awwww why wasn't the count there to count the mattresses! i dont believe that!
-
What do you mean you found this "disturbing?" When I saw this as a kid, I thought it was the funniest "Sesame Street" skit ever! It was hilarious!
-
Was the lackey the Count's dad? lol...this skit scared th daylights outta me as a child...Cookie Monster was ultra pocessed here.
-
what's ironic about the changes, is that the show was MORE politically correct and culturally relevant before they attempted to force it to be so. . . .
-
Wonder what was that wierd sound when the lacky was walking?
You didn't hear that when Cookie came in.
-
@Cuteblondie1972 I actually still find it disturbing! To this day when I see people stuffing their faces in an out-of-control frenzy I'm freaked out by them, and I'm sure this skit had something to do with it.
-
@Cuteblondie1972 Yes, that was it. Puppets or no, cannibalism is cannibalism and it really spooked me to see CM stop at nothing to chase Guy Smiley in an earnest attempt to eat him! Especially since Guy was supposed to be such a positive jolly fellow etc.
-
@Cuteblondie1972 Yeah, and the sound of the wood of the bed splitting...could easily freak out a kid getting ready for bed. This is still not as bad as Cookie Monster trying to eat Guy Smiley in that one skit, though - that was "really" freaky when I was a kid.
-
Yes, it's true - this skit was a total nightmare scenario. Cookie Monster sounded possessed - which was weird because he seemed more amped about eating mattresses than he ever even seemed about cookies! Obviously the writers of this skit thought it was all supposed to be very funny - the music that accompanies the destruction is supposed to be like a zany comedy take on the music played earlier when CM first appears. (Unintentionally the most frightening music Joe Raposo ever wrote.)

MATRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Cracked me up
Sesame Stree was so much more fun when Jim Henson was alive, before it got all politically correct and "culturally relevant" and just lost its innocence in general.
