the legend lives on.
Did you catch that WINDOW PANE on the plastic house? Whew, after all that, time for refreshment. The kid's mom might have had coffee with a SUGAR CUBE, or since this was the 70's, maybe a TAB...

  • Love this. As a kid, whenever this would come on, I would ALWAYS wait for the part where the weird guy disappears, laughs, and says, "Yeahhhhh." There was something about that 'yeah' that was like sugar to my ears... It still has an effect on me...

  • It's amazing how something that aired over 30 years ago still can be etched in your memory. I was lost on a road trip and could not figure out how to get back to the highway. Then I remembered yo-yo man's logic. I got back on the highway in no time...thanks yo-yo man and sesame street!

  • @jerseydevs2000 yeah, the weird-looking chimney on the house puffing the cloud of smoke made it real spooky even without the yo-yo guy's face on it.

  • Is that voice supposed to sound like Ray Charles?

  • You know what I'm now realizing was so great about watching Sesame Street as a kid in the 80s? You never knew what was going to come on next. Even though this was obviously made in the early 70s, they must have ran skits like this all the way through the 80s because I completely remember this. Watching SS in the 80s was like a mixed bag hodgepodge-it gave you the feeeling of going on an adventure and not knowing where you were going next.

  • @CatalinaSafari73 Yep! Maybe the next time my family goes on a road trip and end up getting lost, we'll have to remeber the yo-yo master's clue as well. "Try to remeber everything you passed. But when you go back, make the first thing the last". Yeah, that would definatley work!

  • "ha-ha, yeaaaaaaahh" - The Eleventh Doctor stole that weird guy's line!

  • You'll never see SS as cool as this today.

  • Damn, I've been trying to remember this for years.....psychedelic and creepy

  • Not sure which I was more scared of as a kid... the plastic house, or the yo-yo guy turning into a plastic house. O_O

  • 0:58 to 1:04 is priceless!!

  • The kid says "I don't like it here," but I bet he did check out this weird but friendly place again, once he realized it wasn't so strange as all that, the people may look funny but were quite happy to help him. Looks like it was fairly close to his home.
