Classic Sesame Street animation - "The Carrot"

[dorourke105]

Ohhhhhhhhhh I understand now DON'T write on walls with a carrot.I thought that was one of the do's.

[erracht]

OMFG, I remember this! As a peewee I watched this and was like WTF??? Why are you taking the trouble to explain to me that I am not supposed to stick a carrot in my belly button? This must be one of the most useless lessons ever put on Sesame Street. And yes, I did see the unbowdlerized version with the conks.

[DreamDancer82]

My sister and I used to act the carrot don't's out all the time, except we used Chee-Tos, and we never stuck them in our belly buttons, or hit each other with mallets. Fists yes, mallets, no.

[mightycowhero]

dang! she swallowed the carrot whole!

ok i'm getting some messed up thoughts now.

[jonnytbirdzback]

I noticed on one episode from muppet wiki that was later censored in reairings. I just watched this and I assume that they edited out those hammers if I'm not mistaken, right?

[jonnytbirdzback]

I almost forgot that brush and tennis racket too.

[dubs19842008]

I remember this. I always said "You'll get hit on the head with a pot if you write on the wall with a carrot"

[RuffRuffman371]

I mean her voice.

[RuffRuffman371]

Who is narrating here? who does her voive?

[RuffRuffman371]

Don't stik a carrot in your belly button? that is disgusting.

[PandaMishima]

Ugh! I agree! Of course now some kid is going to do just that--and then trick his sister into eating said carrot, just before he tells her what he did!

[tesubcalle]

OH, dearie. This one was instantly recalled the moment I started watching it.

"Thank you!"

[Bellassett]

Thanks! I loved this one as a kid.

Did the Cayard/Canemaker raisin animation get deleted from YouTube?

[rocketstevo]

The carrots in bunches don't look happy when they are found.

I find it weird that I would find carrots in my clothing drawers and behind curtains. If I could find them, I wouldn't have to go to the market to get them.

[raakone]

It's very funny! NO WAY could something like this get through today!

"Don't eat a carrot with mittens (conk in the head), don't put a carrot in your belly button, (conk in the head by a tennis racquet) and don't write on walls with your carrot! (pan conks in the head)

Those are crazy things!

And i remember in the early 90s, those conks in the head were edited out from this.

[afriendofbean]

I remember seeing those conks in the 80s, and in the late 90s when I saw this skit on those "Don'ts", I was also noticing that something was missing as soon as the woman mentioned the "Don'ts."  Probably those conks were removed from this skit because it was probably encouraging young kids to do that to other people.

[grecomic]

Cayard/Canemaker absurdity at its finest!

Now that I'm older I recognize some of the celebrities standing next to Little Orphan Annie, such as Bette Midler (in the exact same outfit and pose as on the cover of her second album!)

[GrintSistah]

00:57 Woah. she put the whole carrot in her mouth! LOL *wiggles eyebrows*

I totally remember this one. *puts in playlists*

[afriendofbean]

Yes that was pretty amazing how she put the whole carrot in her mouth. I wonder if she swallowed the whole carrot without chewing on it. If she didn't, she could've choked on it.

[Pluffton]

"When someone says 'Gimme a carrot!' That's what he means."

LOL!

[afriendofbean]

The guy who said "Gimme a carrot" looked like he was a thief because he didn't say please and thank you, and he sounded a little angry and rude, and the mask on his eyes made him look like a thief.
