Bad Sesame Street Puns
Nov. 5th, 2004 09:11 amSo, I stopped on Sesame Street. I was channel surfing. Two visitors made fun of Rosita for the way she talks (she's Mexican). She decides she wants to sound like everybody else. The lesson of course, is that we're all different and special. Rosita is special b/c she speaks English and Spanish.
But the bad pun is the obligitory My Fair Lady reference.
A pig comes by, wearing a top hat. His name is Henry Piggins. He says she should repeat after him "The Pig is Big and Did a Wiggly Jig". Of course, a song ensues, in the vein of "I Think She's Got It" (or whatever the name of that number is, it might be, "the Rain in Spain"). Anyway, it doesn't work. Henry had to leave, b/c he's late for a play: Pigmalion.* >everybody groan<
* I know it's spelled with a "y", but I wanted to make the pun obvious.
EDIT: Nora Jones just sang a song about how her friend "Y", the letter of the day was late to meet her: "I Don't know Why, Y didn't come"
OY
