[PandaMishima]

It might be a bunch of thumbtacks!

love that line!

they'd be rather painful to eat

[Maskedmutant]

@PandaMishima I'm sure they'd have a rather sharp flavor

Does Cookie Monster pop a boner when he hears that there are 10 cookies?

[Blondiechickie1972]

@Rattapax hahaha i think so :)

[DrThunder88]

Cookie Monster always falls for the singular/plural cookie gag.

I remember this from an old video we have that I used to love as a kid. Aaah, those were the days.

This early Cookie Monster spoke better English than the one most people know!

[yaklin104]

[339194]

Cookie Monster rules on comedy :D.

When writting to Santa, he rules

When going to the library, he rules

When counting cookies, he rules

Thanks for reposting this.

Cookie Monster seemed to enjoy the 10 Cookies Ernie had given to him, wouldn't you agree?

[OtherBrother09]

This skit rules on so many levels. Eternal gold of children's programming.

[morganpitner]

No, Garrettk41. He says that there may be a box of crayons IN the bag. Pay attention. It's Sesame Street, for cryin' out loud! If a toddler can follow the dialogue, what's your excuse?

[Garrettk41]

Sheesh. Simply giving me the first sentence would have been sufficient. It's a human error. Kindly don't rub it in.

[morganpitner]

Sorry. I think I was having a bad day that day. Still, no excuse for rudeness. My apologies.

[Garrettk41]

That's alright. No hard feelings.

I had always assumed that Ernie mis-spoke when he said "box" as that's what crayons generally come in. But you're probably right. A whole box of crayons could easily fit in that box.

[Garrettk41]

"It could be, like, a box of crayons."

You mean a bag of crayons, I believe. Right, Ernie?

I subscribed

[beastking816]

Boy he really goes to town on those cookies

[maydayed]

i think this probably taught me what was hope during my younger days :P

[briansvoice]

It is not A cookie...it is in fact....TEN COOKIES!!!!

[RabbitDance]

ta-da! Now that's hope! Ernie's a good little guy.

[corjonbett]

@briansvoice BOIIIING!!!

[AquamanEric]

Got Hope?

[RabbitDance]
