Which Sesame Street character are you?

Somehow, I'm not suprised that many of us are turning out to be Berts

Sesamstrasse (German Sesame Street) made its debut in 1973 (I think), making Germany one of the first countries to get its own version of the show. Interesting that Britain didn't get its "own" version of "Sesame Street" though the show "Rainbow" (1972-1992) was originally concieved as being a UK answer to Sesame Street. Rainbow is not without its charm but it fails in that regard

In Britain, Sesame Street first aired on 1TV from 1971 (!) then on Channel 4.

LOL sesame street is on disney channel now haha, is it sad that its still funny?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 12 Jun 2006, 17:01

I saw something on one of the Disney Channels, its called Play With Me Sesame or something like that?

Not a patch on the original obviously, but I did see a "new" Bert/Ernie skit on there which was pretty funny

Finally! An excuse to use this smiley:

"It's not easy bein' green. . ."

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 13 Jun 2006, 11:16

Its not that easy Bein' Green
Having to spend each day
The colour of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer
Being red, or yellow or gold
Or something much more colourful like that

All time classic lament from Kermit.

I love the "In The Quiet Of The Evening" sketch, with a song about what a quiet night it is ("When I listen in the Quiet of the Evening/What do I hear/Water dripping..." etc), then as the song goes on it gets louder and louder until he cant take any more!

Let's not forget its educational lesson, though. By the end of the song, Kermit accepts himself and decides it's not half bad being green after all.

Ah, the early days of PC.

I guess it is.

I'm green
And it'll do fine
Its' beautiful
And I think it's what I wanna be.

Mind you Sesame Street had many, many songs where they cheer up a sad/angry person with just one song also, there was one where they persuaded a Number 1 that they were "unique" as they could count the moon, sun etc and other singular stuff.

Another extremely stirring song by Kermit is the excellent "My Way" pastiche "This Frog", at the beginning the scene is in a office and one frog says of Kermit "A frog.. behind a desk? Doing office work?! Ha ha ha!" which leads into the song.

LOL at all the people who got Ernie. He was the bitch of the relationship (Bert was the butch).

68M do you remember the classic Beatles parodies "Hey Food" and "Letter B"?

The Sesame Street versions don't sound quite the same as the Beatles tunes (they're based on them though, certainly in their style), BUT the lyrics can be fitted exactly to the genuine songs (eg "Hey Food" can be sung to the tune of the REAL "Hey Jude").

Try it

You Are Animal

A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts.
You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary.
But you sure can beat a good drum.

You Are Rowlf the Dog

Mellow and serious, you enjoy time alone cultivating your talents.
You're a cool dog, and you always present a relaxed vibe.
A talented pianist, you can play almost anything - especially songs by Beethoven.

Dont know how they'd think I'm a good piano player. i have no musical abilities whatsoever

the68monkey · Post by **the68monkey** » 17 Jul 2006, 01:59

But what do you think about that "my bark is worse than my bite" stuff? I mean, after all, we know you're all noise and no action.

/me unzips pants, jumps Bobs...

I don't know. I dont really bark all that much. I occasionally bite

I think people that know me would say my bite would definately be worse then my bark

Then I guess Rowlf is more of a reflection of your fictitious online persona here at BnB.

:mrgreen:

Oh, how different we all appear online than we are in person.

HEY! This forum ain't big enough for two Scooters. :shock:

I'll gladly relinquish my Scooter-ness

Um, me too. :glasses3:

You know which one I'd be afraid for people on this forum to take? The "Are You a Sociopath?" quiz.

We might have a few of those lurking around here, disguised as Muppets. :chain:

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 17 Jul 2006, 16:02

Sorry, I did it first. You have to be Scooter! Nyah-nyah!

There's a sociopath one?! Sign me up!
(That in itself is never a good sign

)

the68monkey · Post by **the68monkey** » 17 Jul 2006, 16:13

Um, I didn't take it, nor did I write down the address. Best guess is that it probably has the same address as all those other quizzes, but with areyouasociopathquiz as the end of it? Give it a try, Kurgan.
