Sesame Street - Ernie's Ice Cream Cone Video

The classic sketch where Ernie (Jim Henson) has a very special order for the ice cream cone man (Jerry Nelson).

Tell your friends:

drsdino: That salution made sence to me.

DiAnno13: Beneath that gruff exterior, the ice cream man is an old softee.

lovemeg5186: The customer is always right!

DiAnno13: With the chocolate on the bottom, there's a better after-taste.

antsamthompson9: What a tonge-twister.

kungfujiapple: From 1970.

Katzi: Wonder how many takes this took? Somehow I can picture Jim Henson & whoever did the voice of the ice cream man (Jerry Nelson perhaps?) getting the ice cream flavors mixed up! (Great...NOW I'm hungry for ice cream!)

Katzi: VERY funny DiAnno!!!

coffeegirlbelinda: Oooooh . . . me too (make mine chocolate chip cookie dough please) !

josiemonster: This gave we a bigger brain-freeze than the ice-cream would. lol. Great video.

DiAnno13: I'm willing to bet Jim and Jerry had a cue card with the flavors printed on it.

JFD62780: "...So I put the ten flavors in reverse, so sue me!" :P Five Stars, Nanto. :D

amanhart: kids irritating adults with their whims and demands :)~

Katzi: Peanut butter & chocolate for me!:-) (I don't think they had that when this sketch was out)

brianklick: wonder how many takes it took JIm and Jerry to do this without screwing up

d72jjpilc: I think I remember this, if it came out in 1970. I can see right away that this clip reminds me of another Sesame clip - 'Ernie and the Mailman.' It's Ernie trying to 'get to someone' with a big long list of details - in that clip, the alphabet; in this one, a list of flavors! One of Ernie's quirks, I guess, yet that's what I liked about Ernie! Thanks!

updownleftrightinout: I too want a chocolate, strawberry, peach, vanilla, banana, pistachio, peppermint, lemon, orange, butterscotch ice cream cone. I like that he gave it to him upside down. Ha ha. This is great.

OrangeFlaaffy: I remember seeing this in the 80's to and thinking it was brand new :D

d72jjpilc: One side note - since a chocolate, strawberry, peach, vanilla, banana, pistachio, peppermint, lemon, orange, butterscotch ince cream cone probably contains a lot of calories, Ernie - upon consuming it - should have enough energy to write a letter to Mrs. Mary Ann Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz!
