Big Bird
April 8th, 2011
When did the adults on Sesame Street start believing Big Bird, that Snufalufagus was real?
I grew up in the 70′s, and watched Sesame Street as a child. Big Bird had a friend that everyone thought was imaginary, it was very frustrating. My older kids grew up on Nickelodeon so I haven’t really watched the show in decades. My youngest daughter is an Elmo fan, and I see the format has changed….thankfully.
This running gag ended with the November 18, 1985 episode of Sesame Street, which was also episode 2096 and the 17th season premiere, when the adults finally met Snuffy. Big Bird is sick and tired of not having the grown-ups believing him when he tells them about Snuffy. So he decides to arrange for them to come to his nest when he yells the signaling word, “Food.” When Big Bird calls out the word, Snuffy runs off to tell his mother about it, so once again the grown-ups just miss him. Gordon, wanting to help, suggests to Big Bird that he needs someone to help him keep Snuffy in his nest and Elmo offers to be the one. So when Snuffy returns, Elmo holds on to his snuffle so he cannot go, Big Bird yells, “Food,” and one by one the adults come and see Snuffy for the first time ever. After Snuffy introduces himself, Big Bird does an “I told you so” routine to the adults.
