Sesame Street and Muppets

So my brother and I were on youtube all weekend and we were watching clips from our youth.. realizing that the stuff we grew up on actually had a lot of comedy intelligence backing it up. I had totally forgot about the two headed monsters


and also Grover.


My brother and I came to the conclusion that they need to bring back monsters on Sesame Street, they were great. And Elmo's a weak little representation of what true monsters are supposed to be.

Anyway, this is what's been cracking me up:



Then, like whenever I get on youtube and start digressing, I remembered another puppet related clip that always made me laugh. And it was a levi's commercial with a yellow puppet, hella bobbing his head out to the techno music:


His name is Flat Eric, and he was originally from the music video for this song by Mr. Oizo - Flat Beat. Made me want to go search for it online and buy my own Flat Eric, and then I wanted to buy a puppet so I can mess with one on my own and make little shorts.

Anyway, to cut things short, i plan on making my own puppet when I get the time. Much cheaper, and easier for me so I can make exactly what I want. I went to How to Make a Muppet and it seems simple enough. When I get time, here's another project for myself :). In the meantime.. should be goin off to bed now.
