Sesame Street - Number Painter - 3(better quallity)

[that70sJo]

Mr. Bentley!

[Hagfan789]

Now i want a samich....

[MaxxFordham]

Haha, "three...three...3..." at the end there...

[MaxxFordham]

Haha, this creepy number painter's presence and actions never bothered the woman there! LOL, today it would be wayy different!

To this date I've always thought that when the guy first mentions the mustard, it sounds like he's saying "bustard" for some reason.

Hey, that ketchup looks too much like red paint to be ketchup! Maybe the mustard didn't look that real either. I'll have to try painting with the actual materials like that.

(Cont.)

[MaxxFordham]

Heck, I'm surprised that in all of my almost 38 years of life (as of next month, February '12), I haven't yet done this experiment! Okay, I've gotta get crackin', huh? :D

[MaxxFordham]

Oh, and I can't believe the woman didn't even go, "What, who the hell are YOU, and why have you just invited yourself to my picnic, yet here *you* are getting frustrated when I take and eat my OWN food?"

[CapHusky]

Boy... Rizzo cleaned up after graduation.

[texasghost]

What I found fascinating was that Mr. Bentley did the mad painter episodes all the way until 1988...even though he was doing The Jeffersons. I oftened wondered if the beard he had on during the mad painter episodes was fake? Otherwise..how would he keep doing the mad painter episides with a beard and be on the Jeffersons at the same time clean shaven?

[afriendofbean]

I'm sure the beard was fake because it probably would have been difficult for Paul Benedict to have a beard on Sesame Street and then shave for "The Jeffersons" and then it probably would be difficult for him to quickly grow the beard back just for Sesame Street. (My guess is that the fake beard is because it makes him look funny when he makes a sad face that one of his numbers either got smudged or washed away).

[afriendofbean]

One other thing since I didn't have enough characters in my last message.

I know Paul Benedict was on "The Jeffersons" from 1975-1985 and he was on Sesame Street from 1969-1988 and I know once he stopped starring on Sesame Street, he developed acromegaly which was seen on "The Jeffersons" so I wonder if he got the acromegaly after starring on Sesame Street in 1988 how he was seen with acromegaly because after 1988, he probably didn't star in anymore of "The Jeffersons" shows.

[TimThomason]

@afriendofbean He only played the Mad Painter on Sesame Street, which were 10 sketches made in the early '70s, and originally aired between 1972 and 1976. They would continue to air up until 1988, but they were the same original 10 sketches (including this one).

He was on The Jeffersons from 1975 to 1985. He might've grown his beard back for the one 1976 sketch (5), or more likely it was made earlier and delayed in broadcast.

He had acromegaly his entire adult life, including on Sesame Street.

[afriendofbean]

@TimThomason Yes, I saw on the internet that he was on Sesame Street from 1969-1988 and he was on "The Jefferson's" from 1975-1985. Also yes, I found that he had the acromegaly ever since he was a young kid. Since I know that acromegaly has to do with having a big nose, big jaw, and other big body parts where on Sesame Street, I didn't see his nose and jaw looking very big which is why I thought he got the acromegaly after Sesame Street since his face looks different on "The Jeffersons."

[MaxxFordham]

@afriendofbean

He wasn't on "The Jefferson's." There was never a show with that name. However, he may have been on a show called "The Jeffersons."

[afriendofbean]

@MaxxFordham Yes, I see what you're saying. I accidentally put an apostrophe in "Jeffersons."

[MaxxFordham]

@afriendofbean

Whow, you responded very immediately!

Heheh, "accidentally..." yet so many people type it there thinking it really belongs... I wonder how it could have been an accident. :-P But I see that you did actually leave it out correctly the next time you tried to write the name, which of course is good. :)

[afriendofbean]

@MaxxFordham I guess I'm sometimes used to putting apostrophe's in words. 

[MaxxFordham]

@afriendofbean

Yeah, we should all put them in *some* words, so we should all be used to putting them into *some*--that is, contractions and most possessive forms. But I've wondered how some people get the idea of putting them into the wrong kind of words (where a nonpossessive plural was attempted)--just like that error there, with "apostrophe's."

Heheh, oh well... this ain't an English class. :-p

[afriendofbean]

@MaxxFordham Yes that's true.

[speedyspooley]

Mr. Bentley!!!!!

[andrewcolinwilson]

She ate that sandwich so fast!

[jtomally9681]

This is the third Mad Painter that I've noticed that woman in.

[Dulcimerist]

Hey! It's Stockard Channing!!!

[TimelordR]

Any reason why this particular "number painter" episode had a weird sound at the end?

[kevico2]

Is that Stockard Channing (aka RIzzo "Grease"???)

[Magic9053]

@kevico2 yes

[kloefdog]

@kevico2 Yes it sure is!! She looks so innocent until she eats the sandwich! LOL!

[kataisa3]

@kevico2 yes it is. she sure was hungry!

[maziebunny2]

poor guy, all he wanted was to paint a nice 3 on his bread. well, if it will make you happy fella, keep the mayo 3's and I'll take the mustard 3's, okay? we can have lunch together...as long as you keep the ketchup away for I can't stand that stuff. yuck. and, bon appetite.

[QuiltMaster]

If there's one thing that gets a guy going, it's a girl who can really pack away the food.

THREE!!!

[ArxVirtus]

Is that girl Stockard Channing?? wow

[gtz1975]

Isn't that George Jefferson's neighbor?

[ArxVirtus]

@gtz1975 - Yep, Paul Benedict. He died a couple years ago.

[AlbieGray]

@gtz1975 Yes indeed! The late Paul Benedict, who played George Jefferson's neighbor, Harry Bentley, played the number painter in these skits. Also in this one, was The West Wing's Stockard Channing.

[latex123456]

I love the way he slaps her hand and says 'threeee!' in a really annoyed voice. As if to say 'stop eating my three's'.

[Arthurstedzarelli]

Stockard and Bentley!!!

[earlygail]

Johnny Wadd has a picnic

[zingaman]

this one always made me feel hungry!

[afriendofbean]

Yes, this made me feel hungry too. (She also should have brought along a drink too).

The number 6 painter skit made me feel even more hungry since that skit took place in a bakery with a cake, and the painter used an icing squirter to make a "6" on the cake. The reason why that skit made me feel hungry was because, the cake looked delicious, and the icing also looked delicious, and I thought it was a great skit since it's the only skit where the painter didn't use paint or a paint brush.

[ueberRegenbogen]

Looking back on these surreal skits sheds some light upon how i turned out. ;)

Meanwhile: Mmm Stockard Channing. (Though i didn't develop a crush on her, 'till i saw her on the Mike Douglass show, promoting The Girl Most Likely to... (when i was 8).)

[blkbrt]

Hey, it's Mr. Bentley.

[7bigmike7]

Painter guy never scared me. Maybe because of the piano music was cheerful. Kinda rooted for him as he was "goal oriented" His voice was pleasant also.

[BettyHuttonFan]

One of Stockard Channings more gracefull parts! :D Haha, JK. She wuz young in that!

[OldSkoolBoysRule]

I think it's kinda wierd how she completely ignores a perfect stranger walking in on her picnic, and eats the food he painted a number on!!! By the way, why was she picnicing alone? Never mind me...I'm just boared..!

[PandaMishima]

Maybe she'd seen him before? Seems like the girl is used to the Number Painter's antics.

[afriendofbean]

Probably she didn't know that he was sitting next to her (her mind was probably focusing on the food) because as soon as he slapped her hand at 1:15, she looked a little surprised as she looked at him very fast.

[PandaMishima]

"What, you again? Oh well, you made a good sandwich!"

[MondoBeno]

The guy doesn't give you the creeps?

[MondoBeno]

I remember those "number painter" skits. I used to be scared to death of them.

[yankee6161]

Me too!! Freaky!

[buzzlewie]

Boy Stockard Channing was sure hot at that picnic, she's lovely.

[cjk247]

@buzzlewie didnt know that was stockard channing and didnt know the mad painter was george jeffersons neighbor

[Kapricorn1]

Ahh loving Mr Bentley, great memories

[smoothie6ft3]

Ive been in love with Stockard Channing sine the age of 5 and didn't realize that it started with my Sesame Street watching.Only recently looking at her credits at IMDB that I figured out thats who i saw with Paul Benedict(Mr. Bentley on the Jeffersons and the judge in the Addams Family Movie 1991).

[Irrit8d]

This just suddenly sprang into my head from seeing it when I was a kid, and here they all are! Thanks for posting. :-)

[joni2691]

Hey that's right Nornegest, I remember seeing Stockard in that very movie I believe it was called "The Girl Most Likely To" which was an enjoyable T.V. movie.

[ghostchantxx]

Uh uh Paul Benedict is Italian. Yes Ragu.

[WonkaZone]

Do you have episodes 5 and 6 of the Mad Painter? Those are the only ones that are missing from YT.

[afriendofbean]

The Number 5 painter skit was posted on YouTube but, I think the person who posted it removed it, maybe because since that skit took place at a zoo in a gorilla's cage, the number 5 skit was probably telling young kids that it's okay to go near a wild animal when it's not okay.

[wattamack4]

It was taken down because the user who posted it,Larynxa,was suspended.

[WonkaZone]

Boo!

[Nornegest]

I once saw Miss Channing in the black comedy titled "The Girl Who..." In it she plays a vengeful woman who tracks down and victimizes her former tormentors. It didn't occur to me then that she was the same actress used in the Mad Painter sketches.

On another note, nice to see a healthy young lass actually enjoying her food. Bravo! So much better than the sickly stick insects we see so much of these days, hein?

[iweberdudei]

Dang she is eating that sandwhich like no tomorrow. lol

[3KNOCKS]

I like that one and it is better quality.

Could somebody please, please, please put

number painters 1, 2 and 6 onto you tube?

because I want to see them too.

[afriendofbean]

Actually, there isn't a Number 1 painter skit because Sesame Street never used the number 1 as the number of the day at that time but, there are Number Painter 2 and 6 skits. I also hope that someone has one or both of them to post them up on YouTube.

[soilsminor]

Cool! I've got my Haloween costume figured out now. Just need to find a girl who can eat a lot of sandwiches now. Three, three, three.....

[jadekoolkat]

The music score sound great.

[bobbie9972]

And didn't this guy end up being mr bently on the jeffersons?

[ricaard]

yes, he did...

[toadian21]

i knew it!! Mr bently

[trppey66]

Stockard Channing looks hot in this!

[funkmike]

And damn, she can put away a sammich!

[rasillon]

I agree!! As a kid I never knew that was her. Yet now that I look back, I agree she's hot. She is damn adorable!! I do her!

[mstatz]

Where did you get this?

[wattamack4]

Old School dvd.

[ISNorden]

Thanks for posting a better copy; I liked this one best as a girl, if only because the painter said more than usual. That "three-three-three-three-three­..." at the end always felt weird to me though!

[vrikey]

Speaking of which: was it Paul Benedict himself doing the speaking in all these Painter skits? Nobody seems to question that, but I wonder. I saw him on the Jeffersons and in many other films, and the voice-over for the Painter doesn't sound much like Benedict's own voice.

[auntbecky]

i think think it does. just without the phoney english accent.

[thejeep2000]

wow this takes me back.......thanks...
