@@Teleflexx Thank you for the compliment! Just because you’re an adult doesn’t mean you have to give up that curiosity, awe, and wonder of a child. Even if society sucks and your job has no room for creativity, playfulness and curiosity are important self care. The more you allow yourself to learn new things and engage in play; the more your mind stays fresh. Play time and learning new things improves and maintains your cognitive functioning as you get older so you’re less likely to experience cognitive declination later in life. I recommend starting with a bag of multi sized googly eyes. Take them to work and hand them out to coworkers. I have a pair on my printer and my tower. They’re married. Sometimes they have marital issues and they stop talking to each other. It makes technical difficulties more fun.

Just came to the sad realization that DISNEY owns the muppets trademarks, damn!

[@isabellamarchitelli]

The part with the baby was so cute

[@neptunelady2562]

Loved it! It was awesome! And the encounter with the counting Count was incredible! I grew up with Sesame Street 💗

[@tabby5228]

That is the most wholesome, kooky and fun thing I’ve seen I’m my life.

[@Raven1180]

Such fond childhood memories. These guys were some of my favorite characters from Sesame Street. Ahh where have the years gone

[@bellem.e.8081]

Is this, like, a cult or something? *I need in*

[@dovahspy9813]

Cult, cult yep yep yep yep yepyepyepyepyepyepyep

Cult, cult, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, yip, uh huh, uh huh. ♡ T.E.N.

Ah ha ah ha

[@slightlyMara]

I did not know how much I needed this in my life, thank you for sharing

[@thatwiseoldbitchchannel]

These guys used to crack my Mom and I up so much back in the day… I wish she was here to see this…❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@marks47]

6:48 just as I was getting bored, and The Count shows up.

[@RRAdventuresandmore]

We were so happy to see the Count : )

[@riversong4997]

Cooouuuunnnnntttt...yip yip yip yip yip yip.

[@angelapham9983]

If y’all watch Sesame Street, y’all know who these are! Y’all are hillarious! 🤣

[@gerardduggan9109]

This is wonderful. I just showed it to my four year old and she laughed her head off.

[@lisajeanbandoli9808]

And the Oscar goes to these beautiful weirdos. ALL of US make such a wonderful family together ✊🏽😻

[@icekokoro2708]

I think Sesame Workshop needs to see this.

[@96Assassine]

Probably one of the best budget cosplays. Fuzzy blanket, a bit of black fabric and eyeballs

[@JPLooney]

"Fifteenth! Fifteenth Aliens!!! AH AH AH!!!" The Count

[@philipmonihan8222]

What are the odds? A troop of Sesame Street martians bumping into the Count at Comic-Con like that?

[@KawaiiBabyTragon]

Why am I only seeing this now, 5 years after the fact?? This is so cute??

[@brianjohnson5272]

I havent heard that opening in 35 years and still sung it perfectly!

[@abadgurl2010]

Sunny day, chasing the clouds away. On my way to where the air is clean, can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?

[@DreamDancer82]

@@abadgurl2010 Come and play. Everything's A-OK. Friendly neighbors there, that's where we meet. Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?

[@Mark_Goddin]

I am blessed today, for today is the day this showed up on my front page randomly.

[@torigray924]

You get one going, they all set off too!

[@khalillahgreen8776]

This was so amazingly awesome! I know I'm super late to the party, this just happened to show up in my feed randomly, but I feel I have to say: in these days and times where people are either actively looking for reasons to hate, disrespect and disregard others, or they're just doing it now because they think they can, it literally almost brought tears to my eyes to see people, aliens, storm troopers, toys, fellow muppets, phone booths and every other random thing you could imagine all grouped together, vibing, laughing and overall enjoying each other. To see so many differences, colors and species all getting together for the sake of having fun with so many shades of weird was incredible. I wish each and every one of you love ❤️ peace ✌🏽 and Yip Yips.👽💚

[@JediJuniper92]

I legit need to attend one of these. I think it would cure my depression.

[@Grizzlox]

Very few things are as joyful as a good convention. It doesn't even have to be official ComicCon. Any decent sized Con will do

[@GuyNamedCrystal]

Finally, KZbin recommendations give me something good

[@Bonnie_Mairead]

This is so genius, it makes me so happy knowing a group of people went as the aliens from Sesame Street. I only wish I could've been a part of it.

[@debbiehernandez5564]

These were my favorite growing up!! Thank you sesame street. I have found my people!!!

[@Trund27]

This is the most wholesome thing Ive seen all week. Beautiful
