With the exciting news of the impending release (10/24) of Sesame Street: Old School, a 3-DVD set featuring episodes and clips from the first 5 seasons of SS, I found it necessary to share my favorite Ernie/Bert sketch of all time below.

There are a ton more clips at foldedspace.org, too!

I continue to bow to all things Henson.

In response to the above unfunny bit of mediocrity, Nick Bailey of Shorefire responded on a mailing list:

“giggle.. hipsters are funny! giggle giggle… I’m making fun of hipsters… but I am one, see, but I’m making fun of myself, so it’s funny… tee hee… check my super hip references, I know what everyone’s talking about, and so do you, we’re all hip together, but even hipper, because we realize how silly it all is, but of course we still do it, but aren’t hipsters

funny… hee

* YAWN *”

I wholeheartedly agree. When will this die, already.

• Ricky Gervais interviews Larry David
• YouTube has a pilot by one of the writers of Scrubs about a reality show about the making of a sitcom. It’s much funnier than it sounds… The WB decided to run with “Twins” instead.
