Love that "exclamation point" sound effect! (0:38) Sounds like someone holding down one end of a wooden ruler on a table, and flicking on the other end.
I love this! I just wish he wouldn't say, "see THEM words". My country kiddos have a hard enough time already and they don't need anybody reinforcing their habit. :P
Wonderful skit & aimed toward kids too, these days some idiot helicopter mom would vlaim it is " violent& bad" & ban it. I grew up watching this cool show
I could never make any sense out of that last sentence whenever I'd hear someone on here use that line because it always sounded like; "the dummy right in the show".
@GSNLiveFree4All89 "Yes, it was, so was that." It is really amazing how many of today's generation don't follow the punctuation rules, or fail to even speak proper english!
Just a convention. Old English were full of "double negative". It's called negative concord or emphatic negation. Also in English you can use "double negatives" to affirm a positive meaning what is called litotes. Perfectly correct and normal English.
If there were ever to be a PBS RETRO channel,this should be a part of the lineup along with other classics.
I agree. That would be really awesome!
I just love this skit!! they remind me of Abbott and Costello!!
I remember these two! The clotheslining, I'm dying. God this pulls memories from so deep in my head!

Madelaine Smith If you were a New York actor doing a TV show then,it would be useful then.
The Electric Company was our Laugh-In
Thanks. I needed this for my kindergarteners.
yeslord yourwill I believe this is a great tool for grammar usage.Too many people nowadays use a lot of double negatives.Makes me cringe with disgust.
where can I download the sfx for these punctuation marks?
NET (National Educational Television) was the original name for PBS until 1968.
The PBS station in New York City is WNET.
NET was changed to PBS in Oct.1970.

"Who's the dummy writing this show" was first used by Mel Brooks as the voice of the Yellow Haired Man on EC.

What really makes me upset is when people use double-negatives! Don't got nothing,for example.Poor grammar.
