  Sesame Street King Ernie (was: Re: Castle returns for 2000!)
 
(...) For some reason this reminds me of an old Sesame Street skit where Ernie was a caveman king (or maybe he was a medieval king, I forget). Anyway, they were doing something and they got stuck/confused and didn't know how to continue. Ernie (...) (25 years ago, 4-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Yah -- they were cavemen, and they couldn't figure out how to leave the cave. The large wooden door leading out is large and quite conspicuous right behind them... As I recall, it wasn't very flattering towards royalty. :-, Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 4-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Yup me too.... Ah, the good old days of Sesame Street, with skits they can't show anymore... Does anyone else remember the pineapples? He's with the pineapples, he's happy. :) James (URL) (25 years ago, 4-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Arg. You can't be serious. Really?!? Arg. Those old skits were the best. Oh, well. I figured the show (and anything Muppet) would go all to hell after Jim Henson died. Frank Oz is a good director, and makes a nearly sexy piggie, but he really (...) (25 years ago, 4-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) What are you, the Royal Smart Person? ;-) Who was in that one---? I remember Ernie, but not Bert. And I think there were one or two anonymous Muppets. Were Guy Smiley or Hemlock Shemlock part of that skit as well? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 4-Nov-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Yup. At least one skit I know of for sure, (the Amazing Mumphert & the disappearing pineapple trick skit) was pulled quite a while ago because it <paraphrase warning> 'encouraged a lack of responsibility and a disregard for consequences' It's (...)

My god, I loved those monsters too... My favorite part of that skit was when something that they didn't expect would happen, ( like the phone ringing) they would pull their lower lip up over their head. That image still makes me smile.
