Classic Sesame Street: Animals Steal/Ruin Clothes

[RingoandCarlin]

The moth in a way freaked me out only a little when I first saw it when I was 4.

Oh I remember this one! Who can forget about the glutton that ate my last button?

The Glutton line is the best part.

[redfox409]

Never explained why the animals did that to him.

[juve96]

Classic!

[ItsVassy]

[patchouli78]

ahahahahaa I love this video!! the moth used to scare me when it made the scary face. The ants bit made me laugh the most lol!!

[flowertrue]

The title you put on this video cracks me up!

[vidhag900]

"Glutton" is also a term for any greedy person or animal; maybe that's the way they intended the word in this clip.

[hoopersghost]

I knew about that meaning, but with all the other lines mentioning specific animals it's still a bit ambiguous and strange.

[glickmam]

Maybe the producers screen-tested this skit with a wolverine, but they changed it to a squirrel when their E&R team decided the wolverine was too scary for children.

[hoopersghost]

Plus I could imagine kids wondering what the heck that weird-looking animal was...

[tpirman1982]

I guess they also decided to call that squirrel a glutton because it rhymes.

"This is the glutton, who ate my last button!"

How appropriate..there's nothing that rhymes with squirrel that has to do with clothing..and I don't think there's anything that rhymes with chipmunk that has to do with clothing either.

@gameshowguy2000 This is perhaps pushing it, but sometimes people (but usually women in particular) wear pearls. So maybe "this is the squirrel who ate my last pearl"?

@SnowbirdFlock

Oh...good point. Almost forgot about that.
