Holy shit Sesame Street!! ( not what you think )
 

Here is some of the fucking CRAZY shit I used to watch on Sesame Street as a kid. Trust me this is worth a look, especially if you're seeing it for the first time in 20 years like I did, does a number on your brain. Hrmm, anyways, I think some of these things had a great influence on the person I am now. I watched them at a VERY young age, like probably 3 or 4.

So freaking insane for a kids show right? I guess creators had more creative control over their shows back then.

pretty cool stuff. not really surprising or out of the ordinary, but def cool

I really like that funky pinball song. Thanks EyeballGrowth. That was fun.

Thanks to Sesame street I still sometimes call zed (British pronounciation) zee (American pronounciation)

I like the pinball skit...it was hardcore.

Science is teh shit.

I fucking love the clown thing

Has Sonic Youth ever done anything with the Muppets?

Seasme Street should take "100%" and turn it into a math song, I remember seeing the Seasme Street "Letter B" vingette? Skit? Many moons ago, and I rember R.E.M. singing "Shiny, Happy, Monsters" quite a while back.

A Muppets alternative rock special would be nice...

Eh, maybe it's just me, but I thought that stuff was extremely unusual and avant garde for a kid's television show, which is what made it so awesome.

Even the pinball one to me has " weird " written all over it, especially with the music. To me lots of the animated and live action stuff from the 70's was just " weird "




anyways you're welcome. Interesting stuff huh

Here's another 70's clip. It's not unusual at all though, it's more cutesy kids stuff

I do get what you mean... It's obviously much smarter than any of the kid's shows around now, and it has this charming vibe to it. I think the last clip you showed was quite avant-garde too...

I like it for the footage, very interesting footage

I was watching it today and it was friggen hilarious. It was elmos world and he was learning about balls.

"Lately Dorothy has been thinking about balls."
"Lets look on the tv to learn about balls."
"How do you play with balls baby?"
