Ask Oscar is a recurring series of Sesame Street sketches from the 1980s. Each segment was introduced by Telly Monster, and they involved Oscar the Grouch answering mail from viewers.
This sketch as also revived as the main street story in Episode 4118.
Segments
- V Word
- Oscar gets a letter from a viewer who wants Oscar to talk about a V word. Oscar talks about the V word "Vibrate". Telly doesn't know what "vibrate" means, so Oscar has Telly hit a steel V that Oscar has with a hammer, which gives them both a vibrating feeling.
- Plan For A Vacation (EKA: Episode 1845)
- Bob fills in for Telly, as Oscar shows how he would plan for a vacation. Oscar packs a suitcase, roughly exactly as Bob would, but when Bob lifts the suitcase, everything falls out though a torn side.
- The Longest Grouch Word
- A deaf women assists Oscar, translating Oscar's words in sign language. Oscar answers a letter from someone who wants to know what the longest grouch word he knows is. Oscar states that the word is "supercalifragilistic-yucky-elodocious" (a reference to Mary Poppins), which is hard to sign, and which Oscar repeats many times.
