HAHAJA!JAJAJA! The sound of the sixties! Very very 60s to very early 70s vibes. A time when there was no internet, no cable tv, no virtual reality games, women were more conservative, hospitals were scarier, stricter school policies with teachers more physical in pupil discipline, longer class hours in school even in grade school, factory air conditioning was not yet available to many cars, etc. My childhood. ( I was born in 1971) Those were the days. Kids of today are very fortunate. I too was an avid fan of Sesame Street and I clearly remember this baker numbers clip.
I was born in 1978 and grew up in the 80s and they still showed all these bits. So for me it’s early 80s memories. Good stuff either way. You grew up in a good time and so did I, still before most of the things you mentioned.
thanks! gosh havent seen these in almost 30 years...damn im old! 40!! where did the time go? i was always sad when he the baker didnt make it...almost cried! but today it brought back a bit of tears to releive my childhood..thanks again for posting!
Me too. One of my favourite sesame st. clips. I was born in 1971. The new baker remake versions is ok but it did not have as much impact to me as the original 70s one. It was without doubt the best of them all. Brings around the full vibes of the 60s to early 70s. You can actually feel it here. It’s like being catapulted back in time.
This is so cool! I have seen all of them except for Baker #2 and Baker #1. I have never seen the one Baker #1 before. They showed the Baker #10 one on the anniversary special.
To anyone who reads this I found out from the Jim Henson Company in New York what the exact items were on Baker Number One of sesame street.They were; 1.One Penny 2.One Eye 3.One Wind Up Toy 4.One Cow 5.One Belly Button 6.Baker with One Wedding Cake
I remember this somewhat well (I like the way the guy says 'Two hats!'). However, like others here have mentioned, Baker #1 has yet to be found. I remember seeing it once during the 1970's, but that was it (I just remember the cow and wedding cake).
I believe the guy who opens the door is actor, Joe Ponazecki. He use to do a skit w/ some other guy where he played Wally. It was a skit similar to Buddy and Jim
Looking at this video brings tears to my eyes because it brings back memories of my childhood it also lets me know how to appreciate my youth even though I'm older now
Henson did Kermit, Ernie, Guy Smiley, Rowlf, The Bakers voice, and was the juggler in the opening of three. Oz was Bert, Grover, Cookie Monster, and Harvey Kneeslapper(the jokester) Carol Spiney Did Big Bird and Oscar.
It had to do with with some ridiculous complaints of stereotyping despite keeping the scene of the monster breaking the window in five for so long and no one complaining about that until the late eighties. I've finally got to see the original and the soundtrack is much better than the flat soundtrack on the revised version.
Even as a child never understood why he was storing the turtles underneath the floor. My younger brother always used to ask whether he was punishing them since they had no food or water.
Joe Ponazecki is that guy. He also opens the other animal-containing doors (one cow, 3 crocodiles, 4 fish, 5 frogs, 6 cats, 7 spooky spiders, and 8 puppies). Joe also performed with Bill Price in the Wally and Ralph skits.
I have some more interesting information regarding baker number one and baker number ten.Baker number one appeared on sesame street episodes 86,116 of first season,196 of second season and 547 of fifth season.Also the original baker number ten did not have a kid showing ten bells instead it had a kid showing ten little wooden indians.This clip is also rare.Keep your eyes peeled for either on e of these.
I have STILL not seen baker #1, and it looks like it will be extraordinarily impossible to find. I don't think we'll ever see it. In my lifetime I've only seen #3-#10, but I'm posting on a #2 skit. I don't think it'll ever be found. In the words of Three Dog Night, "1" is the lonliest number.
Don't know, but the voice of the baker is dubbed in and is muppet creator Jim Henson, {the voice of Kerrmit, burt, } and the guy that opens the secret doors is his partner Frank Oz {bigbird, cookie monster, ernie, grover}.
The baker is actually a stunt man named Alex Stevens. The voice you hear is indeed Ernie's, as well as Kermit The Frog's and many others, the one and only Jim Henson!
Yeah I know what u mean. My and my friend swould always get what number it would stop on. I kinda did feel sorry for the baker. And you know that stuff was shot on film. Ahh memories (sigh) I'm 38. Where did the time go?.
The nail biting anticipation to guess what number it was going to be and the joy of watching a guy fall down the stairs with pies. A generation of kids who like to gamble and dig schadenfreude...or is that just me?
I can also remember being disappointed,after learning the number of the day was either 11 or 12, because I knew just what that would spell-no baker film(since,of,course,the number of the day only went as high as 10,when the show premiered.) Two baker films were featured in the premiere episode, the 2 and 3 films.
MrJamieMurph4141969 Truly. On another note abut 2 weeks ago I saw a man coming out of a local pastry shop carrying too many boxes - and at least one large cake in a poorly constructed box(presumably for a graduation party)...yep you guessed it! Part of me was like OMG that poor guy, stupid for carrying all of that stuff and not making 2 trips, but still felt bad. The other part, my inner 5 year old was flashing back to the Sesame St. Baker sequence. It never gets old. :-)
And it's so funny when the guy says 2 hats so fast! Ha Ha Ha Ha! An my sister would always say twats (just 'cause it's so funny! Ha Ha Ha Ha!) Ha Ha Ha Ha!
I want to talk about the color patterns when the number goes crazy. It flashes colorfully. Each number had a dazzling 3-color pattern when it flashed towards the screen. This is all I've seen: 1 - unknown (haven't seen it) 2 - green, blue, red. 3 - red, blue, green. 4 - blue, red, green. 5 - red, green, blue. 6 - green, blue, pink, with red and yellow background. 7 - blue, red, green. 8 - green, blue, red. 9 - green, blue, pink, with red and yellow background. 10 - blue, red, green.
#1? Man! That would be fun. That idiot of a baker tried to carry "one wedding cake" down the stairs... and STILL, he hurts himself... well, not only himself, but the "bride-and-groom" as well. You have one baker plus the bride-and-groom, and um, "We have three injured people. Requesting a wrecker and an ambulance." lol. Learned that from a game.
Schizophrenia has nothing to do with Multiple Personality Disorder. And I doubt the two-headed picture would be considered offensive to either. But what was considered offensive was the baker falling down the stairs--being inconsiderate to those suffering injury, and being considered male-centric in its slapstick humor. I don't agree, but such was the complaint leveled at the segement.
I have some updated information regarding Baker Number One.There was never a One Eye item on Baker number One,Rather there was a little girl showing One Bird.
The picture of the man with two heads that the little boy drew? Unfortunately, several seasons later on, a creepy puppet with two heads thanks to Richard and Jerry would accidentally be created by Mid Season Nine to Permanently. Why Jim let them talk him into creating that poor excuse for a monster? I have no idea.
I remember the two headed puppet monster,and yes,you're right,it was in the late 1970s when it made its debut,not long before I stopped watching Sesame Street.
Probably because that eventually you grew up to become a more mature adult than I am. I couldn't outgrow nor even stop watching Sesame Street when I was even a teenager. It was too adictive to me. I really am glad that you stopped watching Sesame Street before The Two Headed Monster made its debut. Not to mention being stronger and more of adult because I don't anybody to ever be in my shoes and let something painful in their lives get the absolute best of them.

U have a question for anyone who reads this.On baker number one I recall seeing the baker with one wedding cake and one penny,one cow,and one bellybutton,however I do not remember what the other two oneitems were.Does anyone know?it might be one hand and one parakeet.I am not sure.
Probably because the baker only had two pies,and since pies are pretty small,compared to root beer floats,or wedding cakes(as seen in the rare baker 1 film),is why the bakery does not end up nearly as messy at the end,after the baker falls.
I dig that, but I guess was kind of disappointed he didn't wind up with one of those pies in his face, because any kind of cream pie is guaranteed to be in someone's face when it comes to comedic pratfalls. Oh well.
Hi.I remember on Baker number one there was also a kid showing one penny and another kid showing one belly button.If anyone ever finds this ,that would be great to see on TH-cam.I will keep searchingalso.

2 Ice cream cones
2 Turtles
2 Heads
2 Hats
2 Butterflies
2 Chocolate Cream Pies
#1 must be the Holy Grail of all Sesame Street clips.
Actually "One wedding cake" is on TH-cam!
Saw part of that on Nighline. So the mystery's been solved! 1 penny, 1 cow, 1 bird (Little Bird), 1 wind-up toy & 1 wedding cake.
Thanks so much for putting these up!!! Gad, I miss the Sixties.
thanks! gosh havent seen these in almost 30 years...damn im old! 40!! where did the time go? i was always sad when he the baker didnt make it...almost cried! but today it brought back a bit of tears to releive my childhood..thanks again for posting!
All we need is the baker sketch for 1 and then the series will be complete.
"'B' is for 'Baker' who fell down the stairs..." -Edward Gory
I always liked the way the guys say “two turtles :)” and “two hats!” 😆
I used to get all excited when this came on!
I love retro classic Sesame Street

Let that be a lesson, Jim. Never put two chocolate cream pies in one hand.

When the baker scratches his head it's so funny and he's like: Hmmmm.... How could I fall carrying 2 Chocolate Cream Pies? Ha Ha! very funny!

Baker number 6
You know something I you right about that...I was not sure at first. Thank you
A small piece o f this clip was in Won't You Be My Neighbor.
Looking at this video brings tears to my eyes because it brings back memories of my childhood it also lets me know how to appreciate my youth even though I'm older now
6 is my favorite
Henson did Kermit, Ernie, Guy Smiley, Rowlf, The Bakers voice, and was the juggler in the opening of three.
Oz was Bert, Grover, Cookie Monster, and Harvey Kneeslapper(the jokester)
Carol Spiney Did Big Bird and Oscar.
This was taken from the pilot before the series premiere.
That's a great idea.
Since someone posted the original version of 10, 1 is the only ONE left.
It had to do with with some ridiculous complaints of stereotyping despite keeping the scene of the monster breaking the window in five for so long and no one complaining about that until the late eighties. I've finally got to see the original and the soundtrack is much better than the flat soundtrack on the revised version.

How the baker gonna look back at the steps like they musta changed or sumtnin LOOL
Don't know, but the voice of the baker is dubbed in and is muppet creator Jim Henson, {the voice of Kerrmit, burt, } and the guy that opens the secret doors is his partner Frank Oz {bigbird, cookie monster, ernie, grover}.
The baker is actually a stunt man named Alex Stevens. The voice you hear is indeed Ernie's, as well as Kermit The Frog's and many others, the one and only Jim Henson!
That dogged me for decades. I thought that person sounded like Henson, but the lack of scruffiness confounded me.
I wonder if "2 turtles" was a reference or tribute to Jim Henson's (and my) alma mater, the University of Maryland? FEAR THE TURTLE!!! GO TERPS!
Yeah I know what u mean. My and my friend swould always get what number it would stop on. I kinda did feel sorry for the baker. And you know that stuff was shot on film. Ahh memories (sigh)

And it's so funny when the guy says 2 hats so fast! Ha Ha Ha Ha! An my sister would always say twats (just 'cause it's so funny! Ha Ha Ha Ha!) Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Kind of reminds me of the Chevy Chase SNL falls.
2 hats! LOL

10 - blue, red, green.
Don't forget Yoda.
Yes they have! Search youtube for Sesame Street Baker (Alex Stevens) 1 through 10 falls.
That's is funny 😂
#1? Man! That would be fun. That idiot of a baker tried to carry "one wedding cake" down the stairs... and STILL, he hurts himself... well, not only himself, but the "bride-and-groom" as well. You have one baker plus the bride-and-groom, and um, "We have three injured people. Requesting a wrecker and an ambulance." lol. Learned that from a game.
Happy Two’s-Day!

Where's Baker #1 are you going to upload it!
You wouldn't think the baker would have trouble carrying those 2 items would you?
For those looking for #1,try asking Sawing14s,he might have it.
Apparantly the baker was the same guy that did the voice of Ernie. Or at least he sounds like him.
Schizophrenia has nothing to do with Multiple Personality Disorder. And I doubt the two-headed picture would be considered offensive to either. But what was considered offensive was the baker falling down the stairs--being inconsiderate to those suffering injury, and being considered male-centric in its slapstick humor. I don't agree, but such was the complaint leveled at the segement.
@emanuele115
Actually Ernie is Jim Henson, Bert is Frank Oz, and Big Bird is Carroll Spinney.
@conradragzoff The guy opening the lid...?
The girl showing two butterflies - Isn't she the same girl whose toes were counted in the "Baker #10" clip?
I have some updated information regarding Baker Number One.There was never a One Eye item on Baker number One,Rather there was a little girl showing One Bird.
I always felt so bad for the baker.
Who was that guy who opened the "turtle" door?
~Ra'akone
I thought that was the worst of his falls.
No, that is not Nancy Kulp.

+ Dream Dancer 82 that is because there were small and that it was the cleanest Spills of all
