Bird shot… big bird shot.
Nooooo they shot big birdy
Reminds me of the one about the Beatles.
Paul: Guys, I’ve written the greatest love song ever. John: I’ve written a song to change the world for the better of humanity. George: I’ve traveled the world and incorporated new instruments from other cultures. Ringo: I’ve written a song about a yellow submarine.
Wait…Is “Yellow Submarine” not about an ex-Chinese ex-war machine full of utopian communists rescuing diverse survivors of nuclear war into a floating mobile commune (presumably full of recreational drug use)?
And Ringo’s is the best song to scream sing when you’re drunk as fuck.
Yeah. Massive hit! Lol.
I had zero clue that Snuffie was imaginary until well into adulthood.
The original plan was for him to be imaginary. For a long time, no one else on Sesame Street could see him. But it became upsetting to viewers that everyone laughed at Big Bird when he said Snuffy was real, so they wrote an episode where he introduced himself to everyone and from then on he was a regular part of the cast.
Also,Snuffy’s original design was kinda creepy.

That’s the most load-bearing use of the word “kinda” that I have seen in a sentence. That “kinda”, while valid, is under so much stretch strain, it could shatter at any moment.
More than just upsetting to viewers, the messaging of Snuffleupagus was leading to kids thinking that adults wouldn’t believe them if they were being harmed:
The fear was that if we represented adults not believing what kids said, they might not be motivated to tell the truth. That caused us to rethink the storyline: Is something we’ve been doing for 14 years—that seemed innocent enough—now something that’s become harmful?
Oh, wow. The reveal might have happened after I’d aged out of the show.
Thanks for the correction!
Wait what
In regional versions of Sesame Street Big Bird has an actual name (although usually it isn’t the exact same character, but another kind of large bird). I think mostly because in those languages it wouldn’t be an alliteration. But I like to think it’s just because Americans are rude and never bothered to learn their name, calling them Big Bird because of how they look.
You can’t just say that and not show a picture of Garibaldo

To be fair Pino is pretty adorable.
