[joroserocks]

gotta love whoopi! :D

[valarierenee]

I'm not going to lie I was an Elmo hater. I felt he ruined sesame street and stole all the air time, HOWEVER he won me over on this most recent season of Top Chef. He was clowin' fools during the cookie challenge. I fell out laughing. I'm a fan now.

[traumagirl111]

Just imagine if Elmo was on The View. That would be very exciting huh?

[traumagirl111]

I do TrevorLewis 94.

[trevorlewis94]

Don't you love how Elmo says "Whoopi"?

[milkmanv1]

BOTCHAMANIA INVADES SESAME STREET

[TheRealSonicYouth]

"Whoopi will do her own thang"

[TheRealSonicYouth]

Whoopi...its fun to say

[motorbreath1983]

That laugh @1:12. And Whoopi did good!

[TimEddyHughes]

This song should have been in sister act...

[Imfunkay]

Whoopi jingles!

[christianaso90]

Whoopi Goldberg + Elmo = Win...

[PapuiaOla]

I love the way Elmo is saying 'Whoopi'!! <3

[EBMD48]

Whoopi can play with TWO drumsticks in one hand!

[llleeonnn]

[mrspiritualpodcasts]

It's okay Elmo, I'll play with you! Whoopi has come to smile the smile. :D Elmo has come to laugh the laugh. :D Let me play with you, Elmo! I can wear a potato sack and put my hear in dreadlocks if you want! I love you Elmo!

[MissingInReaction]

innocently browsing youtube has taken me from metalocalypse videos to this... in less than two minutes... 

[BatmanAndCrippleJew]

of course she's played one of those instruments... she's black.

[PaddySnuffles]

Awww.. This makes me wish they played Sesame Street in Brazil in the early 90s... Is it wrong that I'm 20 and happily dancing along to the vid? lol

[h8aification]

@PaddySnuffles ..i hope that was rhetorical .i'm almost fifteen and bouncing in my seat to the music

[PaddySnuffles]

@h8aification lol glad to know I'm not the only one. ;D

[9nytuber]

@PaddySnuffles, no, i',m 37 and liking every second of the vid. Grew up on it in Nigeria and wish I could've taped it for my kids..lool

[PaddySnuffles]

@9nytuber lol You might be able to find season DVDs of the oldies.... Sesame Street was never very known in Brazil, (probably because we had our own version of Sesame Street, called Castelo Ra-Tim-Bum) though I did have the 'Muppets in Treasure Island' in VHS... ^.^

[mynameyournameyesyes]

watching this i almost teared up at how much i miss childhood

[orly444]

Where in the world are Whoopie Goldberg's eyebrows?

[orly444]

Where in the world are Whoopie Golberg's eyebrows?

[VampireTears13]

The melody of this song plays on my old Elmo music....thing......

[cscentrlTV]

OK!!! Who are the 15 idiots who "disliked" this vid?!?!?! >:(

[mynxiejynxie]

Elmo for president!

[mikejada1]

[ShylockeBullet12]

[nellie2581]

[SimplyChuck1]

whoopi > neil peart

[Boris82much]

Someone needs to tell Whoopie to keep her damn knees together. Needs to sit like a lady.

[zenofskittles]

whoopi goldberg is my hero

[Disneue]

If the song were longer, Whoopi would die in case of triying to don't lough.

[urmysunshine75]

I love how Elmo's violin plays music just by the bow strumming against the wood of the violin instead of the strings, hahaha!!

[Disneue]

I would be embarressed if i were Whoppi GoldBerg

[declanappleseed]

I just love tearful reunions!

[AllDayMusiq]

I wish Elmo was my little brother.....NO FAIR!!!! Dx

[MrsHarlemJohnson]

She definately started out hitting on 2 and 4 and then ended up on 1 and 3...what a disappointment!  still cute though

[SailorPinkRanger]

I love how much you can tell Whoopi loves being on Sesame Street.

[SimplyChuck1]

i find it funny how the only people that watch these videos are adults and teenagers

[wilfredthetapeworm]

I'm a drummer and i am so offended

[Troublemaker1991]

I love the way Elmo says "whoopi" ^__^

[Irisss1990]

i love whoopi

[dantemaycry89]

Well you have a choice! Live or die! Make your choice...

[MegaSoulband]

[prodigal14]

Awwwwww (: i love sesame street ~-3

[QueenBeatlesWings]

she's actually a good musician, she even got Paul McCartney to sing with her

[windowsforvista]

Violin needs to go up an octave

[MoldytoasterMedia]

was she named after a Whoopi cushion? or was a Whoopi cushion named after her?

[khamikins]

@MoldytoasterMedia she named herself after the whoopi cushion b ut changed it at her mother's suggestion

[daniyah2fresh]

If Elmo goes off of the TV I'll CRY!!

[spongebobcrazy123]

elmo rocks!! =D

[MegaDragonlord69]

you can tell how much whoopis trying not to crack up laughing- i know i am xD

[bbrofl]

I love woopie, for some reason she always sounds so wise

[MrAnonymus01]

omg so cute :D

[syntasticfan]

i love whoopie!! she rocks!!

[Neo2906]

man, this is sooo cute !! :-) this is so precious and useful for the kids. whoopie is one of the greatest actor we`ve ever had. hope she`ll be makin`a new movie in the future.

[bazzaman911]

whoooopie, maaaan i love her name. WHOOOOOPPIIEEE

[MattySP34Ks]

violin ftw.

[tamelamcghee]

Whoopie is another "natural beauty", and that she is! I remember when she first caught my attention....she was doing stand up then....i was intrigued..she brought tears to my eyes, with her naturalness, her openess, and her willingness to share pain and happiness in an authentic way. No one else could have ever stepped into her shoes in "the Color Purple"....she stole our hearts completely,...Steven Spielburg saw this, and Whoopie gave us a blanket of comforting love in that one :)!

[lonfoe]

i wish elmo was real

[keybladechosn1]

@lonfoe HE IS REAL lol. I remember when I saw the man who plays Elmo it was the moment I realized that he wasn't real, a sad day.

[godsdoll]

@lonfoe do you mean he isn't real? WHAT???? This is brand new information!

[lonfoe]

@godsdoll aha that's what i said a long time ago

[LoreleiMission]

@lonfoe Well, Elmo's KINDA real -- I met the guy who muppeteers him, and what a nice guy!

[PurcelulKiki]

@lonfoe Huh? Elmo's not real?

[TherealRNO]

@PurcelulKiki: His performer, Kevin Clash, IS though. Kevin not only plays Elmo, but directs the show in its entirety now, hence why Elmo dominates, naturally.

[PurcelulKiki]

@TherealRNO :) I know, I was just joking.:) I love Kevin Clash, he is amazing!!

[crazygrrl342]

@lonfoe wat do u mean

[cezarten]

@lonfoe he isnt? =(

[missaylaxo]

@lonfoe elmo's not real?! D''x

[XCShorty21]

@lonfoe you mean he's not?!?! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[ihategeneralmotors]

@lonfoe wait. he's not?

[kafcin]

awwwwwwwwwwwww......

[TheBuenosAiresShow]

i don't usually comment on the 'dislikes' a video has had, i believe it to be pointless, but honestly, this is sesame street and whoopi goldberg! how can someone not like it?!

[1k2e3v4i5n]

@TheBuenosAiresShow maybe it's the awesome combination of both which distracted people from the button they originally wanted to hit :D

[nitramgnal]

She's fabulous.

[arlingo]

"You have a choice."

"OH GOOD!!!"

Lolz a lot can be inferred from that

[Menekalo]

zomg elmo is so cute in english :< Im sadly used to ye olde dutch dub of the 90s :P

[karkkiliininam]

0:41 I heard " elmo will play that violin and whoopi.. *makes out with the violin* "

[yankees686]

1:43 look close ELMOS NOT PLAYING :0 SHOCKER

[IOANGELA54]

MOLTO MOLTO BELLO!!!

[catokeeffe]

It's kind of creepy how elmo keeps touching her knee.

[naureensd]

@catokeeffe I know right? It's weird how he's all up in her grill touching her knee.... I sense some s**ual tension O_o

[pinkscarf101]

how does elmo hold the violin....?

[bklynlaw22]

Elmo is left handed like me ^_^ Lefties FTW!!!

[Placidmoose99]

@bklynlaw22 ME TOO!!!!!!

[nellie2581]

@bklynlaw22 I'm also lefty, I was the only lefty in my nuclear family. In my extended family I think it's still the same.

[TherealRNO]

@bklynlaw22: The Muppets ARE left-handed, BECAUSE their performers are right-handed and use their dominant hand to manipulate the Muppet character's head and mouth, whilst the other hand works the other arm.

[bklynlaw22]

@TherealRNO i never knew that.....

[JaimeNEG1]

@TherealRNO Thanks for that...Never to old to learn new thiongs

[TherealRNO]

@JaimeNEG1: Agreed.

[iatromeijn]

ohw its ok whoopi OMG how cute

[DoublezTV]

Let's not ignore the elephant in the room.

What the FUCK is she wearing!?

[kimburleeboo]

@DoublezTV

Lol that's the first thing I noticed. Some kind of weird over-sized long coat business..

[JenAshxDuh]

i love how Elmo says Whoopi!

:D so cute.

[Allybunz18yr]

whoopi lol elmo lol lololol

[FelixFelisis]

Its so funny the way Elmo says WHOOPI!

[vpieken]

I like how the violin is played with the wrong hands. It is like this in every Muppet sketch, even on The Muppet Show.

[vpieken]

I like how the violin is played with the wrong hands. It is like this in all Muppet sketches, even on The Muppet Show.

[xomuxicislifeox]

oh my gosh i remember this sketch!

[TheCherryBomber1]

In soviet russia, violin plays elmo

[nitramgnal]

I really love Whoopi's voice. So also has the most amazing smile - always makes me happy to see her.

[yomuddaso8]

what's with all you haters I love Whoppi she's heaps mad!

[deqcha84]

Elmo is holding his violin on the wrong side ;)

This video is great anyway ;)

[deqcha84]

Elmo is holding his violin on the wrong side ;)

This video is great anyway ;)

[GimpSmurf]

What's sad for me is that I still have the original -vinyl- release of this song. I'm feeling very old...

[ChinaIzInLuv15]

Whoopi has such a soothing voice...they should have like a Nap Time in Sesame Street and she should be hosting it or whatever. haha

[LaMujer89]

cool

[KanesTheName95]

At 1:14, I noticed Elmo laughed a little bit - at the same time, I was laughing at Whoopi's awkward facial expression. I think Elmo was thinking the same thing...

[Zoralk111]

Elmo's not even touching the strings.

[mijntjeH]

I dont like Whoopie!

[CommandantTV]

@mijntjeH why not

[justplayinggames]

I want to play with elmo

[UglyBetty70]

Whoppi gets the drum : Wtf do I do with this thing?

[kddo82]

Whoopi?? Well... Does that mean she Fart a LOT?

[genchandy]

Elmo and Whoopi

sitting in a tree

K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

[frederikkymartin]

i wish i could play the violin just like elmo

[thealmightymiranda]

lol...Elmo tried not to laugh while singing.

[BladesOfMunch]

Wow, Elmo sure has a LOT of friends!

[Sara39985]

She voices Shenzi in the lion king

[pbscraze]

TOTALLY true!

Shenzi: (after being betrayed by Scar) Friends?! I thought he said we were the "enemy".

Banzai: Yeah. That's what I've heard.

(Scar is in complete shock)

Both: Ed? (Ed snickers)

[puppypersonLOTR]

whoa, Whoopi goes quite low! cute video. :)

[JasielMartin92]

Whoopi Rocks!

[hijacker37]

I like this vid

[NekoKiku]

o.O! Elmo is left handed! I never noticed it..

[puppypersonLOTR]

all the muppets are, because the puppeteer needs their right hand to operate the face. I was surprised when I noticed that not too long ago after having seen them all my life.  :)

[pinklover363]

ive seen her in everybody hates chris

[philard1]

i love whoopie

[Daisymai09]

me too

[dwpang]

how is elmo being muppeted?

[martialalex]

strings

[MissChurchGirl2U]

@dwpang good question.......

[Jojubrmeda]

The person who does the voice of Elmo is so good, he couldn't sound cuter like amcfan100 said.

[amcfan100]

I love Whoppie, Can elmo be any cuter? That voice is adorable,I just want to kiss him.. haha

[mrsbundleberry]

Elmo's left-handed !

[KiraTheGelfling87]

@mrsbundleberry actually most of the muppets are left-handed coz their muppeteers use their right hand to operate them :)

[schootingstarr]

pfoh

german sesame street is shit compared to the american original

when i was a kid i never watched it

but if there were any neat guest stars like that in the show i probably would've

[Jojubrmeda]

WHOOPIE

[LoyalCarrie]

Ya.. she played Shenzi.. I adore Whoopi Goldberg. She's funny, intelligent and a great actress.

[YouAreHereNow]

Gotta love Whoopie Goldburg. And Elmo knowing all celebs there are. xD

[Mahogany1974]

Whoopi reminds me of my hair dresser she looks and sounds just like her. =)

[2StArlIgHtz2]

so sweet :D

[MileProwersFan]

:D!!!! WHOOPI IS AWESOME!!!

[marmen789]

lets do some lalas!

[Leroy9223]

i love whoopies smile

[AutonomiClan]

woppie haz same bday as me

[cristianrockerchick]

my fav sesame street song ever guys!

[monmichka77]

Love Whoopie! How old is she? Not a wrinkle in her face.

[AutonomiClan]

IDK but she has the same bday az her

[jvfunn3000]

She's 53 going to turn 54 tomorrow November 13 2009. She's such a funney lady!

[pbscraze]

She is about 54 years old, but she looks like she is 32 again! Whoopi's the QUEEN of movies!

[Sara39985]

@pbscraze she's Shenzi in the lion king movies

[trav88]

@monmichka77 Yeah not a wrinkle or an Eyebrow! I love Whoopi. Shes the reason why the "View" is funny to watch.

[CaitlinBrooksMusic]

@monmichka77 She's 54 now, I believe.

[feeensi]

@monmichka77 like she said in one of her interviews..black does crack, but maybe in the 70s! hihi :D she's a gorgeous woman in every sense of that word.

[TheEsta4444]

@monmichka77

black don't crack! :D

lol

shez AWESOME!!

[TheMrHungryman]

@monmichka77 not a wrinkle in her face....but its one dame ugly face

[monmichka77]

@TheMrHungryman - She may not win any beauty awards, no. But, I bet she knows how to spell damn.

[TheMrHungryman]

@monmichka77 find it hilarious when ppl say about spelling on utube as if u have to spell every word absolutely perfect as if its an english exam

[monmichka77]

@TheMrHungryman - I find it hilarious that, seeing as these posts may potentially be seen by millions of people, that users don't deem it important to use the best English and spelling that they can, particularly when they are handing out insults. Good spelling and English always gives credence to what you say. Otherwise, you sound like just some petulant child who is too shallow to see the beauty in everyone.

[TheMrHungryman]

@monmichka77 hahahha that was exactly what i was talking about, u probally took about an hour writing that, its fuking funny...what a loser pmsl!

[monmichka77]

@TheMrHungryman - Whatever you say. Go eat something. 

[DivineWindOfTheSnow]

@monmichka77

Agreed. Really. If you're going to be mean, at least do it intelligently.

[ashliz8806]

now this is a great sesame street guest appearance. they interact so well!
