I think Frazzle could return as a GREAT representation of non-verbal children who only speak in actions and noises.
Maybe if they ever want to introduce him again they could probably use him as a teaching tool for children to teach them about non-verbal communication alongside another puppet that is well less monstrous and more like a little kid I think that would be a very good
@@isobel9195 frazzle made a background appearance recently
(at least in my experience) a lot of autistic kids find stuff thats scary/creepy to other kids more interesting or run-of-the-mill, so i think itd be cool if they brought frazzle back to make friends w/julia considering the aforementioned point + they both communicate in “usual” but still completely fine ways :]
I love frazzle
They should try to make him less scary and more cute.
I met the human cast of Sesame Street at the museum of the moving image and they were VERY nice!
Lucky You!
That's cool
The older ones included like Bob McGrath and Loretta Long?
I met Dave Goelz and Karen Prell at MoPop and they too were very nice.
That "I Am Not a Banana" song sounds like that Whose Line game where you have to make up a song based on the last thing someone said.
Wow now that you mention it, it really does. Just gotta gwt Wayne Brady to sing it.
Oh boy... - John the scientist
I remember Lefty, man does that bring found memories!
I agree, what amateur wrote that shit, anyway? Even the talents of Caroll Spinney couldn't save this out-of-tune, ridiculous headscratcher of a song performed to a mambo beat.
My husband & I just said that as soon as we heard the song on here.
I loved how Gina was a "I can do anything" woman from owning a daycare to having a degree in veterinary care she was a role model for every little girl and still is
every 5 year old boys first crush and heartbreak as well.
She was my FAVORITE female human on the show! I related to her the most.
Gina is the best.
you know I'm starting to wonder if Sesame Street suffered from a mini recession in between seasons, because I guess sending Slimey to Space really ate up some money, considering so many characters and businesses were dropped which is why Gina's daycare disappeared and she went into veterinary medicine

I AM NOT A BANANA A BANANA IS A THING THAT I'M NOT
Ur not a banana
My name is Fallon to
10/10 lyrics
U r not a banana you're a human being
Im a banana so wot
I loved Lefty as a kid !!!! "You buy the O and take it Hoooome.... Tonight." 😆😂
My hubby and I almost died laughing the first time we saw that skit on my son's sesame Street DVD.
lefty wouldve felt right at home in the HAPPYTIME MURDERS movie
Hope LaMond, Don’t you mean sugar? Because that is puppet’s version of drugs.
Hope LaMond, also I did a whole series on my channel about reused puppets that appeared in the Happytime Murders! It is very interesting if you want to check it out!
Finally! More Happytime enthusiasts!
Lefty sings a song called ,"Would you like to buy an 'O'" to Ernie that reminds me of Shere Khan trying to tempt Mowgli from Disney's Jungle Book.
Riiiigghhtt!😆😆😆
@@FilmmakeroftheFuture just discover rhat movie
I completely appreciate your attempts to please your audience by correcting mistakes and striving to do better. That said, please don't feel you need to apologize. These videos have been great so far! Keep up the awesome work! :)
neocelestia agreed! I also appreciated the longer intro in part one.
@@ChristinaOurWoodHome I did as well. It was a nice set up to what the videos were intended to cover. :)
"I'm gettin' outta here! Listen, I don't even understand what he's saying! I know he's saying something negative!" God, I love this Benny character!
I totally agree with you about the human characters! These days we’ve only got three boring humans who aren’t as clever as the original cast.
Artica Kennedy I’m pretty sure there will never be a Sesame cast as beloved or talented as that one was.
I loved the original cast! I remember bawling my eyes out when Mr Hooper died. Totally had a crush on David when I was 3. Oh, those were the days! 😊
I think my favourite human character was Luis
Alan, Chris and Nina are not boring.
*Gina
Never apologize for releasing amazing content. This was GREAT!
Professor Hastings can be summed up with this Animaniac's quote.
"Congratulations, you've discovered a cure for insomnia."
To be honest I pronounce it as Snufflelufagus all the time, but I never got yelled at for it
Sean Malone: Holy crap I think I’ve been pronouncing it like that too!
Edit: I put “I think” twice.
Me to
I had no idea it was spelled like that
Same
Probably Sesame Street's most mispronounced character.
me:*scrolls through youtube*
also me: *sees 50 retired muppets*
me:*screams*
I liked Little Bird. He was sadly under-used.
Kaleidoscope Eyes Little Bird was female.
@@garthdavis4320 really? It's been 40 odd years so my memory isn't great but good for her! There were so few female muppets then :)
@@garthdavis4320 He had a female performer, but was usually referred to as male. (Though female pronouns are used in the 1977 song "Big Bird's Lullaby", that's the only time that happened)
@@garthdavis4320 he was a male!
I did too!
Everyone: exists
Kingston: *dissapears*
Nurs Malik 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I see what you did there😉
Damn this comment is genius ngl
This is a real labor of love... terriffic work!
I'm glad you all like it so much!
@@ColinLooksBack good job
There are worse ways to go out than having your last appearance being with Patti LaBelle.
Like having the last film you direct star Melissa McCarthy?
@@tysargent9647 🎤🎤🎤
Haha
I swear, "Would you like to buy a c?" has been stuck in my head my entire life. Lol.
How about ...you take the golden an and give it to stan and put it in the tan van . thats the plan understand?
@@viper575theviperiscoming4 I remember that skit as if it were yesterday! "You take the golden AN, put it in the tan van, give it to Dan, who will take it to Fran."
@@audreyseddon9749 so you put it in the tan truck...uh no..lol
The one I remember is would you like to buy an o
@@viper575theviperiscoming4 "And I give it to Horace! No no no no no no no!"
Oh please...without the context of the intro to Part 1 it wouldn’t have been as informative and you would have had an equal number of people complaining that characters weren’t included, or were included in the list and why, and why not...so in the end you’ve saved yourself a lot of time...keep up the great work. 👍🏼
Ahh, Lefty the Huckster. Makes me think there was more to Sesame Street than anybody imagined. Dark and unsettling...
Hey Bud
Who me?
Shhhhhhhhhhhh
Who me?
Riiiigggggghhhhhhtttttt
I think it was important your intro for part one as long as it was. Without talking about the rules in part one there'd be more questions and complaints in the comments.
A muppet that helps kids go to sleep sounds amazing for nap time
I never thought I’d be interested in learning the history of Sesame Street
Same! My childhood show!
I miss Lefty the salesman and Roosevelt Franklin they were cool.
Peter Smith 🎶Roosevelt Franklin (baa) elementary school 🎶
I also loved Roosevelt Franklin's head ball sketches with Hard head Henry Harris. Thanks and Happy 50th birthday Sesame street.
I love Roosevelt Franklin. My dad used to sing me one of his songs all the time when I was a kid
Peter Smith same here , both were really funny .
Roosevelt was played by the original Gordon Matt Robinson I think he was only on Sesame st for something like 3 seasons not sure whether he still voiced Roosevelt Franklin or some other guy did the voice of him a few years later after Matt left the show it'd be interesting to find out.
Frazzle frightened me initially, but I eventually came to LOVE his song. This was thanks to the Monster Hits VHS that I, too, watched endlessly in preschool.
Your long intros are part of your charm in my opinion. You really don’t need to apologize! Thank you for also taking the time to give the humans a proper thank you as well. Lefty was such a great character! I’ll miss him a lot. I actually love the idea of Sesame Street having a secret dark side!
I LOVE LEFTY! SO HAPPY HE IS RETURNING IN SEASON 50 CONFIRMED!!!!!!! Also Don Music...
"Would you like to buy an O, round and neat? A nearly perfect circle, tidy and complete."
what
@@oldiesmusic76 are u talking to me?
you have summoned the person with a Don Music pfp
I loved Frazzle as a kid. The "Fuzzy and Blue" song being my favorite.
I take the Golden AN, and I put it in the tan truck. No, that's not right.
I always liked Lefty trying to sell Ernie an 'O'. It'll cost you just a nickel.
And I still pronounce it "BA-na-nah"
I remember lefty the salesman he is one of my favourite “forgotten” muppets
With Frazzle, its likely the fangs; all the other 'monsters' have barren mouths
Makes you wonder how Cookie Monster chews all those cookies.
He doesn't; he just NOMNOMNOMNOMs them into worthless crumbs (that's ol' Cookie Monster for you...)
@@ColinLooksBack he doesn't; he just stuffs his mouth with cookies
Thank for this series, a great trip down memory road for me,as I was a child of the 70s.
A Golden AN is a plot device to teach kids about words that rhyme ending with “AN”; for example: “I’m StAN, I’m the mAN, I knew I should have rAN”
Little Bird! I knew him from somewhere and was always having to explain who he was. He was on a pillowcase I had with lots of different Sesame Street characters
“I know he’s saying something negative”
*says the muppet who is the definition of negativity*
I think Frazzle sent a good message to kids: not to judge by appearances.
I remember Herbert Birdsfoot. I loved Lefty, the salesman!! I especially loved the gangster/criminal skits as a kid, and always wished they'd done more of them.
3:48 That is some of the best haircuts I've ever seen!
Frazzle sounds like he has autism (like julia) but higher on the spectrum (as in while julia can talk, albeit with simple words while frazzle can only make grunts) that and the fact that he has a problem with crayons and Rabbits ears (probably due to sensory issues)
I see him like this because I have the same problems (i talk better online than I do irl and I have some sensory issues)
Good point! That would make Frazzle less scary!
He scared me as a kid
Guess ol' Frazz was ahead for his time.
Actually, he'd be lower on the Spectrum because he'd be considered non-verbal, meaning that he can only make noises but can't actually talk
@@zarachastellaris9016 you know I think Alice snuffleupgus has autism
In reality Professor Hastings turned into a human and became a part of the Pokémon Ranger Union.
Most Muppets performed by the original performers would be retired after they no longer worked for CTW since they would have to come up with new performers.
Little Bird was supposed to have flown south and didn't return to Sesame Street, which happened early on. She was suppose to be a counterpart to Big Bird.
The Harvey Kneeslapper skit I most vividly remember is when Ernie is playing Robin Hood, and Harvey shows up to sign up as one of the "Merry Men". But Ernie finds him so insufferable, he decides to switch to "Robin Hood and His Angry Men" instead.
Harvey: Knock, knock
Harvey's victim: Who's there?
Harvey: Dionne
Harvey's victim: Dionne who?
Harvey: (slaps a capital D on victim's sweater) "D on YOU!!!"
😆🤣😆

8:12 - Kingston Livingstone III
9:54 - Lefty the Salesman
11:09 - Leo the Party Monster

Frazzle was always my favorite one, even when I was little I liked the scary monsters: my favorite Land Before Time character was Sharp Tooth, my favorite character from Gremlins 2 was Mohawk (the scariest, most evil looking gremlin) & my favorite Sesame Street Muppet was Frazzle
I thought Frazzle was actually cute. The song he sang to sleep was so sweet. Makes you want to hug him.
Man this channel is so good for the amount of subscribers it has
Awww thanks!
Little Toaster so true
14:35 - Just like how they sighed with relief when Don Music was retired?
Tim Mackie so true.
Don Music is the most precious thing in the world, you are being offensive
Little Chrissy performing 8 balls of fur is one of my first times seeing him😊
Little Chrissy is almost like a Muppet version of Little Richard! And I remember Kingston! His song “Be Yourself” is one of my favorite Sesame Street songs from the past seasons!
Leo could have introduced foreign holidays by throwing theme parties.
That legitimately sounds like a great idea!
Little Chrissy is one of my favorite old Sesame Street characters.
I remember Joey, Davy, and Little Bird
Harvey Kneeslapper was one of my favourite muppets.
Harvey Kneeslapper always made me laugh x
Never apologize your doing an amazing job especially with this information I learned so much great work! Thank you soooo much for the vids
I love how, for Leo, you used the Donkey Kong Country music for Funky's Flights :)
Harvey is completely insane, and as an adult he has cracked me up several times. I love him!
i remember seeing him in an episode, he went savage and stuck a Z on someone's back.
I did a drawing of Little Bird when I was 3 years old, and I never understood why he disappeared so soon?
Oh! I remember Little Crissy! I miss him so much!
When I watched Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary, I'm like, "Sherry Netherland is there, but not Benny." Little Chrissy should've been there as well
I think that Frazzle is good for children is because he always very kind and thoughtful. When I First saw Frazzle I thought he was scary!
I used to be terrified of frazzle as a child but when he starts interacting with the humans I began to understand him
YESSS, I remember Little Bird! Always wondered where he went.
I think your intro was just fine, it gets everything started off right.
I remember Joey and Davey being seen on "Elmo Says Boo!", and Lefty the Salesman being seen in "The Monster at the End of this Book". For some reason (at 24 years old) I still have them both.
Lefty never appeared in the book. Just Grover.
Frazzle is what the Tasmanian Devil would like if he turned into a Muppet Monster
I Love Linda Bove, She was Born Deaf and taught me Sign Language, plus her and Bob were an Item on the Show, don't Believe me just watch the Christmas Special where Cookie Monster eats the Tree, and Big Bird gets Lost.
I remember Lefty, I'm slightly worried by the phrase "unloading his junk" though 🙈
uh.....why?
I remember Kingston Livingston III back then and remember hearing that song "Happy to Be Me" in the Around the Corner era!
I liked Herbert Birdsfoot as did my bespeckled Older Brother
It MIGHT be that Lefty was an homage to The Race Tout from the old Jack Benny radio shows from the 40's. Might be worth a listen. Thanks for these look backs!
Over the summer, I worked with our childcare center's toddlers. By the end of the day, it was just me and one little boy. One of his favorite things to do with me was watch vintage Sesame Street clips. The Frazzle was actually one of his favorites. He loved going "BLAAAHBLBLBLAAA" with him.
This video is full of things I didn't realize I had forgotten! Little Bird was my fave featured in this video. BUT Lefty cracks me up, and I remember his "o" song on a s. street record I listened to. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!
9:55 And then he was like, and then he was like what, this, thing. And then he was still like what for real!
Lefty saying shh all the time to Ernie is so funny😂
I loved the monsters. I thought it was great to show people could look different & scary, but be just like us
I wanna see 50 Retired International Sesame Street Muppets.
I laughed at Gordon and Big Bird trying to sing Frazzle's lulaby.
I've just watched a Banjo-Kazooie Did You Know Gaming right before this. I picked up your use of the Click Clock Wood music starting at 12:18 for Little Bird's segment. Good choice!
I loved that you gave that very informative intro in episode 1. It outlined the entire criteria very well. Thank you for making such well researched videos!
im glad they fixed big birds head. it looks like the back half is missing and the beak comes out of nothing
I like how you used the music from Click Clock Wood from Banjo Kazooie during your narration of Little Bird.
Apparently Lloyd Morrisett, co-creator of Sesame Street, died recently. He was 93 years old. He and Jim Henson deserve to rest in peace after what they created, and how it touched the lives of many, many children over the generations.
The “I Am Not A Banana” song sounds really silly.
Harvey was random as hell and he made me laugh really hard.
Don't apologize for creating this wonderful content, you magnificent beast! Subscribed. Looking forward to plenty of long winded intros in the future.
I was born in 2006 and i remember seeing frazzle a few times. Im not sure why maybe i was watching older videos
Yours are some of my all-time favorite series ever on youtube! Really well researched and put together, thank you very much for doing these :) I have a deep dive coming out this coming Monday that digs into and imagines what a new Sesame Street Toy line COULD look like. Dives into what ALMOST was as well with the Palisades line.
I have a feeling you will probably get a kick out of it :) Thanks again for being you, appreciate all the time and dedication you put in
I love that you love the muppets as much as I do.
Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats! Their songs were awesome and so was his voice. Loved singing along. And Lefty the Salesman! Loved that guy! One of the sketches I always looked forward to. "Wouldja like to buy an "O" circular and neat, looks almost like a doughnut, almost good enough eat!" Lol
Ahh, Frazzle, Little Bird and Little Chrissy...
I only largely recall Harvey Kneeslapper, Professor Hastings, Herbert Birdsfoot and Lefty through "The Muppet Alphabet Album," which I had on cassette as a kid.
Right now is November, 21, 2019. Harvey kneeslaper, roosevelt franklin, Don music, Sherlock Hemlock, Captin Vegetable, Kermit The frog, Forgetfull jones, Lefty The Salesman, Little bird, Betty lou, and biff and sully, lella Maria and louis's daughter and miles Gordon and Susan's son also but had their growthsperts have returned in sesame streets 50th anniversary celebration. but betty lou, Little bird had cameos.
You're bringing back a lot of memories for me right now, looking forward to seeing part 4
i like this video a lot
keep up the good work
I often babysit for my nephew, so we often watch The Street together. The new season premiered recently. Little Bird made an appearance via video chat as Big Bird's Cousin who moved to San Francisco. I personally was pleasantly surprised by this.
That's great to hear!
Cool
I know Frazzle from that one "Beat the Time" sketch
Cookie Monster: CHAAAIIN!!!
Can't wait to see part 4!
I loved the little bird books. I had a little bird plushie
I love this!
Little Chrissy’s exit song is my jams!!
