* During the "Big Bird in Japan" direct-to-video special, Big Bird's dog friend Barkley wanders alone into a Buddhist Temple, leading to a montage of several close-up shots of statues of grotesque Buddhist demons. The darkness of the temple, not to mention the frightening musical stings accompanied by the sound of ''Barkley's terrified whimpers'', do NOT help things.

Moving Fridge Horror to the Fridge page and my personal phobia that I don't even really have now; it's more of a pet peeve now.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAV71UHWSXM Another]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wblWacel_9g sketch]] from 1975 has the Count sleeping over at Ernie and Bert's place, and keeping Ernie awake by counting sheep. In the morning, an extremely haggard, zombie-like Ernie emerges, in a daze and also counting, implying that the Count had used his power on him. ("Forty-three thousand...eight hundred and ninety-one...forty-three thousand...eight-hundred and ninety-two...") Though the way Ernie randomly interjects "Sheep." in the same dazed monotone when Bert tries to get his attention might be funny enough to be NightmareRetardant.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS5SWByK0Uk King Minus]] was a play on the story of King Midas, but instead of turning everything to gold, everything he touched disappeared. It ends with him accidentally [[WhatTheHellHero making the princess he was trying to rescue vanish,]] then [[DrivenToSuicide ultimately making himself vanish]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC_X5ruZ9k4 While this skit]] mostly averts this, the song "You've Gotta Be Patient to Be a Patient" can be this for active viewers. It basically says "It's necessary to lie around with nothing to do" in a cheery voice.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK73DM4yOwc This episode]] where Natasha and Slimy are having a play date, for the most part, is pretty tame up until Gordon with the finger puppet of Slimy is in front of Natasha teaching her how to be gentle with Slimy it's going well until Natasha bites Gordon's finger and spits out the Slimy puppet! To which Oscar rightfully tells everyone that he's not going to let Natasha near Slimy because she might bite Slimy as well! It was a good thing that it was the puppet of Slimy or otherwise Oscar would've seen Natasha bite Slimy for real and Slimy would've been dead for sure! Even though it isn't meant to be scary it's still scary to think what would've happened if Natasha bit Slimy for real! It's at 10:04 for anyone who's curious.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-Xs9JrVx6A Don't Cross The Street Alone]] is a ''very'' good way to teach kids not to cross the street by themselves. This skit has a scary voice-over warning the viewers to never cross the street alone. When the light turns red, many creepy-looking vehicles rush by the girl, causing her to back away. The vehicles let out a rather unsettling high-pitched [[EvilLaugh evil laughs.]] Luckily, it ends with her mother holding her hand and the girl is safe with her mother as they cross the street together.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrUQanhdVFA During the otherwise-tame "Elmo's Potty Time" skit]], Grover's stomach ''speaks'' at one point (says "Food" in a deep voice when he gets hungry, then says "Bye, Elmo"). It has ''never'' shown the ability to talk before or since, and you wonder how it could talk.
