Classic Sesame Street: Ernie Explains "Hope" to Cookie Monster

[Bim0Mr]

I don't like this video. Cookie monster saying "I", where's "me" word???

[benvolio15]

Cookie Monster is actually using proper grammar here; saying "I want it to be a cookie" instead of "Me want it to be a cookie."

@benvolio15 : That must mean this sketch is fairly old; Cookie Monster hadn't developed his trademark speech patterns back in Season 1.

@hoopersghost

This sketch is from Season 2 (1970-71).

@Pocockable: Hmmm, hard to believe Cookie was still saying "I" instead of "me" then...but at least I've got proof now.  :-)

I kinda thought the comments here would be full of Obama references.

Hilarious when Ernie adds "as if I didn't know"!
