omg, I loved the man! I never missed an episode! And yes, I remember the infamous show where he told us kids to go into the next room, and remove those crinkled up, green pieces of paper with the pictures of the old men on them. LOL! There were a lot of stupid kids who actually DID that, thankfully, I was not one of them. I knew that was stealing. But that was the end of our beloved Soupy Sales. :( Saw him perform at the Old Rahway Theatre back in the early 90's. He was just adorable!
What, no Count Dracula? "Hi Count" "one two three" says Count. Beautiful slapstick humor, including many tributes on the radio to Yiddish humor. A tribute to Molly Goldberg. I loved White Fang and Black Tooth. Arrr arrrar. Everyone on the set was having a great time. Miss you Soupy.
SirWolfgaar, the sloppiness is the whole beauty of the thing. This was live or taped live stuff with a shoestring budget. Funny is funny regardless of the situation. Soupy was a most funny fellow till the end. Saw him at Caroline's in NYC in the late 80's or 90's and cracked everyone's shit up! I love this guy and that old school basic humor is just not done anymore. At least not often enough.
Holy crap, that sucked. You could hear long awkward pauses where they hoped to get a laugh and didn't. I love old classic comedy, but it's no great wonder that his best work was on the Match Game. What a terrible waste of black and white film.
The song by Pookie at the end about his neighbor beating his wife and his Super getting tight, I think would have a tough time slipping past Standards and Practices today..LOL!!! Especially on a supposed kiddie show...
What happened to all the videos from the Soupy Sales Channel. They disappeared either Wednesday, 04/26/2011 or Thursday, 04/27/2011. They were all New York, WNEW B&W's.
@143AC Hmm...Sometimes the Mighty Boosh tries to do a type of surrealism like this.. and this and Peewee's Playhouse are practically the same xD But I couldnt resist checking this out, I LUV surreal shows :)
Love ya, pookie!

Maybe he didn't know it at the time, but Soupy was teaching us that adults could have a childish sense of humor. A tremendously funny man.

I had the privilege of seeing Soupy live on stage about 20 years ago and he was funnier than ever.

He was the best I was in high school when he was on TV and I never missed his show.
The best line ever was " Grandma can't cook but she sure can make that banana cream"
