Sesame Street - Frazzle

[TherealRNO]

Oddly, Frazzle was in fact created specifically with his looks to be the sort of the monster who looks scary, but is really a gentle soul. Yet, he looked scary, so he began to fade into obscurity.

[BubblesMuppet]

@TherealRNO Yeah but in the modified version. Frazzle does look like he is very scary and bursts out the lines which sticks out.

[TherealRNO]

@BubblesMuppet: Yeah. But that doesn't mean he's as bad as some people have claimed him to be.

[BubblesMuppet]

@TherealRNO Well not that bad but it was still the same on this song with the rip lines on it and is edited. Edited versions doesn't make him that bad.

[TherealRNO]

@BubblesMuppet: He was never bad to begin with. People just mistook his looks & one-word speech as something dark, when he was created specifically to get people to look beyond appearances in the first place.

[SteffDaddy02]

Frazzle is definitely special ed but I love him

[delilahroxursox]

1:38 - 1:41 That means he's high:D

[MuppeTickeler]

In 0:41 The Frazzletones said, "He goes" and Frazzle said, "GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY WAYYYAAAAA!".

[Nedspodos]

frazzle used to scare the crap out of me.

[sunflowernoo]

Soooo damn funny! Love Sesame St.

[joshuaorro]

this was my favorite song from Monster Hits (The Fuzzy Awards)

[Kermitgroupie]

@MultiLeaker cool

[Kermitgroupie]

Boy Frazzle sure knows how to LOL

[LovinRupert]

Sesame Street 70's and 80's is better

[kablamoid96]

My fave of all the songs from this show when I was little

[BayareaGuy06]

Rip Richard Hunt 1951-1992 (the Purple Monster) and Jeff Moss 1942-1998 (The Blue Monster with the green nose)

[Musicposter4you]

BRRRRRRRRR

[ZNKChannel]

No, it's NOT from Shark Tales! This is (sounding out words similar to Elmo) Ses-s-me Str-eet! What makes you think this is from Shark Tales? Not trying to offend you, but why do you think that? Just curious.

[markallenkellner]

this Muppet terrified me as a child, no joke

[H20MichaelMyers]

Who plays as the lavendar muppet Frazzletone? All I know is that:

Fat Blue Frazzletone: Christopher Cerf

Frazzle: Jerry Nelson

Maurcie Monster: Richard Hunt

[BayareaGuy06]

@H20MichaelMyers The purple monster is Richard Hunt and Jeff Moss is Maurice Monster.

[thunderandme123]

this should win an...oscar

[PinkChocolat07]

omigosh, i seriously LOL on this one!

[ZNKChannel]

What happened to the white things that stick out around the circles? I like those. Gives it effect.

[wattamack4]

@CrazyBrandondorf: Please, stop it.

[CrazyBrandondorf]

Hm why don't we try the one with rip lines?

[wattamack4]

...because original is always better.

[moatguy]

It's funny how here Frazzle just growls to all his feelings but as a kid I remember a time when he cried like we know when Baby Bear was scared of him.

[75chris6]

It was a rerun but from 2001

[75chris6]

Frazzle was on S.S. on season 40

[Apollothemyth]

Was it a recent apperance or did they reuse footage from older episodes?

[Apollothemyth]

What ever happened to Frazzle anyway?

[selmasoo]

I love Frazzle's teeth!

[lloveyouu]

I LOVE THIS! This one takes me back to the VHS on repeat :-P

[AgentAragorn]

omg Frazzle I almost forgot about him xD

[NaiTaiDai]

The blue monster with blond hair is the early Harvey monster, outfitted with Chrissy's hair and glasses, isn't it?

[elvischainchomp41]

Is that blue on with the glasses Little Crissy? If it is it looks like he was in a terrible car accident and the people that were him in Count It Higher must of died in the accident, but Little Crissy survied.

[xKiLlAx666]

frazzles smart

[DCism]

This song is hilarious, also groovy at the same time!! This should be good for dance clubs, don't you think?

[590488]

I know that Frazzle is jerry nelson and the purple monster is richard hunt who is the others

[efil4own1]

Dark blue monster=Chris Cerf

Light blue monster=Jeff Moss

[mandizzy]

I still have frazzle moments!

[CelesteK]

:) I used to just <3 Frazzle.

[yaragorm]

Frazzle always scared me, but now he's really funny looking. :P

[hillmert]

Ya, he is pretty freaky looking, especially for a kids show.

[sonicOneTwo]

At 1:38 I thought I saw Frazzles performer's arm for a moment. May be the lighting, or something?

[IrZeCareBear]

Frazzle, you rock!

[fanda94]

Love You Soon! <33

[fanda94]

GoGo add FraZzle in steam counter strike 1.6 hes neard

[KingSlifer]

You'll notice Chrissy styling his hair at a point.

[jonescalypso]

ah man! I owned "Monster Hits" as a child and this one was my absolute favorite song! I'd sing it all the time, and Dad would help me remember all the words. Brings back loads of memories, thanks for posting! :D

[Chel093086]

Even though he has a mean look and makes a weird noise, I think Frazzle would be oddly cuddly. Does anyone else agree w/ me on this one?

[TherealRNO]

Chel: Oddly, Frazzle was in fact created specifically with his looks to be the sort of the monster who looks scary, but is really a gentle soul.

[foxxyloxx]

Whoever played Frazzle [I'm guessing Jerry Nelson or Frank Oz?], I'd love to see his face while making that sound, "ABLBLBL!" I'd imagine it involves a lot of face wiggling. rotfl.

Frazzle always scared me, but I liked him at the same time. I always said Frazzle, Snuffy, & the Count were my faves. He doesn't have his chains on, though. I guess he gave up his love of S&M and bondage for a while. Oh, Frazzle! I love you!

[jonescalypso]

I'd love to see it too, just the thought of it cracks me up. Frazzle was one of my favs too, along with the Count and Grover.

[efil4own1]

Jerry Nelson performed Frazzle. He also used a variation on Frazzle's voice for a one-shot character on "The Muppet Show", a monster named Thudge McGurk (Vincent Price episode).

[JaakuDrachir]

...do they say "that's when he's high" around 1:40? It sounds like it, but it's hard to believe that they would put that in a children show song.

[jonescalypso]

They're saying "That means he's hot".

[teenangel93]

PURE GOLD! <3

[beautifuldayboy]

I like this song a big lot!

[shydmples]

When I was younger, I used to think that it was spaghetti on Little Chrissy's head....lol

[PinkChocolat07]

@shydmples omigosh, i thought i was the only one who noticed crissy's hair. his hair use to remind me of kraft dinner.

[shydmples]

When I was younger, I used to think that it was spaghetti on Little Chrissy's head....lol

[omsidwthedragoness]

HOLY CRAP> I had this on vsh as a kid. Wow, that brings back memories.

[PigsCanFly2day]

The beat reminds me of the 1986 film Little Shop of Horrors.

[perceptiondeception]

I LOVED Frazzle! He scared the hell out of me when I was younger, but he was still and is my favorite scary cuddly monster! I heard they got rid of him because he was too scary for the wee ones...shame. He was a classic. Thanks for bringing back fond memories of my childhood. WE LOVE YOU FRAZZLE!!!!

[palmcoasthoward]

i remember frazzle making that sound while doing crystal meth.

[xohknightsofni]

I love this but it used to scare the hell outta me as a little kid! lol

[glowworm2]

Frazzle never scared me as a child. When I first saw that monster video as a kid I thought he was awesome and loved this song. I still love this song!

[KASs8901]

omg! he does look like gene simmons

[prodigyxl3600]

kinda like ozzy osbourne

[dogfoam]

Im pretty sure that Henson designed Frazzle after Gene Simmons.

[TormentedByDemons]

HAHAHAHAHA! Dude that's perfect! XD

[dogfoam]

Yeah, Id pretty much call it a safe bet. Gotta love the 70s. Henson was too sweet.

[IrZeCareBear]

I don't know why I like this lol

[beautifuldayboy]

Thanks for the lyrics!

[TherealRNO]

beautifulday: You're welcome. ^_^

[TherealRNO]

I've always looked past appearances when it came to Henson creations (yes, Henson co-created Sesame Street), because that is what a lot of works meant to do--show us that no matter how different, we're still similar in that we all have feelings.

*hugs Frazzle*

[Faster0]

Fuck yeah! Frazzle was so 70's. You won't see characters like him these days.

[Mommy246]

I remember being scared of him too. I don't remember this skit, but I had the monster record. I actually have purchase the Monster Hits DVD for my son, he loves this clip!

[werewolfantipaladin]

I remember being terrified of Frazzle. Whenever this played I'd turn down the sound

[DC41288]

can you post a slow and fast version of this?

[moatguy]

Only skit where Little Chrisy has teeth.

[ReevaInari]

Nope, it's not Little Chrisy. It's the Harvey puppet. They're just using the wig.

[moatguy]

He sounds and looks like Little Chrisy.

[ReevaInari]

They're both Fat Blue characters. I'm guessing they wanted to create the illusion Chrisy somehow became a monster. Kinda freaked me a bit when I first saw him.

[zacandtaylorrule]

Frazzle never scared me. He was one my favorites. They should never have gotten rid of him.

[Minfire]

Did you know they got rid of Frazzle in 1992 because it scared many of their viewers?

[teenangel93]

Well I saw Frazzle on "Elmo Polooza" back in 1998. Frazzle is a banned chracter like Don Music noooooooooooooooooo!!! why does all the good chracters have to go?

[Minfire]

I agree with you there, dude! =-)

[teenangel93]

Thank U!!

[JordinSparksFan1]

Where is this song from

[wattamack4]

1975.

[dzemergency]

This was so hillarious.  ...Did they say "That means he's high?"

[TherealRNO]

There's a monster--name of Frazzle--who's a good friend of mine. He looks ferocious, but he's really kind. Go up and ask him for his autograph; He'll be so happy, that he'll start to laugh. He goes: ABLBLBL! That's how he laughs. He goes: ABLBLBL! That means he's glad. He goes: ABLBLBL! That means he's having the greatest time that he's ever had.

[TherealRNO]

(Continued)

Now you know my buddy Frazzle has got fangs on his jaws. His fur is orange and he's got these claws. He looks so mean that he could scare a crowd, but if you tickle him, he laughs outloud. He goes: ABLBLBL! That's how he laughs. He goes: ABLBLBL! That means he's glad. He goes: ABLBLBL! That means he's having the greatest time that he's ever had. ABLBLBL! ABLBLBL! ABLBLBL!

[TherealRNO]

(Continued)

Mr. Frazzle has emotions like the rest of us do. Sometimes, he feels low-down and ugly, too. And then the tears begin to fill his eyes; It's so pathethic when a monster cries. He goes: ABLBLBL! That's how he cries. He goes: ABLBLBL! That means he's sad. He goes: ABLBLBL! That means he's having the lowest time that he's ever had.

[TherealRNO]

(Continued)

ABLBLBL! That means he's hungery. ABLBLBL! That mean he's hot. ABLBLBL! That means he's sleepy. ABLBLBL! That means he's not. ABLBLBL! That means yes. ABLBLBL! That means no. ABLBLBL!...Means thank you for the dinner, for it's getting very late and now I really must go. ABLBLBL! ABLBLBL!

[dorourke105]

ABLBLBLBLBLBLBLB!!! That's how I give a good review.

[wattamack4]

If you compare you can tell the difference.

[wattamack4]

Nope.Looks similar but it's not him.

[tpirman1982]

Right, but still performed by Chris Cerf.

But you Wattamack4 and and jokester1111 are BOTH right. Not only because Cerf performed the monster look-alike of Little Chrissy, but also the glasses makes him look like Little Chrissy. So he must be a Little Chrissy look-alike.
