Angela Kinsey on Pester

 


(It starts with Angela Kinsey on a purple background.)


Angela: Hi, I’m Angela, and I’m here to talk to you about the word “pester”. Now when you pester someone, you annoy them with constant interruptions, like say you’re-


(Just then, she hears Ernie’s laugh as he comes onscreen)


Ernie: (between laughter) Good one, Rubber Duckie!


Angela: Uh, Ernie?


Ernie: (noticing) Oh, hi Angela! Guess what? Rubber Duckie told me a hilarious joke, and you just gotta hear it, it’s so funny!


Angela: Well, I’d love to Ernie, but-


Ernie: (Cutting her off) Okay, if you insist! Here it is! (clears throat) What is a duck’s favorite dipping sauce?


Angela: (sighs) I don’t know. What is a duck’s favorite dipping sauce?


Ernie: Quack-amole! (laughs) Aw, isn’t that the funniest thing you’ve ever heard in your life?!?


Angela: Well sure, but Ernie, Ernie, I’m kind of in the middle of teaching the audience about today’s word, and you’re kinda, in the way, a little.


Ernie: (realizing) Oooooooh! Well, why didn’t you say so?! We’ll let you carry on with your talk, right Rubber Duckie? (Squeaks Rubber Duckie; laughs)


Angela: (giggles) Thanks, you two.


Ernie: Okay, bye Angela! Say goodbye, Rubber Duckie! (Squeaks Rubber Duckie as he leaves)


Angela: Bye, Ernie! Bye, Rubber Duckie! (chuckles) Anyway, an example of pestering someone would be something like-


Cookie Monster: (rushing in) Angela Angela Angela Angela Angela!!!


Angela: Cookie, Cookie, what’s wrong?!?


Cookie Monster: Angela, me so glad me found you because me need to ask you really important emergency question!


Angela: Well, what’s your question?


Cookie Monster: Do you… have a cookie?


(Angela gives Cookie a deadpan look.)


Angela: (unimpressed) No, Cookie Monster. I do not have any cookies for you.


Cookie Monster: ….Oh. …Okay. Me just thought me’d ask.


Angela: (under her breath) Of course you did.


Cookie Monster: Okay, uh, me just going to go see, if there cookie somewhere else.


Angela: Please do.


(Cookie Monster exits)


Angela: (groans) So, anyway, I-


Cookie Monster: (peering his head back) You sure you no got cookies? Like, you 100% sure?


Angela: (groans again) Yes, I’m 100% sure, Cookie.


Cookie Monster: Okay, okay. Me just making sure. (leaves)


Angela: (looks around)…Okay, it looks like there’s no one else around, so now I can finally give you an example of pestering someone. Let’s say you’re on the phone, and-


Grover: (Popping up) HEY, ANGIE BABYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!


(Angela groans, as Grover runs up to her, and gives her a slap on the back.)


Grover: How are you today, Angela? Because however you are, you are about to be a whole lot better! For I, your cute, adorable, trusty pal Grover, am here to help you with whatever you need!


Angela: (frustrated) Ugh! Grover, I don’t need any help right now!! I’m trying to talk about the word pester, but every time I try to do that everyone keeps… pestering me!!!


Grover: Pestering you?


Angela: (Still frustrated) Yes!! First, it was Ernie and his duck joke, then Cookie Monster comes up and asks me for cookies, and now you come along yelling and asking to help me when all I want to do is let people know what’s it like to pester someone, and I-... Wait a minute. Grover!


Grover: Yes?


Angela: I think you just helped me!


Grover: I did?


Angela: Yeah! Pester means to annoy someone, and Ernie was annoying me, Cookie was annoying me, and you were annoying me, too! So that means the three of you were pestering me! This is great!


Grover: Ah ah, no need to thank me,  Angie. It is all in a day’s work.


Angela: Well, you did a very good job.


Grover: Thank you.


Angela and Grover: Pester! (laugh)

My LEAST Favorite Community Episode

Image
  Now I don’t think it needs to be said at this point, but Community is one of, if not the best sitcoms of all time. It’s also a show that doesn’t have that many episodes that fans actively dislike. Though, if you were to ask someone what their least favorite Community episode is, they’ll probably name something from the latter half of the show, usually from season 4. (So something like Intro to Felt Surrogacy, History 101, Conventions of Space & Time, etc.) Not my pick, though. No, MY least favorite episode comes from the worst season pre-Dan’s Departure: Season Three. So, which season three episode do I consider the worst, I hear you asking? I’ll tell you right now. The episode of Community that I consider the worst is… Competitive Ecology. …Okay, now that you got that out of your systems, allow me to elaborate. First off, I do get why people would like this episode, there are some good jokes, and a few iconic moments (What happened with Legos?, Offense Taken, etc.), I like P...

Sesame Seeds (Episode 14): Gina Jefferson

Image
  Hi everyone, and welcome back to Sesame Seeds, the series where we look at the progression of a Sesame Street character from humble beginnings to the present day. This is another episode I was really looking forward to, because it’s on my favorite human character, and one who doesn’t get nearly as talked about as much as she should: Gina Jefferson. Now, in the past, I’ve described Gina as the prettiest, most developed, most amazing cast member of Sesame Street, and all of that is still true to this day. But in this episode, like I usually do, I’m going to go into detail on why this is true. So Gina is played by the equally pretty and amazing Alison Bartlett, who like many of us, grew up watching Sesame Street as a kid. She shared my frustrations of Snuffy never being seen by the adults, and actually got to shake hands with Mr. Hooper during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in 1973, or 74. She started acting when she was 12 on stage/broadway productions, but unlike the character she...

EVERY Sesame Street Special Ever Ranked

Image
  So for those of you who haven’t been paying attention all this time, Sesame Street is the biggest, longest running, most well known children’s television program to ever exist. Starting in 1969 and over the course of 52 years and counting, it’s gone to air over 4,000 episodes, 2 movies, 3 spinoff shows with another currently in the works and a ton of specials. 30 to be exact. And in this blog post we’re going to be reviewing and ranking every single one of them. Sesame Street specials are an interesting bunch, because they each came at different periods of the show, so you really never know what you’re gonna get when you watch one. One moment, you could view a story focused production with heartwarming moments, and the next, you could be watching a light hearted compilation of new content aimed at the younger audience. And because these specials came from such different times in the show, what you get is a collection of time capsules which each have something different to offer t...
