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 Profe

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 wou

11 Reasons Why The Barbie Movie Doesn't Work For Me

Image
  (WARNING: This review WILL contain major spoilers, so if you haven’t seen it already, I suggest you do.) So, Barbie huh? I don’t think anyone was expecting Barbie to be the politically charged controversial hit that it was, especially not when it was alongside Oppenheimer.  I went into Barbie knowing nothing other than what the trailers showed me, and I was prepared to have a good time with another Mattel-related franchise. But when I finished the movie, something about it felt off to me, and I couldn’t really explain or articulate my feelings towards it. Now I know I already made a review of this movie, but those were my first impressions from seeing the movie for the first time. Now that a few months have passed, and I’ve had time to actually gather and ponder my thoughts, I wanted to make this updated review to explain my Barbie opinions in more detail. Now Barbie is one of those movies that tends to be seen as mostly black and white, as most people either love it or hate it. Me?
