Sesame Street - The Triangle Is Right

[athrivenessworld]

I think that circle is also right.

[zyzzy13579]

Carl guessing a circle on The TRIANGLE Is Right should be accompanied by the fail horn.

[DRUMMERMAN77]

To really be funny forgetful jones should have been the other contestant and makes it more of a challenge for him since he cant remember anything lol

[jeprice08]

@DRUMMERMAN77 That would do it!

[jeopardy60611]

On Friday, October 28th, 2011, Jeopardy had a clue in the category "THE SHAPE OF THINGS." The answer is:

Something deltoid resembles this shape.

[eternalhalloween1]

Children of course learn through redundance. That was the point of the show. And it works because of the great combination of simplicity, redundance, and a flashy commercial like style.

But that said, it is funny to see one of the Sesamee Street characters getting annoyed by the very technique of the show.

[tristan01101]

I'm 18 years old. Why is this so funny?

[pernelldh]

Q: What would Bob Barker, Drew Carey and the cast of "The Price is Right" (past and present) think about when Sesame Street made a parody of their game show, "The Triangle is Right"?

[tnawcwvictoria]

@pernelldh Not to mention, what would Bill Cullen, Dennis James, Doug Davidson and Tom Kennedy think about this, too? LOL

[cstoczyn]

Carl Is Such A Worrywart!

[cstoczyn]

FTW

[cstoczyn]

OMG!

[cstoczyn]

Poor Gladys

[cstoczyn]

This Is From 1984-1985

[cstoczyn]

Is Gladys A Fan To Guy Smiley?

[cstoczyn]

TRIANGLE MANIA!!!!

[cstoczyn]

Poor Guy Smiley

[cstoczyn]

Gladys Is Such A Ham!

[cstoczyn]

Is The Bermuda Triangle REAL????

[cstoczyn]

Carl:(excitedly): IS IT A CIRCLE????!!!!!

[cstoczyn]

Carl:(excitedly): IS IT A TRIANGLE????!!!!!

[cstoczyn]

Poor Carl

[cstoczyn]

Poor Prairie Dawn

[rtimm777]

Carl said the word mistake 3:40

[cstoczyn]

@rtimm777 LOL

[eagle152f]

Predictable Gladys, trying to steal the show.

[cstoczyn]

@eagle152f LOL

[HeliosPhoenix]

"Lower the Triangle! I mean Lower the Mystery Shape!"

[cstoczyn]

@HeliosPhoenix LOL

[Intrafacial86]

That first triangle is obtuse. The one for the megaquestion is equilateral.

[nintendodailyvideos]

213 the triangle is most definitely right. I wonder if it's a 3-4-5 right triangle, or a 5-12-13 triangle

[muppetfan33]

I have to agree with Prairie. This is a dumb game.

[16shogunelitegreen]

What's so wrong with the word "damn". Sure it had been used in the show "My Parents are Aliens"

[Nanaman12345]

Why isn't this a real game show? It's really challenging.

[nintendodailyvideos]

@Nanaman12345 and idiots would still get it wrong

[HeliosPhoenix]

All expense paid trip to the Bermuda Triangle? I wouldn't want that either!

[pinkosmondfan]

It really does sound like Carl is saying 'Damn'!

[DarthPickley]

"but I don't want the grand prize" "the grand prize is... an all-expenses paid trip to the Bermuda Triangle!"

[lcirej71]

The guy said damn!! The guy who controls the puppet musy be fired!

[Dodgerfn5]

As stupid as the game is, Guy blew it at the 3:06 mark.

[playmates101]

Where are their brains! Prarie Dawn makes a lot of sense in this!

[brianklick]

IS IT A CIRCLE?

WRONG!!!

[Vook]

Even as a kid I didn't like this skit because I was thinking exactly what Prairie Dawn said: "This is a very dumb game."

I loved Oscar's "The Trash is Right" skit though. :)

[Garrettk41]

Prairie sounds quite different in this one too.

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

LMAO, this is awesome....thanks for sharing this... remember watching this YEARS ago!!!

[JonnySerge]

Lol

Prarie Dawn kicks ass

[discoweasel1977]

I wished Telly could've been a contestant on that show because he LOVES triangles.

[BlastFurnaceCanada]

I've been looking for this one for years. The grand prize -- a trip to the BERMUDA TRIANGLE! Prairie should have taken the prize.

[oldzac87]

Was Guy Smiley suppost to be based off of any emcee in particular?

[Silverfox7771]

supposly, i read he was supose to be

based off Tom Kennedy , Bob Barker,

and Gene Rayburn, rolled into one.

He had been created when TPIR took off

in popularry in 72

[Ian16545]

If you ask me, Mathman and Mr. Glitch would've been better contestants for this show.

[DRIVEIN101]

This nonsense must have been based on the quiz show scandals of the 50's.

[andrewcolinwilson]

This is the whole game? This is a pretty silly game! LOL

[BuddyBoy600]

This could have been called "The Shape is Right." BTW, There was another The Price is Right parody that was hosted by Oscar called "The Trash is Right."

[MarshalGrover]

Is everyone but Prairie an idiot?

[hoopersghost]

"Would you lower the triangle--uh, lower the mystery shape, please?"

With hints like those, I can't blame Prairie for hating the game. She's the most level-headed Muppet in the bunch after all...

[andrewcolinwilson]

It was really funny when she was running across the stage.

[Garrettk41]

Guy referred to his game show "To Tell a Face" as stupid, but quite frankly, I think this one is twice as stupid. And Prairie thinks so too. Notice how they've given her different eyes to indicate just how bored she is.

[terrificjoker]

i love this game

[MarshalGrover]

I'm sure Telly would've loved to be here.

[classicssmfan]

Does anyone else (besides me) notice that Prairie's voice is lower than the voice she usually have?

[muppetlover16]

@classicssmfan Yeah it sounds like she hit puberty lol

[antsamthompson9]

I like Prairie. I got to see her preformer, Fran Brill, at the Center for Puppetry Arts. She talked about her carrer as a Muppetear and showed clips of her work. And I got to take a picture with her and Zoe!

[classicssmfan]

You did?  Lucky! haha.

[antsamthompson9]

Why, thank you!

[hoopersghost]

Congratulations; it's not every fan who's lucky enough to get up close and personal with the performers.

[antsamthompson9]

Wow, I must be lucky!

[Jbrangwynne53]

You sure are.

[cstoczyn]

@antsamthompson9 Long Live Fran Brill!
