Sesame Street - How a Flower is grown

[lovemeg5186]

Is it just me? Or did some of you have a laughing fit when herry fell and knocked down the flag?

[hope4love]

I like the little girl's/puppet's voice.

Bert said "Gay" at 4:37

[Katzi]

"Gay" is another name for happy.

"Well actually, I'm Ernie, you know--I'm not Bart at all, but in this play I'm pretending to be Bart because that's the way it was written..."

"Ernie, what are you doing?!"

Elsewhere:

"Well, actually, you know, my name's really Anthony--I'm not named Hannibal in real life, and I don't particularly enjoy the taste of human flesh, but you see, in this movie I'm pretending to be a psychopathic.....

[Marbles471]

Let's translate this into literal human terms:

So, we've got a little 7-year-old girl directing a play starring two boys about the same age, along with two guys in their early 20s. (Can you guess who's who? :)

The two guys in their 20s clearly don't have ambitious plans for the stage if they don't mind starring in children's plays. ;]

[Daffyfan2006]

Well, she did do that 'healthy foods pagent' this season, so maybe we'll see more of those some time soon.

MUPPETEER SPOTTED: As Herry trips onto a flagpole, we can see his puppeteer's arm performing his arm.

[youtookmynamebiotch]

Wow, I never noticed that!

[ISNorden]

One of my favorite Prairie Dawn pageants as a kid. (Couldn't Bert's brother Bart have reappeared to play the farmer, though? His jokester attitude would've added a bit of color to the script...)

[thejeep2000]

brilliant.......always remember Bert as the flower...he looked so embarrased lol

[Ian16545]

And even now, I can picture Prairie and the gang taunting Bert (to be sung to the tune of the Singing Kettle (a Scottish children's band) song, "Tell Me A Story"):

"Please play the part, Bert,

Please play the part, Bert-

Please play the part, Bert, for which you were assigned.

You promised us you said you would,

You'll have to give in, 'cause it's for your own good-

Please play the part, Bert,

Please play the part, Bert-

Please play the part, Bert, for which you were assigned!"
