Classic Sesame Street - Ernie and Snuffy have the blues

[Garrettk41]

Hoots asks Ernie if he wants to sing a Rubber Duckie song, even though at the moment he doesn't have a duckie to put down.

[Garrettk41]

At least this time Ernie actually knows that Bert is sick, unlike a decade and a half ago.

[Quietschquatsch]

Funny is, that Bert and (Big) Bird sound very similar.

[BabiKitty3]

Because both of them are Jewish Characters. I think Snuffy is a Jew too.

I Love The 80s

Bert flying a kite hard to imagine lol sounds too much fun for him

Yes its only snuffy and ernie

[CalvinMcFarland]

What year is this skit from?

[SenhorBundy]

'89 or '90, given the fact that Snuffy was revealed in '85, Henson died in '90 and the buildings you see in the background were added in '89

[patsupfan]

that, and that's undoubtedly still jim henson as ernie

[SmellyBellyEllie]

Holy shit.

Have you studied Sesame street?

:D

[uofmrules1]

Hell Ernie could just ride on Snuffy's back to wherever they go.

[Powerw1se]

Snuffy could eat Ernie in one bite.

[SenhorBundy]

Snuffy's too nice to do that...

[TheaterServant]

do what?

[MptLvr]

Aww, love Snuffy and Ernie together :P Awesmoe video :)

[auburn4wins]

No, I'm referring to a scene from the regular series, early in the 17th season. It happened shortly before the adults met Snuffy. You can read all about it in the book "Sesame Street: Unpaved." It's available on the Internet.

[samsticka]

You don't see Ernie out on the street very often, do you?

[auburn4wins]

If there's one Snuffy moment I want to see (especially considering I've only read about it), it's his tearful goodbye to Big Bird from 1985. Does anyone know about that, or have it?

[mbsjrcc06]

are you referring to the scene from "Follow That Bird" where Big Bird and Snuffy say goodbye to each other before Big Bird leaves to live with the Dodos?

Oh its just snuffy & ERNIE

They are not in this 1 they don't wanna play with them

Where are Big Bird and Bert?

[moatguy]

Did you hear the song? Ernie said Bert was sick and Snuffy said Big Bird was at his Grandmother,s.

[auburn4wins]

Coincidentally, I recently wrote a poem called "Best Friend Blues", about my best friend, Leah, who graduated from my high school the year before I did, and is most likely finished with college by now. She means the world to me.

This is probably the only time Ernie has rod arms.

[Marbles471]

Seeing these two together is a great novelty!

This must have been one of Jim Henson's last performances as Ernie, judging by the those buildings in the background--I think those were first added to the set in 1989--before that there was always just blue sky there (which actually didn't make much sense, perspective-wise.)

It's cool that Henson's Ernie got to appear on the street itself one more time before Henson kicked it, since that was rare by then.

nice vid. ernie and snuffy interacting together!cool.

[Rltpage]

You know, seeing both Ernie and Snuffy having the Best Friend Blues makes me feel sad, too, but then I feel much better when they decide to play together at the end.

[jonnytbird]

I hardly see Ernie with rods on his arms but it's great to have this back on youtube.
