@@MrJoshinJosh I think you really overestimate Henson's influence. Henson was always a liberal guy, and considering how all of his contemporaries in show business have flipped woke, I don't think it's a stretch to say he would have gone the same way.
the moment you guys used 'woke' is the moment your opinion no longer mattered. it's a buzzword that means absolutely nothing. Nothing has changed in the last few decades save the republicans have gotten a fuck ton more vocal about how much they hate everything.
*NO! Is not a cookie! It's something to bip-boop, it's Square and Grey! ...It's a Machine! It's a MACHINE! OF COURSE IT'S A MACHINE I JUST TOLD IT WAS A MACHINE!*
@Gappie Al Kebabi He was making a joke referencing this scene from Sesame Street starring Kermit and Cookie Monster! ruclips.net/video/suQumFI0_xE/видео.html
In the early days of the Muppets, sketches had two endings. Either a character would end up eating another character or a character would end up exploding. This is an example of the latter.
who knew cookie monster would be so involved when eating this high powered explosive device. note how he eats each component as it is discribed by the machine.
Huh, I didn't know the Muppets did this sketch twice. Though from the quality, this might actually predate the show, like a couple of other ones did, and the actual polished version is "The Monster and the Machine" sketch. If in fact this is a prototype of Cookie Monster, then that would make my educated guess an even more solid one.
This particular sketch was performed on the Ed Sullivan Show on October 8, 1967. It first appeared in an IBM training video earlier that same year. Ten years later, it was remade for The Muppet Show's first season with a different monster (now known as Luncheon Counter Monster) eating the machine.
There were times when Cookie Monster used to scare me. I've seen him eat most of a car, a typewriter, a phone, and a pencil. I was always afraid that someone would make him go eating spree and eat people and this was eighteen years before I saw that realized in the original Fullmetal Alchemist with Gluttony. If I saw him back when he had fangs I would've been completely afraid of him as a kid.
I didn't know that this skit was originally done way before even The Muppet Show made its debut. After getting to know the real original version better, I realize that I like this one on The Ed Sullivan Show a lot better than what I originally saw on The Muppet Show. Sullivan's had a not yet Cookie Monster eating the machine and the machine was performed by Jim Henson using his real voice. The one on The Muppet Show way too scary. Cookie is replaced by Luncheon Counter Monster who is definitely way more creepy looking than even The sharp teeth Cookie Monster. To make matters worse, the machine is performed by Jerry Nelson giving the machine a way more scary voice. I wouldn't go near that machine if you payed me One Million Dollars. Especially that it made LCM explode more painfully than the first one did to Cookie Monster. Besides, how can any muppet be scary if its voice is performed by Jim Henson? Especially when he uses his real voice? Still I'm glad that Luncheon Counter tried his very best to destroy that machine as good as he could, but if I were Luncheon, I would never eat the last part of the machine and that is the mouth. The minute that I get to the mouth, I would run away from it immediately while I'm still alive. Let the police, US Navy and fire fighters take care of that.
I admit the redone early sketches on the Mupper Show were never quite as good, they never used the original characters and the performance wasn't as good. Jim Henson REALLY suited this super dreary computer voice because he was inherently mellow sounding, while I LOVE Jerry Nelson in many other roles, he's not quite the same.
That's because the machine was voiced by Jim Henson - who was also the original voice for Ernie on "Sesame Street", as well as the monster who would later become Cookie Monster. As far as I can tell, Henson used his normal speaking voice while recording the voice for the talking machine.
That’s essentially what I did to get a machine I used to work with at a previous job as a cashier. The register I used had a power supply box near my right foot and any time it randomly lost power, I’d kick the side of that box and it worked every time. I was a cashier in a booth at a hospital parking lot. Much to my disappointment they got rid of that one and replaced it with an even older one…. I missed being able to kick it to get it to work again
Machine: In conclusion, blah blah blah, nothing can keep this machine from performing its primary function, which is to be the most powerful exploding device known to man. Monster: OH SHIT!!! BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM Best part in the whole skit.
I am very curious as to what materials the machine the monster consumes was made out of. I suspect a very light card paper making it easy for the puppeteer's hands to break apart.
I remember this sketch when it was in reverse and by that I mean when Cookie Monster was putting together the Analyitcal Computer together by regurgitating the parts he ate.
This was the second of at least three times that the Muppets did this gag. The first was earlier than this, in an IBM training film, and they did this with another monster on the Muppet Show, in the episode with George Burns. I think both are also on RUclips, or at least the IBM one is.
There are two moments where Cookie Monster Sr. gets screwed: 1. The part where he eats the gas hose. Who the fuck thinks it'd be a good idea to screw around with gas deadly enough to kill an elephant? Besides, he doesn't even know the component's purpose. 2. The part where he explodes. Think about it. This Cookie Monster/Oscar the Grouch hybrid just ate an entire machine like a gremlin, with no knowledge of what it actually is, only to find out, once it's in his big stomach, it's apparently the world's most powerful explosive. How would you react if you were him? Sure, you wouldn't have enough time to react because you'd be dead instantly, but what do you think Proto Cookie thought when he found out he consumed, I think, the equivalent to two or three atomic bombs?
The Analytical computer is voiced by the same man who voices Kermit Jim Henson!! They would later remake this exact sketch with Gorgon The Heap Muppet.
I love Cookie Monster as he is now, with his blue fur great big eyes and no teeth, he is always hungry and very funny, much better than Grover for instance.
Let's see the current Cookie Monster do this with the machine, voiced by Peter Linz, Tyler Bunch, John Tartaglia or Steve Whitmire. He can do the original coffee machine sketch with the hair triggered booby trap filled with the most powerful explosives known to man or he can do this sketch in which nothing can keep the machine from performing its primary function; which is to be the most powerful exploding device known to man.
After the machine blew up his teeth, Cookie Monster decided that cookies were much safer, and, tastier
Why is he blue now?
Or eh... How
He took a shower
Norma Berrios - Good question. Oscar the Grouch was originally orange. Why green now? The world may never know. 🤷♂️
Oscar is green because of the mood in the trash can, so technically he is still orange.
I love how this computer speaks more techno-gibberish than an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
I'm disturbed that Cookie Monster was originally able to eat through Titanium.
That's nothing - in a 70's episode of Sesame Street he ate a whole truck
Sandman552 I’m disturbed he has teeth
The early Cookie Monster “wheel stealer” used to eat the snack called “wheels”. Now he eats cookies for a living.
He's still able to do that! Have you seen Christmas Eve on Sesame Street? Or Follow That Bird?
itsjemmabond wait what
2:02 "A mere 2d B's of this gas are enough to kill an elephant."
Puts the gas tube in his mouth.
Well good thing he's a monster and not an elephant then.
Man Cookie Monster was a force to be reckoned with back when he had teeth!!
and Green.
You should see what he did to the Keebler Elves in that Robot Chicken skit...
I DID! It was brutally hilarious!! Cookie did get his 'just desserts' though...
IsitheScrib
IsitheScribe I guess this explains why he has no teeth he chewed on things so much he wore them down to the bone and never grew again
I had a dream someone made an ASMR version of this, the explosion at the end woke me up
This never gets old :)
No it does NOT!
The classics never do, bud.
The only part he chooses not to eat is the cheap part. He knows what's up.
Cookie Monster, Professional bomb defuser :)
But that doesn't stop it from blowing up inside his tummy.
But he died...
The world would be a much better place if Jim Henson were still alive and doing things like this
No argument there. That’s for sure not.
Nah. He'd be woke as hell.
@@mecurian485 How do you know? Maybe there would have been no such thing as woke at all if Henson was still here.
@@MrJoshinJosh I think you really overestimate Henson's influence. Henson was always a liberal guy, and considering how all of his contemporaries in show business have flipped woke, I don't think it's a stretch to say he would have gone the same way.

Watching a computer on a computer. It's like computer-ception or something.
Recursion is fun!
That’s not even what inception means
In the early days of the Muppets, sketches had two endings. Either a character would end up eating another character or a character would end up exploding. This is an example of the latter.
Seems more like both, if you count the computer itself as a character.
Wow! He ate that spherical voltage oblongata like it was a potato chip! I LOVE THIS SKETCH!
"Most powerful exploding device known to man."
That would make it more powerful than Tsar Bomba. Let that sink in.
Something about seeing and hearing this machine get eaten is so gosh darn satisfying.
So funny! Great wordplay. When I go off and write a long parody of something, I always seem to include phrases like the ones here.
I love how contorted and crazy his face gets as he eats something
He literally pushes down on his skull to crush the Spherical Voltage Oblongata with his jaw.
who knew cookie monster would be so involved when eating this high powered explosive device. note how he eats each component as it is discribed by the machine.
This is directly analogous to using a new version of Windows. :)
I'll buy that! :) (But not Windows)
That’s why I changed to Apple
Loved this as a kid...
Always called him Cookie monster's dad...
Statler: Great number Fantastic!
Waldorf: Why do you think that was Great?
Statler: It's so great it's terrible!
Waldorf and Statler: (laughing)
Huh I dont remember ordering a few old fossils
Of course the prototype Cookie Monster was first seen in a commercial for "Wheels, Crowns, and Flutes."
I remember thinking this was so satisfying to watch as a kid
Before there were shredder destruction videos, this disturbed character made such destruction and waste funny!
2:00 Even the Muppets were getting higher after "Light My Fire" came out
Huh, I didn't know the Muppets did this sketch twice.

Thrice, when you include this, the shorter IBM sketch, and the one done by the Muppet Show featuring the "Lunch Counter Monster."
They also did it with a super-advanced coffee machine.
This particular sketch was performed on the Ed Sullivan Show on October 8, 1967. It first appeared in an IBM training video earlier that same year. Ten years later, it was remade for The Muppet Show's first season with a different monster (now known as Luncheon Counter Monster) eating the machine.

Another question answered before it's even asked.
I suspected this sketch was on the Ed Sullivan Show.

@@e-122psi3 Yeah. I know.
Back when he had teeth, was green, and crazier than animal.
This looks like a comedic training video of a military weapon.
Luncheon Counter Monster: I'm about to end this man's whole career!
Cookie Monster: And allow me to start new tasty career!
LCM: Touche.
I like how they built that puppet just for an early Cookie Monster to eat and destroy it
This four minute skit is more entertaining than the entirety of the new Muppet movie.
Both were equally entertaining. 😁
I actually liked that movie
Looks like the Wheel-Stealer's still hungry!
2:22
my favorite part
It is pretty funny when he hits the computer Fonzie style
4:00 It was at this moment, he knew... He messed up.
That's because the machine was voiced by Jim Henson - who was also the original voice for Ernie on "Sesame Street", as well as the monster who would later become Cookie Monster. As far as I can tell, Henson used his normal speaking voice while recording the voice for the talking machine.
This cookie monster looks like Mr munchy from alphabet lane horror game
2:22
Let's pray that this time honored and tested repair technique will still be compatible with future equipment.
That’s essentially what I did to get a machine I used to work with at a previous job as a cashier.

3:19 "Mome Raths" must be a reference to the Jabberwocky, showing us it's complete nonsense.
I love how even with all the tech speak, he manages to locate every component of the unit, when he wants to eat it. Classic.
Machine: In conclusion, blah blah blah, nothing can keep this machine from performing its primary function, which is to be the most powerful exploding device known to man.
Monster: OH SHIT!!!
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM
Best part in the whole skit.
I know right it's at that moment he knew he F***ed up
Cookie Monster’s father, the late Computer Monster.
Omgosh, his voice sounds much different than the Cookie Monster we know today!😮😱🤯
Did anybody notice that both Gandalf and Magneto are name-dropped?
I am very curious as to what materials the machine the monster consumes was made out of. I suspect a very light card paper making it easy for the puppeteer's hands to break apart.
Or thin sheets of styrofoam. That's what was often used on "Sesame Street" for letters and numbers that got eaten.
I remember this sketch when it was in reverse and by that I mean when Cookie Monster was putting together the Analyitcal Computer together by regurgitating the parts he ate.
0:55 I expected this to explode then and there… and then it ended up blowing up in the end.
This video is hilarious! I love cookie monster and the muppets!!! LOL!
This was the second of at least three times that the Muppets did this gag. The first was earlier than this, in an IBM training film, and they did this with another monster on the Muppet Show, in the episode with George Burns. I think both are also on RUclips, or at least the IBM one is.
It doesn't make sense, but it makes perfect nonsense.
...somehow i just got hungry...
I came here from Security Now, with Steve Gibson (ep 610)
Thank you Steve. Just as funny as he said.
Jim's playing Cookie Monster (or actually the "Wheel Stealer" as he was known at the time) here.
Who knew that Cookie Monster worked for IBM?
0:55 makes me laugh and 2:22
cookie monster with teeth is terrifying
4:06 R.I.P cookie monster
He is not dead i think it some how knocked him out
Cookie Monster with teeth. Weird.
There are two moments where Cookie Monster Sr. gets screwed:
1. The part where he eats the gas hose. Who the fuck thinks it'd be a good idea to screw around with gas deadly enough to kill an elephant? Besides, he doesn't even know the component's purpose.

Why didn't the audience laugh as the machine was really falling apart and being eaten? That was really funny!
The 37 cents thing he didn't even bother to eat!
Do you suppose that computer had too many cookies on it?
This is Cookie Monster's Dad
I don't remember cookie monster having teeth.
1:56 - BURP!
Cookie Monster is so cute with fangs and green fur!
The Analytical computer is voiced by the same man who voices Kermit Jim Henson!! They would later remake this exact sketch with Gorgon The Heap Muppet.
Except Gorgon Heap ate a famous chef, and tried to eat Kermit. :D
@@mrz80 No no. Gorgon Heap would eat a computer just like in this sketch.
It's Cookie Monster's grandfather!
The good old days
At 0:54 Proto Cookie Monster sounds different than the voice Jim used in the rest of the video.
Well actually no, the early cookie monster was used as a monster for a snack commercial for whels
the machine on The Muppet Show would have a more robot voice, rather than a normal human voice
Cookie Monster, meet Machine Monster.
I love Cookie Monster as he is now, with his blue fur great big eyes and no teeth, he is always hungry and very funny, much better than Grover for instance.
Did anyone notice the machine at 2:40 when it called it a "gandalf antometer" and later mentioned magneto.
I also caught the term "momewrath" from Alice in Wonderland.
The Cookie Monster was a muppet OMG
The puppets on sesame street are muppets. But yeah everyone knows what you mean.
So the lesson here is to watch what you eat.
There are parts where the mouth moves and no voice comes out and parts where the voice comes out and the mouth doesn't move.
Cookie: Anyone got any Pepto-Bismol?
Hysterical. Thanks for a great laugh
Let's see the current Cookie Monster do this with the machine, voiced by Peter Linz, Tyler Bunch, John Tartaglia or Steve Whitmire.

Just don't give him those teeth he had if they remake this skit
This scared me as a kid
That explains why Cookie Monster lost all his teeth!!!!
Cookie monster with teeth is fucking scary
who else was expecting the machine to yell in agony?
Don't be silly, machines don't feel pain!
So that explains why Cookie Monster has not teeth.
Disgusting! Ever seen eating like that?
Yeah
Where?
Thanksgiving dinner with my in laws!
Scientist Triggger: What You"ve Done with it!

Why does he have teeth. WHY DOES COOKIE MONSTER HAVE TEETH.
Well I don't exactly know the reason why he has teeth but He had teeth when he was the wheels steeler
