Sesame Street: Kermit News And Santa Claus

[rambam1204]

I'll bet the three of them set this whole thing up on purpose just to disgruntle Kermit.  What do you think?

[wileyk209zback]

Heh, at first glance the plastic Halloween mask the Easter Bunny pulls out at 1:20 appears to be a Nixon mask, but when freeze-framed, on closer inspection it appears to be based off the monster from "Frankenstein." (Too bad, a Nixon mask would've been pretty funny, especially seeing as this segment was from 1974-1975.)

Too bad you'd never see anything like this on Sesame Street today.

[GreatLakesGoddess]

Classic!!!!!

[JesseOliver111]

"WILL YOU GET OFF MY LAP!" LOL!!!

[tootalo]

does any one eles hear that noise in this clip?

[wileyk209zback]

@tootalo At 0:18? Sounds like they were getting Richard Hunt's sleigh bells ready

[sha8808]

I love how even tho Kermit is puppet, you can always tell when he is angry!!

[DanaAbel30]

I was making a holiday joke.

"Uh pardon me. Who are you?"

"Well I'm Santa Claus I'd thought you'd regonize me."

[thommieboy89]

Thats bert with a beard!:P

Classic Kermit is brilliant. The way he talk to kids and the puppets is structured and mature but in the sense where it is comical satire. Like he himself can sometimes not take the insanity of Sesame Street. Ah, Jim buddy you are missed greatly. Classic Muppets and Sesame Street are just pure epicness.

RICHARD HUNT as The Easter Bunny

JERRY NELSON as The Witch

FRANK OZ as Santa Claus

[AnimationDiana]

I don't think I'd want Santa Claus sitting on my lap. He would be much too heavy.

[andrewcolinwilson]

Could someone put up the Snow White one with the wicked witch and her magic mirror and the segment where Big Bird writes a story about a frog who asks a witch for a potion to change him back into a prince if they have it?

[spendiferouslochness]

commercialism. not religion at all.

:)

[PandaMishima]

@spendiferouslochness

And rather confused commercialism at that. Santa Bunny delivering pumpkins on Christmas morning?

[MaStormy]

HUH!!!!!I LOVE THIS!!!

[ahill868]

wait say that once more...i said hohoho...YOUR SANTA CLAUS I'VE BEEN LOOKIN ALL OVER FOR YOU...LMAO

[ScratStitch]

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen this before. It's so funny!

[kungfujiapple]

This sketch appears on:

"Sesame Street" episode 0777 (April 8, 1975)

"Sesame Street" episode 0840 (January 30, 1976)

"Sesame Street" episode 1933 (April 4, 1984)

[tommyorlando2001]

"What are you talkin' about ???" lol

[Garrettk41]

Any clip with all four, Jim, Frank, Jerry, and Richard, is an absoulute gem. And this is no exception. Great characters and great confusion. How about the other news flash with Santa in it? Does anyone have that available?

[mohinderbauer]

@Garrettk41 You're right about all four. They were more than just puppeteers because they really breathed life into their characters. These pieces of fabric have more characters than most live actors. I miss Jim and Richard.

[uruseiranma]

The witch's design looks like they borrowed it for the Little Golden Book, 'Cookie Monster and the Cookie Tree.' The witch here resembles the witch in the story, who bewitches her cookie tree to only give cookies to people who will share...naturally, this leads to quite a predicament for Cookie Monster.

[brianklick]

Im glad ya asked

im sorry i asked

great stuff

[nyyterp]

These are one of several skits where you essentially have "adult" muppets with childlike qualities -- a reason why the News Flash segments works on several levels for grown-ups and kids.

I always loved how the witch and bunny do a double-take at 2:29 when the guy in the red suit believes he's found Santa Claus. And you also have Kermit's ubiquitous crinkled mouth whenever he finds himself in an uncomfortable situation.
