FYI, legendary singer-sonwriter Essra Mohawk sings this theme. It's also Essra's vocals several on Schoolhouse Rock songs including "Interjections," "Sufferin' Till Suffrage" and "Mother Necessity."
I was sledding one day, on a hill made of pure ice and gravity. And I thought of this guy and how bad ass he was that he was on the counter one second and IN THE SINK the next. So of course, being a 4 year old, I stood on my sled and tried moving like him. And of course, I fell and ate shit. And I totally broke my collar bone. Thanks, Teeny Little Super Guy!
i love this segment ... always waiting for it while watching sesame street.. but they just show the same thing over and over again .. disappointed ..=(
yea i tried to tell my hubby about the lil guy on a cup that dances and talks he looked at me like i was crazy lol so i been looking for this all day im appy i am so happy i finally found it lol :)
I remember as a kid, I would sneak in the kitchen and just watch inconspicuously for Teeny Little Super Guy to come out of hiding. Yes...I thought he was real when I was little, lmao.
i loooooooooove teeny little super guy when i was little this is so magical. mind calming piece of awesome exellent imagination i have ever watch in my years :D
Watching all of these classic skits is _nuts_... I too have literally not seen these in 20+ years. These were some of the first things I have ever seen on TV. Wild!
"Did i ever tell you about the time"....singers:he can't tell you about the time he's just a teeny little super guy!.....i got kinda freaked out when they said he's inside of us.
i was up at 3am and rememberd bout this as a child n couldnt get any1 to remember it wit me so i called pony but she was asleep then i called dean n he knew it n laughed n its awesome u have it on here
You can't tell a hero by his size, he's just the Teeny Little Super Guy. Oh Yeah!!! My favorite piece in Sesame Street. When I was younger, I knew what it was as soon as I saw the kitchen. Good memories man. Good memories.
Wow, I can't believe this is on youtube! I haven't seen this since for 15 years and the second I started hearing the announcer, the lyrics popped into my head!
Now that I see this as an adult, I wonder what came guy up with the idea of a small man animated on a cup? Haha, I loved this part of sesame street!
Using incredibly simple and economic stop-motion techniques: Teeny Little Super Guy's movements were painted onto individual plastic cups, which were replaced frame-by-frame. When he eases in and out of several environments, like the kitchen sink, the cups are cut and replaced with different sizes each frame.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dude i used to HATE watching tv when i was a kid its awesome how watching stuff like this intro and especially disney movies bring back thes STRONG feeling of discomfort hate, and like suffocation or like smothering.
This looks like it was done using stop motion, but how the heck were they able to get the cup to come up THROUGH the counter and THROUGH the sink? amazing. Soooooooo many memories! Thanks for posting
Wow, just wow. I was looking through various Sesame Street videos, and I stumbled upon this. I had COMPLETELY forgotten about Teeny Little Super Guy from my childhood memories until I saw this. He was one of my favorites. Those were the days!
I always thought this extremely weird and I was slightly creeped out by this when I was a child. I must of been around 3 or 4 when I first saw this, possibly even 2. Today as a 24 year old dude, I'm not creeped out by it. Yep, this brings back memories!
I think this was from 1982--it said so on the 35th anniversary special. Anyway, I never knew he was called Teeny Little Superguy until I recently saw the theme song again after God knows how many years. The very beginning used to scare me as a child though . . . so many memories!
To Daintytwinkletoes:I was hopin for the "oh yeah" too, it was not cut out...this was an intro..."oh yeah" is part of the outro. Long live the TLSG! PeacexXx!!!
This guy RULED! I was so lucky to grow up in the mid-90s - Elmo was there but in small doses, and as I'm in Australia we're always a year or two behind you Yanks, so I'm very lucky to just miss out on Elmo-Street (I watched the Street from 1994-96)
i love the teeny little super guy segments in sesame street! i totally forgot all about this until it came up to my mind! when i was little, i thought they used "magic" to make the cup float in the air... now i realise the segment was just stop animation
