Alyson Court Explains Infamous "The Big Comfy Couch" Clock Stretch | E! Red Carpet & Award Shows
• Alyson Court Explains ...
/ eredcarpetandawardshows
I hope she realizes she's such an icon for so many of us! I lived on this show daily.
she probably was grossly underpaid
She also voiced Lydia Deetz and Jubilee in the 90s hit shows. Very cool
I can’t lie: I am 32 years old, but Comfy Couch is still a show from my toddler years that I will occasionally go back and watch an episode of, just to relive some of the memories!
I'm 34 and I'm currently rewatching all the episodes with my 3 kids❤ They love it so much too 😊
Btw did you know they changed Lunette on, I believe, season 7. I had no idea! I was shocked and disappointed 😅 the kids didn't mind tho.
I’m 32 also (1991) & same
I’m 14 but same
As a 90's child , lunette was my first love ❤️ clean up and clock stretch was the best
I know! my High school my friends and I dressed up as the charactres. One of my friends dressed like Lunette another Molly and I dressed like Granny. I wish I had a picture.
@@wanupgirlShe left the show and had to quit the business for a while after she became pregnant with her son in 1999.
@@plawson8577 I've seen her on a children's show my daughter watches called Miss Persona. She played an Aunt charactrer.
As a child she made me so happy.
Yes!!!
Now I wanna make her so happy with Child
@@gpl992She was in My Pet Monster, Voiced Veronica Lodge on New Archies, Lydia on Beetlejuice and best of all, Jubilee on X-MEN TAS.
One of my fav childhood shows 😩 I had it on vhs and I watched it on pbs every morning!!!!!
Why don't you watch it anymore? It's on RUclips and it's for all ages
@@AnimalLover-- not really something adults would typically watch lmao
@@makeazy What makes you say that? adults watch it
@@AnimalLover-- bruh come on😂 majority audience is definitely children. never said they cant watch it
@@makeazy first of all bruh is not a word. Second adults watch it and i met lonnette and she said its targeted for all ages
I literally looked forward to my daily routine of watching this show when I was younger. I’m 26 years old now, a mother, and I’ve even got my daughter glued to this show. That clock stretch always used to mesmerize me! I tried so hard to do it back then and never could. 😂
My own daughter always does the exercises with loonette 😆
Lunette as the new grandma character for a younger protagonist would be fantastic!
👏🏼
Married with a clown baby lol
We met her when she did a meet at a local mall. Told her you really can't get enough of all these kids screaming. True to the human inside, she gave an adorable side eye and giggle. Great show!
I am a Japanese university student. I saw the show when I was at Canada during my summer holiday season. It was 19 years ago. I remembered that I love the show.I used to watch the show all the time in the morning 😂❤🎉.
It makes me so emotional to watch her. What she did for children will never be forgotten. Imagine being a teenager and dressing up as a clown at a time when you want to appeal to boys and go on dates. She's definitely a legend.
I saw somewhere online that she described her time on Couch as eventually "oppressive". As of this writing, I found that vid on youtube where this interview was summarized. This is public knowledge.
There's more to this... and that's all I'll say.
Bottom line of it all is that, I feel Alyson is a VERY underappreciated performer of this industry.
Whats wrong with dressing up as a clown? Ya some guys might say no just because of that but alot wouldn't care I loved this show and at 16 dating her wouldn't have bothered me one bit
@@jasonmondelo3748 It's the image and type casting. As a clown, she couldn't be seen drinking, using non kid friendly slang, dressing up like a normal 20 year old who goes for girls night outs occasionally, etc. The image she has to maintain is that she is a children's idol, and thus the parents don't want this adult be anything but a childish big sister whenever she is seen. Don't think it had anything to do with dating or anything like that, but even something as regular as normal dating... that becomes a challenge considering you go to places on dates where the public can see you and recognize you. People be like:
"Hey look, that's Loonette. Loonette's drinking Vodka, smoking cigarettes! Such unhealthy things for someone our kids look up to." While they're smoking and drinking heavy themselves.
There's more to it.
I watched the big comfy couch as a young child, before i shifted over to the video games and played the first resident evil 2 and loved playing Claire Redfield. I was already in my late 20s when i found out that Alyson was both lunette and Claire. Technically this woman was apart of both childhood and Teen years.
NO REAKING WAY!!!
So JUST to set the stage... the voice actress of Cliare Redfield, proposed marriage to a guy called STEVE BURNS and STEVE BURNS torned the voice actress of Claire Redfield down, and the voice actress of Claire Redfield is still getting over it.
If this happened BEFORE Code Veronica, then this would make Code Veronica, the GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME EVER MADE OR EVER WILL BE MADE RFLOL!
Didn't Alyson Court end up marrying Erik Suziki, the voice director of Code Veronica?
So the whole game would then be her REVENGE on Steve Burns... is it a coincidence that the most HATED character in RE is called STEVE BURNS-IDE (burnside) who ended up being turned into a monster with no private parts, and then reverted back to a naked human in the Antarctic cold, and confesses his love for Alyson Court's character with his dying breath?
RFLOL!
just a theory...
The actual Claire story is in actually VERY tragic, and IMO, Code Veronica Claire is her BEST voice acting.
I didn't know she was the voice actress for Lydia in the beetlejuice cartoon
@@matthewp1177 Oh she's been in many things... sadly, most of them involved her acting like a child, or playing a child, or characters who are taking care of a child, or someone who cries like a child.
I listened to a few podcasts that had her on. Something tells me that although the fans like and respect her, the industry doesn't respect her as much as she expected.
I personally feel she has not been allowed to fully show what she can do as a voice actress. If she was given the opportunity, then, IMO, the gap between her, and people like Felicia Day and Laura Bailey wouldn't be as large.
@@TheBengalDragon she’s very happy and proud of her career
@@Tj-qb8nd She's successful, I'll give her that, but she still did not reach her height as a voice actress, and sadly, I don't think she ever will.
IMO, Capcom RUINED her potential as a VG voice actress.
She honestly has been type-cast as a children's programming specialist. a monacre, she has actually shown to grow a resentment to.
No one know what dating gguy is, for which she did some horrible VA work only in 2 episodes. No one knows what "sunny skies" is where she did perhaps the WORST acting of her life. No one know what the Joke Thief is, where the trailer revealed her to be a dark haired bimbo.
Nah, she worked alongside Tara Strong and Laura Bailey, and yet, she's almost an afterthought when it comes to VA work compared to Tara and Laura.
The person I associate the most with Alyson is claire Redfield. this is because Claire is THE MOST COMPLEX character Alyson ever portrayed, who is well known. That's a good and a bad thing.
The good thing is that THE MOST UNIQUE AND MISUNDERSTOOD (even Alyson has shown not to understand her) character in Resident Evil Original cast was claire, and Alyson (for the most part) nailed it, (except in DSC, where Alyson didn't even try to act).
The bad thing is, Claire is not that complex a character. We're not talking about The Boss from MGS3, or Freya from GOW, or Marlene from TLOU, we're talking about Claire, someone significantly less complex, and that's the zenith of Alyson's character portreyal?
As for her being happy... look, I heard some of her interviews... Alyson does not seem like a loose party girl like Miley Cyrus or Lindsey Lohan or Maddonna when she was young. Like Dave chappelel said, "this industry is a MONSTER!"
I think alyson is happy with her life, because I feel she kept this monster from consuming her, yet find a career to provide for her and her son.
Still, I would REALLY love to speak to her for a few moments for some things that could've been. I STILL feel she has much to offer as a VA, but NOT as child or childish character, but as a villain.
Big Comfy Couch was my favorite show as a little kid. I got so excited every time it came on
Yes!!!!, me tooo !! It had me feel happy & safe !!! 😊😊❤
I love knowing that timeless classic Lunette doubles as badass Claire Redfield Resident Evil 2 and Code Veronica. She is Canadian Royalty.
Lydia and Jubilee!!
Something that you might not know is that Ernie Coombs (Mr. Dressup) was actually the late Fred Rogers' (aka "Mister Rogers") understudy. Fred actually had a show in Toronto for a few years during the early to mid-'60s called 'Misterogers' (with only one "r"). The show was a hit. However, Fred and his wife Joanne wanted to raise their two sons in the United States (where they were from). The CBC didn't want Fred to leave, but he suggested that they build a show around Ernie Coombs, which they did. From what I understand, the show actually had similar elements to 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood'.
I'll never forget you Claire Redfield
When she talks, I always listen to Claire speaking in my mind 😂
Nobody cares. Were not even here for that
@@detetivelukeYou can hear Jubilee, just more mature sounding.
This and Blues Clues with Steve is nostalgic overload
Funny that you say that ironically she works on the blues clues reboot and there is a picture of her and Steve on Instagram
Alyson Court helped provide several great moments in my childhood.
I was born in 1992 and grew up watching this show when I lived in Colombia. Once my daughter was around 3 years old I remembered The Big Comfy Couch. As a mom in the 21st century I was very particular of what my daughter watched. She is now almost 7 years old and still enjoys watching The Big Comfy Couch. 😊
This show was a huge part of my childhood. I was diagnosed with a neurological condition the year it came it and I was a very small child back then. The tone and the world of Big Comfy Couch had a very therapeutic effect on me when so much about my life felt overwhelming. That clock stretch is iconic to me because it's why I understand how to tell and comprehend time. So comforting and wonderful to hear Lunette's voice as an adult :)
Even as an adult I still watch the big comfy couch. And it still makes me laugh
Me too! It's like an ASMR video...
On Tubi?
I used to do the clock stretches with her. It was my favorite part of the show.
happy 30th anniversary big comfy couch
I grew up with the show and adored it now I have my 2 year old niece watching it and she is just as enthralled.
I showed my niece after reading this. She actually talks to me now! Props papi!
The big comfy couch was my number 1 favorite show as a small kid. I remember when the episode would end I get up, give Mom the remote and say "your turn, the clown lady and her dolly are gone," and go play with my toys
Loonette and Molly will forever hold a special place in my heart
Big Comfy couch is one of the best kids shows! Even our parents found it funny and not annoying at all. Me and My younger sister always did the clock rug stretch along with Lunett. And mann I can't say how great that show is.
Lunette - thank you so much for your efforts on The big comfy couch. You are right along side Mr dress up, Neil from art attack and Sharon Lois and bran in my head. Thank you for being a childhood icon for me!
Also, right alongside Barney and Friends!!!
Best show from childhood 😍
adulthood too
Amen
I agree ally
She’s also the original voice of Claire Redfield for resident evil 2 1998, and let’s not forget Jubilee from the 90s X-Men cartoon
30 Years Since The Big Comfy Couch Was Aired in 1992
Why you gotta do that to me man. I think I just felt 5 hairs turn grey. >.
@@SingeScorcher 😂😂
They should have included a live performance at the SkyDome for the 30th anniversary spectacular
@@alexanderip1003She was featured for 7 years and also voiced Jubilee on X-Men during the time. She hails from Toronto.
Between big comfy couch, X-men as Jubilee, and Lydia from the Beetlejuice cartoon, Alyson was a big part of the first 8 years of my childhood! 🥹
She was also in My Pet Monster!
Man this is nostalgic it's becasue of this show that made Alyson Court one of my top 3 favorite actresses and made me appreciate and respect clowns more the fun silly kind not to scary evil kind of course 🤣🤟, plus I'd love to see a reboot 😁🙏
you should see her reprise her role on this hour has 22 minutes.
Well, if you think about it, having a pie thrown in your face could kill you. You could choke.
Love her. I didn’t even like her show but between this and Claire Redfield, she is such a big part of my childhood.
One of my favorite childhood shows. Thank you for being such a huge part of my childhood!m
Playing the original Resident Evil 2 & completed it several times over & hearing the characters voice ingrained into memory & to finally put a face to the voice, you love Alyson regardless.
If I could say to her, where do you think that Capcom may of got inspiration from with the dialogue?
Example -
The scene where Claire enters the diner & her dialogue, "Hellooo? Is anybody here?"
Compare the scene to Buffy the vampire slayer season 1 episode 1 where Buffy's first encounter with Giles. The sound of the opening door, the exact dialogue, the same mysterious entering of the scene, & that predates the scene from Resident Evil 2.
You helped me escape my wild wild west-hood childhood, &Become a triple platinum singer-songwriter, Iconic, Thank you!🥇
5yo me had a crush on Lunette 😂 it was an amazing show and it brings back so many fond memories when I watch the videos. Nowadays I miss good TV shows like this one for my baby boy.
this brings back a lot of nostalgia. even though i was born in 2003, i have fond memories of this show
Funny how this was a Canadian tv series from the 90s and I’m very much American and was born in 2010s and loved this show
A lot of Canadian TV was popular in the US (though, clearly, not as much as the reverse direction). You Cant Do That On Television, Big Comfy Couch, Mr Dressup, SCTV, Trailer Park Boys.. The list goes on.
@@samurphyShe’s a year older than Alanis Morrisette. Both were featured on YCDTOTV.
Omg you are so beautiful Alyson Court
I remember an episode where she would be pulling random stuff from inside the couch lol😅
Dust bunnies creeped me out but the clock stretch eased my jimmies. Lol
😂 same
She looks great ! I knew she was either young as heck or a whole vampire lol
The other night a friend of mine mentioned how wild her niece was sleeping, "Like the hands of a clock!" and immediately I remembered the clock stretch. I haven't thought of this show in yearsssss. Now I'll be rewatching episodes in my 30s. The nostalgia hits hard. 90s were such a great time! ❤
THIS IS CLAIRE
My older cousin was addicted to the Big Comfy Couch! She had VHS tapes that she would watch religiously at 3/4 years old back in the 90’s. I have a soft spot for the Big Comfy Couch because of my cousin and I lived together in the 90’s and those VHS tapes bring back childhood memories as early 90’s babies!
Yes, my grandkids ALL LOVE HER!!❤ ( so did I she’s so Adorable)
I loved this show !!! GIRL U WAS AWESOME
-
PBS KIDS ROCK!!!
BCC was one of my all time favorite shows as a kid! I've followed Alyson on social media for years!
I think I watched this when I was little! Definitely watched Grojband..I love Alyson 👑♥️
Such a huge fan of the show! Big part of my childhood!!
She made my childhood so happy❤
The fact it was so wholesome and actually taught physical skills knowledge skills and more.
God please allow this reboot to happen. I would be forever grateful!!!!😆😁
Nah somehow today’s world version would mess it up
Great show, those stretches are great for the hips and hamstrings/glutes 💪🏼
I 🥲🥲🥲literally started crying almost because it brings me back to my childhood like OMG I missed you so much. Hi Molly. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I had a massive crush on her when i was 10. I always thought she was biracial! Didn’t know she was white all this time
I had a crush on her character loonette I still do
You know the old lady from Mama's family, I think vicki Lawrence? I thought she was African 🤣🤣🤣
i used to have a crush on that one clown on the unicycle 😭😭
one of my favorite shows back in the day.
Shes a big part of my childhood, like mr dressup. thank you Alyson Court for happy memories
I remember watching this when I was a kid in the 90s and nostalgia really hits hard when she put on the wig and that red clown nose and she was missing 1 thing Molly but man the good old memories 😢 😊.
How are you gonna leave us hanging like that?! I wanna know if that rumor was true! 😂 I literally was thinking about the clock stretch and the theme song and then I came across this interview. I loved this show as a kid!
i loved watching alyson as a child. my siblings did too!
Love her so much I had a crush on her back in the day
I first started watching this as a preteen and I loved it!
This holds such a special place in my heart. Nostalgia fills me as I reflect on the joyous memories of my childhood. This show will forever remain a treasured part of my youth, a symbol of that magical era. If only I could turn back time and relive those precious moments.🥹🥹💙💙
I love this show so much, my sister got me a tshirt with loonette holding molly on it for my 25th birthday after I mentioned a mug i had wanted to get (also with the characters on it) had shipping that cost more than the mug
I loved the 10 second tidy and I can still watch it on RUclips❤
I watched this when I was a kid and now Im doing the clock stretch with my 3 year old 30 years later 🫶🏻
Lol. That's why you got that 3 year old. 😂😂😂
Keep it up you might end up with twins next. 😂
The awesome part she’s also the voice of Claire Redfield from Resident Evil 2.
This woman... literally raised me. What an icon.
I ❤ THIS SHOW AS A KID🎉❤
Ahh the memories!
Alyson Court is the image of Claire Redfield in her 50s
My toddler LOVES this show
I loved watching this tv show one of my favorites and I turned it on yesterday with my 2year old kitten and she was fascinated I think my kitten Nola’s favorite part is probably the dust bunnies because she went straight to the tv and was intrigued by the dust bunnies.
I guess when Nola wants to snuggle with me I’m turning her favorite show on.
It's my first time my daughter is watching this show and she loves it. She's trying to do the clock right now.
I could not live without this cartoon i was born in the early 2000s but i still used to watch this cartoon this brings back so many i live in south korea but my mother languge is english so i can say and watch and read english ❤
U will be remembered as My Re2 claire for all time
TBCC was one of my favorite children's shows.
I used to do the Clock Stretch with Loonette, and I always enjoyed her visits with Granny Garbanzo and Major Bedhead.
I always admired the Dust Bunnies and that doll house was all right.
We can't forget Auntie Macassar!
I love Alyson! She did a great job in her career!
Also, I didn't know she met Steve Burns.
One of my favorite childhood shows , along with blues clues & mighty machines 😊
This is the only way I cleaned my room when I was 5 years old. I made my mom buy me a foldable couch and I’d stuff toys in it and would imitate her 😂
Awesome!!! 😊😊
Loved the Big Coffey couch on tv I think I watched the reruns on PBS kid's
Her show was fire
Omg Big Comfy Couch was my jam 😂😂😂
My favorite show when I was a kid I loved the clock stretch
& the dust bunnies 😅😍
She's going to be 50 next year. That is insane.
She still looks so good!
This show came out in the early 90's when I was a kid I even had a clock rug and would do the clock routine she did
The animated Lydia deetz.....🥺
I am a 2008 child younger than most kids whatched this and I used to watch this everyday on our the old rusty computer and I always tried to do the clock stretch but I failed countless times Im not very stretchy :")
My daughter is watching it as we speak.. 😅😅. You are a icon my dear
I used to love watching big comfy couch! Lol I'm feeling so old now
Alyson Court was also the voice actress of Nora in "Timothy Goes to School", you know.
Happy 30th Loonette!
I loved this interview!The big comfy couch was one of my fav obscure shows as a kid 😊
My grandkids are obsessed with Big Comfy Couch. It's on U Tube
😍😍😍😍 still looks amazing
She’s Jubilee from X-men too
Love this!! So cool. Decided to check this out as my kids watching haha 30 years later
The ironic moment in your 30s when you realize the clock stretch is the best one in the world. So amazing!! Haha
