There isn't a day goes by when one of those old sesame street jingles or songs doesn't just pop into my head at random. I'm 50 now, so it really must have made an impact on me all those years ago!
When I first saw this Sesame Street clip in 1971 (Tasmania) I don't think I've seen the "Baker Series" since about 1973!! Your childhood is the best part of your life. We lived in the best and last generation of kids of this Earth (1970's) and I growing up in a beautiful part of the world back then....TASMANIA! What Wonderful TV Hits Memories (Tassie) (Queensland Australia)
I watched the Jim Henson Idea Man documentary this weekend, and its amazing how I'd forgotten about the falling pastry chef for decades, but I instantly recognized it when they showed one of these clips. And I now realize that's clearly Henson's voice.
Oh my God...I can't stop smiling. I haven't seen this for 35 years. Yet, I've never forgotten it. Classic stuff. Wow, life was simpler at age 8 than it is today, that's for sure....
The 10 wind up toys remind me of the old Duracell battery commercials where all of the toys run out of power except for the toy with the Duracell in it. Ironically, it was this concept that gave birth to the Energizer Bunny that rampaged all over TV commercials in the 1990's.
Oh my god its my favorite chef short. I can clearly remember sitting on the floor in front of the tv as a kid with my fingers crossed as they count the animated numbers at the opening hoping the 3 or the 6 or whatever didn't start streaming toward me before we got to the 10! So happy to see this!
LOL, I remember the one with the coconuts. Also, the lady who said, "Fi-eeve Feengers!" Many of these people were used in the other "Baker Counting Sequences". The girl whose toes were counted at the beginning of this one was the same one in the number two sequence with the butterflies. The "Five Fingers" lady were also in two of the ones currently available on this site. I loved these counting sequences!
OMG, I LOVE that ! I have n't seen that in YEARS! I used to love how they would put the numbers "on" whatever they were counting! That baker at the end is hysterical!
This segment always SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME when I was a kid, to the point that I would have to turn the TV off. The psychotic kids sing-shouting the numbers, the bizarre and scary electronic effects, the weird stop-animation, the staccato music modulating all the time, all capped off by the fucking baker falling down the stairs at the end. It's been 30 years since I've seen this, and all the nightmares are back. Thanks!
Thanks for posting this PiLfan. I loved these skits as a kid. Until I was about 12 I lived in a house where you had to go upstairs to get to the bedrooms and bathroom and I used to stand on the second or third step from the bottom of the stairs with my hands empty and would fall down like the the baker did.
OMG!! I just realized that the opening number sequence's audio was used in the beginning of Panic! at the Disco's song Vega Nights!! OMG FANGIRLING RIGHT NOW!!!
The quit showing these in the late 80s when I was 5 or 6, I'm glad to see them again. Lol, I think that Family Guy promped a lot of us to want to see these again.
Holy crap I haven't seen this in freaking forever! In fact our school books had the numbers in the same font. Funny how I can remember this but not shit that happen last week.
OMG!! At first, I read "baker series", and I thought "baker series?" But when I saw the baker take the pratfall, I nearly lost my mind! It brought back a huge flood of memories. Thank you for posting!
I read somewhere that they stopped doing this because we we're all falling down the stairs like this guy, who was a professional stuntman. I thought it was the funniest shit when I was a kid. I would eagerly wait for that guy to fall down!
Well, this particular taping of it happens to be from a recent one where they brought it out of retirement for a little nostalgia trip, but in the old days, like a lot of Sesame Street clips, it showed up in literally hundreds of different episodes.
I wanna to be that chef when I was younger..Wanting to fall down the stairs with 10 choclate cakes...My Mom must of thought I was nuts Its funny when you watch these as you graduley get older... thinking ´yeah we now how to count..now cut to the chef´.
I heard that the little blonde boy with the bells was Jim Henson's son. And omg, I want that little Ringo looking wind up toy [spacifically #8.. lol], damnit, I want it!!
Over 2 million hits!! because we want see that baker fall with all those cakes... haha I love it still. Vee, 51 yrs old. I saw the début if SS in 1969.😁
Me too!! They even wheeled in a big black and white tv in my kindergarten class to watch sesame street sometimes. All of us 5 year olds were the 1st generation of school kids to have sesame street tested on us. :) What fond memories.

OMG same here. Never knew the voice was Henson.
No no no no no, you great stupid pastry! Come on!

This made me cry every time. ( back in the 70's)
YES!!!!!!
I like these "Baker" skits on the show!Falling down with the cake or pies at the end!!!!!
LOL, I remember the one with the coconuts. Also, the lady who said, "Fi-eeve Feengers!"

I loved these counting sequences!
Her toes were quite nice!
That's the most clumsiest baker Ive ever seen in my entire life.I thought that I was clumsy...lol
OMG, I LOVE that ! I have n't seen that in YEARS! I used to love how they would put the numbers "on" whatever they were counting! That baker at the end is hysterical!
Ohgawd I love this! The memories!!!!
OH Man, what a frickin' flashback, I can't believe we used to watch this, things have changed so much...
PANIC! AT THE DISCO AF

OMFG the piepan falling down the stairs!!! You've resurfaced a memory at least 25 years old. In this hour, you are my god!
ROTFLMAO! When will that baker EVER learn?! Classic comedy, brings back fond memories!
AlbieGray 1234567890
The Chef at the end has always killed me laughing...for 40 years LMAO!!!!!!!!!! :-D
I remember that theme vaguely. And I also remember the baker, too. Poor guy.
Funny looking professor. Nice toys. Funny chef/baker.

Baker:That’s it! I’m getting a bakery in the groin floor
And that's our song of ten!
Agreed on those cakes. It pained me to see that guy drop all that food on the ground. I always did have a sweet tooth.
To quote my old friend Maurice: "Now he has to take a shower!!!!!" LMAO!!!
Featuring Ringo as one of the toys ! FLASHBACK dammit JIM !
I always waited for him to take that spill every time!!!
That's when Sesame Street ROCKED.
The quit showing these in the late 80s when I was 5 or 6, I'm glad to see them again. Lol, I think that Family Guy promped a lot of us to want to see these again.
That falling baker always trips down the stairs
ohhh those were the days
Fun fact:This is the old version from Sesame Street. It only held numbers up to 10 while the new 2019 version, he doesn’t fall. Instead, he makes it.
Is this the difference? Wow… I didn’t knew that happened.
My brother and I used to imitate the baker falling down at the end....
Wow - I remember the intro song with the wacky synth noises. That's going back...I pretty much saw it when it first aired... :)
At least I know Brendon Urie watched Sesame Street
Holy crap I haven't seen this in freaking forever! In fact our school books had the numbers in the same font. Funny how I can remember this but not shit that happen last week.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah, so that's why the "10" doesn't boing at us at the end of the bells segment!!
please, i beg you, anyone who has them, the world demands more baker segments, get 'em up
LOL - the baker at the end -
I remember ''ONE WEDDING CAKE'' and guess where his face ended up ! thanks for posting these, great memories
Man, I used to live for these SS "commercials".
10 BANANA CREAM PIES *insert catfight*
1:25 How did bro drop my Oreo cake💀💀💀
MYYYYY BIRTHAY IS RUINED😭😭😭😭😭😭
OMG!! At first, I read "baker series", and I thought "baker series?" But when I saw the baker take the pratfall, I nearly lost my mind! It brought back a huge flood of memories. Thank you for posting!
Id hate to see Mr. clumsy Baker if they went up to 20..."20 WEDDING CAAAKES!" :-D
Hmmm.....bowling pins seemed to fall by themselves :) I have to say this sketch is one of the earliest ones I can remember. Thanks for posting.
Our favorite cluttz!!
I read somewhere that they stopped doing this because we we're all falling down the stairs like this guy, who was a professional stuntman. I thought it was the funniest shit when I was a kid. I would eagerly wait for that guy to fall down!
My Grandfather had one of the 10 wind up toys it was the one on the far left the bartender it was cool
I loved all those baker sketches, especially how he'd fall and his baking would go splatch all over the place. Who says slapstick comedy is dead?
They need the next following clips
11 Cinnamon Rolls
12 Ice Cream Cones
13 Packets of Pop Tarts
14 Apple Pies
15 Loops of Chocolate
i finally got the family guy reference "TENNN BANANA CREAMMM PIEEEEEES"
I got into big trouble too. Although I kept saying TEN CHOCOLATE LARRY CAKES!
my god I feel old after watching that,and a little depressed!!
TPT stands for Twin Cities Public Television, which operates the KTCA and KTCI stations in St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I totally agree with 'lisvender.' Poor Baker Dude... I always felt sorry for him too.
love sesame street.. while my school was forced to segregate by income and race.. sesame street was diverse. That helped my views when I got older!
allright
Well, this particular taping of it happens to be from a recent one where they brought it out of retirement for a little nostalgia trip, but in the old days, like a lot of Sesame Street clips, it showed up in literally hundreds of different episodes.
YESYESYESYESYES!!!!
first time I've ever heard that one.
The 10 chocolate cakes are among the best "spills" the baker has taken!
And that's the song of 10.
I recall the "9 song" version..the puppet that does the "9 lights" part...its Rolf from the Muppet Show..
LUCKY!! I WANT 11 TOES!
I wonder why sesame street doesn't make bare feet segments anymore!
Those actors like this little girl 0:34 and Gabi had such extravagant feet!
I wanna to be that chef when I was younger..Wanting to fall down the stairs with 10 choclate cakes...My Mom must of thought I was nuts
Its funny when you watch these as you graduley get older... thinking ´yeah we now how to count..now cut to the chef´.
yeah the logo from the Screen Gems "S" used to scare me too. So did the man with the hammer at the end of Dragnet and Adam 12 episodes.
We lived in scary logo times.
@Bonnie2427 Oh wow!!! Thank you so much! I'm going to search in a moment for the doll skit..it was one of my favorites too!
That cant be good for your back every time, man!
The 10 bells replaced 10 little Indians into about the fourth season due to sensitivity on race. I was sad but now I understand.
This would be totally trippy if this were in HD
cool quality
"Ten wind-up toys!"
@jfkx007 absolutely. I share your sentiment 100%.
@jeopardy60611 Funny, when I was watching "Sesame Street" myself, I thought he said "10 Rhino Toys!
10 PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICHES.....AH AH AH AH AH AH!!!
Yes, that WAS Jim Henson...can you imagine having to film falling 10 times for 10 separate numbers?! Poor guy. :P
If anyone's interested the voice of the baker is actually Jim Henson's voice
I always felt sorry for the baker guy at the end. Here he was trying always to carry the cakes and then falling down.
I heard that the little blonde boy with the bells was Jim Henson's son.
And omg, I want that little Ringo looking wind up toy [spacifically #8.. lol], damnit, I want it!!
He says, "10 chocolate layer cakes!"
It's a good thing I don't have epilepsy! :D
It didn't occur to me until today if those flashing lights brought on seizures in kids.
10 choclate layer cakes yummy in my tummy
It's all the baker :-0
you the man, Jim Henson!!!
ROFLMAO!
Odd things with these baker sketches, at least in my opnion. The messier it is, I find the funnier it is.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! the cake
@ndingo lol! good one!
I still sing the countdown tune to this day.
Couldn't get away with the falling down the stairs with cake routine anymore. Health and safety!
Over 2 million hits!! because we want see that baker fall with all those cakes... haha I love it still. Vee, 51 yrs old. I saw the début if SS in 1969.😁

Funny the baker at the end looks like such a kid when you see him now, he always looked so grown up when we were kids!
Feel like going back in time.....i enjoyed every segment of sesame street.....taught me about co-operation
LOL!!!! took me right back to 5 yrs old Watching this!!!
The kids sound like they're shouting/singing - having a blast! Love it!
Me too!! They even wheeled in a big black and white tv in my kindergarten class to watch sesame street sometimes. All of us 5 year olds were the 1st generation of school kids to have sesame street tested on us. :) What fond memories.
The baker falling down the stairs was definitely the climax. My little brother and I anxiously awaited this segment so we could burst out laughing.
