We all know that Cookie Monster loves cookies and that nothing can come between him and them. That is until Sir Ian McKellan was tasked to teach him about the word resist on Sesame Street. At first Gandalf tried to demonstrate the word by trying to get the blue Muppet to resist a golden ring, but that lesson did not get through to him. So he tried it again, this time using a cookie and he got the message loud and clear. Once Cookie Monster was done being schooled, it was finally time for him to give up resisting the cookie and to eat it all up! A well deserved treat for a good student who couldn’t ask for a better teacher!
The thing I love most about Conan O’Brien is he does bits that are so bad, you know he is going to go to hell for them.
His latest one is in honor of Sesame Street’s 45th anniversary, and he had Ernie getting his first colonoscopy. That is awful enough, but the conversation between the TBS late night host and the popular puppet takes it to a whole new level. Especially when they go there. There as in they make a joke in reference to Ernie having something up his bum, you know the one I am talking about. That wisecrack is the funniest thing from this segment, but it is not the worst, I mean best, I mean I don’t know. There are so many emotions after watching that and the biggest one is happiness from laughing so hard!
If that justify my headline, then this other bit from yesterday’s show will. I don’t think this segment about the musical Bears in our Pool needs explanation. It is as ridiculous as you think it is going to be and worse than you can imagine, but it is so brilliant you can’t help but to love it.
It is things like this that make Conan’s show almost too much for me to bear. But then again these gags definitely make my days sunny and keep the clouds away.
Before James Earl Jones was just saying three letters for CNN, he was saying all 26 of them for Sesame Street. How sexy is the bald 37 year old in that 1969 episode?
Fun fact – He was Sesame’s Street’s first celebrity guest start! Happy 45th Birthday to the show that taught us our ABC’s and 123’s.
The normally grumpy (I say that with love) Ice Cube is on Sesame Street and it is astounding. That’s right, the rapper turned actor’s word was astounding and he used magic in order to demonstrate the word to Elmo. The first two tricks are good, but the last one is ASTOUNDING! That’s because Ice Cube turned himself into his own name! You know that he has been wanting to do that for a very long time, almost as long as we have been wanting to see it.
I don’t know what was more astounding about this segment, Ice Cube becoming an ice cube or that is the happiest we’ve ever seen him. I say it is a toss up because both things from him are equally as astounding!!!
Aziz Ansari is going to be on Sesame Street and the kids educational show gave him the perfect word to teach kids. His word is “ridiculous”! I can’t think of a more ridiculous actor to demonstrate that word to Grover, can you? It’s ridiculous how spot on he is for the lesson. And because of that he is ridiculously good in this segment.
Am I being ridiculous or do you think they were ridiculous to give him that word?
