Sesame Street: Wanna Buy An Eight Ernie?

[ampineda77]

Trrr

[elmufdvr]

i love it... hahahah 8.. hey man wanna buy 9?

[arbeitsmann267]

"whaddaya sell?" "eights."

[6471917]

This is completely awesome. I bought a whole selection of nines! Hey Ernie, you should buy an 8 so then you would have 2 O's! Possibilities: Buy a C and you have carbon dioxide! Also, if one O has two sounds... then two O's would have 4 sounds! Awesome, ain't it?

[onciebuns]

riiiiiight

[MarioZoneAlt69]

Actually if you count Rudolph, there's 9 reindeer.

[tpep55]

This used to crack me up when I was a kid....

[Juan321C]

Kermit has another job! And he ain't payin' taxes, just hustlin' backwards!

[missbelinda01]

Riiiggghhhttt! Just love it..

[ocelot44revolver]

Oh I get it, he was referring to drugs the whole time cause at the end when he says you wanna buy an eight (1/8) he keeps his jacket closed. Hinting he's not talking about the physical number attached to his jacket.

[ocelot44revolver]

Cuhmeer!



[SaintAlia10191]

Wow, I can't believe they got away with this.

[theoriginal72]

I hung my eight on my wall and the landlord saw it. Now I'm homeless.

[peacelovetv95]

Gotta look out for them 8 dealers...

[JonasClark]

Ya take that '8', put it up on the wall, check it out for a while... Ya take that '8', down offa the wall, an' put it down on the floor in a glass bowl.

[JakeIsFine379]

ernie, 'that's kind of a weird thing to be selling.' i love how he says that. instead of just going with it...ha ha ha. clever stuff. 'you want to buy an 8?' ernie, whispering, 'no.' lmao.

[KittenBone]

Dave Golez has consistently cracked me up every time he's performed. The best deadpan ever. :D

[Superstarseven]

@KittenBone Why are you mentioning Dave Goelz?

[mrblob20]

8 ball is Crack.... You know they are adults making this .. that only adults know the meaning behind them lol

[m1ndl]

I swear he says "aids" at 0:58

[Ontskin]

8's are a gateway number, always leads to bigger numbers.

[satansavenger667]

Thumbs up if r/trees/ brought you here

[tagstaxX2]

rofl

[thehellstrand]

How will you know which day the ninth of august is going to be by owning a nine?

[gd01skorpius]

SSSSSSSHHHHHHH!!!!!

[RScarf1]

If you are wondering how many kids Octomom has, you look at the 8.

[shellagrl]

are you a salesman? Riiiiggghhttt!!!

[thedjkuz]

He's selling E's as well.

[death9719]

a barter economy ANARCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

and then you have what did Earnie sell his labor for did he sell it for less than the value of his product. if he did he was cheated

[Canckeraep]

That green man is scary..especially when you think of it, it is a disguised Kermit the frog with different eyes, a nose, a hat and clothes.

[C4rnivor]

What do you sell? - AIDS!

[OverVoiceOver]

[RobertWanko]

[georgemuse]

[MIKECNW]

@georgemuse Ah shut up!

[tonyrrios]

[JellyBellyJustin]

ernie looks stoned of his ass in the first few seconds lol

[CanadaBoy123]

Don't hang it on the wall!

Grind it, roll it, light it, smoke it :D

[RobertWanko]

@CanadaBoy123 I believe its "roll that shit light that shit SMOKE THAT SHIT!!"

[CanadaBoy123]

@RobertWanko Hey! Watch the language! Children watch these videos :P

[beefr123321q]

[Cybergig00]

tube8

[RobertWanko]

@Cybergig00 awesome

[timessplitter]

[Youhavejustlost]

@WaeVski

Yeeeee buddy xD

[Hekinsieden]

"Hey, Hey Bert! Can I borrow some money for an 8?"

[WaeVski]

reddit, anyone?

[RobertWanko]

@WaeVski shhh dont let them know

[jityr2]

The way that puppet acts is an imitation of Al Capone. The jacket he wears, the hat, the whispering New York accent. The puppet Sherlock Himlock has a British accent and is an imitator of Sherlock Holmes.

[pianoman74]

@jityr2 NY accent? Well, so if you're right, Lefty must pull himself together a LOT. Because Bugs Bunny speaks a THICK New York accent and I really had to rewind the videotape sometimes to get what he said. But I understand every word with Lefty, go figure...

[Galentw]

Ernie: What do you sell?

Guy: Marijuana

[RISEONER1000]

Would have been better to jump into actual fractions, a 1/4 is a way better deal

[RadAlly]

eeeek! That green puppet is KERMIT...with all of his froggy parts taken off!!

[dianebottle2011]

so classic huh just too deadly how to score drugs... really trying to get that eight huh ernie you bad little kewl dude just all hard up lol

[simontsegay]

"no. i can't. i don't have enough money"... and u wonder why these guys only have 4 fingers

[kobefanatic2289]

SSSSSHHHHHH!!! .... Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight....

[LordHeath1972]

ah man they just don't make this sort of stuff anymore...nowadays they think children's tv is all digital cartoons and crap that barely can hold a 3 year olds attention. This was classic kids stuff that was so cool even adults can still watch it and remember it!

[GASCOINE1000]

come here i said come herrrree

[MsMakeupaholic1]

can someone explain what the number 8 stands for here?

[colin749]

@MsMakeupaholic1 an 8th of an ounce of medical grade cannabis.

[LegendaryElite]

This show promotes drugs and guns. I can't wait to have kids so they can watch this.

[BrutalChickenn]

Man, i eat breakfest at 6 AM, lucky guy

[tac0paco]

lol 248 likes from Adults, 5 dislikes from children

[shotteebwoi1O2]

"I got that #8 son!" lol

[Thornwiegraf]

Omg. its not like kids arent in some point of their life going to see a drug deal or something. they'll grow up and see it anyways.

[Tacheonblack]

Sign me up for a P

[pianoman74]

@Tacheonblack ok you can have some of my P. I'll remember to save up some for you next time.

[TheSchimmi]

No but i'd love to buy an O

[TheEthug]

@TheSchimmi im not down with the lingo bro, whats an O

[chaney717]

@TheEthug O = Ounce of Cannabis

[MeursaultBandini]

No... too... similar!

[pivottechdeck]

omg lol teaching kids to buy drugs and watches -.-

[Lemon020202]

Actually anyone interested on a number 2? I'm think about putting an ad out on kijiji or in the paper for a sale of the number 2. Nice colour, beautiful shape, sparkling. Only for $222.00!!!

[diax182]

Hey Ernie want to buy an eight-ball?

[hubbabubbamax000]

This is priceless. Who knew I needed to eat breakfast at 8?! lol

[hellosummy]

[tw69hands2]

[speedskate2010]

[monahan76]

[startobee]

At least Ernie is in the buisness with 3s... and 4s...

[wednesday55]

That green muppet always used to scare the bjeezus out of me!!!

[slapshot68]

[chinook654]

[kruppenstein]

What if Ernie wonders how many legs a cow has?

[juanpazongochulo]

420!

[leiposuctie]

[AAmmyy22]

This is so odd. XD

[chizzlemang]

bwhaha!

[Sc0p3Douug]

Get your metaphor on

[Altoclarinets]

Black market numbers.

This is new... I thought I could just write them...

[Livingdeadfreak83]

hahaha drug selling... 'Eight'... hahaha

[njzxshim2c]

drugs

[matthewjustincrocker]

I'LL TRADE YOU ALL MY 9's FOR YOUR 8th's

[matthewjustincrocker]

THE PUNCHLINE IS THE BEST

[toiletjocky]

He's talkin' about an EIGHT BALL! Duh.

[lilpayaso662010]

When you smoking weed and your high and cant remember how many joints you smoke every day just look at the eight.hahahahahahahaha!

[Ironsix6six]

SHHHH!

[litamic]

it's like he buying drugs...

[yaziyo]

I bought an 8 off him last week, best 8 I've ever smoked.

[PandaMishima]

@yaziyo

You're not supposed to smoke them, dummy, you dry them out and then boil them in water and then drink it!

[Snegenad1]

You don't see that end coming! ^^ I also like how the scene starts and ends with Ernie's trademark pose.

[antikapp1920]

don't buy the aids

[606revo]

can anyone suggest any adult theme sesame street like lefty and fat blue ?

[steventean]

whatever happende 2 lefty?

[BigBadassR]

@steventean Last I heard Lefty was spending ten days in the can for stealing the golden AN.

[Dekobee]

Lefty hypnotized Ernie!

[tpirman1982]

I know Caroll Spinney voiced Lefty the first number of early segments, but when was Frank Oz's first segment as Lefty?

[sniperyall88]

2:10 lol XD

[Nellystar101]

this guy scared me as a little kid. i was afraid of guys in trenchcoats for about 3 years.

[cbkny89]

yo is he a drug dealer on the show?

[sixelakv]

@cbkny89 he had ernie twisted!!!!! dont hustle me, hustle wit me!!

[Maskedmutant]

@cbkny89 That is what he is sorta based on - back in the late '60's/early 70's, pushers were practically a regular thing of life

[TB4000]

Eightball.

Haaaaa.

[sniperyall88]

@TB4000 i was thinking an eighth..

[maintenance55]

ernie was gunna sell him a gat

[cavalierfan1995]

dig the eight

[Nih8Crim]

Diiiiigggg the 8 !!! the sweet humor

[420letsgethigh420]

can i buy an eighth??

[lynnmass01904]

I think this is the Best:

It shows kids how to sell things without obtaining a licence, no recipt of where the items came from, how to be on the down low and up to the outfit. I Love it

I Freaking Love it.

[Ultran122]

Hey guys....anyone wanna buy an eight?

[tncookies]

It's pretty scary how Lefty knows what time Ernie eats breakfast in the morning. If I were Ernie, that would have freaked me out. I think Lefty's been stalking him.

[Snegenad1]

I really did'n't expect that ending! Because I've seen the sketches about the O and a painting before.

[potatosalad64]

"Next time you wonder how many legs an octopus has.......you look at the 8"

lol

[wyecee]

Young kid viewers would mistake those  nines for g's. Trading 6 g's for a number 8?

[BlazedOutKing818]

damn i thought this was about drugs

[kritz4prez]

@BlazedOutKing818

It is about drugs. Obviously you never bought weed b4.

[stephrodite]

This character was discontinued because parents thought it encouraged kids to talk to strangers.

[lucypunch]

@stephrodite Americans are so pussified! I watched this growing up and at the same time was told to not talk to strangers. However now that I watch this, Lefty was a total hustler!

[lynnvryett]

Dig da eight~! >;D

[mathiussan]

LOL

[urmoots]

lol does anyone realize the adult humor?

[ayamefumika24]

hahah . yes . :))

[KilobyteBrain]

@urmoots It's funny because your comment currently has 69 likes~

[Smartboy8877]

@urmoots

I certainly do!  A lot of "Sesame Street" routines had pieces of adult humor mixed in.

[Muppephile]

I'm not 100% convinced, I think Jim Henson would avoid too many assumptions.

[Muppephile]

how old is bert and ernie exactly?

I always imagined, since they live on their own, they must be college students.

[SforzandoFilms]

I never noticed that Sesame Street had sketchy drug dealers before.

[joenlaw]

lol coppin an eighth haha

[LhodaKblerz]

Apparently the planes at RAF Brueggen would land early so that pilots and ground crew could get to watch Sesame Street, 72 to 74.

[perkinsfieldboyz]

they are some close talkers

[mynameisntsara]

LMFAO best clip ever.

[marianoortizcamacho]

QUALITY. i think i i seen that dealer on electric avenue last week

[uyhtru]

haha you go ernie!

[09prizefighter09]

nothing better than a dealer whos high....

[AnthonyP73]

An octopus has eight legs!

SSSSHHHH!

[PrincessSerenee]

Awesome! I remember this episode from when I was a little kid. It brings back so many memories! :)

[BRANDYCLIFF2007]

sooooo suggestive

[nasnek]

-Are u salesman?

-Riiiiite.

[BaileyHorRo]

Reminds Me Of A Dealer.......(wanna Buy Some Candy)!!! Come On Its just Candy!

[bababooie]

WANNA BUY AN 8TH! LOL

[AvEryBadApPLe]

Thank you Jim Henson!

[Ghirardelli21]

hahaha! why is there a street hustler character on Seasame Street?!? hahahahahaha oh man

[shatterjack]

cause that's life!

[muckraker87]

@Ghirardelli21

Well, Sesame Street is the world's happiest ghetto.
