Here is the long-awaited falling baker # 9. For me, watching these brings back memories of being 3 and 4 years old again. I don't have # 2 but remember seeing it sometime, somewhere!
I loved the countdowns to this stuff, all of them Probably contributed to my interest in Math an acquiring a Math degree in school! 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
I remember hoping beyond hope each time these sketches would start that it would be the Number 9 sketch - my favorite because I loved Rowlf. The tension would build as the counting went on. If they stopped before 9 or went on to 10 I'd be very disappointed. Thanks for posting this!
I always thought it was neat(still do think it's neat), the way they drew and painted the picture of the number 9,at the end here--if you look closely, you can see a number of red dots, surrounding the 9--as if they were patterned after the nine lights(in the segment with Rowlf, the dog, on Muppet Show, of course.) Cute, and funny, the way Rowlf turns his head all around, as the kids count the nine lights around him. Anyway, the red dots surrounding the 9 at the end, may have been the nine lights, or supposed to be(at least, it always seemed that way to me). Creative thought, anyway.
Thanks for posting this mstatz. The baker skits were my favorite skits on Sesame Street. Until I was about 12 I lived in a house that had an upstairs and I used to stand on the second or third step from the bottom with my hands empty and Iwould fall down the stairs like the baker did.
In other words, again, as the chorus of kids would count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, each number would appear over one set of dozen cookies(not that the kids would count 144 cookies individually, don't get me wrong!)
Sometimes letters and numbers and other young kids’ things little ones learn and know often let me do something special with my imagination, creativity, talents, architecture and vocabulary
Kurt Kauffman The only ones in this series in which Brian Henson,that's who the boy is,talks in his normal voice,are Baker Sketch 7, in which he just calmly says "Seven nickels"and the rarely seen Baker Sketch number one, in which says "One penny."
I'll never forget one time a "Double Play" happened to me. Following that segment was the Umbrella lady! And with that, I got the crap scared out of me, my brother cheered & cried "whoop-Whoop-WHOOP!" (ala Price Is Right when Grand Game's won), ran to my bedroom crying & scared, didn't come out until "Hollywood Squares".
I love how Jim Henson's son is so excited over 9 quarters. Then again... it WAS a lot of money in the early 70's, now it doesn't even buy a loaf of bread!
Also, in my opinion(after the way Rowlf was featured here), if they had made a #12 film, one of the counting segments(before the baker at the end),could be Cookie Monster, showing to us viewers, and saying,"TWELVE DOZEN COOKIES?!!"(in which case, each of the twelve sets of twelve cookies, would be what the kids' chorus would count.) Now wouldn't a treat like THAT--12 dozen cookies--suit Cookie Monster JUST PERFECTLY? Anyway, that would be a neat segment to have, for a Baker #12 film.
Dude I would do that everytime Sesame Street was over!!! My mom and dad didn't care I did that. Of course after the fall they would sometimes look at me as if asking "WTF?" Haha!!! The baker with the pies was my favorite part of these number segments!!!
There's also something about the way he says,"Nine, coconut-custard, pies!" I mean, as if he's saying the words, with commas in between, that make him sound so funny, here. Of course, it always was and still is funny, the way he musically announces the goodies, at the end, the number of which is the number of the film, just before falling down the stairs. Also, for me, the silliest baker films were this, and the 3, 4, and 6 films.
To me, at the end, right after the baker falls down the stairs, when I was a little kid, he seemed to look like he had to go to the bathroom, the way he is jiggling up and down, and the look on his face seems to say,"I should have gone(to the bathroom)earlier!" Now I know it's only because he is in pain(that he is jiggling about), from falling, and that he only looks DEJECTED, for STILL not doing his job right(of carrying the goodies carefully, so they or he don't fall.) HILARIOUS!
He’s been performing well before those shows with Jimmy Dean, and along side Baskerville in the early 60s. He was on the pilot episode with Kermit and makes a cameo on this clip. Funny thing he didn’t make any other appearances like Kermit did but got placed on as of the major characters on the muppets.
Sesame Street wasn't just great for educating kids, it also gave them something to laugh about. I think that's why so many people, myself included, remember these "clumsy baker" clips so fondly.
@@calvinwatson5639 He was a stuntman; he was trained for this sort of thing. I also think that the 10 segments were not all shot in one day, more like 3 days at the least.
Alex Stevens may have a clumsy baker,but on the same token,was an outstanding stuntman to endure the embarrassment of falling down stairs with those confectioners (sweets)I found them funny,but sad just the same.What a mess he was,but was still a good sport,a class act.The thing that sucked was when the baker segments were taken off because they were deemed too violent...What a crock!I think the person responsible should suffer...Miss Joan Ganz Cooney.Falling down stairs isn't violent.Shootings are violent,fights are violent.How about she don the bakers apparel and see how it is.They need to reboot and bring them back.
If there is such a thing as Baker #11, the baker would say "ELEVEN . . . . APPLE . . . . PIES!" If there is such a thing as Baker #12, the baker would say "TWELVE . . . . CHERRY . . . . CHEESECAKES!"
Dale Pidcoe DuBoistown, Pa. At the end of the song video,why did Alex Stevens cry after he tumbled down the stairs with the 9 coconut custard pies while watching the classic Sesame Street?
For years, I always thought the Baker was played by Christopher Loyd. But now I realize that was Jim Henson himself. I mean, you can hear the Kermit in his voice even. Thanks for the memory. :)
The baker bustin' his a** cracks me up every time... Never get tired of it. Is that the guy who does Ernie's voice or Kermit's voice....sounds a little familiar.
Yep! Me too! Laughing now after watching several of them. I start smiling when he gets to the top of the step, and can't help bursting out laughing as he takes his first step down.
AND FOR THE BAKER THAT KEEPS FALLING DOWN THE STAIRS: 9 trips to a chiropractor! 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.9. And then comes 9 investigations by OSHA for an unsafe workplace. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.9. And finally, 9 lawsuits from the previous bakers. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. ....and thats the song of nine!
Thanks for posting, indeed. The CTW (Children's Television Workshop) seems a little scared of the visceral impact these early segments have, as they have largely buried or disowned them. I mean -- just for the freakin' irony value alone, there should have been an adult-directed kids' CD of all this, beautiful early 70's MOOG sound effects and all. Or a DVD. But NO... they're much more fond of frickin' Elmo. Frickin' Elmo! *sigh* ... thank you, true believer, for using the peoples' media outlet to pick up all the slack that the biggest bureaucrat in the CTW couldn't. My whole generation thanks you.
Remembering also, of course, that the baker at the end of each of these segments is the apparently multi-talented Jim Henson. In some of them, you can hear Kermit fairly strongly.
I certainly did .Wasn't Rowlf animated with the others and Nanny on Muppet Babies.I remember that so well.Alex Stevens is the Baker/Stuntman that falls down stairs while spilling the confectioners.My favorite was and always will be the Baker 9 segment,what's your fave from 1to 10?Hope to hear from you.
Man, THAT was a real messy one. A comedy classic, though. In a comedy, you can never go wrong with a coconut custard pie. Or a coconut cream pie, take your pic.
My favorite number is 9.I wish they could put the SS episodes 2400 and 2409 where Elmo gets tickled by Bob and kids and Gina,but they keep delaying it.Also,on TEC,despite the dumb lawsuit, they 've actually shown 60 A with the ee,qu and sight word of and they didnt have a problem when I saw it before,still wanted to see the ee qu,of show,but they unfairly changed it.It would be cool if they showed 5 A,14 A.15 A,51 B,The M or Q sketch where Mark tasted both drinks spitting one and saying"Lady,they're both the pits".Never picked Zippy Cola,Easy Reader reading payday in 3 seconds,Crank being unable to read grouch in 3,saying gr,gr,gr and missing .Samantha,reading call in 3,Jesse ,lift in 3,The help sketch where Hattie Winston had 4 nightmares,Igor and the is,(3 to read),Spidey draws the Queen of Diamonds, The of song war with Buddy and Kelly,mix of old and new Letterman skits, would love to see "The Lady and the Beagle","A Big Nothing","Don't Toy With Me","Chocolate Judge"?,When they had the director's cut for prunes,did Winnie have to read prunes in 3 or 5 seconds,I wish they'd show it,the stop sketch when Mark and Brenda were in the theater and he kept laughing because Winnie was Tickling him.Samantha reading ,being tickled by the word tickle and Julie tapping with the word tap doing the same.See Sam Sit in the sun sipping soda and the lemon lime cone skit.
9 QUARTERS! Boy, that kid scared me yelling like that! That doesn't compare to Rita Moreno's HEY YOU GUYS! or Geoff Edwards "$25,000!" (New Treasure Hunt).
Actually, remember that Sneak Peek Previews skit where Ernie imitates the baker carrying "ten chocolate layer cakes!" and it turns out they're plastic? I think that was one of CTW's answers to such complaints. ;)
the truth there was not an 11 to 20 version of this is because season 1 which was the season when the baker shorts appeared only teach the numbers 1 to 10
I just looked up how much a dollar was worth in 1969 in Google, and those 9 quarters would be worth over $15 today. That would make me shout too if I were a little kid!
When did they stop showing these number shorts? I read in an article in some magazine that these were gone around 1976 or 77 due to kids imitating the baker falls and getting hurt physically.
Sesame Street is not ruined, the audience is getting younger and younger that is all. Children and toddlers look up to Elmo. Elmo became a central character in 1984 or 1985, before that he was just a background character, played by Brian Muehl and the late Richard Hunt. Kevin Clash with Muppet Elmo visits sick and dying gets, and hospitals. Elmo is love, if you and other Elmo haters, can't understand that never mind.
9 noodles (hey kid, they're are kids starving in Africa who will eat 9 noodles so eat them and quit your whining), 9 lights (hey, that's Rowlf!!!), 9 mice (don't let them escape), 9 quarters (wow, you're $2.25 richer Brian Henson), 9 coconut custard pies (9 pieces of mush after the baker falls down yet again)!!! :)

They should bring the Baker segments back. Loved them always.
Yeah he a beautiful mess
At 1:30
Thank you. I love seeing Rowlf.
I have completely forgotten about this one.
Love all these shorts. 1-10. My favorite part is when the baker falls down the stairs at the end. Can't believe Jim Henson did the announcements.

NINE LIGHTS - that's Rowlf all right! That line sticks out the most as I fondly remember this and all of the other Baker clips.
Rowlf's first appearence?
From The Muppets
I always thought it was neat(still do think it's neat), the way they drew and painted the picture of the number 9,at the end here--if you look closely, you can see a number of red dots, surrounding the 9--as if they were patterned after the nine lights(in the segment with Rowlf, the dog, on Muppet Show, of course.)

Anyway, the red dots surrounding the 9 at the end, may have been the nine lights, or supposed to be(at least, it always seemed that way to me). Creative thought, anyway.
I'll bet that after the tenth and final episode, the baker must have been in the hospital singing "ELEVEN...PRESCRIPTIONS OF...DEMEROL".
This brings back childhood memories, jeez where did my youth go?
Sesame Street needs to reboot this segment
agreed
They did in a way.
This is so amazing, I didn't realize I knew these until I watched this clip and I remembered this from the 80s as a little kid.
They stopped showing great things like this,Don music,mad painter because kids were imitate all of this & get hurt
Funny seeing fall in this one, he was crying at the end😂

1:30 - The most awkward chef in the world!😂😂😂
Remember this as kid to this day, and thought it was the funniest thing with the baker busting his ass down the stairs with the pies! Nostalga lane
9 quarters. That was a lot of money back in the early 1970's. You could take ALL of your friends to the movies with that much.
In other words, again, as the chorus of kids would count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, each number would appear over one set of dozen cookies(not that the kids would count 144 cookies individually, don't get me wrong!)
Is it just me, or has this sketch - particularly the part with the baker - been burned forever into my mind?
Mine also. The baker is what I remember best about these number vids.

It's a miracle the baker didn't break his leg or something. Especially considering that he did it TEN TIMES!
Seeing that chef spill all those pies that he probably spent hours preparing hurts.
Rowlf made his cameo appearance in this classic
@cne08
I always wondered if they still showed that segment! I liked it when I was little, and I think I was more careful on our stairs because of it!
“Nine Lines” 💀💀💀
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90,
the truth there was not an 11 to 20 version of this is because season 1 which was the season when the baker shorts appeared only teach the numbers 1 to 10
Right,when the number of the day only went as high as 10. Same difference with the Jazzy spies series.
The featured dessert presented by the baker in the ONE skit is a wedding cake.
Besides Rowlf the Dog, a young Brian Henson also appears here (he's the kid with the "nine quarters").
I'm sorry to hear that you had a nightmare about this. I hope you're ok now. I used to have nightmare about the ghosts from Ghostbusters.
Ahh! I used to run screaming out of the room when the chef came on towards the end. Very sensitive child. It's still kinda scary...
Yep, Rowlf's there and so is Jim's son, Brian, "Nine quarters!"
that guy who found the 9 mice in this video was also known being Wally in the Wally and Ralph skits
0:42 ...and a guy named Trent suddenly has an idea for a band.
9 quarters? That's $2.25. That's enough for an NYC bus ride.
Far out! Rowlf the Dog in one of his very limited appearances on Sesame Street!
Yes! It is the voice of Jim Henson, who does the voice of Ernie, Kermit and Guy Smiley.
And of course of Rowlf, who makes his one and only Sesame Street appearance here.
One down, 8 lives to go.
how many times has this been on Sesame Street
I just looked up how much a dollar was worth in 1969 in Google, and those 9 quarters would be worth over $15 today. That would make me shout too if I were a little kid!
My fave Muppet's in this--long before he tickled the ivories on the Muppet Show! Did I say "9 lights!"
When did they stop showing these number shorts? I read in an article in some magazine that these were gone around 1976 or 77 due to kids imitating the baker falls and getting hurt physically.
+doug bell No, they were still featuring these in latter 1970s, even in the 1980s, I had heard.

TQ tewswwwww GTX
Rowlf was a regular performer on "The Jimmy Dean Show" - predates Sesame Street by quite a bit, I think - there are some vids on UA-cam
Thank God For UA-cam!! I've been watching Sesame Street 30 years Memories Last Forever!!
That Baker always fell down the stairs ruining the foods.
Sesame Street is not ruined, the audience is getting younger and younger that is all. Children and toddlers look up to Elmo. Elmo became a central character in 1984 or 1985, before that he was just a background character, played by Brian Muehl and the late Richard Hunt. Kevin Clash with Muppet Elmo visits sick and dying gets, and hospitals. Elmo is love, if you and other Elmo haters, can't understand that never mind.
