Furry Blue Coat Wanted - Classic Sesame Street

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Boy, is that salesman clueless. She specifically said furry AND blue!

I need to think of a name for the Pumpkin lady here. I like her a lot. Her eyes were a little off-center, though.

[dback1221]

OMG, I did this sketch for some friends in college and they about fell over laughing. I'll have to send this clip to them to prove it really does exist.

[rockhopper10r]

"I must tell Myrtle!" "Madame has very particular tastes!" ROTFLMAO

[nessamaine]

My sisters and I quote this all the time!!! "I'll CHARGE IT, AND WEAR IT HOME!" "Uhhh, lady...uh, lady lady..." of course, Cookie's trademark "Dum dee dum dum dum, Dum dee dum dum"...and 1:35 to the end, the music and classic slow burn with the tight, angry muppet mouth... LMAO! Thanks for posting...xo

[d72jjpilc]

Yes, that line - 'I'll charge it and wear it home' - is the one that stands out in my mind the most as well! When I started watching this clip just now, I thought 'Wait, is this the clip that contains that line?' Sure enough, it is!

[TelephoneRock4ever]

I agree with you on all of those!

That Pumpkin lady is my fave. She needs a name! Her eyes are a little off-center, though. And that green salesman was just plain snooty. He sure got his due in the end (that face kills me!)!

[almadora]

wow i sooo remember this.

[setheurovision94]

I have to wonder what Cookie Monster was doing in that store to begin with. It's not like he needs a coat. Oh well, he definitely won't be coming back after this!

[simplecoffee]

LOL at 0:38 and 1:33!  XD Cookie rocks!

[QBCNetwork]

Cookie Monster's coat is certainly "Thicker & Thicker" from Beverly Hills!

[QBCNetwork]

Cookie Monster's fur is provided by Dicker & Dicker of Beverly Hills (LOL)!

[RSG2006]

I had an unfortunate circumstance in a department store too...I was looking for a new sweater. The salesman was Harvey Kneeslapper, and he asked "Would you like a V-neck?"  I said sure, and then...

[toasthoney]

ROFL!

[Garrettk41]

Hey, that would have made a good sketch.

[waddleduckie1]

This is my favorite! :-)

[Teankun]

Loved it how Cookie "hugs" her. "Uh, lady. Uh, lady, lady."

[EquusPL]

That's interesting, Cookie is already the regular CM we know, but you can still notice something from his early appearences in him.

[brightbite]

Yes, kind of political statement about fur almost. Remember the Muppets Christmas movie where Miss Piggy gets a live mink coat? That stuck with me forever. I have a feeling Jim was as kind as everyone says he was. Who else would come up with a creative solution to killing something to get the fur!

[Garrettk41]

Actually, it wasn't a live mink coat. IT was just a mink, as in the animal.

[brightbite]

LOL Yes, I see your point. Still, there seemed to be some kind of message there, and I appreciated it.

[oclandestin]

I love how they always managed to put ethical issues into Sesame St and the Muppets in really subtle ways.

[soxiei]

thank you for this video!!

[gabrielnyc]

old sesame street is FAR better than the new shit

[EyeballGrowth]

PLEASE post the segment that ends right at the beginning of this youtube video. The city shapes one. I've been looking for it forever

[ProfessorIgor]

this is a GREAT video, I must also tell Myrtle !!!

[McLarenMercedes]

One of few videos Cookie Monster wasn't trying to eat something. Great humor in this clip. Like it.

[Teankun]

Loved how she tries Cookie on by basically having him hug her. "Hey, lady, lady, lady."

[jbl1975]

Two solutions:

1. Buy the fur coat and have it DYED!

2. Pull out a 9mm, shoot CM in the head, then skin him and make your own coat!

The first option sounds better. BTW that blue non-fur coat was ugly.

[StaceSesame]

aww don't shoot Cookie Monster! :(

[livi2]

lmao very gd point lol

[pokinsmot]

:O Cookie cops a feel!

[DiAnno13]

"Yes, Madame. May I help you?"

"Yes. I'd like to return this coat. It ate every cookie I had in the house!"

[setheurovision94]

LOL, that cracks me up!

[Ervicito]

Boy, if PETA ever got a hold of this video... :-P

[setheurovision94]

Or PETM; People for the Ethical Treatment of Monsters.

[Lectronimo]

Poor Anything Muppet lady. Her eyes aren't quite centered around her nose. Kind of like Shannon Doherty.

[StaceSesame]

i see the Shannon Doherty resemblance, lol!

[mark321123]

Why was Cookie in a Lady's Clothing store?

[Brinah]

LMAO!!!

[StaceSesame]

is this the same muppet that was in the "Lulu is coming to town?" he sure looks like him with a snooty accent. :D

[emcgo]

I haven't seen this sketch in years. Great find. By the way, my personal opinion here, but I feel Fran Brill is one of the most underappreciated Muppeteers. She's an original and a legend, right up there with Jerry Nelson, Frank Oz and Richard Hunt. I'd add Jim Henson in there too, but he's in a catergory all of his own. :)

[LaGrias]

It's great that somebody else appreciates Fran. I've been trying to get people to appreciate her, Dave, Steve, Kathy, Louise and Karen for far too long.

[qbeam]

I entirely AGREE!!!

[brightbite]

Fran rocked, and Prairie Dawn filled my young head with awesome dreams (not X-rated ones, either.)

[dgranter]

Classic Cookie. I love it.

[Forkie]

this time you understand why cookie monster gets confused

[shadowhawk27]

poor Cookie Monster, he's mistaken for a coat

[MacLeaper]

I think I vaguely recall this one as well- Cookie Monster gets mistaken for a coat! :-)

[StaceSesame]

i remember this one! :D

[kobraf150]

Hey, she didn't pay!

[DRUMMERMAN77]

what did you expect fran didnt pay the brill lol

[Brinah]

"i'll charge it and wear it home!"

[brithgob]

Another forgotten classic. Great stuff, sawing, and if you have any first-season street scenes (original Gordon, orange Oscar, opening titles, etc.) I think we'd all love to see them as well.

[DRUMMERMAN77]

this is the same character who sings lulu is back in town and in between

[sawing14s]

Yes - the same puppet type.

[StaceSesame]

haha i was thinking the same thing! i thought it was the same muppet too. :D
