Can you???
'Plaza Sesamo' is a Spanish-speaking version of 'Sesame Street' produced in Mexico (but it also has a large U.S. following). It debuted in 1972.
Although Mister Rogers once criticized the throwing of pies, this comic device wasn't completely absent from 'Sesame Street'. But it always had an educational purpose, like teaching children numbers or the "surprise!" thesis.
Even though human characters were hit by pies in the U.S. version of 'Sesame Street', I don't remember Muppets ever enduring this spectacle. I guess it's something about the pie filling not being good for felt.
However, it seems to be a different story with 'Plaza Sesamo' - where Enrique and Beto filled in for Ernie and Bert:
Like the unembarrassable Number Painter, Enrique is more than happy to spend the rest of the day with a smashed dessert caking his face.
So - just like Ernie always did - Enrique wins!
How's that for an amazing international coincidence?!
