At Home with Ernie & Bert (The R Machine)

[efil4own1]

It isn't a classic Muppet skit if it doesn't end with an explosion, someone or something being eaten, or a penguin getting thrown around.

LOL, funny when the machine explodes.

Thank you so much for posting this! It's one of my all-time favourite Ernie and Bert skits.

I don't remember seeing this on Sesame Street as a kid, but it's AWESOME!

I love how the machine responds to "ruined" and "rats" after it conks out!

In this day and age, we could do voice RECOGNITION on a computer and trigger a sound whenever an R word is detected.

Ha, I remember this. I sincerely think classic Sesame Street was one of the reasons why I majored in Creative Writing. All the emphasis on words, like in this one.

LOL, it blew up what a wreck (ding)

[hoopersghost]

This skit rocked (ding!) Thanks for saving such a rarity (ding!)

I agree but more for the "Bathtub Sing-A-Long" song. Now that's one I'd love to see. Ah, to be a fly on the wall. :)

[hackensac]

@LMann32869 do you have the Letter Q soundtrack where Grover keeps bringing up cows?

[uofmrules1]

Oh that would be more fun if it had been a real live skit too.
