If you get this joke, it's time to schedule that colonoscopy.

    Not only in my memory, he also lives right here on my desk. Nu-ne-nu-ne-nu...

    Photo of my hand holding up an action figure of the Sesame Street typewriter guy in front of my screen showing this very post about him.

    It's from the 1970s so whippits or quaaludes probably.

    I went to high school in a museum. there was an exhibit that showcased generational stuff - Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennial... And that clip played on the Gen X TV with other sesame street/school house rock stuff on repeat. That song is burned into my brain.

    Also "Dooo noooot... bother... thiiiis giiiaaant perrrrson."

    Wow. That was buried deep - and absolutely the last thing I expected to see today. Well done.

    that's probably not true for most people. there are over 30 local versions of sesame street co-produced by the henson company and whatever tv-station in a particular country requested it, with different focus, cast, and stories, but with the same general aesthetic and target audience.

    the swedish one took place in a theater and only got two seasons.

    Sorry, I have no idea what this is. Some kind of sentient wheeled typewriter presumably but it doesn't ring any bells
