Having a good day? Good, read this.

That he did. Elmo is the demon muppet. He must be staked, decapitated, and cremated, but only after being sodomized with a wooden spoon. A wooden grapefruit spoon. Stupid spotlight-hog. You know I was a muppet once!

Frank Oz, Mr. Rogers, Tupac... my childhood has already died enough that another scratch won't matter.


On an unrelated note, WHY'D YOU HAVE TO GO AND INTRODUCE ME TO ANOTHER COMIC!? I've been reading the archives all day now!

FRANK OZ DIED?! when did this happen??!! though, tupac never was a big part of my childhood, so that wasn't a.... uhh..... biggy?

but on that unrelated note- isn't SP awesome? frickin hilarious!

[beejazz]

I thought Frank Oz died... Did he not? 'Cuz that'd be cool.

And yes, SP is pretty sweet. I'm on "Know him? I raped him!" part. Yeah... wierdness.

Reminds me a bit of the old Grover is Bitter. He too was betrayed by Elmo.

You should team up to kill him.
Meanwhile in happier news. Frank Oz is quite alive. His next project is the next Star Wars Clone Wars TV Series.

It made me laugh.

I never watched sesame street, and I don't recognize any of those people. Besides, I never associate characters with their actors. William Shatnir is Captain Kirk, that one guy who plays Neo is Neo, and that other guy is Captain Jack Sparrow. What was his name? I forget. So anyway, they only die in my eyes when the series is cancelled, and even then there's still reruns and DVD sets.

keanu reeves played neo, and johnny "look at me im such a prettyboy middleaged man, i have millions of underage girls fawning over my posters!" depp was jack sparrow.

Yeah, see, I don't know these things.

[SDragon]

i know i'll probably get lynched for saying this, but personally, i like keanu reeves.

johnny depp is good, but he's overrated, particularly in the aformentioned underage girl demographic.

and now you know :)

[beejazz]

Keanu Reeves vs. Johnny Depp?

FIGHT
(Ninja vs. Pirate all over again)

Never liked Sesame Street.  Stupid frelling terry-cloth bastards.

Muppets all the way.

Uh... you do know that they are muppets on Sesame Street... Designed by Henson and everything...

They are not officially muppets, they are just a lesser offshoot of the true muppet.

Wow.  Just...wow.

This is, in fact, just wrong.  Just rewrites history like nobody's business.

The Muppet Show was an offshoot of (or rather, a prime time, somewhat more adult reuse of) the muppets.  Kermit, Fozzy, and IIRC, several other of the "Show" muppets started out on Sesame Street.  For that matter, the classic "Mahna Mahna" sketch aired (in possibly more than one version) on Sessame street.

Plus, the 70's, pre-Muppet Show Sesame Street?  Roxxor.  Pure "parody of prime time television" gold, with great songs, comedy (Bert and Ernie), etc.

Now, the more modern SS?  Can't speak of it; haven't seen it.  But trying to write SS out of the Muppet canon?  That's just cold, man.

[beejazz]

Where to find and buy old seasons of Sesame Street? Do they even sell those?

[mneme]

I haven't tried looking for them (yet, anyway; I've been having a blast going through the Muppet Season 1 DVD, though), but I'm pretty sure you can get them in any good TV video section.  Hmm.  Google to the rescue: Try: Sesame Street Old School - Vol. 1: 1969-1974 on DVD

$29.09 from cduniverse.

Note that it's definately a "best of" collection -- IMO, they should sell whole old seasons, but I didn't find them on a cursory search. :(
