Buddyjimhammer — Buddy and Jim from Episode 0001

Buddy and Jim were a human comedy duo who appeared on Sesame Street during the first season. They debuted in the first episode. The bungling pair were featured in separate filmed inserts, and failed at such tasks as assembling a letter W.

As described by Stefan Kanfer in a Nov. 23, 1970 TIME article, "In its first series, Sesame Street used two clowns, Buddy and Jim, to illustrate problem solving. They were a walking Polish joke, one lifting and turning the other to screw in a light bulb, refusing a nail because it was turned the wrong way."

They were later followed by other comedy teams, such as Larry and Phyllis and Wally and Ralph.
