Classic Sesame Street - but is it rotten?

[sharkslope]

Frank "The Trashman" Reynolds!

[kingsize127]

This whole bit is pure genius (even the annotations are hilarious)

[DanaAbel30]

Danny is definitely the grouch type. After all, he was the Penguin.

[afriendofbean]

That's true. Also, as I see the rotten umbrella with bananas at 1:28, reminds of the umbrella weapons that Danny DeVito as "The Penguin" used on the movie "Batman Returns." (The rotten umbrella with bananas almost looks like the umbrella weapons where the block of wood that it's sitting on makes it feel like it's the container that the weapon umbrellas were sitting inside).

[klwewf]

But, he was Louie DePalma first!. Now, THAT guy was rotten. You know about the Louie character?

[afriendofbean]

I used to like it a lot when Danny DeVito said "my card" at 0:48. Whenever I would hand something to someone when I was very young, I always would say "my card" just like Danny DeVito said here.

[CaitlinBrooksMusic]

That looks like Danny DeVito! Could it be him?

[afriendofbean]

Yes, that is Danny DeVito.

[danniedanniedannie6]

my favorite part is the fried eggs on the toaster.

[afriendofbean]

Yes, that's my favorite part too. When I was very young I used to do the same thing that Danny DeVito did at 2:38 when pulling the slice of bread out of his jacket pocket but, I always put the slice of bread in my shirt and whenever I pulled it out, it was always breaking since bread is very soft, and sometimes whether the bread broke or not, I was always getting crumbs on my chest. I did wonder back then how Danny DeVito pulled the bread out without it breaking.

cool story bro

[ninjachipzanuff]

is that danny devito?!

[moatguy]

Yes.

[afriendofbean]

Yes.

Oscar:This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Beautiful? Surely, he meant rotten, right?

[funkyshade]

you know what i think... i think that oscar looks like he's made out of weed

[3775637]

You know what I think? You're a sick person to think of that. Oscar was an innocent little grouchy guy who taught us a lot about attitude.

[funkyshade]

And a lot of you guys should learn to take a joke. Seriously. That's what i think.

[Marbles471]

Funny thing about that whole "down the street" backdrop you see starting at 0:27:

The weird thing is, nowadays in that spot there's just a big facade of a brick building (complete with ivy growing all over it), To be literal about it, it's as if in recent years some contractor built an apartment house right in the middle of the street, traffic be damned.

So, since there's no longer any actual street visible in either direction, by all appearances Sesame Street is now Sesame Courtyard. XD

[nickkristin]

wow what an indepth look at 1 sec of life. good job.

[Marbles471]

1 second of life in THIS clip. When added up over the years, many, many seconds.

[nickkristin]

i understand now, i dont know how i could have been so inconsiderate. please excuse me for now this issue bothers me aswell.

[samsticka]

I'm sure he could've taken the umbrella with the bananas in it. The bananas would've gone rotten overtime.

[moatguy]

Whisler's Mud! LOL

[samsticka]

What kind of whistle is that anyway?

[conbasman]

It's like Mr. De Vito's audition clip for his role as The Penguin on Batman Returns. Funny.

[samsticka]

The bananas aren't rotten?  They look rotten to me.

[moatguy]

Yeah they do to me as well. But maybe he was expecting them to be black all over.

[samsticka]

That could be it.

[moatguy]

And maybe squishy. But those are just my guess.

[samsticka]

He could've taken the bananas. I'll bet they would've turned brown over time. Then they'd be really rotten to his satisfaction.

[moatguy]

Yeah. But maybe he only had a limeted time to show somthing.

[tomakalinus]

Funny bit. I like the shot around the corner of the Street, starting at 0:28. But who is "Mike" and why does he spend all day pulling on ropes for Oscar?

[KingSlifer]

sawing14s I totally agree with on that boinging noise being a classic.

[Peachbaby777]

Very cute. How did you know who was in the trash can suit?

[mygirlfriendisback]

A Museum with Trash? I don't get it?

[samsticka]

I remember this. The bananas in the umbrella and the whistle.

[Garrettk41]

Wasn't there yet another clip with Oscar and Danny De Vito, one where the latter is waiting for a grouch bus and it drives right on by without stopping.

[afriendofbean]

Yes, that was the skit with Bruno the Trashman carrying Oscar while waiting for the bus.

Also, Danny DeVito was in another skit with Oscar where he wore the same clothing as he is in this skit. In that skit, they were both doing laughing. They were either laughing to see who has a better laugh or, Oscar was doing teasing laughs at Danny DeVito where Danny DeVito was copying and doing the laughs just like Oscar was doing.

[Garrettk41]

Yes. Sawing14s uploaded that one long ago.

[afriendofbean]

I wonder if that was the first time/skit that Oscar met Danny DeVito as the Grouch Curator of the museum of trash since at 0:44 Oscar said "the same" probably meaning "the same Oscar from the last time when doing laughing teases" or, he must've meant that Danny DeVito looks the same since last time when doing the laughing teases. I might be wrong about that but, if the one where they did the laughing was the second time they met, then Oscar probably would've given trash to him for the museum.

[klwewf]

What did you say?

[afriendofbean]

In case you didn't know, there really was a skit where Oscar and Danny DeVito did laughing teases to each other.

[klwewf]

I know. I contributed to the comments on that video yesterday. I just wasn't following all your expedition about this video. It was a bit much for a Sesame Street skit.

[afriendofbean]

I know. Some people call street scenes (including with celebrities) skits.

[klwewf]

Oh, okay. You're an antagonistic Internet Troll. Thanks. But, no thanks. You can pick someone else to mess with. I'm the wrong one. I'm not good at it. Nor do I care to be.

[afriendofbean]

Relax. I don't know why you are arguing and getting defensive.

[GroverKent]

Again with the annotations?

[antsamthompson9]

Nice segment, but I don't see any annotations. Is there a glitch or something?

[antsamthompson9]

Never mind, I see them now. Nice ones at that!

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

It must have been nice to have Danny DeVito on Sesame Street, these days the kids are lucky if Wayne Brady shows up.

[GroverKent]

I remember the two bits Wayne did on SS, lol.

[Sickopath333]

HE'S GOT FEET!!!!!

[MarshalGrover]

You've been uploading quite a lot of Grouch segments recently. (Not that I'm complaining, Oscar's my fav. character).
