific time to be a kid....

  • @HillaryLeigh1

    How true !

  • Those pulsating, odd colored number sequences have marked me for life.

  • That is Rowlf the Dog (from the Muppet Show) who counts the nine lights.

  • I never noticed that was rolf.

  • This sure brings back a lot of memories. The man that opens the ? box later played Lt. Wyatt on Guiding Light!

  • Awww, Brian was so cute. Now he looks like a blonde version of Jim!

  • "NINE...COCONUT CUSTARD...PIES!!"

  • How does Rowlf turn his head 180 degrees without breaking his neck? (9 lights)

  • @JGCooney Good question, I'll bet he'll need to see a chiropractor :P

  • I'll bet that after the tenth and final episode, the baker must have been in the hospital singing "ELEVEN...PRESCRIPTIONS OF...DEMEROL".

  • @bearpaw72 ROFL :)

  • @bearpaw72  cute

  • @bearpaw72: Boy, would I love to see THAT on Robot Chicken or Mad TV!

  • Just try to buy anything in a restaurant now-a-days (2/7/2011) with 9 quarters ($2.25)!

  • the creepy trapdoor guy always made me laugh

  • Well, well, well, looks like the bosley twins (derrick and eysa) moved on with another person to pick a fight with. Gemini, Ignore these fools! Do not waste your breath with them because they're scam artists. Their purpose is to pick fights to drive their traffic to their crappy BidRollers site. They'll be banned from YouTube in no time, and Karma's a bitch!

  • @MooseShady Stop avoiding me moose doo doo biiiitch. You started something you can finish. Y.T. will see you started this mess and we're just finishing it. Go ahead and attack our website but remember this. We have some we own. You and that limpdikk poodle dont own shiat.

  • @MooseShady That prepaid bs legal insurance you morons are selling is a weak azz product. Explain to everyone on here why they pleaded no contest to fraud. You just like him thought you were going to punk us like everyone else until we rolled over your biiiitch azz until you decided like a lil biiitch to report us to Y.T. We never got sued for being a scam but that bs prepaid leave-em company did. Hahaha azz-hole see you at the bottom.

  • @MooseShady Unlike the company you work for we don't have the SEC up our ass and getting into constant law suits. The company you work for has been pleading guilty no contests to fraud since 1997 and counting. Your company bids against associates and expects them to lose and takes their money to buy back their own stock to feel important. Last time I checked attorneygod does not accept money so how is it a scam when its an Info site. You lost you bitter old fuck. Moose Antler Bitch

  • @MooseShady You thought we we're just average people that let people like you get away with disrespecting us for no reason. Report this numb nuts. You lost the battle now climb in to your prepaid cardboard box and eat a phat dikk with spikes on it and choke to death. I guess Gem, The Limpdikk, Poodle is your lil biiiitch. We're hangeing him on a tree branch from his leash and punching that pinata in the stomach until we see yogurt snack s fall out.

  • @MooseShady Phuck you and that lying azz prepaid leave-em insurance company. Despite our strong language anyone visiting attorneygod will know we're not a scam. We exposed that biiitch azz company that continue to steal money from innocent people. We care about people that's why bidrollers was created. Like I said phuck you and that scam azz company you represent.

  • @MooseShady Jack-Nut-Moose-Shady is a sniiitch azz biiiitch azz homo-spien that sells his wife puzzy for one dollar with that legal insurance plan. Gum my dikk biiiitch and lick the spit off my hairy nut sacks you phucking hoer. Now cut my nut hairs with false teeth and dont pinch my black skin because Derrick will have to choke a biiitch.

  • @derrickjenkins Bite it till it bleeds

  • @derrickjenkins These two can't battle comedians. Yeah we diss but with diss with knowledge with adult language. Hurbert and Mooseshit take everything too seriously. I guess both of their pacemakers shorted out and need to perform mouth to mouth on each other to keep each other ticking cause God knows they can't afford the batteries.

  • @MooseShady Hahaha we're having fun clowning azz clowns that try to clown us. Get it. We're honest people and everyone knows you dont phuck with comedians similar to dave chappelle. We can get our point across while exposing the truth. If we hated people so much then why are we exposing corrupt companies that phucked over people like us. Fix your pace maker and get a life. You met your admit it and move on.

  • A 50 year old man looking at children now thats fucked up. I hope the city he lives in has him registered as a sex offender because he has that written all over him. I guess his name says it all he lures little kids in by telling them he has two dogs and then snatches them in their snatch and assholes. He is the man that walks around in his bathrobe flirting with the local paperboy. He is mad he got his dick cut up by the front page so he is on here promoting our business. Thank you

  • @esya1987 sounds like you love in getting off of sniffing bungholes for pleasure. No wonder you and derrick are desperate for attention so people can direct traffic to that Attroney God/BidRoller scam of yours. Not working

  • @GeminiDogg All you can say is scam when attorneygod does not accept money. LOL you illogical bastard I can't believe a free site can irk you so much. Oh you mean bidrollers a site dedicated to control the market and give average people the opportunity to buy products they normally couldn't afford? Your fake as hell along with your butt buddy Moosejuice. You are probably licking his old saggy nuts with his aged hairy sweat. Hey normally aging is a good thing but in this case it just spoils

  • @GeminiDogg Yeah next your gonna say nothing is in our store well no shit Sherlock. Chase Manhattan told us to put up only a few products until they give us the green light to put up thousands. Your just a bitter old bastard that has nothing else better to do than look at children having fun. You sick bastard Crucify my server in your mouth. Time to take old yeller out to the back and shoot him and put him out of his misery him and his twin. Whats the matter the nursing home beating you up.

  • Gum in my dog is hubert from family guy. He goes around the neighborhood telling little boys to play a game. Who ever can drink the most Tylenol PM wins. Gum in my dog and Slapnut Moose Shady mated and now they call their hideous creation of a gum in my ass moose juice. No one mentioned the PPL word he mentioned. We mentioned Pre Paid Leave'em because we have never heard of that company he mentioned. That funonion eating bitch. He will never get the last word in.

  • @esya1987 You must be derrick's little bitch I see. When I crucify this cry baby friend of yours, you're next.

  • @GeminiDogg Crucify my hairy nutz in yo mouth. You can't cry because my nut hairs is stuck in your jizz pipe.

  • @GeminiDogg Nope your my bitch and anyone else who disses us. You crucify me? Bitch you wouldn't know which end of the nail to use to crucify anyone. I guess Sesame Seed Street and elmo the emo needs to show your ass how its done. Hey Hubert are you mad you can't con the neighborhood kids to drink Tylenol PM so you can have your way with them you dirty pedophilia old bastard. Jizz in my eye dog whats the matter you saw info on our site you don't like which by the way is free. Scam my ass

  • I love Sesame Street brought to you today by the letters A and F and by the number #9. LOL!

  • @GeminiDogg I can't believe I'm dealing with another 50yr old meddling in my business like that moose doo doo homo. This sour nut mangy mutt flea infested dog still living with his mother eating all her funions and shiiit wanna start something with me. Don't make me hang your biiitch azz like michael vick. Open your cavity infest mouth so I can fix your shiiit. I have lots of lyrical ammunition to spray your dog sack liking azz with.

  • Comment removed

  • @GeminiDogg Gem, the limpdikk, poodle spend his time protecting a company he'll never own while people like me own will always own a business. This limpdikk poodle is only good for licking the salt off his balls while eating his wal-mart brand food. Sniffing and Licking balls is your job. Stick to it. Keep those corporate kokks in your gummy jizz-hole and prey you don't become jobless.

  • Holy Shit! You're more sorry than I thought. What are you gay or something? Plus I ain't 50 ass-wipe, which shows how much of a dumb ass loser you really are. No one wants to hear about your stupid ass bidrollers, Pre-Paid Legal, and your funions. The fuck out of your here before you ass come up missing.

  • @GeminiDogg I guess Genini Road Kill Homo need to take his pills. You better call that moose doo doo biiitch for some legal insurance to write out your last words on a will because you won't get the last here. Moose doo doo biiitch must have scratched your azz with his antlers now you think you can phuck with us. You're better off on punishment with your 90yr old mother.

  • @GeminiDogg Old azz taking all those pills now he's fating out his dikk and pizzing out of his azz. Here's some wipes to help cool moose doo doo biiitch antler scratches on your azz.

  • @GeminiDogg Gem, The LimpDikk, Poodle eating Oodles and Noodles. Wipe your Jizz hole and show some manners you gummy slut hoer, LimpDikk Basturd. Get off the internet before your 90 yr old mommy punish you; You hoer azz he biiiiiitch.

  • @GeminiDogg Well I guess you have a battle on your hand mangy mutt. This 50 yr old limpdick basturd eating walmart brand food think he can bark at anyone on line without paying the price. Yeah sit your biiiitch azz home letting your 90 year old grandma read you little red ridding hood while she feed your old azz jello. I guess this mangy mutt tried defending that moose doo doo biiitch now his azz is running like the dog pound is looking for him. Go snack on your viagra and eat a fat dick.

  • @derrickjenkins Gum in my dog must be a Molester like Mr. Rogers. Whats a 50 year old man looking at children for?

  • Burn in hell prepaid leave-em. I expose that bs company and its fake azz associates on our website attorneygod. Wheres that Moose Doo Doo Biiiitch. That prepaid hoer.

  • @derrickjenkins Hey asshole, take your bullshit obsession about MooseShady somewhere else. Nobody wanna hear about it.

  • @GeminiDogg Listen here mangy mutt take your crabby azz somewhere else before we lyrically phuck you up on here. That moose had to learn the hard way when he picked a fight with me on other videos. I don't want to battle you unless I have to. This is your last warning.

  • @derrickjenkins Oh you wanna do battle with me? Let tell you something punk, you don't intimidated me! I'm the last mutha fucker you wanted to messed with. You probably one of those wack ass bitches that has no life, be on computer 24/7, probably cannot get a girlfriend, have a dick which probably a size of a sewing needle, and ugly as hell too! BTW, that MooseShady dude must had got your dandruff up, just to put a blast on that your wack-ass BidRoller crap biz.

  • @derrickjenkins Now take your sorry ass somewhere else with that bullshit.

  • @GeminiDogg Gem, the limpdikk, poodle decided he want to interfere in a conversation that had nothing to do with him. Then this limpdikk poodle assumes we're talking about a company he's in love with. Dissing my bidrollers business is an understatement coming from a nobody that doesnt own shiiiit. My goal is to help people but I'll put a mutha fucka in place if they get out of line. Other than you slaving for prepaid legal what do you own.

  • Nice try baker! No workman's comp for that fall. FAIL. lol

  • best memories ever!

  • at least the baker isn't wearing a skimpy outfit.

  • i remember pies but not the number

  • YA for Rolf!

  • Far out! Rowlf the Dog in one of his very limited appearances on Sesame Street!

  • I remember this one thankyou

    Seeing the chef fall down the stairs

  • I wonder what age group the singing kids were? And also what they're up to now? I'm sure they'd be in their forties now.

  • The boy with the piggy bank's voice changes from high-pitched excitement to low-pitched boredom matching the total value of coins.

    Don't believe me? Start with "Baker #9" first, then go to "Baker #5" second, then "Baker #7" third and "Baker #1" last.

    All those segments have money matters.

    9 QUARTERS!!! = $2.25

    5 dimes! = $0.50

    7 nickels. = $0.35

    1 penny... = $0.01

  • guy with mice looks like a perv

  • y does baker's voice sound like Ernie?

  • @04chacha because it's Jim Henson

  • Ever notice how at 1:05 the guy shoos one mouse away from the nearest corner?

  • Were any of these co-produced in another language? I mean the baker series.

  • i like this one cuz of rowlf

    i dont like it cuz i drives me crazy that it goes all the way up to 9 and there is no 10.... weird huh? like i NEED the 10. i feel incomplete

  • Was the baker crying at the segment of 9 when he dropped the pies? I also noticed Rolf of the Muppet Show was on the 9 lights. Anybody know who the other performers were, like that old man who was the professor on the squares/circle/triangle, the black guy, and also those kids?

  • The "9 quarters" boy was none other than Jim Henson's son Brian. Not sure of the other 2 men, but they were in other baker segments as well ex: The black man in "2 hats". I don't know about the 9 noodles girl...

  • I just LOVE the electronic sound design! Peace.

  • isn't the baker the voice for ernie

  • Yes!  It is the voice of Jim Henson, who does the voice of Ernie, Kermit and Guy Smiley.

  • And of course of Rowlf, who makes his one and only Sesame Street appearance here.

  • @mstatz Search character ch0116392 on imdb. Apparently Alex Stevens was the stunty chef (not Frank Oz, as I had decided) :D

  • @mstatz and Rowlf the dog in this sketch saying 9 lights. (after 9 nails).

  • Respond to this video... Did Brian Henson get to keep the 9 quarters?

  • @JGCooney Or you mean $2.25. .25 X 9 = 2.25

  • @betamax75a Time to head to the arcade. lol

  • 9 QUARTERS. I'm LOADED

  • Yeah, well, remember that these were made in 1969--$2.25 (nine quarters) back then would be like $22.50 today. That's decent change for a kid.

  • Wow Rowlf the dog! Awesome.

  • This brings back so many memories. Like getting a seizure at 0:23.

  • Although I feel bad for the baker in all of these videos, I'm especially heartbroken by his childlike pouting and weeping at the end.

  • Rowlf was a regular performer on "The Jimmy Dean Show" - predates Sesame Street by quite a bit, I think - there are some vids on YouTube

  • Happy 9/9/09!

  • lol, omg, that baker is such a clumsly ox, Someone Should still shout, "WATCH OUT BAKER!!", whenever he starts to come down the stairs.

  • The baker looks sort of li Chet from emergency. Sounds like him too

  • There should have been 3 mice. With their eyes poked out. D=<

  • I think that guy might wish those were gerbils instead of mice!!

  • Bill Barretta took over as Rowlf the Dog starting in 1996 on "Muppets Tonight" episode 2 featuring special guest star Garth Brooks.

  • I was going to ask if that was Rowlf The Dog from the Muppet Show. Jim Henson is definitely Rowlf's voice.

    I don't know who took over voicing Rowlf after Mr Henson died because I know the voice just wasn't the same after he died.

  • Honestly,I think this might be Rolf's earliest Appearance.I remember seeing these in '77,and even then they had an "older," feel.Anybody know what year these were filmed?

  • the whole baker series was from '69

  • Rowlf's earliest TV appearances were on "The Jimmy Dean Show", and in Canadian commercials for Purina Dog Chow (with another Muppet dog, a dachshund named Baskerville who would also appear on "The Muppet Show"). One of the first ideas for Rowlf's name was "Barkley", which was later used for a Muppet dog on "Sesame Street".

  • yes

  • This brings back childhood memories, jeez where did my youth go?

  • Ahh! I used to run screaming out of the room when the chef came on towards the end. Very sensitive child. It's still kinda scary...

  • Thanks for sharing, what great memories. My kids think I'm crazy as i sit here giggling!

  • Is there a Baker #1?

  • 9 noodles are not even enough to feed a child, especially today!

  • Woah... WHOOPS !!!

  • 9 9 9 9 let's sing a song about 9. How many is 9?

  • 9 quarters? That's a lot of money for Matthew Henson--more than his royalties from The Muppet Show. He could almost buy a gallon of gas with that!

  • Hore than that now, pal!

  • I find it ironic that Rolf was with Kermit in the test pilot then after thi s he was never shown on the show again. You can find the pilot on Sesame Street old school DVD.

  • I've got 9 quarters. Plus.

  • i wish i had 9 Quatres :(

  • I remember watching this and wondering why rolf was on sesame street.

  • IS that Rowlf?

  • yeah, I meant rowlf! yay! woo hoo! someone who knows what I'm talking about.

  • Do you know if that was Buck Owens opening the door to "9 Mice"?

  • you mean buck owens from hee haw buck owens? LOL you've got a good eye.

  • @stevenscottoddballz no it's not Buck Owens.

  • @MooseShady

    Aw, SHUCKS! It sure LOOKS like him, though! Thanks for letting me know.

  • @stevenscottoddballz looks can be deceiving though. My Brother thinks he saw Soupy Sales in a commercial walking with a sexy model. The problem was he's was too ugly. LOL!

  • @MooseShady BTW, I met Soupy in New York back in the 80's. He was a great man. R.I.P. Soupy

  • @MooseShady LOL!

  • I like how the baker gets food all over him, however when he reaches the bottom of the stairs, he appears clean !

  • The baker never learned did he? He couldn't go down the stairs with 4 pies, so why the heck did he try it with 9?

  • Sesame Street wasn't just great for educating kids, it also gave them something to laugh about. I think that's why so many people, myself included, remember these "clumsy baker" clips so fondly.

  • I love how Jim Henson's son is so excited over 9 quarters. Then again... it WAS a lot of money in the early 70's, now it doesn't even buy a loaf of bread!

  • I bet Brian got to keep these quarters too, lucky boy!

  • How time flies.

  • @snuffereet

    9 quarters isn't even enough for a single city bus fare in the city where I live (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan). A one way bus fare is $2.75! Can you believe it???

  • @Pocockable Well i live in las Vegas, it costs 8 quarters for the bus here. so I'd be happy with the extra quarter for the bubble gum machine!! :D

  • @Pocockable

    It only costs me 50 CENTS on our bus!

  • @stevenscottoddballz

    What city do you live in?

  • @Pocockable

    Canandaigua, New York  14424

  • Man, that was a messy one. This baker craacks me up!

  • IMDb says that a stunt man named Alex Stevens was the one who played the hapless baker.

  • NINE COCONUT CUSTARD PIES...whoop! LOL

  • Hey mstatz I forgot to say that Sesame Street would never air these skits now because parents today don't want to be responsible for their kids and would probably blame Sesame Street if their kids got hurt falling down the stairs immitating the baker.

  • Society has become so gutless over the last 15 to 20 years!

  • Right on, brother!

  • Yep. It's a lot of parents not wanting to take responsability for what their kids are doing. Blame television if your kid gets maimed or killed because of something that they saw on TV.

  • @mstatz Thats why classic humor has died!

  • @mstatz Agreed, society needs to toughen up, I used to imitate the baker as a kid does. It didnt hurt , I have brain damage tho! Lol.

  • @cne08

    I always wondered if they still showed that segment! I liked it when I was little, and I think I was more careful on our stairs because of it!

  • @kyarimaresuki

    The Number Song series haven't aired regularly on Sesame Street since 1988.

  • Thanks for posting this mstatz. The baker skits were my favorite skits on Sesame Street. Until I was about 12 I lived in a house that had an upstairs and I used to stand on the second or third step from the bottom with my hands empty and Iwould fall down the stairs like the baker did.

  • that was ernies voice

  • The baker is not Jim Henson, it was Jim's voice...

  • I too, remember this vividly, because of Rowlf's appearance. When I was 4 or 5, I would get "Sesame Street" in the morning and syndicated episodes of "The Muppet Show" at night, so imagine my surprise when I saw Rowlf on "Sesame Street"!

    And I agree, he should've made more appearances on the show. I could see him in Kermit's place during the Don Music segments. Although here's some unique trivia: in the "Muppet Babies" segment of "Muppets Take Manhattan", Rowlf's playing with a Big Bird doll.

  • NINE LIGHTS - that's Rowlf all right! That line sticks out the most as I fondly remember this and all of the other Baker clips.

  • Was this Rowlf's only appearance on Sesame Street? Would have been interesting to see how he would interact with the Sesame Street residents if he were a permanent addition to the show. Even better, Joe Raposo could've made a special on-screen appearance, and have a nice little jam session with ol' Rowlf.

  • For years, I always thought the Baker was played by Christopher Loyd.  But now I realize that was Jim Henson himself. I mean, you can hear the Kermit in his voice even. Thanks for the memory. :)

  • Man, those flashing numbers at the start have got to cause some seizures!

  • It's a miracle the baker didn't break his leg or something. Especially considering that he did it TEN TIMES!

  • Why did the baker always fall? I'm glad i found this, havent seen it in 35 years.

  • This is a perfect example (especially at the beginning) of how not even "educational" shows like this one could avoid succumbing to psychidelia and trippiness. You have to wonder if the show producers had to resort to drugs to come up with stuff involving numbers and letters.

  • Not me...about the drugs.

  • Remember this as kid to this day, and thought it was the funniest thing with the baker busting his ass down the stairs with the pies! Nostalga lane

  • 9 quarters!! Yay!! Now you can go buy yourself a decent haircut.

  • Bad baker! You wasted perfectly good pies! Go to your room!

  • He didn't waste them on purpose; it was an "accident". Poor guy.

  • Yeah, notice he is crying at the end?

  • Who can blame him? If I had accidentally ruined that many desserts, I'd cry, too.

  • My fave Muppet's in this--long before he tickled the ivories on the Muppet Show! Did I say "9 lights!"

  • I remember seeing this segment when "The Muppet Show" was still running (as a little kid), and I was gobsmacked by seeing Rowlf on television during the day!

  • it was at 1:15. but still, the change doesn't fall out the top slot that easy.

  • at 1:18, money (coin-wise) doesn't fall right out of the piggbank's top slot just like that! you have to take the hammer to it.

  • AWSOME!!!!! Rowlf made a apperanced on Sesame Street!!!!!

  • I'll never forget one time a "Double Play" happened to me. Following that segment was the Umbrella lady! And with that, I got the crap scared out of me, my brother cheered & cried "whoop-Whoop-WHOOP!" (ala Price Is Right when Grand Game's won), ran to my bedroom crying & scared, didn't come out until "Hollywood Squares".

  • PS:  It also scared the 1st life out of me!

  • One down, 8 lives to go.

  • Mr. Baker needs to find new employment! How many cakes and pies has he destroyed?

  • 55!

  • Is it just me, or has this sketch - particularly the part with the baker - been burned forever into my mind?

  • 9 mice? Somebody better call Orkin! :)
