But when the big brown one and the tall yellow one first met...let's just say if this aired last week kids would be having nightmares for the next five years:

I always thought snuffy was a little creepy

The creepiness of him never hit me- I just saw two best friends, but then again I never saw the original episodes when Big Bird was tripping balls, (probably high on those flowers)...

 

[doggish_098]

i thought he was big birds imaginary friend and big bird and a rare few others were the only ones who could see him

 

[Lady-Wiz]

I don't remember Big Bird being so winy and annoying

I knew i wasn't losing my mind...

Mr. Snuffleupagus first appeared on Sesame Street in episode 0276, the third season premiere. When he first appeared, many of the adults assumed that he was Big Bird's imaginary friend, due to a series of coincidences and near-miss encounters that continually kept Snuffleupaguses and humans apart. Big Bird would often try to find ways for Snuffy to meet the adults, but something would always cause Snuffy to leave before the humans could see him. Sometimes, all it would take for the adults to see Mr. Snuffleupagus would be to turn their heads, yet they usually wouldn't do so until Snuffy had already gone.

Various kids could see Mr. Snuffleupagus, some Muppets saw him, and even a few celebrities (including Judy Collins, in a fantasy sequence) saw him, but the major human characters never believed his existence until episode 2096 in 1985.

Mr. Snuffleupagus became real to the entire cast for a few reasons. One was because the writers were running out of new ways to have Snuffy just barely miss meeting them. Another factor was increased concerns that the adults' refusal to believe Big Bird's claims of his friend's existence would discourage children from sharing important things with their parents.

We as children have it great, (back in the day), but scary as hell. Droopy was a manic depressive; that bear used to yell all the damn time- probably bi-polar or high; Yogi was a kleptomaniac and homosexual- that's how he kept Boo-boo in line...

Was anyone normal?!​
