The Letter People - Meet Mr. Z

[mrsmileyface71]

I dont think class spent enough time on mr Z. i dont remember him at all.

[bmwscheisse]

Is it me, or does this guy look like Terrence & Phillip?

[spike354]

Wow He does too

[letterpeopleland]

I think he meant what they (the Amish) taught in the original classroom program (if they used The Letter People in the first place).

[Noblefauf]

I always thought the part where Mr. Z zips your back zipper kind of weird...

and what was that in the sky at 0:30?

[guysmileyiv]

Mr. Z will be played by Dennis Miller from SNL.

[culpit]

Mr. Z was the only Letter Person on the show who didn't play The Catching Game.

[bluequeeny69]

I was kind of hoping that would be a Zepplin instead of a ziffer. Oh well...

[stevenrf69]

i like mr z. howd he x-press anger?

[mgabrys]

I think the Amish would take offense at this character. Wonder what they taught?

[steventean]

offense? y?

[Nova1082]

Because the Amish don't use zippers. or buttons. So I guess they'd hate Mr. B.

[efil4own1]

Keep an eye on Mr. Z...only one of his hands was ever visible. Makes me wonder where his other one was, and since his zipping zippers were his trademark...creepy, much?

[KurtKokaine1]

rofl, I can't believe you said that.

[adhfan75]

Oh my I never thought of it that way! Actually back in the day, oh almost 26 yrs ago, I don't think my Kindergarten class ever made it to Mr. Z!

Anyway that whole zeppelin in the video reminds me of the 1995/96 Smashing Pumpkins music video for "Tonight Tonight..." An inspiration? I doubt it, but who knows?

[matochiba]

Yeah, but I wouldn't worry about it. He's been pretty harmless ever since he had that zipper accident.

[Jennafu832]

@efil4own1 Just a tad... You know, unzipping is not something you want to teach to a class of kindergarteners. They might get a little curious and start unzipping themselves and possibly others. Mr. Z wouldn't "fly" in any classroom today, I'm afraid (and it's probably better that way).
