!! ''Elmo in Grouchland''
* Just about every time Bert and Ernie appear on-screen is hilarious, but this scene in particular:
-->'''Bert:''' Elmo didn't get his blanket back" This is terrible! How can it end this way? It's so sad, oh, it's so sad...
-->'''Ernie''' ''(trying to interrupt)'': Oh, no, no, no, no... Bert, Bert, Bert -- no, Bert, Bert, listen --
-->'''Bert:''' Don't -- don't 'Bert' me! This is --- this is terrible...
-->'''Ernie''' ''(still trying to interrupt)'': No, it's okay, Bert, ''the movie's not over yet!''
-->({{Beat}}.)
-->'''Bert:''' Oh.
-->'''Ernie:''' Mm-hmm.
-->'''Bert:''' You mean good things could still happen?
-->'''Ernie:''' Of course they can, Bert! In fact, I'm sure good things ''will'' happen, because...who'd wanna see a movie with a sad ending, Bert?
-->({{Beat}}.)
-->'''Bert:''' ''{{Titanic}}.''
-->'''Ernie:''' What?
-->'''Bert:''' ''Titanic'' had a sad ending.
-->'''Ernie:''' Uh... no, Bert. Uh... Roll the film! C'mon, Bert. C'mon...
-->'''Bert''' (as Ernie ushers him off-screen) ''GoneWithTheWind.'' ''DoctorZhivago.''
* The jail scene gets two [=CMOFs=] right after one another:
** First when Big Bird starts singing the Alphabet song to cheer his Grouch cellmates up, and they panic, screaming: [[TakeThatUs "Lemme outta here! It's torture! Let us out!"]]
** Then, immediately afterwards, we get this gem of a scene with Gordon and Telly:
-->'''Telly''' (rattling the bars of his cell door): That's it! That's it! I can't take it anymore! I demand justice! ''I want a lawyer! CALL THE MEDIA! START A DEFENSE FUND!''
--> '''Gordon:''' Calm down -- calm down, Telly! Let me get you some water. ''(calling out to the guard)'' Hey! Can we get some water in here?
--> ''(Gordon promptly gets a bucket of water thrown at him.)''
--> '''Gordon:''' [[SarcasmMode ...Thanks.]]
--> '''Telly''' ''(looking at the soaking wet Gordon, holding out his cup)'': I didn't get any.

\n* Oscar was, on the day of Gabi's birth, the only one making regular contact with Luis. Oscar, doubting his honor as a grouch, refuses to tell a soul whether the baby has been born. Bob uses reverse psychology to assure Oscar that he is as grouchy as ever. It doesn't work. Pretty soon, David and Gordon are about ready to kill Oscar.

\n* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTqCVJW2qOw ABC Cookie Monster]]: A little girl sings the alphabet song with Kermit, but every so often, giggling hysterically, she replaces one of the letters with "Cookie Monster". Kermit's reactions are priceless. After the fourth time, Kermit says, "Next time Cookie Monster can do this with you. I'm leaving! Hmmmph!" and storms off. It becomes a HeartwarmingMoment when the little girl immediately says, "I love you!" and Kermit comes back on: "I love you, too." And she kisses him.

* The entirety of the classic sketch "The Magic Apple" from ''SesameStreet''. Bob is narrating a book that is in turn being performed by Ernie and a couple of other muppets. Fourth-wall violations abound. But this sketch gets especially funny when they trot out a very reluctant Bert in drag, who had to play the part of the princess in the script because no one else was around to do so. "You look great, Bert. You're beautiful!"
* The entire skit in which Bert and Ernie go fishing is a classic example of Sesame Street's brilliant humor, especially when Ernie's rather unorthodox method of catching fish proves to be far more successful than Bert's more traditional approach.
