Go To

1* Elmo's alarm clock. A cute little bird pops out, Ala a cuckoo clock, but instead of going "Cuckoo!" the bird turns to the sleeping Elmo and bellows, "WAKE UP!" in a loud, high-pitched voice.
2* The chase at the beginning, where Telly rollerskates out of control and collides with Elmo's blanket, causing mayhem throughout the Street, the best part being Cookie Monster being caught inside the Furry Arms' revolving door, emerging and spilling his plate of cookies everywhere before collapsing (which is a StealthPun-- he just ''tossed his cookies'')
3** Super Grover's cameo, where he takes to the skies to find the blanket, only for him, Elmo and Telly to end up crashing into each other (Big Bird [[ICantLookGesture averts his eyes]] at this, and does so in a way that makes it look like he's facepalming).
4** Other characters' summaries of the scene:
5--->'''Zoe''': "I didn't mean to rip his blanket... and then Telly came..."
6--->'''Big Bird''': "[The blanket] flew out of the sky, and then Oscar sneezed in it, and then he threw it in his can."
7** Baby Bear does the old HowManyFingers bit to Elmo after he [[FaintInShock passes out from shock]]. The Count counts the fingers instead.
8* Huxley ordering Bug to get in the Huxo-copter and drive.
9-->'''Huxley:''' Bug, you really know how to ruin a villainous moment, don't you? Now get in the cartoonishly evil vehicle and drive!"
10* Just about every time Bert and Ernie appear on-screen is hilarious, but this scene in particular:
11-->'''Bert:''' Wait, wait, wait, stop the movie again! Ernie, Ernie!
12-->'''Ernie:''' What now, Bert?
13-->'''Bert:''' Well, Ernie, this is terrible. Elmo didn't get his blanket back! How can it end this way? It's so sad, oh, it's so sad...
14-->'''Ernie''' ''(trying to interrupt)'': Oh, no, no, no, no... Bert, Bert, Bert -- no, Bert, Bert, listen --
15-->'''Bert:''' Don't -- don't 'Bert' me! This is -- this is terrible...
16-->'''Ernie''' ''(still trying to interrupt)'': No, it's okay, Bert, ''the movie's not over yet!''
17-->({{Beat}}.)
18-->'''Bert:''' Oh.
19-->'''Ernie:''' Mm-hmm.
20-->'''Bert:''' You mean good things could still happen?
21-->'''Ernie:''' Of course they can, Bert! In fact, I'm sure good things ''will'' happen, because...who'd wanna see a movie with a [[DownerEnding sad ending]], Bert?
22-->({{Beat}}.)
23-->'''Bert:''' ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}.''
24-->'''Ernie:''' What?
25-->'''Bert:''' ''Titanic'' had a sad ending.
26-->'''Ernie:''' Uh... no, Bert. Uh... Roll the film! C'mon, Bert. C'mon...
27-->'''Bert''' (as Ernie ushers him off-screen) ''Film/GoneWithTheWind.''
28-->'''Ernie:''' No, Bert, no.
29-->'''Bert:''' ''Film/DoctorZhivago.''
30-->'''Ernie:''' Shh. Quiet, Bert.
31** In the French dub, Bert mentions ''Film/LoveStory'' [[BilingualBonus instead of ''Gone with the Wind'']].
32** Ernie BreakingTheFourthWall at the very beginning of the movie, welcoming the viewers. Then Bert enters the picture, asking Ernie if he's seen his anti-bacterial soap because he's about to take a shower.
33** After a few moments, as the film actually starts, Ernie reminds Bert that he may want to put some clothes on. Bert then realizes he's still in his shower gear and runs off screaming.
34* The jail scene gets two [=CMOFs=] right after one another:
35** First when Big Bird starts singing the Alphabet song to cheer his Grouch cellmates up, and they panic, screaming: [[SelfDeprecation "Lemme outta here! It's torture! Let us out!"]]
36** Then, immediately afterwards, we get this gem of a scene with Gordon and Telly:
37--->'''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!''
38---> '''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?
39---> ''(Gordon promptly gets a bucket of water thrown at him.)''
40---> '''Gordon:''' [[SarcasmMode ...Thanks.]]
41---> '''Telly''' ''(looking at the soaking wet Gordon, holding out his cup)'': I didn't get any.
42--->''(Gordon squeezes some of the water out of his shirt and into Telly's cup)''
43** How does the Sesame Street Gang even wind up in jail in the first place? Big Bird and Zoe ''ask a police officer to help them find Elmo.'' In Grouchland, asking someone for help is apparently considered a felony.
44** Also, the Grouch cop who locks them up informs they "have the right to scream their head off"... and if they don't want to, "someone who will scream ''their'' head off will be provided for ''them''.
45* The Pestie driving the digger chants, "Slow, slow, slow, slow, slowslowslowslowslowslow... [[SuddenlyShouting STOP]]!!!"
46* A grouch denying Elmo's cry for help by saying "I'd love to, but I don't speak English", much to Elmo's confusion.
47* Big Bird getting stuck in Oscar's can when they head off to search for Elmo.
48* This gem with Bug towards one of the Pesties named Howard who was glancing instead of hiding:
49-->'''Bug:''' (whispering) Howard? Howard? '''[[SuddenlyShouting HOWARD!!!]]'''
50* When Huxley gets up, he declares, "[[MundaneMadeAwesome I'm walking]]!", and Howard alerts everyone that "the boss is walking!", all the while complaining that [[AgonyOfTheFeet the rocks on the ground are hot, sharp, and dirty]] and he should've worn shoes.
51* The Queen of Trash's Ultimate Challenge is... BlowingARaspberry 100 times in 30 seconds.
52-->'''Elmo''': "30 seconds to do a hundred ''[blows raspberry]''"
53-->'''Queen''': "That's why it's called the Ultimate Challenge!"
54* Grizzy's Soggy-Pants Sandy Doll. '''That's it.'''
55** It apparently has the ability to [[PottyFailure wet itself in its pants.]]
56** Grizzy describes her as being stinky and soggy and mentions that that's the way she likes her. She even sings a song about the doll and what it can do.
57*** "Soggy-Pants Sandy wets her pants/ that's why they call her soggy/ watch her do the soggy dance/ and after you'll get wet."
58* One of the ways Huxley tries to get rid of Elmo is to get him eaten by Tiny, a giant chicken who [[IAmNotWeasel thinks Elmo's a worm]]. This leads to some hilarity:
59** Tiny tells Elmo to stay still so he can eat him. He obviously doesn't, prompting the chicken to complain "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint This is not how eating works]]!".
60** Then Tiny complains he'll get gas, and then burps and farts at the same time.
61** Elmo finally proves to Tiny that he's not a worm by singing "I'm a Little Teapot" (since worms can't sing). But this makes Tiny think that Elmo really ''is'' a teapot, and he throws him away because he can't have tea if he hasn't had his dinner yet.
62* One of the Pesties is hanging from the sign and says, "I'm the King of the World!". He then falls down and says, "No, I'm not."
63* Oscar [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold almost calls Elmo his friend]], then tries to cover it up by calling him his "French-fried fish head".
64* From "Welcome to Grouchland":
65** Shampoo is revealed to be illegal in Grouchland, so the Grouches wash themselves with cheese.
66** The elderly Grouch's line about how "the streets are paved with solid mold and the stinkbugs sing!".
67** The Grouches' motto is "I grouch, therefore I am."
68** As the song reaches its final note, Elmo receives a bouquet. A Grouch immediately then cuts of the flowers with some garden shears, leaving Elmo holding a bunch of stems. The look Elmo gives the viewer just sells it.
