[VegataIsAwesome]

A is also for ass

Does anybody know the name of the actor who provided the voice for this vignette and many others? Whoever he was, he had a very small part in one of the Godfather movies, he played one of the senators in the congressional inquiry scene.

wow.. i dnt know what an ashcan is.. trashcan yea but ash can.. ima google it lol my daiis!

[jeopardy60611]

@ThePinkPrincess1988 I picture a can with dirt in it where you throw cigarette butts. That's what I would call an "ashcan."

[ThePinkPrincess1988]

@jeopardy60611 Ahh.. That Makes Sense.. Thanks lool.. x

[richiecathrew]

Thank you sesame street, you taught me the basics.x

[CanadaFamilyMan]

The only time I've ever seen anyone hanging out the back door of an ambulance. He may need it even more soon.

[PandaMishima]

@CanadaFamilyMan

Good thing the guy's a cartoon, he'll bounce back soon enough.

[zacandtaylorrule]

I remember this one. I love it. Who did the voice?

[swarlock]

Been looking for this one.

[toasturrrr]

lol,awesome!!

[funnyfokker25]

Also like "ashcan".....lol, never hear anyone use that one anymore!

[funnyfokker25]

I always loved this one. I have a question though. After the arrow goes "whooshing" by, and he says "watch it will ya" he mumbles something. It almost sounds like he says "what the hell was that?" or something, I highly doubt that he does, but it be interesting to know what he did say. Thanks for the post mstatz, and all the other sesame street posts as well. Great memories!!!

I liked the sound effects in this one! When I heard the ashcan 'clanking' against the side of the letter 'A,' I know that this is one of the clips I so dearly remember! I also remember the animals (lion, elephant) coming down in the avalanche! I give this clip an 'A'!

[ShelbyOrvis]

A is also for accident poor guy.

I also like it how the arrow just

barely misses his head. "Hey watch

it you almost got me in the head. lol

[mightycowhero]

arrow. *whhhhsssh!!* hey watch it!!

[HurQlez03]

[raakone]

[jbl1975]

Good now I have seen both again in my life.

[grecomic]

Funny, I was actually thinking about this clip today! I also remembered there was a Spanish version with a few variations on the objects thrown against the 'A'.

[jeopardy60611]

Back when I saw this when I was 3 years old, I didn't get the idea that the guy was hurt from the avalanche and needed an ambulance. I also remember the Spanish version saying "ambulancia."

[Tigerboy83]

When I watch these now, I can see the objective here is simply to know what begins with A, as opposed to knowing how to spell these words. I honestly don't think I could have spelled Avalanche back when I watched this.

[loikmj]

this is a funny one. i always liked the plane and the other stuff crashing down the side of the a.

[jeopardy60611]

When I saw this 30 years ago, I didn't realize that the guy got hurt from the stuff falling on him and that's why he needed the ambulance. Cool clip!

[DiAnno13]

He was A-top the A, At its A-pex. A is Also for Attorney, chasing the Ambulance.

[barringtonbelinda]

This one gets an "A" + !

[ISNorden]

A is also for Awesome: you must've known I was looking for this cartoon! Five asterisks, er, stars from me...
