[Skudgeboy]

WHOA..... I've always remembered this one, what a classic!

[arbeitsmann267]

lefty rules

[hevyonez97]

that TAN VAN sure as hell needed a hot wash, lol!!!

[cessnapilotjazz]

Outstanding! Brought back so many memories.

[troyundroy1]

That cop creeping up scared the shit outta me when I was a kid

[djtrixen]

Lefty's the man!

[Nanotheque]

Classic Oldie....Thank you.

[Baseball5030]

2:53 hear that kids, sesame street wants you to run from the police.

[J1613R]

I never thought I'd see this skit again; thank you so much for putting this clip up. Back when Sesame Street was cool (pre Elmo!)

[AlexKrycek411]

I clearly remember, at a young age, throwing stuffed animals at the TV when he came up with HORACE! :)

[6000billion]

sesame street brings da funk! someone rip that beat an loop it!

[newdayrd]

Someone always quotes this clip at work everyday lol....classic

[KnucklesTheEchidna37]

That sure was a complicated plan. He sure needed a lot of time to complete it

[TheGrunge619]

A dude came up to me at a pub and told me to take the golden to the tan van topick up nan.....I responded .....riiiigggghhhhhttt. We had the biggest laugh at that strange encounter.

[MegaPunster]

Haha HORACE!

[bono565]

the police officers face scares the shit out of me

[musiclover1013]

And I take it to Horace.... LMAO. Thanks for allowing me to relive a piece of my childhood.

[See918]

This skit is a fixture in my childhood.

[Filmman85]

Oh well. I'm sure Lefty could stANd 10 days in the cAN better thAN Lindsay LohAN ever cAN, right?

[jfpinell]

@Filmman85 Now THAT was CUTE!!! I gotta' borrow that!

[SocialismIsAlive]

Stan then went on to be an amazing rapper.

[pphunkwephunk]

@SocialismIsAlive

hilarious

[MarioZone69]

That van ain't tan, that's more gray.

[jfpinell]

@MarioZone69 HEY!! You'll mess up the whole AN plan calling it that! :)

[TheGECKO1999]

Super Funny:

Take the golden AN and put it in the tan van and give it to Dan who will take it to Fran.

[MurpheeLaw]

I totlaly agree with wheels85. This was my favorite skit for ever. Then I saw the aliens that went burrrrrring! shake'n their heads. That was THE funniest stuff I've ever seen!

[moviedeeva]

LOL, I love Lefty!

[ibiarain]

this was funny...man

[naganokumas]

That's the most byudiful grey tan van I've ever seen.

[naganokumas]

byudiful byudiful

[sercang]

hadi l-an!!

[GurlsCallMeDaddy]

all does an lol

[geeman856]

i remember this as a kid lol he got caught at the end by the man for stealin the golden an lol

[bostonredsoxluver]

Then I take it to Horris. LOL I laughed so hard I had to go piss.

[bolch88bb8]

hahahahaha for real dude....lefty is a freak

[naganokumas]

I"ve just realised that I've given away too many clues, just like Lefty and his freind.

I should have said 'in a particular year' rather than '1974'.

Damn. I should have rAN.

[naganokumas]

A couple of hints:

1) Don't think north, but think north.

2) Capricorn just made it to my feet, but Santa never made it to my capital in 1974.

[naganokumas]

A riddle for you:

TAN ANd ochre are often confused. But where I'm from, it's easy to spot the difference.

I grew up in a place where the colour ochre is significant.

Even our flag has ochre as the dominant colour.

The capital city of where I'm from, my home town, is named after the mAN who is always mentioned during our biggest debate. CAN you guess where I am from?

P.S. It's bigger thAN Texas.

P.P.S. The answer is contained in my previous P.S.

[TelephoneRock4ever]

I've read in Sesame Street: A Celebration of 40 Years of Life on the Street that Lefty was in a sketch where he was trying to sell the letter U to Kermit. I'm not making it up. I'd like to see that.

[TelephoneRock4ever]

The music from 0:01-0:12 is really catchy!

[naganokumas]

That's my favourite line, too.

But I assume you meant "Horace".

Actually, your version has its giggles, too. Perhaps intentional. If so, forgive me.

Horus was an ancient Egyptian god.

It would be interesting to see the 'golden AN' taken to Horus.

[JamieDanielMyers]

"for stealing the Golden An. Let's go. Ahhh, I should a ran"

[unkleduke]

"my name's stan, i'm the man, you just got 10 days in the can..."

this is GOLD jerry!! GOLD!!

[Kidactuary]

"I take the golden "an", I put it in the tan van and I take it to Horus."  lol

[teenssuckballs70]

this is rad!!!!!!!!!!

[djmrnelson]

hahahah holy shit.  this is exactly the type of stuff sesame needs right now. This skit alone shits on every skit/episode they have made after Jim Henson passed on.

[ylprevatt3675]

WOW...JUST LIKE OLD TIMES

[whitecrow222]

i've been looking for this one for eons...i always liked this one the best......

[donnarapture]

Aw, man! This was always one of my favorites - yay!!!! :-D

[DanoKrazy]

The van looks gray, not tan!

[bi0boy]

yea that always puzzled me why they said it was tan, even though it rhymes a bit better than gray. I guess it's just a van of a different color

[blisterfree]

@bi0boy I think that's because the skit was original going to be called The Golden A. ;-)

[MsPandaRosa]

@bi0boy

Maybe they originally planned to steal the golden AY (or EY) but that didn't work out. Good thing the van's an inbetween color.

[jfpinell]

@DanoKrazy But saying that will mess up the whole AN plan man! Comments like that they should BAN! :)

(I couldn't resist!)

[Garrettk41]

"I should have ran."

Actually, Lefty, it's lucky for you that you didn't. Because if you had, Stan would have had to go for his gun.

[grish76]

That beat at the beginning is pretty dope

[jtomally9681]

I always loved this.

[trishagg]

[assgoblin9999]

How old school is it the way the cop is like "I'm the man""

[TelephoneRock4ever]

It is very old school. I like that.

You'll never hear today's cops say that.

[ksose12]

how theF did this dude come up with horace!!! lol!

[hj86]

He was in a rush!

[TelephoneRock4ever]

That's random humor for you right there! Mm-mm-mm, is that Lefty silly.

[IMediaCorp]

the good stuff

[hj86]

Lol "My name is STAN, I'm the MAN. You just got 10 days in the CAN for stealing the golden AN. Let's go."

"Ahhh I should have RAN!!!!!" lol funniest thing ever!

[usernmes]

the tan van was rite ther!he shud hav just gave it to dan!!!

[MIKECNW]

10 days in the can?

It should be 10 years becuase they'll certainly do it again.

BTW notice all that clicking noise in the background?

[FreakyFreek89]

the left one sounds like a young De Niro xD

[wheels85]

heh heh. gangsters. That's the kind of old school sesame street that they would never show today. Sadly. This was quality entertainment and humor. Too much elmo's world now.

[kreegoo5]

@wheels85 omg true

[jayz146]

@wheels85 Riight

[mainmanhocolo]

@wheels85 Yeah. This is what really educates the kids. They just don't see it anymore.

[brianklick]

now this is the kind of sesame street sketch they should put on now-a-days

[Clone1260whoOWNS]

Gangsters?

[antsamthompson9]

I can tell Frank Oz did Lefty, Jerry Nelson did his boss, and Jim Henson did Stan.

[FuryChord]

anyone! a word that has an but doesn't make that plan (an) sound

[haloid1934]

mundane?

[FuryChord]

a raspy bert voice. nice!

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Real smooth, too.

Riiiiiiiiight......  ;-)

[OtherBrother09]

Very cool.
