Feelings...Nothing more than feelings... ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

Since it's Wednesday, it's time to get Sessified!

Because Muppets are mere pieces of felt, they have no feelings. So one may ridicule them without worrying about offending them. Like when we poked fun at Bert because he wanted his soft little blanket.

However, some Muppets think they have feelings. Like the blue, mustachioed Anything Muppet who frequently encounters an incompetent Grover being employed at various service occupations.

Imagine the poor guy's frustration when he finds ol' Groves working as a salesman at a clothing store where he tries to buy a suit. This attempted purchase has hilarious results:



This reminds me of the time I tried to get peppers on my nachos at a festival, and they told me they were out of them - even though they had a whole tub of "display peppers" staring down at them.

The mannequin in this sketch might not have any feelings, but neither does the customer - because he's made of felt!

So why should he be so embarrassed when Grover strips him down to his bra and panties? (Or is that a tutu?)

And how is it that Grover can botch so many jobs and not get fired, while it's impossible for so many competent people to find any work at all these days?
