Sesame Street - Would You Like To Buy an O (stereo)

[murielsartre]

Don't ask any questions!

[martyk7]

This song has been stuck in my head for the last 20 years.

[UAVBlackBird]

ooooo oooooo ooooo 0:25

[TheAwesomeOne1ooo]

Seems legit.

[supereggist]

ewww  i hope nobody takes this song really wrong

[SuperLeslie69]

Riiiiiggghhhtt

[evilgenius420]

Damn what kinda connection does ernie have to turn down weed at that price!? Burt probably beat his ass when he came home and told him how cheap he was offered an O!

[Wicachow]

I keep hearing him say "Riiiiigghhtt" in my head.

Please help me :c

[MazAMaTaz]

If O is just a nickel, I wonder if he offers LSD for fifteen cents.

[joaovictor1994]

After all that Ernie just refuses to buy the O and Lefty runs away xD

[blahblahblah5780]

Is this suppose to teach about long and short vowels or the danger of drug dealers

.... both!

[MrJaxreid]

no i'll buy an O on Wheel of Fortune

[pie0eater]

If you buy the O, and split it in half you can sell two C's! Easy money right there.

[dividad1]

I'll buy the O, then turn it into a lot of L's

[zackk7]

Mac's dad from Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Riiiiiggghhhhtttttt

[solace667]

I watched this episode as a child and immediately knew what i wanted to be when i grew up....

[lapinbeau]

1:40 .... Okay, you convinced me, buddy. I'll buy the.... WTF where are you going!?

... I had a nickel...

[GrandMasterCuebald]

Only a nickel, take the deal Ernie! That's a real bargain, those things cost $250 on Wheel of Fortune!

[lgd1974]

Just buy the O and take it home tonight!

[hoffmanshades]

1m29s - Ernies 'O' face.

[hoffmanshades]

Does anyone know what his E's are like?

[lindseysandrick]

My brother and I still sing this song. :D And these comments are cracking me up!

[monkeysoulpoet]

This was before Guiliani cleaned up Sesame Street and kicked out all the dealers in hot goods.

[Chadsask]

Cripes I forgot about that guy!!!



[armobro31]

Give me the O and I'll make a J

[dividad1]

@armobro31 If you bought an O, wouldn't you turn it into an L?

[ih8tbush]

Composer is/was an absolute genius !

[boleroinferno]

Ernie too straight edge for an O. Lower-case L would suit him better

[angryDAnerd]

that salesman looks totally legit

[zoobrik]

buy de o

[KeithCHoffman]

This character is originally from the Jack Benny radio show from the 40's.

[RevJym]

That must be a O of some true Mexican dirt

[AndyMH182]

Buy the hoe, and take her home, tonight

[Mrfreezejumbo]

The things this did to my ears...

[Zeldanon]

This song has many sexual connotations, especially the letter "O". Oh, Sesame Street. Let me list them for you: when he moans Oohhhh repeatedly, "Circular and sweet, looks just like a donut really good enough to eat", "so buy an O and take it home tonight", the word "opening". Sorry.

[TdotFunk]

How much for two ounces?

[redturded]

i wish my drug dealer also did musicals.

[tblgbn]

@redturded  lol thats so funny lol

[ffrmaster]

a nickel for an O? SHIIIIT ernie do it up!

[International72521]

Ernie you illiterate bastard, you should have taken it.

[MaxChaplin]

Where can I buy some O? The shady salesmen I know only sell E.

[spiv2005]

can I get the 3G model?

[drftme]

Is that O an upper or a downer?

[supadupadudacud]

a nickel for an O !? damn it was cheap back in the day.

[fatniggaboy921]

he's talking about an ounce of that bomb bud

[Sipahz]

This guy talks like hes enjoyed an O himself.

[kendo512]

@Dusty341 An "O" is short for an ounce. An ounce of weed, usually. You're not physically capable of snorting an ounce of weed.

[nitr0burn]

@kendo512: Life must be hard when you read into things so deep and make assumptions on such stupid comment.

[kendo512]

@nitr0burn: Non sequitur. What are you even talking about? There's not a single assumption in my comment, merely a piece of objective affirmation. Get a better grasp on the English language.

[Grant1231111]

@kendo512 Come up with an ounce of kief and I will give it my best shot.

[IDMWEIGHTSIDM]

OMG OMG IM HIGHT AS FUCK >>>>>>XD this is amazing he haz an O i want one...

[thespandexman]

Wait... what did I just watch? A nickel? Where do I find this guy?

[JibberGXP]

Can you font that for a few days?

Wait, it costs only a nickel? Fucking DEAL.

[enlargemedia]

I was l_ _king f_r that letter!

[OmegaStryder]

How about I give you 2¢, and you cut it in half and make me a C ?

[ManiacalLyricist]

I do this all the time.

[milesgti]

An O would be nice.

[rockcadet92]

I was going to "like", but I think I'll leave it at 420

[polly123185]

Fucking yes



[TheBartvdv]

For sure he would've sold if he

[djtrixen]

So he's selling an O for the price of a nickel... not bad if I say so myself!

[dmokhtar]

Thx for posting this.

[CoopShaa]

so children watch out for strange,green O-dealers

[D2Kprime]

A NICKEL!!!!!!

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

[kudravata]

riiiight... love it :)

[HolyMarkMcGrath]

Poor Ernie, he must be clueless on what Lefty is offering him.

[gentlegirl88]

Right!!!



[jonesosiris]

Frank oz and Jim Henson are true puppet masters with impeccable timing especially in this skit. I love how lefty is constantly looking over his shoulder. He really gets Ernie dancing along by the end of the song as if he is on the very brink of seduction as the salesman closes in with the final hard sell, gets rejected, and realizes he has no chance (or as usual Ernie has no money),shrugs and immediately bounces off to find the next potential mark. 5 Hands and countless forms of human expression

[SithSereyPheap1]

That smooth talking Salesman,he can sell sand to the desert if he wanted to...

[clubkid14]

He's in the o business!!!!! I must have that.

[jfong9]

holy hell, vowel dealer.

[scoobydoobie69]

nickle for an O? sesame street got the hook ups

[druidkat7]

I remember this one on the Sesame Street LP called "Ernie Sings the Hits." (God, how many Sesame Street LPs did I have????! Jeesh!)

[doodoohead6969]

hey, hey, hey, smoke weed every day

[MiniPezz]

i wish it was an o of weed.

[snarkus63]

I wasn't aware that guy even had a name!

[skeletorment666]

I bought the O for a nickel,and when I got home,I found out it was a lousy Q...I got jipped :(

[undertake782]

Oh man, this basically taught kids to talk to strangers and follow them if they have candy. D=

[JOHNSTAGS]

I guess the one person who dislikes this doesn't think it to be a good bargain!

[themirrorsofmymind]

When I was about 9, my little brother and I found this on a 45rpm and we used to act it out for our Mother and our other (older) siblings.

[Drpill20]

sesame street teaching kids how to buy O's since 1969

[JackAndy12]

riiiiiiight

[openmindedaussie]

So buy the "O" and take it home tonight.... :-)

[GASCOINE1000]

one person bought the O

[KittyandPuppy77]

riiiight

[orchidtender]

O: the gateway vowel.

[flowertrue]

Nowadays you buy your O's online for $200/doz. Miss the good Old days

[ZackAttack7492]

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiight

[sarahbarah1972]

I grew up watching this show(1970's) but,for the life of me, i could not remember the name of the green dude with the trenchcoat and smarmy voice!.Now i know:Lefty the Salesman!He's the bomb.

[ResettisReplicas]

Don't do it Ernie! t's probably one of those foreign knockoffs with an accent mark on top.

[funtimez420]

I fuckin knew it....

[snowden1234]

words cannot express...

[pezbrooks]

i have  bought lots of O'ssssss lol

[doctorwho00772]

ernie wide eyed=a nickle?!? SHUSHH!!! (whispers)=rightttt lol funny

[jrcryda]

riiiiggghhhttttttttttt lol

[notabuzzkill]

Ernie would like to definitely buy an "O"unce... Is it purple and sweet? Yummm... light it up!

[benyy0050]

wow sesame street has good prices

[mbarnath]

And talk about the two-for-one deals! For a dime you get "goose" and "moon"! He totally blew the sale.

[smrglblf]

Sesame Street really was a genius show. When I was a kid I didn't even know I learning short and long vowels in this one ^_^

[steelhooves90]

I'm strapped for cash, could I just get a g instead?

[freq32]

'buy an o'.. lol the very thought of it!

[joshman879]

cheapest o ive ever seen

[YoMissyRocks]

new favorite song [8]

[MrJas1991]

Sketch.

[ChichDidWhat]

He is one hell of a salesman.

[RedLightBolb]

Could i just get half an O?

[wadofmeat]

obviously sesame street producers felt they had to teach children about drugs in some way

[m1ke420]

sketchy muppets!

[STARSxAgentxManda]

haha Lefty is such a creeper. Shhhhh riiigggghhhhtt

[KittenNoahKitten]

"When you buy this O you get two sounds for one!" "Just a nickle"

Good deal.

[mrhiggin]

I would like to grab some H.

[tonya41379]

[MrAbwright]

Would You Like To Buy An O?

[nerdelicious5]

Watch out, those O's are addictive!

[just4lizzy]

I love this haha but I think if I met such a salesperson, I'd be so freaked out and pressured :P

[icecubecoke]

lefty is creepy



[zagnut427]

Marina, This one's the best!

[larryluvewf]

YALL SILLY!!!! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO STILL REMEMBERS EVERY SILLY SKETCH FROM THE GOOD OL DAYS!!! MY LADY IS JUST ROLLING HER EYES SARCASTICALLY AS IF SHE DID'NT WATCH IT!!! 

[zucciniinabottle]

i went to rehab for o habbit.

[freepepsicola]

DON'T DO IT ERNIE! STAY AWAY FROM THOSE Os!

[DATBOIPatGMAIL]

An "O"? ... Of what? lol

[djsdojo]

I want to buy an O for a 5 cents sold then I need another one in a few days sir!!  Is it good stuff by the way? I will take some E too is that 5 cents also??

[tokage15]

I remember this one guy who tripped O's for like 9 hours after he mixed it with a U. Messed him up bad, man, that stuff's poison, total poison.

[GarlandFraser]

@tokage15 aw hell naw. Then he'd be pronouncing a ton french words, and Canadian spellings of Colour.

[conish64]

My cousin's doing 25 years for importing o's from holland.

[larryluvewf]

@conish64  O SHIT!!!!

[JonasBrothers21916]

I love this song!

[crossland68]

Only a nickel! Ernie should take that deal. Those things go for $250 apiece on Wheel of Fortune.

[irate13]

@crossland68

...that's pretty F*cking funny. and very true. i saw a guy spend $750 on three vowels. he ended up losing, but they still made him pay that $750. That's one serious game show.

[codywermager]

@crossland68 haha they go for about 350 in Humbodlt County ;)

[keviar245]

@codywermager 180-200 240 for the sickest chronic you will ever smoke and im not joking, in good ol b.c. FUCKING SUCKS prop 19 got obliterated.

[delvin41]

@crossland68 now that is what i call funny!!

[Jumpybeaver]

@crossland68 *BUZZ!* No sorry, there are no O's. Burt spin the wheel.

[Jozsus]

@crossland68 or 250$ on the street for that matter

[SykoEsquire]

@crossland68 A guy named "Lefty" selling "O"'s, for a "Nickel" (I've got 5 on it.)  Shit must be Hydro...WTF Sesame Street?

[HolyMarkMcGrath]

@crossland68 HAH! GOOD JOKE!

[NiNJack]

@crossland68 about as much as an o costs on the streets

[djtrixen]

@NiNJack dro maybe...

[Smartboy8877]

@crossland68

I was just about to complement the sense of humor of the poster of the other comment in the "Top Comments" section. Now I see that yours is even better! Wow!

[assaultworm]

usually, o's are more expensive.

[SocialismIsAlive]

real life lessons with lefty.

[SteadyEddie691]

If I was a Muppet, I'd wanna be Lefty. No doubt about it.

[SteadyEddie691]

I'd like to buy an O, sir.

My God, this music is amazing.

[ShambolicConfusion]

best ever! *-*

[theclockstickin]

im high

[SketchComedyCrew]

Remember kids, be like Ernie! When it comes to O, just say no.

[ZNKChannel]

The only problem is te way Lefty shushes. His movement is like is loud way but he sounds like the sweet shush. That's the only problem I have.

[assaultworm]

that's a cheap o

[zacandtaylorrule]

Great to see you back Nanto. I love this one. Always have. That Lefty sure knows how to sell stuff.

[BrucePlisken]

I wonder if that guy also sells E, or maybe just a J.

perhaps he can point me to some G's that can hook me up with some T and A

[doctoroctave18]

@BrucePlisken or TLC cause he is a sexy g

[GarlandFraser]

@BrucePlisken got any E maaaaaan?

[kelseycarbone]

@BrucePlisken BRUCE FOR THE WIN!

[djtrixen]

@BrucePlisken LMFAO!! Best comment ever!!!

[antsamthompson9]

Frank did a good job singing in that raspy voice.

[TelephoneRock4ever]

@antsamthompson9: No one but Frank can do that. ;-)

[antsamthompson9]

@TelephoneRock4ever Yep.

[TelephoneRock4ever]

@antsamthompson9: Of course, if Sesame Workshop plans on bringing Lefty back someday (which is very unlikely), Eric Jacobson could perform him, just like he performs Grover for Frank.

But then the voice would sound a little different. ;-)

[antsamthompson9]

@TelephoneRock4ever But not totally different. Eric does a good job with Frank's characters.

[TelephoneRock4ever]

@antsamthompson9: Riiiiiiiight! ;-) Yes, he does an excellent job.

[awinx99able]

@TelephoneRock4ever Well if they did I am going to do this...

Hope(Me):PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE????? They could try doing a skit with abby cadabby or put Lefty-kun back on the street He hasn't met Maria-kun yet!!!

[d72jjpilc]

Oh, what memories! An absolute 'must-have' for vintage Sesame Street fans! A NICKEL? SHHHHHHHH! RIIIIGHT!

[Garrettk41]

A true classic. Really slick and sleazy.

[wattamack4]

I'm guessing the audio is form the Muppet Alphabet Album, am I correct? ;)

[NantoVision1]

Yes, I did use the audio from the Muppet Alphabet Album.

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Whoa, the quality's clear as daytime! Consider me impressed!

[MarshalGrover]

I love how you improved on one of your first uploads!
