Sesame Street Baker (Alex Stevens) 1 through 10 falls

[JackSlugman]

That sounds alot like Frank Oz.

[MrRadishhead]

the voice sounds like hensen/ kermit

[rrvtjd]

@MrRadishhead I did some research, and found that Jim Henson actually did dub the voice in post production.

[wabankik]

...Well Done Old Man!, Well Done!,.

[Loverboy19691]

This scene used to really upset me, ive not seen this for years and thought of it what made me almost cry back then just came back to me and i teared up, I'M A 42 YEAR OLD MAN!! It used to upset me because back then when i saw it i really thought he had actually hurt himself, and on one scene he would blub, i almost wanted to blub with him!

[Soulfinger00Soul]

Classic

[crashkilldamage]

I HAVE 3 QUESTIONS....

1.i wonder if he ever really got hurt doing this??

2.did he he actually ever really fall or was it trick photography??

3.did he bake anything else BESIDES CAKE before he would take the falls??

[nancyut1]

LMAO! I was always sad for him, but watching this now I got that squeaky, breathless 90 year old man laugh, (I'm a 35 year old woman) Thank you, thank you!!!

[TheSV3]

And this is why you never see him on the Food Network.

[manitou2012]

I used to love this guy when he fell! Thanxs for posting!

[DirtyReyRock]

To me, this was a strange childhood visual from back then......seeing this poor guy fall in humility. Amazing to revisit the memory and see it posted. Thnks!

[jasonpp1973]

10 disabilty checks!

[angelgirl7473]

poor guy..clumsy!! LOL

[kiuhy8]

ahh i remember this fondly from my childhood :)

[EyeCandeeeeeeee]

OMG, this is still hilarious. I'm 38 and I think I'm laughing harder than when I saw it at age 5.

[les555qq]

@EyeCandeeeeeeee I'm, 44, and love it, it was genius

[Charla1606]

Wonder how many injuries he sustained while doin these.

[lsprings8]

As a child, I used to cry every single down this baker fell down the steps .. it was awful! And now, as an adult I am watching this laughing so hard!

[lsprings8]

@lsprings8 every single 'time'

[guapoking1]

is that Jim Henson?

[thevideotour1]

In the segment, the baker brings it to the bakery then falls down and make a mess! The people got hunger pain when the baker did that! What a mess!

[UniteIreland07]

ROFL! Priceless comedy...I'm 45 and this still gets me giggling. It's no small wonder this guy didn't break his friggin' neck taking one of those wonderful tumbles, though. xD

[prismwashere]

I thot it was 10 banana cream pies. all these years. still funny tho. thanks for making that collection!!!!

[robshaps]

@prismwashere No problem. Thanks for watching. 

[ACNC1]

TWOOOO PEOPLEEE. DONT LIKE THE.  BAKER. ARGHHHHHHHHHH

[SnowbirdFlock]

I wish there was 1 for 0: "Zero, angel food, cakes!", falls down the stairs with an empty tray & stays nice & clean

[AFGSANFORD2]

This is my second favorite Sesame Street clip ("Pockets" is 1st). It is so funny at the end but like someone commented it is a waste of food I do agree; we do not waste food or clothing. Good clips like this need to be kept on Sesame Street. Jim Henson is the annoucing voice at the end and now I know who the baker is (Alex Stevens).

[CelesteK]

I'm surprised he didn't sustain any major brain damage falling down those stairs! LOL!

[SonicSurferBob]

Good video.He needs to stop waxing them steps before serving.lol

[1968DodgePolara]

press 4 then 5 he says five Geeks " fall down". lol I will never grow up :D

[hamsteradorable]

@1968DodgePolara hahaha your right

[1968DodgePolara]

WOW that was a memory JOLT ! Flew right out way way back of my brain I started jumping up and down in my chair laughing and said wait I'm 45 years old ! Not 3 . Sesame Street came out in 1969 when I was 3 years old I remember that Baker falling I jumped up and down laughing thinking it was the funniest thing I ever saw. I forgot for a second I'm a full grown Man now LOL

[giantsean]

This chef has ruined 55 desserts all by himself... his boss must have fired him before it became 66

[buggy767]

I'm 44 years old and this still makes me laugh as hard as I did when I was five. :-)

[indie9093]

this is a waste of food

[Katzi]

When the baker fell down the stairs after droppping the 2 chocolate cream pies, he's looking up the stairs & scratching his head like "What the hell happened?"

[TimxGaelle]

TEN... ... ... CREAM PIES.

Ew.

[quirpco]

I would've said "um...yeah, before I serve these big desserts downstairs, I want a pastry cart and an elevator."

[bearpaw72]

Episode 11:

ELEVEN.....BOTTLES OF.....DEMEROL!!!

[Smartboy8877]

@bearpaw72

What is Demerol?

[bearpaw72]

@Smartboy8877

Demerol is a powerful drug used as a painkiller - typically administered in a hospital.

[Smartboy8877]

@bearpaw72

Thank you very much for the information!

[bmmcdani]

HE COOKS WITH CANNABUTTER :)

[abracadaverous]

You'd think they would've eventually installed a ramp for this guy!

[hamsteradorable]

no life assurance for him

[hamsteradorable]

im not cleaning up the ruined desert pile at the end of the stairs lol

[hamsteradorable]

Three vials of nitroglyserin fall down the stair kabblooey

[wolverine94]

Eleven

Vials

Of mercury!

[jjohn2k]

NINE......MOLETOV.......COCKTA­ILS!!!

[hamsteradorable]

@jjohn2k yeah falls down the stairs KA BOOM lol

[Srd1126]

He is a stunt double--the voice is Kermet the Frog!

[robshaps]

@Srd1126 I never thought of the Kermet voice

[JoeB0y16]

@Srd1126 Yeah, the voice "was" none other than Jim Henson himself!

[TheIronSheikSociety]

I am in my early 40s, and I still get a kick out of these priceless classics. Thanks for posting NUMBER 1 as well. The number 1 should never be overlooked, even though counting to one is the easiest thing to do. The series with the baker falling should be brought back, without the politically correct elite idiots crying about how dangerous those falls were.

[rjflesher]

Ah, the stumbling, bumbling baker man. Alex Stevens was excellent doing a pratfall.

[jeopardy60611]

If you look at it carefully, you will see that he is actually walking down the stairs normally, with crashing sounds accompanying him, and he kneels down at the bottom of the stairs and drops his stuff. So, he's perfectly safe. However, I think the #4 one looks pretty real.

[Pothatuu]

"ONE UNBORN FETUS!"

[Upperstrom]

I always felt sorry for the poor guy when I was a kid.

[bigroy38]

Hope they had a good chiropractor back in the day!

[loknloll]

the sesame street producers must have all been on LSD, like, most of the time.

[lisamaria1972]

he was great!

[tj3688]

I wonder if he ever made it safely down the stairs with his baked goods??

[gsnfan]

The funniest You Tube video ever!!!!!!!!

[angelgirl7473]

my daughter just watched this with me lol 

[AlJ135]

awww poor guy he was so proud of himself cus he declared his food and everything. I feel bad for him..... its okay man, im sure they were all delicious

[heathergee]

Fantastic!!! It's still hilarious!!!

[AlbieGray]

Even to this day, funny as ALL get out! That baker falling down all the time and all the desserts all over the place and a huge mess to boot! A laugh riot every time!

[lovejone1]

OMG!!!!!!!! WHYYY am I STILL CRACKING UP on this....??!!!!! AND I'm almost 40, lol

This segment was one of my favorites as a child and thanks so much for compiling them all on one clip!!

[robshaps]

@lovejone1 No problem! I'm 32 and also grew up on the baker. I just wish he had his own show.

[jusaLOSER]

@robshaps i'm nearly 40 and it seems like this guy couldnt take one step, not even with the wedding cake, without falling! i betcha this guy is a janitor now, cleaning up messes like this! LOL or is a paraplegic!!! LMFAO!!!

[okesaita]

@lovejone1 ... Hahahaha!! Well, if it's of any consolation to you, I'm 51. Yep, I watched it when I was 11. :D

[TheRaerae1971]

@lovejone1 Because we will always LOVE, LOVE,LOVE Sesame st. =)

[Katzi]

@lovejone1 Don't feel so bad...I'm PAST 40 & was laughing!!

[mrbongo]

Great editing job! I've loved the clumsy Sesame Street baker all my life!

[robshaps]

@mrbongo Thanks! The baker always puts a smile on my face.

[xXxmikuXvocaloidxXx]

why would u wast all thos cakes?????

[1712Overture]

@xXxmikuXvocaloidxXx

Television and advertisement food is usually fake - doesn't hold up well under the hot lights.

[patrickballoonman]

If I had been around in the show's early days, I would've loved to have seen still shots of Alex at the end of an episode. One of him standing at the top of the stairs holding the "Sesame Street" sign, and the other of him sitting on the floor at the bottom holding the "Children's Television Workshop" logo; not necessarily with dropped pastries around him, though.

[disneyfan85]

Poor guy. It's a wonder that he never really got hurt or something.

[123segabcseg]

I feel sorry for that baker.

[sarahthediva]

I wonder if this guy developed permanent damage from doing this so long
