I loved it when Olivia shouted, "Thisisthebigchest!" really fast.

If Ernie saw the chest full of Rubber Duckies, then he would be surprised and full of joy, while Bert on the other hand, would be moaning and groaning like heck.

Bob is hilarious as a pirate! He's so eager! XD

Haha! I have never laughed so hard at a humaqn Sesame Street sketch. "Are you jivin' me?" Right on Gordon. Sounded like Pirate Shaft haha. I also love his pratfalls and when Olivia drops the chest on his foot. This is absolutely classic.

What I like best about this bit is its highly accurate portrayal of pirates. Most people aren't aware that this was how pirates spent their days: yelling at each other to bring in the treasure chests, keeping the biggest chest full of rubber duckies. Meanwhile the other pirates were out looting, plundering, having sword fights, killing people.

This brings back memories. I always loved how Gordon went from his fierce pirate voice to "Are you jivin' me?"

Where did Olivia go. She hasn't been seen on SS in almost 30 years.

"Dis-ees-da-BEEEEG-chest!" SO FUNNY!!!

Agreed. But even WITH all those rubber duckies, would he vie to take them all home if it meant living on a deserted island for 39 days?

Roscoe Hamming it up as usual. One of my favorite SS humans.
