# Another one that I just barely remember had two dudes in it calling each other "old bean." My BFF as a kid and I took to calling each other old bean for a while after that.
This mental image is TEH CUTEST THING EVAR~!!!!!

Mahna Mahna is a great bit!! My brother, sister and I would go around the house singing it, even in college (Kip would start with "Mahna mahna," and Kris and I would break in with "Doo doooo do doo doo!").
I liked the goofy cruelty of the Muppetphones, with the guy bonking the little Tribble-like things on the head to elicit the right tone of "Ooooowwww!!" and had to constantly "Tune up!" and reorganize them when an "ow" was out of order.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
It is pretty funny to think about these two scrawny 7 or 8 year old girls putting on British accents and calling each other old bean!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Particularly if you squinted with one eye and chuckled at each other.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My family always did the Doodlebugs (?) "Let's go for a ride in the family car!"/"the family car!"/"the family car!" routine. We would probably still do it, given the chance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We used to chant "mahna mahna" et al. on our way up to Tae Kwon Do every morning my first year at university.
Someone is playing classical music. Like, audibly. They should stop.
I am definitely excited by the new Cash house, and the burgeoning Robin house. As well as the fixings at GC's. My sister's looking to buy property. I thought I'd come to terms with not ever going to own where I want to live, but it turns out that my sister is the breaking point. ::sulk::

and it's also guaranteed to get any earworm out of your head.

Doodlebugs! I haven't thought of them in probably decades, and their little voices are filling my head now. Nice.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The bit that most stuck with me was the "For What It's Worth" woodland animals being hunted segment.
I can comment intelligently on Sesame around the world. Apart from Canada (and that one is an, "I think". To my knowledge, it's the same, but with French instead of Spanish), the local Sesame is produced in that country, in partnership with Sesame Workshop. Each country has its own cast of muppets, themes, etc, suitable to the lives of the kids in that country (c.f. muppet with AIDS in South Africa). They get some of the inserts (apparently, the Germans love Bert and Ernie), but not the central cast. China got Big Bird (basically) , but that was A Thing, and not normally done. (on the upside, this means they don't have Elmo)
