[rugra1000]

[tigerspride111]

Snuffy Looks High

[Blondiechickie1972]

original Snuffy is nightmare fuel AAAAAHHHH

[DancingSpiderman]

Snuffy is the way he is because Jerry Sandusky got ahold of him

[PrincessMedia2011]

When they meet in 1971 for the first time, they look like they got wasted. ;( Its a good thing they fixed them up later on.

[bigJJBulldog22]

Please Stand back as I RIP THE WATER FROM MY TRUNK OF HELL AS I RISE MY SKULLS OF THE DEAD TO REPLACE IT WITH FIRE!

[gavin0883]

[Blondiechickie1972]

[xXAnimeCat203]

DA FUK IS DAT

[KaijuWarlordKing]

Snuffy has Hedorah's eyes!

[Mastapiece15]

how the hell can you think he looks scary? that's your childhood right there and what a great childhood it was

[taurusgirl65]

My first reaction? Creepy looking eyes! EEEEEEK!

[BruderSeth]

[SydneyMarie61]

[smileyface31799]

You people do realise sesame street must develop there characters... ets look at big bird in the first episode, and look now, and we all love big bird! So man up and love Snuffy!

[89Czeko]

LMAO!!!

[MsTexas73]

LOL @ some of your comments. Sooo funny. My guess is that back in the day we were not the wimps some kids are today. NOTHING seemed to scare us back then. Remember we were LITTLE and would watch stuff like the Omen and what have you, so Seeing Snuffy in this state was nothing to us.

[JDragucci2010]

Creepiest fucking thing I've ever seen.

[pianokezz]

Why in the world did we not run in horror from our televisions - good grief - Snuffy should have scared the snot out of us!!

[BasementsFinestTV]

snuffy was high

[11cookiemunster11]

1971 snuffy looked and sound like a perv lol

[xxxxxxxxxxvxxxxxxxxx]

Its very apparent that Snuffy had that lazy eye surgically fixed.

[TurboxFire]

HOLY POP-TART IN A PENCIL SHARPENER!!!!!!

[euniqua74]

What a HOT MESS!!! LOL!!!

[crocetti1984]

What a difference green eyes and a voice can make! Horrifying Snuffy!!!!

[ragmavel7]

[filkt]

So, the LSD Jim Henson took was, like, the kindest our world's best scientists and shamans ever invented, right? Right?

[Flaky80]

[Lenna646]

Ohhh My Gawshhh.. Snuffy's eyes!!!! :( 

[skeaneable]

who could ever forget that fateful day back then Big Bird and Snuffy used to freebase crack and cocaine!

[TheOrchDork100]

2:27... "Please stand back." I started crying at that part.

[TheOrchDork100]

[MLL561]

[GameStation3]

[prymo9]

Back to hell with you!

[clintpoonae]

[yamba01]

I superglued huge googly eyes to my cat's butt.

[colemorris17]

This has GOT to be a pisstake. I've been watching Sesame Street since 1982 and Snuffy NEVER looked like that in the real show,,,

[fadeintoyoureyes]

@colemorris17

No misstake, This is what he original looked like in the 70's.

[OnlineLamb]

Does anyone else notice how not only does Snuffy sound sad but also sounds robotic in his early appearances?

[Causimdoinyourmom]

[MarioZoneAlt69]

1:22 to 1:28 if you listen really closely you can hear the Sesame Street credits theme.

[dimlight49]

Snuffalumpagus is scary as BALLS.

[xEiLL33nx]

@dimlight49 well he was supposed to be like a child molestor.... comes and sprays thing out of his trunk and dissappears when ever the adults come .... until like 1989 something like that that the adults firt saw him ...

[gabeguzman]

[SlapCatsClubSeals]

"Ahh yes I remember it well you just got out of pre school Bigbird and I took you to my magic cave and sprinkled water all over your flower and taught you my ways so you can show all the children of Sesame Street the magic of flowers.

[Yarg277]

Snuffy obviously scared the shit out of Big Bird back in 1971.

[SportCardHero29]

When Big Bird meets Snuffy in 1971, Snuffy looks like he's high

[qjnisha]

this scares me

[polarity345]

woah i like snuffy with the way he was when i watched the show in 1987...not scary i can see why they changed him up a bit

[meowkie]

UMMMM I'm sorry. 1971 Snuffleuphagus scares the living shit out of fucking me.

[q223344]

snuffy is on drugs

[AttentionDefiOhShiny]

........... Uh..

[yahooveritas]

Snuffy was scary looking! Either he was high on drugs or didn't sleep for weeks!

[SuperSenshi]

(1:04) ...Did Big Bird just say 'hark'? Wow.

[Hemley1]

@SuperSenshi Yup!

[mari14b]

norwegian "sesam stasjon" is much cooler ^_^ there, the yellow chicken is a girl named Alpha. We have no snuffaluffagus though... But we have Max Snekker!

[aros09123]

How many hits did snuffie take on the bong before this show? He looks like he's inhaled car fumes for several hours.

[loudrgfan]

Big Bird and Snuffy were played by different people back then weren't they.

[TherealRNO]

@loudrgfan: No. Snuffy was (by Jerry Nelson and Marty Robinson), but Bird has always been Carrol Spinney.

[SOADafi]

how can something so fluffy and cute looking be so evil looking and sounding

[XanithTheSilencer]

lol i love snuffaluffagus

[webkinzlovergal]

Oh yes i am a snuff-a-luff-a-gus

xDDD

[sammicat1211]

wow bigbird looks so weirdd XD

[smellyape72]

i killed one

[bgrasso5]

even his performer, jerry nelson, sounds depressing and sounds like he has no emotion at all. good thing they changed his personality. LMAO LMAO LMAO!!!!!!

[danimegmail]

@bgrasso5

i agree!....plus just look at the eyes on Snuffy -,- Good thing they changed the entire puppet

[noangel1987]

snuffy looks scary as hell

[014RCKR]

omg snuffy looks and sounds like he has a hangover. *-* lmao

[stupidguyx]

Fairly frightening, but if I have kids they will watch this just like I had to.

[danimegmail]

O_O look at snuffy!!!!!

[McBlargy]

Big Bird sounds like a pedo and Snuffle sounds like a serial killer lol. I love sesame street

[jerhouck]

[Dizzles]

[rockieprincess]

@Dizzles LMFAO

[pawn2501]

@Dizzles he always looks stoned

[Dizzles]

@pawn2501 nah snuffy went to rehab he on some other shit now just look at the color of his eyes

[kittea24]

Snuffleupagus looks scary good thing they gave him a makeover lol :P

[rlbluver]

i think that a zombie got him before he met big bird then if big bird touched the water he would become a zombie

[sorcerykid]

I love how he says "Ohhhh you want to water these flowers right heeere. Please -- Stand -- Back." It's hilarious and scary at the same time!

[VohnExel]

Holy crap, that would've given me nightmares! He looks so evil and mean, yet he's so emo, lol.

[75chris6]

Snuffy sounds emo (lol mr. snuffleupagus funny name)

[danolson68]

Snuffleupagus sounds like a pervert.

[tOFFjEPP]

Kinda... Eeyore like... but scary

[LADYWAYNE247]

lol me and my son was watching it. he's 2 but he nos the charaters of mostly all the cartoons. wen he say snuffy he goes. "see snuffy eyes". lol yea da r weird

[iseaall1205]

Lol original snuff looks REALLY high

[GerbilEssences]

And green eyes lol!

[Cty2]

looked liked it wanted to eat big bird

[katsonya]

Wow, the original Snuffy looks kinda scary! I like the name so much that I named one of my rescued orange cats after Snuffleupagus! But I had to laugh at at Big Bird's line "a Snuffleupagus, Gosh, you hardly ever see those anymore."

I thought, why didn't the adults ever see him and call Animal Control?

[Chocogirl897620]

poor snuffy, he must be so scared when the adults crowd around him!! i love snuffy, he's one of my characters in this great show.

[Chocogirl897620]

1:06 what happened to my watering can? why is it long, brown and fuzzy? and why is there a horrifying animal(i think) attached to it? well, i guess ill use it..

[Champraves311]

This would scare the crap out of any 4 year old

[collgoff]

Why Snuffy's eyes are green whean Big birdfrist met Snuffy?

[crazymariamlr]

snuffy is sooo scary lol

[jacobs0954]

i like today's snuffy better than that one. especially because of the yellow eyes. they're freaky.

[LincolnHeightsrocks]

This is how they should have done that clip. Showing a real flashback of how they first met, instead of a fake one.

[jonnytbirdzback]

Exactly!

[loudrgfan]

@jonnytbirdzback 1971 looks scary, can I see the original flashback clip please.

[MoonKnight14]

@jonnytbirdzback I was laughing so hard when big bird first saw Snuffaluffagus and he was just standing there.

[peppypenguin101]

@LincolnHeightsrocks but if they did it this way kids would get scared by

pedo big bird

and stoned snuffy

[PoetryEmotionNJ]

Those eyes would have given me nightmares as a kid LOL

[MarshalGrover]

When the builders made that puppet, they even consider that the eyes may be creepy?

[MuppetPro]

Oh yes I agree, I remember when I first seen the original footage, It scared me. ;)

I wonder if Snuffy was originally ment to be in only one episode because he looks like a temp puppet. Looks like he'll fall apart any minute. Look at his eye in the begaining, it looks loose.

I heard that Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt has back problems with him so they made story excuses like, oh he's sick or oh Snuffy's on Vacation. Then Marty Robinson came it and the rest is history. ;) _Eric

[wiley207]

Not only that, the original Snuffy reminds me of Eeyore!

[danidon8276]

I was going to say that, he even sounds like Eeyore.

[1990babyface]

@wiley207 Oh? So the new one doesnt???

[moatguy]

And Bryant Young.

[moatguy]

Well I heard Jerry Nelson did Snuffy first, Michael Earl did him next,

Marty Robinson did him afterward. I could be wrong but that's what someone said on another video of this.

[moatguy]

No first it was Jerry Nelson who preformed Snuffy.

Then it was Michael Earl.

Then it was Marty Robinson.
