No Tailgating! featuring Billy, Sue and Sneegle

Billy, Sue, and Sneegle were created for the Council of Churches/Protestant Radio and Television Center in Atlanta in 1962. This ad was made in cooperation with the Citizens Advisory Committee on Highway Safety to promote safe driving. Billy and Sue try to be good despite the hounding of the irresponsible Sneegle.

Sneegle looks like a Klansman.

The commercials featuring the sneegle were supposed to teach kids safety rules. However, they failed the test screenings, because the children were more interested in imitating the antics of the sneegle than behaving like Billy and Sue were telling them to.

Billy sounds like big bird.

@Madams1977 You Mean The Sneegle

Sue's Voice Is Similar To Princess Gwendolinda's!

@cstoczyn I always thought that if they filmed this in color, Sneegle would be a Green AM ('cause of the pointy head) when it turns out he is a red monster, also if you listen very closely Billy sounds like Farley and Sue sounds like either Princess Gwendolinda from the Tales of Tinkerdee or Baby Piggy, btw does anyone on Youtube have the Muppets appearances on the Mike Douglas Show (The Ed Sullivan Show ones were taken down) or The Purple-Necked Black-Bearded Blatch I'd love to see those!

@Madams1977 Whoops ok, my bad, I didn't stick around for the end of the video with the Henson logo.. duh, my mistake.

[Madams1977]

The guy tailgating sounds like Rowlf from the Muppets. I wonder if Henson had anything to do with this..
