Sesame Street - Making a table "cooperation"

[hoffenpot]

Was the designing lady the same one who did that 11 o'clock song?

[quirpco]

Did this inspire the show "Extreme Makeover"?

[deanster57]

great stuff-tori

[acholl980]

This looked like it came from the same company that made Underdog.

Another one of the early memories from Sesame Street that illuatrates how specialists 'put their heads together' to produce a finished item as a result of teamwork. I wonder if the guy who's the painter in this clip is the same as the one in the 'Man Paints a Screen Red' SS clip. At least in this clip, he's not just painting for the sake of painting!:)

I like the spinny lady who's putting designs on things! "Lla la la la la la la la la..."!

[kevseb66]

@CanadaFamilyMan LOL!!!!Too funny!!

[CanadaFamilyMan]

@kevseb66 Hahaha! Glad you liked that!:)

I like this sketch..but it's difficult to transcribe, since, of course, they're all talking at once!

[whitecrow222]

this has to be from the early 70's!!! i so totally remember the girl pounding nails, because i wanted to do the same thing...i actually built a few of my own toys because this clip showed me girls can do anything. i forgot the table gets up and walks away... it's cute to me

[Trund27]

Cool! I bet your toys were awesome.

[Trund27]

"What an exciting looking object!" (Sawing Man at 0:59)

[Pam4Rob]

LMAO That was funny i love the way he said that

[MIKECNW]

so many of you claimed to have been scared by this.

Did it make you afraid to eat at the dinner table?

[DianaDeLuna]

Another long-lost Sesame segment surfaces. I'm having good luck today. :o)

I wanted to see this again to figure out why, at the age of 3 or 4, I was So. Freaked. Out. by that table when it just randomly got up and walked away on 4 grotesque knees. Just goes to show that things which seem dismissively silly to adults can actually give a small child nightmares.

Thank you, mstatz, for bringing me closure. ;o)

[Lectronimo]

Don't look now, lady, but your coffee table's sneaking up on you.

[DianaDeLuna]

Eeek, Lectro, that *still* scares me!

[toamaori]

its funny the way they all talk at the same time lol

[funkmike]

For "cooperators" they're sure a bunch of ego-strokers...

[DivaXMachina]

i love the token gay kid! Painting everything bright colors! LOL

[Crusadist1099]

How do you know he's a pickle-chedder?

[whammer0411]

Bob Villa..the early years.

[zanzafer]

Notice around the :55 mark the guy with the saw and the guy with the paint switch voices

[mstatz]

You're right! I never noticed that before. What a mistake!

[See918]

They probably figured it didn't matter because they were all talking simultaneously anyway.

[Teankun]

Only the hammer lady noticed the table was gone

[zanzafer]

I think Mary Jo Catlett did a lot of voice overs for Sesame Street so that voice probably is hers.

[Lectronimo]

"It's really a nice thing and I'm glad I was able to participate in doing it." I love the ad lib quality to the dialogue in this one. One of the guys sounds almost like Ted Knight, and one of the women sounds like Mary Jo Catlett.

[Garrettk41]

Well, Muppet Wiki says that one of them is voiced by Joan Gerber, though I'm not sure which one. And I'm pretty sure the painter is Bob Arbogast.

[Lectronimo]

Ah, Joan Gerber! She's a delight. I loved her as Tanta Kringle in Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town.

[vidhag900]

I'd like to see them take on building a house next.
