Sesame Street: Air!

[nellie2581]

Mr. Manha Manha

[samuelflower]

He's high as a kite! Why wear shades hmmm...hiding your red eyes?

[cutiepie13216]

Does anyone know who the character is at 1:29!!!!

[shiauko]

An Airbenders favourite song!

[mishasan134]

God, I LOVE that guy!

[freshPrincess626]

wait, what is it we breathe again?

[pingufan11]

manamana lives!!!

[PaddySnuffles]

lol for some reason I kept expecting at the end for a Bill Nye announcement of "Air! It's everywhere - get used to it!" or something.... XD

[writemusicact]

I loved this guy! =D

[PolitaBois]

Ahhhhhh, good times ;)

[Shanda862004]

so funny the way the guy bounces off the screen when no one is around

[Shanda862004]

childhood memories.....

[KrazzleGoofy66]

This guy has no eyes! CREEPY!

[TalkableThings]

better than Justin Bieber

[CakeFullOfLies]

not in space.

[Remugsum]

@externalbleeding100 Well, at least one person must have cared enough to go out of their way to be a trollish asshat. Good job.

[TherealRNO]

@externalbleeding100: Fine by me. Nice talking with you. XD

[TherealRNO]

@externalbleeding100: Got it. Maybe they're twins. The later incarnations of Bip seem to indicate that. XD

[TherealRNO]

@externalbleeding100: My point was that they essentially used the same concept for both. So for all we know, they are the same guy. In fact, the Sesame character wasn't even christened with the name Bip Bippidotta when he was on the show. He was just named that by fans and unofficially by the cast when book compilations included him. XD

[TherealRNO]

@externalbleeding100: But "Bip" sang Manha Manha on Sesame Street too (back when he was purple, wore stripes, and had brown hair), for all we know, they could BE the same guy, just with different names.

[handsomebrick]

If we had no air we'd be living in a vacuum and that would suck.

[Remugsum]

They ARE different puppets/characters. I just like to sum it up to: They're brothers. They look alike etc etc. No, I'm not saying THEY ARE brothers, I just leave it at that in my own mind to simplify things.

[AngryIrish55]

@externalbleeding100 No it is the mahna mahna guy from The Muppet Show just named him different.

[silverwing10o0]

its not air in the ballon its hyleon

[sexygirlz123]

@silverwing10o0 .... that IS air.. >>; also.. it's Helium.

[SuperPlushieMaker]

6 people were jealous of the monsters shades

[jimUkay]

six people who didn't like this didn't have much AIR : (

[Linmyra]

when I was a kid I partly thought they said "hair" XD

[Weesnauh]

That's the "Munuh-Munuh" guy!

[paarfam]

@Weesnauh

They removed the "Munuh-Munuh" video on YouTube due to a copyright claim. Stupid YouTube. The video was ere since YouTube's debut!

[nellie2581]

@Weesnauh It is called Manha Manha, not Munuh-Munuh. It is all over Youtube. The guy is called Manha Manha

[eengeitmet2poten]

This would be awesome for a strugling scene in a film.

[20SpiderPig10]

i had this song on tape :)

[LainQui]

hahahahaha i remember this

[stephenhkovacs]

I just told you if it weren't for air, we'd be dead. Hats off to Christopher Cerf for this, and we'd be unable to breathe, so thank heavens for air. Yippy Skippy!!

[prettypuzzler]

I know it's not Seth Rogen singing but it does sound like him. Lol

[Shanda862004]

nice shades lol

[BriarEire]

i love this dude. i love Jim Henson :-)

[612franklin]

Yeah, Now your Talking

[TehRSDude]

pfft. lies. there's no air in space. fail.

[technosasquatch]

@TehRSDude what about the National Air In Space Museum?

[TehRSDude]

@technosasquatch L.

[Tysilee]

LIES In floating balloons is HELIUM!!!!

[countreblkchiq07]

@Tysilee Actually, all he says is "when a balloon swells like the moon- you know what's in the balloon??"; he doesn't SAY that the balloon floats or stays suspended (which would hint at the balloon being full of helium) but only that it swells- and since you can blow into a balloon the lyrics make sense...i think you got confused with the puppet in the background...

[Tysilee]

@countreblkchiq07 Hmmm maybe...

[floralgem]

God, I haven't seen this in YEARS!

[hexidecimalAFF0]

lol! I love Seame Street so much... @ 1:04 the original Balloon Boy!

[Karategirl333]

Manah manah guy!

[Tiramees]

Technically, cellular breathing doesn't require Oxygen... but who cares, this is the general understanding, perfect for kids. x3

Cute muppets and crazy hair! x33

[PandaMishima]

this ditty has been dancing around in my head for the last 48 hours!

thank heavens for youtube, lets me nail the source :)

[phillygrl69]

Gotta luv classic Sesame Street!

[wudcrft08]

isnt his the "me nom me nom!" guy? (or was it phenomena?)

[MarioZone69]

@wudcrft08 Yes he is, he was called Bip Bippadotta.

[Matismatt]

Isn't it Animal drummer from Muppet Show?!

[MrICKY101]

wHAT THE HELL AM i WATCHING

[ZibbaZoob]

omg i so remember this i thought it was hilarious when they sang this :) i just laughed and laughed not just the song but the puppets beard and glasses too :D

[AviloriANo1]

His arms is UBERLY short!

Bwhaha!

[eduardoreategui]

second 51.... childhood in a second... AIR!

[Twilight231001]

LMFAO

[vogel727]

bullfuck why do u post these vids on utube why? are u the dwarf? atleast make them all burn in hell

[karian13]

wow his arms are SHORT!

[NekoKiku]

Actually helium is in the balloon....

[matycee]

more than likely...it would be carbon dioxide

[TheMariaWaria]

I'm outta breath...I need AIR!!!

[Paden1865]

I have always loved that guy, from Manah Manah to everything else he's been in. I never knew his name, though.

[NyeTunes]

@Paden1865 I think he was only called "Bip Bippadotta" (a play on Kip Addotta's name, I assume) on a Sesame Street album; otherwise, he was nameless.

[rat4cooler]

I know Jim's famous for Kermit, and he's genuinely more intricate than Bip, but Bip is at least as lovable as Kermit if not more so.

[DisMupPix010]

This character (Bip Bippadotta) recently made a cameo appearance in a season 40 episode of Sesame Street. :-)

[DarkEarthDragon01]

lol. I can't help but say that this one looks like a dwarf from WoW xD

[beeBeebAnaNa]

air, air, EVERYWHERE!

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Ha ha, look at the blue guy at 0:23!

"Where am I going??" x-D

[kiwipanda123]

he does

[TelephoneRock4ever]

I saw this on one Sesame Street episode where Elmo and Zoe needed wind to fly their kites. Bip Bippadotta is clearly the wackiest Anything muppet I know.

Those wild-haired backup guys need names! They're cute!

[Nockyout]

My sister loves this song.

[NESFreak64]

Hah, it's the Manah Manah guy.

[Muppetguy123]

it's what you get if you put Rowlf the Dog in the boddy of the Manah Manah guy

[berryberrymuch]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL XD

yeah...he's my prince charming ;)

you noticed him :D

[silencioSLAP]

Little muppet beach bum guy with crazy hair who sounds like seth rogen FTW!!!

[beansprout85]

He does! That's weird!

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Hey, silencio, I'm just wondering. What does "FTW" mean?

[silencioSLAP]

FTW=For The Win

I think it's originally a term used mainly for football games but made it's way to youtube and now everyone uses it just as much as "epic".

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Thanks. I'll consider it a "viral phrase"!

;-)

Fits the vid very well.

[Nummins94]

I don't remember this little puppet...whats the little guy's name???

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Bip Bippadotta. He's supposed to be the Sesame Street version of Manah Manah, who was named after the song.

[robertrivasphotos]

PRRUUUUTTTTT!!! there breathe that!

[danimegmail]

from the sky o the ground the thing thats always around is air!! air! air! air! everywhere!!!

[MarvinAndMeikel]

AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR AIR

[Lokasena]

Hey, it Manah Manah

[TherealRNO]

Sowths (TMS): Do do do do do

Anything Muppet girls (SS): Pa tee pa tee pee

[ShinyHappyPurple]

Call me crazy but everytime I see the blonde haired puppet I think of the singer from 80s band Stray Cats.

[Lizy1028]

Hahahahaha, omg! you're so right!

[SwapMeetFlea]

He reminds me of the dude from Simply Red.

[emzeemish]

this song cheers me up :)

[Kaykay1005]

i love this song one of my fav from sesame street

[deltalady72]

this was sooo cute! Poor little guy, where are his arms?? lol

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Which reminds me, when Bip Bippadotta sang Scratch My Back (well, at least part of it), wasn't that the first time he got those short arms?

[brianklick]

season 19 seemed to be based around the concept of air

[ulij20]

Yeah, I seem to remember around that time, Lefty the salesman sold Ernie a bottle of air and then Ernie got upset after he "dropped" it by waving his arms to get Bert's attention. I don't believe that clip's on YouTube, though.

[alexander101207]

You told me again.

[alexander101207]

Wow, you really told me!

[alexander101207]

There are rymes.

[KelvTwelve]

This is when Jim was still alive right?

[alexander101207]

yes, it was his voice for Bip

[Nockyout]

Miss this song.

[HoG1010]

hes the best! i like him most! but i cant remember his name...:[

[PYROKID60]

This was my favorite song from Sesame Street when I was a kid!

[Shanda862004]

@PYROKID60 mine too!!! The muppet always that is always last after they say "air" is so funny the way he bounces off the screen lol

[kimierin]

lol, he has short arms, but a huge head

[margittarget]

that guy sounds just like Ernie, but more growl-ish.

[nessamaine]

heeheehee...margittarget, that guy sounds like ernie because it's jim henson...lol...ernie's voice, but in this case he sounds a little more like another character he does named rowlf the dog. :) aren't the muppets (and muppeteers) brilliant? xo

[charlottepoet]

I totally thought it was a rowlf voice at the beginning too :)

[classicssmfan]

That's because both of them were performed by Jim Henson (Ernie is now performed by Steve Whitmire).

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Which reminds me, could Steve Whitmire perform Bip Bippadotta, too? If the puppet came back, that is.

[wattamack4]

I think CTW pretty much retired him, so it's a very unlikely chance he could come back.

[antsamthompson9]

@TelephoneRock4ever I think Bill Barretta would make a better Bip, since he's better with the gruff voices. Besides, he took over Mahna Mahna and is doing a great job with him.

[TelephoneRock4ever]

@antsamthompson9: So I heard. He sounds like he could do a pretty good job with Bip Bippadotta.

[antsamthompson9]

@TelephoneRock4ever Yeah. I think so.

[77Flower77]

OH NO!! Im gonna sing this all the time in my school XD

[moebigsley1976]

AIR?

[yestyle]

since I was kid in the 80's, I really love to watch sesame street to learn something helps how to count when I was in Jordan.

[andhisband]

Joyous!  I love it.

[ClickToEnterHell]

:D great

[aliceofkansas]

at 25 years old i STILL know all the words. yeah!

[LittleGigiK]

AIR!

I love this!

Btw I think the guy doing the voice for that character is also the voice of Ernie!

[IconWatcher]

It is; it's Jim Henson.

This is the same puppet who does "Mahna Mahna".

[LittleGigiK]

I love Jim Henson.

[Garrettk41]

To know him is to love him.

[KelvTwelve]

Well, it's not technically Mahna Mahna. It's officially considered to be Bip Bippadotta but, in fan terms a "relative" of Mahna Mahna of sorts.

[JanksterProductions]

Yeah, according to the muppet wiki, bip bippadotta is mahna mahna's counterpart.

[jamak42]

Hahaha... what a cute clip. 5 stars.

[LdyKimbote]

YEAH THIS IS THE BEST!

[mygirlfriendisback]

OMG I love this clip lemme just favorite it.

[borabeans3]

Why does this puppet remind me of lil jon, and why am i sitting here waiting for him to say YEEAAA OKAYYYYY! LOL

[borabeans3]

Why does this puppet remind me of lil jon and why i sitting here waiting for him to say YEEEEAA OKKKAYY! LOL!
