Sesame Street Season 1 Being Savage and Chaotic for Nearly 8 Minutes

[@jacobs.9661]

Sesame Street season 1 is extremely interesting to me. This manic energy feels very similar to other early Muppet projects and how they weren't afraid to get especially chaotic, yet also reigns it in so small children to watch without wanting to shoot at people who didn't drink the same coffee they did. Or maybe that's just me feeling especially pretentious today.

lmao, this was waaaay back when they were allowed to say “stupid” haha

[@teriyakiravioli]

@josephleanos7754 Really?? I thought the original sales pitch was “The Itty Bitty Nitty Gritty Kiddie Show”

[@achingforstrength]

100th like Why was that allowed then? and why not now? 🤔

[@browniethesnivy]

I’m a bit of a Sesame maniac myself, but I’d never seen the clip of Kermit fighting the W or the Bert and Ernie promo clip at the end! Hilarious!

[@camharkness]

It was a vastly different show in season one.

[@Gay_fraggle]

I like it better than the later seasons

Cookie Monster when he had only two braincells.

[@thatmanwithanose]

Now he has three!

[@EsmeAmelia]

That segment where Ernie murders Cookie - why hasn't it gone viral? Anyone who thinks Elmo's tantrums over Rocko are the most savage things on Sesame Street ain't seen nothing yet.

[@teriyakiravioli]

Want me to screen record it?

The four eyed monster bit had me dying with laugher. (The four eyed monster is actually the beautiful day monster with four eyes.)

That guy traumatized me as a kid

[@timothydarden6133]

The 1928 Mickey Mouse cartoons (Steamboat Willie & the silent versions of Plane Crazy & The Gallopin' Gaucho) being in the public domain now has caused me to think about when the earliest seasons of Sesame Street will get the same treatment. I can imagine Sesame Workshop, being a non-profit organization, being more flexible with public domain law, so if the research I have done is correct, the first 38 episodes of Season 1 will be in the public domain in 2065, and the next 131 episodes (the remainder of Season 1 (39-130) & the first 38 episodes of Season 2) will follow suit in 2066. The incarnations of Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Ernie, & Bert from way back when will probably also be in the public domain around that time. I'll be in my mid-60's by then, but it'll be worth it seeing people have a way to make Ernie & Bert gay with literally nothing holding them back...and there'll probably be horror movies made with Sesame Street characters, but that's food for thought that's better off shelved.

[@geoffreyrichards6079]

A decent amount of Jim Henson’s early commercial work (minus the Wilkins coffee commercials) are apparently in the public domain due to a lack of copyright notices, so one could use those early Muppet material as a basis for your own work.

[@Kris-we7ei]

Naurrrr whyd they treat cookie like that 💀💀💀

[@janmelantu7490]

Sid deserved better than that

[@cosmic_caffee_XD]

we need to give him his rights now

[@Gay_fraggle]

@@cosmic_caffee_XD yea

[@Gay_fraggle]

I still have no idea if Cookie's an adult, or a kid

[@JAKECOT_CENTER]

@Gay_fraggle he’s an adult. He’s got a rent controlled apartment and can drive

[@prettybadcontent8301]

1:38 it took me a full five minutes to realize that the *yeet* wasn't actually included in the original clip. Either it fits very well or I'm just stupid.

[@marcusblackwell2372]

3:00 This is clearly a w. Not a u. Edit: Nevermind I thought the subtitle said "The letter u"

[@Walid-mk4jo]

I started fucking dying with the w coming out of nowhere and just attacking kermit 💀

[@NickPorter-j2m]

Bert:You gotta have credits Ernie it’s a rule. Sesame Street Until 2002:only plays credits on Fridays

[@JCFPlush225]

I can't believe how much beef Ernie had with Cookie Monster back then

[@janmelantu7490]

I wonder if that address still works…

[@zechhur1fnafpoppyplaytime777]

The first season was so violent!

[@matthewhutchinson9353]

Can we all agree that the first 20 years of sesame street were the golden years

[@kyaparker5504]

6:29 is my favorite part of the video.

[@madepines3455]

That sound when Bert hit Ernie

[@connorseeger1009]

1:35 yeeeeeeeeeet

[@JCFPlush225]

I never heard Ernie say the word Stupid, that lets you know how far the show has come.

[@tiffanyfowler810]

I think the the first season is pretty cool and I like the ending very funny

[@Safariahmari1119]

Without the letter W, we couldn’t spell Wanton.😂

[@chuckbracken]

Funny love too see some monsters sing about Fur

2:21 when I'm reading a cringy diary of a wimpy kid fanfiction book.

[@KyleJBAwesomeness-OfficialChan]

What episode is the last clip from at the end where Ernie keeps begging Bert to do more stuff in the episode when the end credits roll

[@stevennorthrup5790]

It’s actually from “This Way to Sesame Street”, a preview of the then-upcoming children’s series that aired on NBC before the show premiered on November 10th on PBS (originally NET)

[@ApacheHelicoptor]

So it either was from S1 E1 (First episode) or it was production material from S1 E1 or a possible Pilot episode that was pitched to NBC or it was from some other thing (like a test for the puppets or a test for sets).

[@teriyakiravioli]

2:00 - 2:03 lol

[@1CourtneyMichelle]

This is FUNNY🤣

[@Matty272]

So was Cookie Monster originally the Bacon and X monster?

[@teriyakiravioli]

No. His name was actually sid.

[@MadelynnGoyack]

I’m so mad I can’t even believe it!

[@heavyflamerheresy2581]

Is Kermit a muppet or from sesame?

[@perryjimenez5629]

So to make things clear, Sesame street IS a Muppet show. Jim Henson created and performed a good number if the original characters, as well as being one of the show's co-creators. the reason why Kermit appears on sesame street is to give an understanding that this is how The already popular Muppets would educationally be appealing to children, it's basically a children's Spin-off of The Muppet Brand, so yes Kermit is a Muppet, but so is Ernie, Bert, big bird, cookie Elmo and the rest of the beloved characters, they are all muppets (also it is been stated that The Muppets and Sesame Street take place in the same world, having the characters from both shows crossover multiple times in film and television)
