[pushingdasiesfan]

I LOVE SESAME STREET and I'm laughing hysterically right now, which wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't 15

[TheAurelianeful]

@pushingdasiesfan lol dont worry about it I LOVE SESAME STREET TOO...i grew up w/it :D

[kazooga1234]

dogs and cats thats youtube

[Satoshi9801]

Jim dies, and then Frank leaves the show :( He admits that his real life is to be a director.

Seriously, Frank, you should have told Jim you never really wanted to work with him.

[Satoshi9801]

Bert is wrong about many things here. For one, companies DO sponsor Sesame Street, and you're never too old for Sesame Street. Anyone agree with me?

[nellie2581]

@Satoshi9801 I totally agree with you

[xXOMGROFLOLXx]

Explosions?

YES.

Commercials...

ONly this one.

[glassesgurlmusicluve]

Rollerdurby no no no lamo rofl i was like peejng

[See918]

Ernie: You know what kids love to watch most on TV, Bert?

Bert: What Ernie?

Ernie: Commercials!

Bert: Aw bullshit Ernie!! SHOVE! CRASH!

[evilskunk12]

EXPLOSIONS???? THAT MADE ME ALMOST PEE MYSELF...THAT AND ROLLERDERBY!

[evilskunk12]

I LOVE HOW BERT KEEPS COMING BACK EVERYTIME AND ERNIE PUSHES HIM AWAY!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! xD!!!! :D! SESEME STREET 4EVER!!!!!!!;D

[1000legominifigs]

its so weird that this is so old now we see like katie perry and adm sandler on sesame street i wish that sesame street would have never lost its groove you know what i mean like these are all awesome puppets and cookie monster who ever thought of veggie monster is HUGE JERK!!!!!

[xxxMariahilyxxx]

I wish I lived on sesame street.

[hgwilt1]

Bert is wrong about what kids didn't want to see on the show. On Nov 1969. Ernie was tried to say what kids and parents will like about the show. Aw... what memories for me and others. As I still the show today and always will. Gee I sesame street old school from the 80s. Wish that my other TV shows didn't have any commercials.Just one or two at the most does anyone agree?

[FarSightOfTheMoon]

@hgwilt1 Confused...

[antster1983]

@sygo7g Xerox gave a $50K grant to fund this preview.

[jhillst]

I miss the days when Sesame Street didn't have to be sponsored by anything other than letters and numbers. Thanks a lot, Newt.

[BIahBlahBIahBlah]

WHERES THE COMMERCIALS

[stevenscottoddballz]

This was SO cool to see! Thanks for uploading this!

[wsbtam]

Ah, the great comedy teams of our times...Abbot and Costello...Rowan and Martin...Bert and Ernie...XD

[1legomaster]

Why would Bert say explosions???? Thats what I don't get, why they would say that on Sesame Street... =-)

[Decktrio]

@1legomaster It was 1969. *cough* Children's television show in 1969. Think of the other prominent childrem shows of the time... mostly cartoons with violence (i.e. the Looney Tunes).

[bgrasso5]

no no no.

[SilverEspeon26]

"Explosions?"

They were right.

[WWEChampion16]

Jim Henson and Frank Oz are a great comedy team when they do Bert and Ernie.

[ProfessorIgor]

because of THIS promo, I was there on day 1, watching Sesame Street ! 14 months old then...

[golddustwoman83]

Hahahahaha roller derby

[NorthTxBalla]

way to go there xerox!!!!

[DerekPillers]

Bert and Ernie get along great here. It's amazing that how 40 years of working along side each other has deteriorated their relationship. Last I heard, they have separate dressing rooms and don't even think of speaking together off camera. I think a lot of it has to do with Bert's inability to maintain stable relationships with other puppets. Ernie's still a little pissed about when Bert F**ked him out of a whole bunch of money on a joint venture involving something with a pigeon farm.

[Eddie62070]

...or all the times Ernie pulled off his nose, ate all the cookies, flooded their apartment etc.

[shaithis45]

@DerekPillers I think Burt was pissed when he caught Ernie cheating wiht Cookie Monster.

[carleymouse]

aww thats so cute lol!

[Ynnepchan]

lol Xd Bert remindes me on my cat at the end. He rubs up against ppl and is grumpy. XDD

[coyote374]

@Ynnepchan Did Bert just wake up? Why does his hair look like a dead spider that has been smashed?

[tifahentai]

Commercials?! Man the marketing! lol

[NeedlesSTKane]

LMAO Explosions

[Ynnepchan]

Xerox is a type o faxing printing machine company thing. ^^;

[Satoshi9801]

@Ynnepchan It also has a paper mill.

[Ynnepchan]

XDDDd Hahaha

[zacandtaylorrule]

Great one man. I have never seen this. It is hilarious.

[1990babyface]

This mustve been the first episode of Sesame Street?

[bgrasso5]

no no no. this was a week before the first episode.

[antster1983]

@bgrasso5 Two days to be precise. And it was recorded a day before transmission. On NBC of all networks!

[IJustWatchEm71]

TOO COOL!! How in the world did you find this? This is great stuff!

[antsamthompson9]

Nice find!

[JanksterProductions]

I love the way bert kind of sways. They are some really good puppeteers.

[glowworm2]

I love the way Ernie keeps pushing Bert away!

[Jbrangwynne53]

I love that part too, especially when Bert suggests "dancing", and you can hear Jim giggle a little bit at 1:12 when he tries to make Ernie say "No Bert," LOL

[Satoshi9801]

@Jbrangwynne53 I beleive that was just Ernie giggling.

[brightbite]

Cuteness! ^_^

[Beldamshadow]

In the beginning, Jim Henson made Ernie & Bert.

This is a gem, truly.

"Dogs and cats? Explosions? Roller derby?"

Heh heh. Even in the beginning, Ernie was Ernie and Bert was Bert.

[thekingof8]

More like, Jim was Jim and Frank was Frank.
