Jim Henson rocks


Consider me the driver of the "Jim Henson was a freakin' comic genius" bandwagon.

Courtesy of Johnny Rockstar -- who somehow gets paid to find cool youtube clips -- here are a couple short classic Sesame Street clips that are funny even now.

This one could be entitled "Rachel and Rick on a Sunday afternoon." Guess who is who.

In this one, the Count launches a diabolical plan to count letters. My favorite part are the obvious ad libs as the puppeteers start to have a little fun with the bats.

Animal is one of my favorites. Here he is being interviewed by Kermit about his drums. Animal, btw, not a fan of the pun. This one is Animal vs. Rita Moreno. And finally, Animal gets schooled by Buddy Rich in a drum-off, and is gracious in defeat.
