Classic Sesame Street - what should Grover bring first?

[madcapromanian]

We're missing the part where Grover takes him out in the alleyway and beats him up. :D - Just a joke!

[briansky10]

Haha Grover, you lose this time!!!

One of the few sketches where Fat Blue wins the battle.

[nac1988]

hahaha: 1:40 "Alright Sir, here we have our piping hot soup du jour with some fresh du jour floating on top."

I've been looking for this particular line. When I heard it the first time, I suddenly realised that sesame street is full of jokes meant not (just) for children

[182anna]

'Whatever your strange heart desires'

'Charlie I forgot about this guy, he's a weirdo!'

xD groover! ♥

[charby09]

classic ocd here poor grover cudos grover way to get revenge on that guy over the years

[milincoln]

I bet this is the reason Grover messed with fat blue in pretty much every skit since this one

[shaunette9]

fat blue is a fat bitch

[lamok74]

ahahahah...the customer is always right...go groverrrrrrrrrrr!!!

[werellstupid]

thats how the customers r like at my place... buncha weirdos

[RPGFreak90]

You can't blame Grover for messing up this time!

[CDenic]

That's why I'm not a waiter...because I'd beat the crap out of that guy.

[christiangod9999]

About time fat blue gave Grover a hard time for once

[Purplesubmariner]

.........Grover kinda sounds like a girl is playing him with a gruff voice......is it just me, or does anyone else hear it as well?

[darkemoghost]

I bet this is the reason that Grover messes with the other blue guy so much!

[darkemoghost]

I think this is why Grover screws with him so much!

[ecfnw9]

I guess fat blue has never seen "waiting".

Grover might add some fumunda cheese on that sandwich

[samsticka]

I'm sorry, that's not my table, but I'm gonna take it anyway.

[ProudPalestina]

Wow, just when grover does his job right for once...

[afriendofbean]

Yes that's right. Grover did a good job getting everything right on this skit. However, there has also been very few skits where Grover did his job right.

This is also probably the only skit where Fat Blue was not in a hurry since he couldn't decide what to eat first. (Usually he always says to Grover to make it fast because he is in a hurry and has to get somewhere).

[TheBlueFlamingo]

So, was this Dr. Phil's first job on television?

[davemrakaelmo]

lol

[mjneworleans]

lol!!!

[stevemcblark]

Lol! "Charlie, I forgot about this guy, he's a weirdo!"

[afriendofbean]

I liked it when Grover said that line. Also, as soon as Fat Blue said "I wonder what's the matter with him today", Fat Blue probably should've wondered what was the matter with himself since he had far too much trouble deciding whether to eat the soup or the sandwich first.

[punksweetss]

finally the blue guy get his revenge

[rkcoaster7]

"Uh, Charlie, one Soup de jour and a pig in a bun!"

[UZworm]

I suppose all the other episodes of this could be seen as Grovers revenge. :D

[sideslide23]

well grover gets it right this time but whats up with Mr. Fatblue not making up his mind? Its Mr. Fatblue fault

[LanakilaIesu]

"...whatever your strange heart desires!" I love it.

At that point there'd be a temptation to simply introduce the customer to the chef directly and let them work it out. LOL!

[TheGreatDoon]

Yeah Grover seemed like he was going to snap!

[ShadowAnimeation]

lol, this one turns the tables on Grover.

[ingendan]

what some people might not know, is that "soupe du jour" is french for "soup of the day".

i find it very funny when Grover says:

"... hot Soupe du jour, with some fresh 'de jour', floating on top!" :D

[drunkenpeter99]

I never knew that myself, so thanks.

[monkeydavis1]

to me, Grover will always be superior to elmo.

[poodlegirl4848]

Always! Grover has always been my favorite. Elmo gets old fast.

[trublgrl]

Elmo doesn't speak English properly. ...On an educational TV show. I pull my hair out when I see that little monster!

The older skits seemed to be designed to bring younger kids into the adult world they were going to live in, while teaching basic concepts like "Before and After" and "Bigger and Smaller". The newer stuff still teaches lessons, but not in the same "this is why it's important in real life" style that they did years ago. Grover, Ernie & Bert, they were in a daily-life context.

[AntqueenP]

Agreed- Elmo is more about entertainment than learning to live in the real world.

[shiningkingghidora]

Elmo Ruined Sesame Street.

[Aja4000]

here, here!

[rrunner81sg]

"Charlie, I forgot about this guy, he's a weirdo!"

I love how Grover made sure that Fat Blue heard that insult!

[bplowright]

No wonder Grover is a jerk to fat blue. Hes being a jerk. So now he plays dumb with him, LOl

[adamfan13]

It's weird that Grover is usually driving Fat Blue crazy, but now it's the other way around.

[tander60]

Grover should have brought both the soup and the sandwich so that fat blue could decide which one to eat first.

[afriendofbean]

Grover did that at the end but you're right, Grover should've done that in the beginning as soon as Fat Blue ordered the soup and the sandwich. Then as soon as Grover gave both the soup and the sandwich, Fat Blue could've then decided (for a long time if he wanted) which one to eat first.

[RealTime88]

Grover got it right this time I saw that!!! Fat Blue was very difficult this time damn it!!!

[grimbackyardifan99]

"Whatever your strange heart desires!"

Grover rocks!

[deathmarkcomicsinc]

yes he does!!!

[gameshowguy2000]

Believe me..I would've had the soup AND sandwich delivered to me, and then I would've decided what I wanted to eat first.

[MoonMankkkkkk]

Wow, you're so smart. I wish I would have thought of that.

[afriendofbean]

Does anyone have the Grover the waiter skit where Fat Blue finds a fly in his soup and when he tells it to Grover, Grover looks under the soup bowl, then next to the soup bowl but, never inside the bowl?

[FelineIce]

It would have been MUCH better if this happen after like 15 or so skits with the two. But...I'm not sure what the order is so Ill still view it as that.

[verkaforever]

Does Frank Oz voice Grover? I wondered 'cos at the beginning he sounded a bit like Miss Piggy.

[ljks1]

Yes he does. He is one of the greatest ;D

[waddleduckie1]

In this episode, Fat Blue is driving poor Grover up the wall.

[moccalou]

LMAO! I totally don't remember this one from my childhood.

"Charlie, I forgot about this guy. He's a weirdo!" XDDDDD

[45molkstreet]

insted of the blue guy fanting it was grover, lol

[afriendofbean]

Well, I know on the first Grover the waiter skit which was where this blue guy wanted a bowl of Alphabet Soup, Grover actually fainted on that skit too but, this blue guy has fainted more than Grover.

[cne08]

Why does this guy keep going to the same restaurant?

[Videot01]

I Love ALLL the muppets!

[bleach1284]

charlie! i forgot about this guy, he's a wierdo!!!

[maartendas]

"...whatever your strange heart DESIRES!!" :D :D

[Marbles471]

Hmm...so we're still in the period here where the dynamic was "difficult customer vs. exasperated waiter". Interesting how it eventually became "long-suffering customer vs. maddening waiter." Their roles essentially switched.

Though, as some of you guys have said, it's fun to imagine that the later skits are Grover deliberately playing dumb to get revenge on Johnson for his fussy ways. xD

[DCism]

I understand. Grover was tired of Fat Blue's fussy ways, so he turned the tables on him to become frustrated and tired and Grover appears whenever and wherever he appears. Grover might have done that for revenge.

[jbsmooth2k7]

Forget falling over.....I'd be like "okay that's it....would you like a fat lip before the black eye or the black eye before a fat lip!!!!"

[prathse]

oh that was -and still is- my favourite waiter grover episode =))

[kinmanyuen]

lol grover got owned by the blue guy this time :D

[srubi74]

He's so uptight! Why doesn't he just take a bite of sandwich, a sip of soup, a sip of coffee, and alternate from there.

[deathmarkcomicsinc]

fat blue was stitched and sowed to give grover a hard time( a really hard time)!!

[deathmarkcomicsinc]

fat blue MAKE!!!!!YOUR!!!!MIND!!!!!

[gameshowguy2000]

If you want a soup and sandwich, always bring them out on one plate.

[deathmarkcomicsinc]

you can see the strings on 00:02

[setheurovision94]

Mr Johnson is absolutely rude in this skit. I think it excuses all the times when Grover gets on his nerves. I can't stand customers who can't make up their mind; once I had a customer just before closing time and he stayed for almost an hour, unable to decide and unwilling to give up. I felt just like Grover did.

[setheurovision94]

For this behaviour of Fat Blue's, he lost my sympathy in the other Grover skits. Fortunately I've never known people like that but I don't envy those who do!

[bryannakkwong]

Make up your mind Fat Blue.

[staggmovie]

Your right, and I bet Grover is thinking that to, and while he is during his best to try to keep his job, rather then being fired.

[Torr3]

i forgot about this guy is a weardo! lol but the fat one dont have right to do like this

[Angie2343]

XD For once, Fred got BACK at Grover!

[ReevaInari]

Grover seems a bit impaitent this time around.

"Whatever your STRANGE heart DESIRES!" Lol!

[wattamack4]

I think Fat Blue was just trying to drive Grover crazy.

[lilleangel]

A pig in a bun!

[Vook]

Yeah, for once the blue guy got back at Grover. ;)

[mdumas43073]

Having worked in a restaurant in my teens, I encountered so many customers who acted like Fat Blue does here...Grover has my sympathies.

[brightbite]

I agree! Ah ha, another person who has stood in Grover's waiter shoes. I also have encountered those like Fat Blue.

[moatguy]

Grover if it,s all the same,just bring Fat Blue both the soup and the sandwich at the same time. Just because he wants one before the other does not mean he can not have both on the table and eat one before the other.

[setheurovision94]

SPOILER: That is exactly what Grover says in the skit, but Mr Johnson wins (for once).

[Garrettk41]

If that had worked, Mr. Johnson would probably be safer going with the soup first. That way it wouldn't get cold. You know how he feels about that.

[harvsoul]

Now, if that was me......oooh boy, somebody would have been wearing that soup and salad

[ocdindustries]

it was a sandwich gosh! :P

[BigBrowz]

Anyone remember the one where the Blue guy is asking for musical instrument and making horn sounds with his mouth, only it's an actual horn lol?

[jx346]

i think u're talking about simon the soundman & that's on youtube

[1977JAGuar]

The blue guy in that clip is known as "Simon Soundman" rather than "Fat Blue" as in the Grover waiter clips. The clip you're looking for WAS on here a few months back... I remember looking at it and reminiscing, but now I can't find it anymore :-(

[StaceSesame]

which skit was the one where Grover screams in the backround and breaks the dishes? I gotta see that one again! :D

[setheurovision94]

That was the one with the picture menu; Mr Johnson keeps sending Grover back to get every single thing on the picture, and then leaves without eating as his lunch break is over. Grover snaps: "Charlie, I quit! I don't have to take this kind of abuse!" and goes berserk in the kitchen. That clip used to be on here but has been (at least presently) pulled.

[deathmarkcomicsinc]

i wonder why it got pulled??

[afriendofbean]

Actually, it's still posted on YouTube.

[star5018]

It seems like Grover is acting like Fat Blue and Fat Blue is acting like Grover

[dj2bklyn]

so the tables are finally turned on grover lol

[Shadowhawk28]

Grover: "Harvey, I'm taking your table."

Harvey Kneeslapper: "48 Grover?"

Grover: "Yeah, number 48."

[DCism]

He was thinkin' "I want my damn food NOW!!!!"

[auburn4wins]

This is simply classic! It's so awesome to see Grover being the one going back and forth, getting tired, losing patience, and fainting in the process. All that happens to him, instead of Fat Blue, as is usually the case.

[gameshowguy2000]

If you wanted a soup and sandwich, I suggest you bring them both at once. (Then the customer can decide which one to eat first)

[califgirl101]

This clip is a first for me. Poor Grover! And I thought that Fat Blue was having all the frustrations over Grover's service! Great stuff! Thank you. :)

[Ziffel67]

I don't really remember this one too well. Was this from after 1975? (or even after 1977)?

It's pretty funny. Similar to the one where he keeps changing his mind about how many eggs and bacon strips to have. Then he ends up changing to two hot dogs and two pickles. Then Grover goes ballistic in the kitchen!

[uofmrules1]

Yeah, I remember that one too...things that would get you arrested today, you know?

[spamanator666]

Love it!

"Charlie I forgot about this guy... he's a weirdo!"

I remember when I was little I always wondered if Grover spilled hot soup all over himself when he fell. =]

[Daffyfan2006]

So this was one of the few when Fat Blue is the antagonist and Grover's the victim. I'm guessing it's from before 1975 then, because I remember as early as 1972 there was one where Fat Blue was the victim. Lol. That could be why it was reversed in later years. Maybe Grover wants revenge on the "weirdo."
