I had to wonder when Grover said, "Another satisfied customer." If Mr. Johnson was a "satisfied"(sarcasm)customer, what would an UNsatisfied customer's reaction be?
I'm noticing a few interesting things here. Observe how, when given the water bed telegram, Mr. Johnson never actually denies being named Fred. And it was later indicated that that is indeed his first name. Then, years later, he is entertained by the Squirrel Nut Zippers at Birdland. The lead singer seems to know him (even referring to him as her friend Fred) and puts a hat on his head. Could this be his old friend from Buffalo, finally returning his favorite hat after all these years?
I can only hope so, esp after all the misery Fred Fat Blue Johnson has suffered, if inadvertently, at Grover's over-anxious hands. That would be a nice way to settle the Sad Affair of the Lost Hat. :)
Probably Mr. Johnson still doesn't know Grover that well which is why as soon as Grover knocked on his door, Mr. Johnson opened his door and said calmly to Grover "what is it?" In all other skits, whenever Mr. Johnson comes to a store, restaurant, bakery, etc. and sees Grover working there he says to Grover with anger "oh no, it's you!" In another skit where Grover was delivering a telegram with Elmo and knocked on Mr. Johnson's door, Mr. Johnson said "it's you, go away I'm taking a nap!"
Do I look like a MRS STAR to you? Gosh how could Grover get that part dumb youre talking to a man and TWINKle TWinkle MRS STAR???? oh gosh I cant stop laughing at that part
Mr. Jenkins is performed by Jim Henson with a different voice. He's built from the same puppet design, but he's not the same character. As evidencd by a lack of familiar characteristics normally displayed by Mr. Johnson when in the presence of Grover.
Maybe the real Uncle Jay became an uncle only just recently, and as part of his birthday telegram, his Aunt Frida was calling him Uncle Jay in congratulations.
"Another satisfied customer." You think he is satisfied, Grover?
Though notice how Mr. Johnson doesn't seem to surprise to see Grover in this case. Knowing his previous experiences with him, you'd think he'd be like "you! How did you know where I lived?"
"Mr. Johnson, ho, ho, ho, I met you once in Buffalo, I found your hat the other day, please come get it (tap dancing) right away!" I REMEMBER THIS! Thank you SO MUCH for posting!
L.M.A.O This Is Pimp!! I Loved ALL The Little Skits When Grover And This "Biddy-Eyed" Looking Puppet Met Up!!! Grover, Super Grover Andf Cookie Monster Were My Favorites!! And They Still Are. The Sad Thing Is I Still Watch Sesame Street With My Little Nieces!!! (4 And 7)Yeah, I Know. I'm A "Grade-A" Loser With A Capital "L"!!! L.O.L
OMG, you have no idea how long I've been searching for this clip!!!!! :D I remember watching this as a kid and cracking up(like I'm doing now). I LOVE the line "Do I look like a Mrs. Star to you?" and Grover replies, "In this light, no." LOL!!!!! :D The end was hysterical too!!!! :D However, I think he fainted rather than hanged himself. Thank you so much for posting!!!!! :D
HOLY SMOKES-OH MY GOD! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS CLIP LITERALY FOR YEARS NOW! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THAT CLIP HERE! I saw this at my friends house when we were both in 7th grade in 1993!I can't forget when we both watched this when we couldn't decide what to watch on TV!
We both LITERALY wet our pants in great laughter! It was the "Mrs Star buy my car" that made us burst in laughter the most! Again, this clip has been in the back of my memory since then, and Youtube just dug it up!!
YES! I loved this! For years I could only remember one of the funniest lines said by 'Fat Blue' which was "AND I DON'T KNOW ANY BINKYYYY!!!" Classic! Great to see it again in its entirety!
"Do I look like a MRS. Star to you? LMAO!

In this sketch he is called Mr. Johnson, and in the sketch with the elevator - Grover calls him Mr. Jenkins.

Mr. Jenkins is performed by Jim Henson with a different voice. He's built from the same puppet design, but he's not the same character. As evidencd by a lack of familiar characteristics normally displayed by Mr. Johnson when in the presence of Grover.
