Sesame Street - Monsterpiece Theater - Guys and dolls

[MondoBeno]

Dopey.

[lawknoxville]

She sleeps with her truck?

[1990babyface]

Guys playing with dolls is hella gay

[hoopersghost]

Despite what Ruby implies about teddy bears being feminine, I'd say that most preschoolers (boy or girl) like stuffed animals equally. A "gendered" costume or decoration might make them think of teddies differently--my little brother kept a plush Smokey for years--but otherwise, I'd guess that few kids young enough for Sesame Street say "Yuck, only a girl sleeps with a bear!"

[muppetlover16]

@hoopersghost I miss Ruby, Camille Bonora gave her a cute voice, anyone see Herry and Ruby becoming a couple?

[athull08]

Me present musical Guys and Dolls

It all about Guys and their Dolls

So now, Guys and Dolls.

What did you say this play was about?

[gearshift35]

Well, Sesame Street was all about education...and it really played a huge role in molding kids at a very fundamental level. We're now in the second generation (third?) after Sesame Street first aired. I can't imagine what kind of person I may have become if I hadn't grown up with it.

[soadrocks4]

does that mean that the blue guy is gay and and the girl likes other girls lol?

[SaimDI]

Love how this is breaking down traditional gender stereotypes.

[zitalee2]

from the way sesame street portrays these plays and things in monsterpiece theater it would probably make little kids wanna see the real musicals, but since they'd be too young to get what's going on they'd probably be dissappointed

[anemone9]

I grew up watching the film version of Guys and Dolls.

[zitalee2]

@anemone9 sweet!!

[ErichoTTA]

Amazing how this can still be entertaining after all the years since you've watched the show.

[avelvetvamp92]

Firstly I thought Cookie wants to eat the doll...XD But that would be to scary for little children... :)

[petermullinvideos]

Most teenagers like to play teddy bears. xD

[deanster57]

i prefer sesame street the best show of our lives-tori

[mr3urious]

Herry and Ruby are both really cute. And so is Cookie, to a certain extent. :)

[80sKid4ever]

Love Jim Hensen...............love the messages in his work. Rest In Peace

[jmkeller]

Subtle adult humor there

[Desdemona1564]

Classic!!!

[cesariojpn]

I remember Harry, but who was the Yellow Female Monster?

[TonyDuMont]

It was Ruby. Whatever happened to her?

[moogle301]

I remember when i was 3-4 i wanted a remote control car and my brother was 1-2 and wanted a play tea-set for christmas, and my great aunt being unsure about it until she saw how happy we were with them

[teenangel93]

My favorite "Monsterpiece Theather" sketch. I'm doing the play, and tonight is the opening show!! :D

[HulkamaniacBrandon]

Howd the show go?

[teenangel93]

it was awesome!! I'm getting the dvd this week!! =D

[Garrettk41]

And who did you play?

[teenangel93]

a missionary gal (church person) and a movie star in the runyonland (opening) scene. I'd had a solo in that part!! :D

[Garrettk41]

Neat.

[shinyglass]

hahaha koolness

[CCpolitico]

I was sort of expecting Cookie to eat the doll...haha that might be too dark.

[graphicviolins]

I was saying aloud to myself, "Oh no. He's going to eat the doll. Is he going to eat the doll? Don't eat the doll, Cookie!"

[Nightmastercool97]

Great i remember this sketch because it was one of the first sketches on Sesame Street that taught people that its okay for litle kids to go outside the gender roles and sex sterotypes such as girls always have to play with dolls and boys always have to play with trucks; it is one of the leassons that was taught and was similar to the 1972 television speical Free To Be You and Me.

[Muppephile]

@Nightmastercool97 yeah. Funny that people assume it's a message about gay children, when it's really just gender issues.

[teenangel93]

cool! i'm doing the play soon! :)

Its one of fav monsterpiece skecth! :)

[1Mudkip88]

I was replying to lizzykat2 and Futuramaooy

[buck2576]

I almost spit up my water. After being in guys and dolls, this was a much appreciated video!

[Garrettk41]

Who did you play?

[thisissotardo]

Bahaha,'guys and dolls' the musical is awsome, but this rocks it's ass.

[dramadominique]

oh...they're canceling cookie monster! =(

[teenangel93]

I REMEMBER THIS ONE!!! I LOVE THIS!!! 5 stars

[bqrass276]

Wow that's funny, I remember sleeping with my stuffed black and wite puppy.

[lizzykat2]

I remeber that

[Futuramaooy]

Holy Heck, I think I forgot this one, but then I heard it a bit, and it came right back to me. This is why I love YouTube, thanks for uploading, and for bringing one more thing from my childhood back :)

[lizzykat2]

I think it's cool don't you

[1Mudkip88]

me too YouTube rocks

cause if I need help with a video game someone on YouTube always has the answer

Long Live YouTube!

[brightbite]

Geez, Cookie Monster speaks even lower when he is being super sweet to his doll!!

[acrobatdog]

This Is A Great Skit. It shouldn't Been Some Girls Really Like To Play Action Figures like Me.

[wiley207]

I would've preferred the original Union Jack version or one with the extended Library intro, but this will do.

[fluffyqueer]

That statement of "I love what they were trying to do, BUT..." is funny and really popular... because while many of us appreciate Sesame Street feminism, we question the reality and parental judgment of kids sleeping with toy trucks.

[Garrettk41]

Ruby rocks. Zoe stinks!

And who doesn't love Herry?

I'm glad this one is back up.

[ISNorden]

Poor girl...I support feminism, but not hugging toy trucks in bed (those things have sharp edges and parts that could choke a toddler if the truck broke). Cool song parody anyhow--five stars!

[OofusTwillip]

My parents were way ahead of their time. When I was 2, they gave me a Playskool workbench (which they then took away for a while when my brother was born & I used the little hammer on his little head). When I was 3, my dad gave me a lime-green Buddy-L dump truck (which I still have, since it's one of my favourite colours)!

[austinmuppet]

Wow, Herry keeps lots of cool stufff in his bed! :P
