2011 UPDATE: Maurice Sendak has released a new book entitled Bumble-Ardy - get it now at your favorite book store (support your local one if you want it to survive)!

Political correctness for all in this, a true animated classic from Sesame Street. Looks like Maurice Sendak (and references to a book "Bumble Ardy" are on the net). Hmmmn...Bumble's voice sounds awfully familiar. Cheers!

  • I remember this somewhat well. I too was somewhat scared by it, but not to an overwhelming extent. One thing to note: Is the narrator here the same one on the '1-20 Number Elimination' clip from Sesame Street?  Just wondering. Also, I see that there have been 99 text comments posted to this clip before mine, which is in keeping with the theme of the clip, and which isn't bad!:)

  • I can't say for sure if it's the same narrator but sure sounds like him, good ears!

  • A boy of nine offering wine to nine swine? I'm sure the censors today would whine: "Depicting wine is out of line, we'll have to impose a hefty fine!"

  • ...and Adeline would do time for her negligent crime.

  • Yay! Jim Henson as Bumble!

  • Another classic from old school Sesame Street. I believe this is Maurice Sendak's only SS entry. And yes, as many have already mentioned, this would NEVER pass muster in today's PC laden Sesame Street. Consumption of liquor? Horrors!!

  • "I'll give you pigs till number nine to split, get lost, vamoose, just scram, or else I'll slice you into ham!"

  • She only worked 30 minutes at work its offical im working at smith and kline haha.

  • Just read on "The Atlantic" that Maurice is writing a book based on this character and they linked to your video, congrats! :-) I'll send the link via a message.

  • @popelauncher

    Well, our nine swine did defile the domicile.

  • This is like a college frat party! It's cool to see lost classics like this on here. I remember seeing it as a kid and hasn't been on Sesame Street in forever (and of course they'd NEVER show it now!) This was also included as a hidden "Easter egg" on one of the Sesame Street Old School DVDs. Whenever I hear the song "Party With The Animals" by Ozzy I always think of this. Try watching this with the sound off and that song playing. It actually works pretty well!

  • Am I the only one who got here because of the Katy Perry "controversy" on Sesame Street?

  • @d72jjpilc

    I was thinking about that too!
