Sesame Street: Kermit News On Six Dollar Man

[cadman2300]

"What do you expect for six dollars?" XD I never get tired of that line.

[wileyk209zback]

The ending was pretty predictable; but that's why I loved it so much! (i.e. the six-dollar man being so cheap it doesn't do much except wreak havoc) "What do you expect for six dollars?"

[MichaelBrookham]

What do you expect for $6? It will take a lot more than $6 to fix your lab there, Doc.

[ruantengyi]

What a terrific parody of the Six Million Dollar Man

[pepperjackcheese1]

YOU GOTTA REMBER THAT IS STEAM DRY.

[JonnyAMax]

That is SUCH a wicked awesome lab set in the opening.

[NukeOTron]

Well, what did you expect for Six Dollars?

[ZanderJSketch]

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DOOONE!

[timepoet77]

Great example of the section of science fiction called "steampunk". I'm sure today's kids would enjoy this.

[Heidibear76]

Passaic. Lmao! 

[texasghost]

And the sad part about this is...nobody who is of the age of 30 or younger would even know what this parody is about or get the joke.

[gypsycam]

@texasghost sad isnt it

[tpirman1982]

2:38 I can see the black rod that made the Six Dollar Man move around. Funny how bloopers like that can be noticed easily back in the day.

[RPULTZ69]

the first part that Kermit looking at the chemistry set and saying something about the revenuers LOL

[TimelordR]

Now that's comedy!

[yogafan6500]

It's still as funny as it gets. I love this wacky bit from Sesame Street.

[vampyre2000]

I was a huge fan of the 6 million dollar man as a kid. And when I saw this show i just could'nt stop laughing. I have been looking for this video for many years now and I am now 37. Brings back the memories and the tears of laughter.

[DanaAbel30]

I guess $6 million, or even $6, doesn't buy what it used to. LOL!!!!

[Smartboy8877]

@DanaAbel30

No I guess not!

[hell5309]

I can see Kermit the Frog getting into a position based on that of Bruce Almighty based on his career alone.

[BoredAsa2x4]

Kermit the Frog is a legend!

[Dekobee]

Gee, he really is a MAD scientist!

[JMFabianoRPL]

We can rebuild him...

[3Doggface]

Kermit gets the story. My FAV newsman.

[ThirdOfJune4444]

Wow, I haven't seen this in ages! I'm 38 years old now and I remember that robot scaring the sweet be-jesus out of me....so much that I couldn't sleep for many nights and was glued to my mom every time I watched it. My sister who was 2 years younger than me was laughing hysterically along with my parents when that robot ran amuck and jumped up & down and lost its head, but I was terrified. Isn't it strange how some things scare us as kids?

[Nyana007]

@ThirdOfJune4444 This skit scared me too when I was little. Same with the yip-yip martians. But now I think they're cute.

[ThirdOfJune4444]

@Nyana007 Hahaha! I remember the yip-yip aliens. I didn't mind them as much, but never knew what they were saying. I remember laughing hysterically when they pulled their lower lip over their heads when something freaked them out. You're right, they're kinda cute.

[caketakeshh]

crazy professor xD

[stang93756]

I love how Kermit talks about if the revenuers now about this in the beginning

[thefirefighter2011]

@stang93756

not to be confused with the 1974-78 Lee Majors classic sci fi tv series "The Six Million Dollar Man"

[pspboy7]

Wow, I remember seeing this when I was a kid :)

[wileyk209zback]

Who composed the "Waaaah, waaaaaaah!" music at the end? I think it might be Joe Raposo; I know he did the Sesame Street News theme music

[bugbug127]

i wish real news was as happy as this

[kraphtieone]

this is the kind of news i like :)

[brianklick]

30 yrs later you still cant buy jack with $6

[JasonMC72]

You can buy approximately two gallons of gasoline for your car.

[MRREAGAN1]

yes including tax !

[0047124]

well, the tax went up, but you can use an online coupon.

[687mack]

"I'm sure the revenuer's know all about this." Great!!

[dj2bklyn]

I love the ending lines that make all adults laugh lol

[sidirox4eva]

amazing

[NaiTaiDai]

Too bad almost nothing is cheap anymore, huh?

[jonanlsh]

my mother even though she's reaching 50 still likes sesame street for it's hidden humour

[essentialeugene]

Dr. Nobel Price is performed by Jerry Nelson because I can tell in the voice.

[tpirman1982]

@essentialeugene Wrong! Dr. Nobel Price was first performed by Brian Muehl and then in 1984-1988 Kevin Clash voiced Dr. Nobel Price.

[DanaAbel30]

When you add the prices of the bowling ball and the scouring pad together, you'd get $1.97. Then when you add the quarter for the cork, it comes up to $2.22. Adding the olive oil can to that, then you'd get $3.81. Next, when you add the hinges, it comes to $4.01. Then adding the drain pipes, and the spoons, then you'd have $5.21. Finally, adding the cost of the spatulas, then the whole thing really does add up to a grand total of $6.00.

[DanaAbel30]

I calculated it, and believe it or not, it really is $6.

Second-Hand Bowling Ball: $1.38

Scouring Pad: $.59

Cork: $.25

Olive Oil Can: $1.59

Door Hinge (2): $.20

Drain Pipe: $.50

Sppon (2): $.70

Spatulas: $.79

And all that comes up to exactly $6.

[joementos]

@DanaAbel30 and tax-free, unless it was included in each of those parts.

[bigbadT3XAS]

@DanaAbel30 lol

[98shahn]

@DanaAbel30 you are exactly right

[pwnmaster8642]

@DanaAbel30 what about the tax? :P

[Tyranaal]

@DanaAbel30 It's Sesame Street. They had better gotten the math right.

[blablametalhead]

@DanaAbel30  you forgot the tax,,,,,,its mentioned in the vid....

[DanaAbel30]

Well, let me calculate that part, too. The tax would be $.53. So all together, it's exactly $6.53.

[muppetfan33]

What was with the doctor's face expression at 0:29? Was he noticing the cameras?

[dj2bklyn]

this is a funny skit even steve austin would approve lol

[OldSchool845]

Too bad he didn't make those cool "bionic" sounds when he ran around destroying the lab... :)

[LamangoKaijura]

... Crazy Harry and Dr. StrangePork?

[airwolf28]

I love that start up sound.

[finnishminnow]

Thanks for uploading this with great quality.

[DJtim86]

What does he mean by steam driven?

[muppetfan33]

I guess it means he runs on steam.

[zacandtaylorrule]

This is classic. I used to love this one as a kid. Have not seen it in about 25 years.

[dorourke105]

Anyone try adding this up? I don't think it's exactly $6.00, well he also said plus tax so I don't know. The 50 cents a yard really threw me off.

[DanaAbel30]

I added it up, and it's not $6.00. If you don't include the tax, it's $7.50.

[33chiliken]

I was wondering myself if it added up to $6.00

[PuttyKittyHoney1975]

As hilarious as this skit is, the part where the "Six Dollar Man" goes wacko & falls apart used to creep me out as a preschooler. It just looked....wrong. But hey, it's nonetheless a funny skit! On the "Statler & Waldorf, From The Balcony" Internet series, there was a skit of two muppet guys pitching movies ideas, "How about 'The Six Million Dollar Baby'! YES! She's BACK & she's BIONIC!.....uh, no?" LMBO!

[RMG8S]

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE!?!

[meyerjohannes]

Haha! Nucleus Von Fission! Great

[evydaemon]

I'm 25 and I enjoyed it like 20 years ago.

[rodriguez1025]

I love that they managed to sneak i a moonshine joke at the beginning of the segment.

[muppetfan33]

"Whoops-a-daisy!" I loved that!

[muppetfan33]

I'm guessing this was supposed to be a parody of the Six Million Dollar Man?

[finnishminnow]

Professor Von Fission laughed and laughed when The Six Dollar Man knocked things down in his laboratory.

[muppetfan33]

"What do you expect for 6 dollars?" Good point.

[simonizer888]

Passaic, New Jersey must have been proud when he mentioned where he got the spatulas from. =o)

[boopy78]

The bowling ball head always frightened me!

[choklytt]

i think these old sesame street shows are way better than the modern ones. dey shud return to stuff like dis!

[mburmy]

The guys over at Sesame Street NEED to bring this back!

1. Teaches addition skills (they've always loved math)

2. Teaches money-managment skills (we NEED that now with our economy troubles)

3. Teaches just how much you get for your money ("What did you expect for six dollars?")

[charlottepoet]

ha! this was a new one for me and funny!

[rodriguez1025]

"And now, here's Kermit the Frog with another fast-breaking news story!" Man, I haven't heard that in years.

[rodriguez1025]

Also, I just caught Kermit's joke about the "revenuers". There's something to be said for a kid's show that can sneak in references to moonshining, and not have them cut. Brilliant.

[Quasar987654321]

more like 110$ man now a days

[wiley207]

Pretty cool segment! I think the Six Dollar Man reminds me of Pinocchio for some strange reason

[bulletproofKevlar]

hahahaha 6 dollars hillarious the only news I watch is muppet news

[muppetfan33]

Me, too. Does anyone know what that explosion was at the end? Was that the robot, or was that the robot destroying the radio?

[wiley207]

I don't think the robot was fully exploding, I think something inside it set off a small explosion, which wound up short-circuting the robot.
