If you get this joke, it's time to schedule that colonoscopy.

No you can't make me! I'm not old!! OK time to go sit down, my lower back hurts already..

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Got the reference and already had my second one last year!

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

If you are American perhaps. Most other people have no idea what this is.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago

I do, and I already have the referral...

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It's already scheduled. 😥

That hit me like an activation phrase.

Man, were psychedelics in the water supply back then?

[–] db2@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's from the 1970s so whippits or quaaludes probably.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Recently, there was a video going around with a similar style animation made for the American Bicentennial in 1976. It was either made by some of the same people, or both teams were on the same drugs.

At 0:36 they distinctly say "6-7"

.... Teaching middle schoolers has affected me more than I'd like to admit.

Gen alpha slang is fire, fr

Awoke the sleeper agent.

I went to high school in a museum. there was an exhibit that showcased generational stuff - Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennial... And that clip played on the Gen X TV with other sesame street/school house rock stuff on repeat. That song is burned into my brain.

Also "Dooo noooot... bother... thiiiis giiiaaant perrrrson."

Not only in my memory, he also lives right here on my desk. Nu-ne-nu-ne-nu...

Photo of my hand holding up an action figure of the Sesame Street typewriter guy in front of my screen showing this very post about him.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Whoa, that's incredible! Was this sold at some point or did you 3d-print it?

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

It's a real product. This one was a gift from my spouse, who knows me and my foundational embedded pop-culture bullshit well.

[–] lepthesr@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wow. That was buried deep - and absolutely the last thing I expected to see today. Well done.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Wait...

YES

[–] lime@feddit.nu 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

that's probably not true for most people. there are over 30 local versions of sesame street co-produced by the henson company and whatever tv-station in a particular country requested it, with different focus, cast, and stories, but with the same general aesthetic and target audience.

the swedish one took place in a theater and only got two seasons.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Dutch/British at the time, I've never seen this in my life.

Nu na nu nu...

[–] codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

Looks like a School House Rock minor character.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Sorry, I have no idea what this is. Some kind of sentient wheeled typewriter presumably but it doesn't ring any bells

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

but it doesn't ring any bells

It rings one when it reaches the end of the carriage.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Oh no, I'm TOO old to recognize a meme for old people.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

…And now I can hear him.
