Telly Monster asks viewers to help Sesame Street's YouTube Channel become the first nonprofit organization and the first US children's company to reach one-billion channel views on YouTube. While browsing videos (including "Elmo's Song," "Smell Like A Monster," "The Elmo Slide," "Kitties on the Potty," "Gangnam Grannies", and "Share It Maybe"), Telly finds a video entitled "Sesame Street Top Secret Video." However access to the file is denied, with a message saying: "This Sesame Street Video is currently unavailable. It cannot be accessed until the Sesame Street Channel has reached 1,000,000,000 views."

Quotes about the videos
Comments about individual videos are on their specific pages:
- Kevin Clash: "We're having so much fun with that. This is where it's positive to use YouTube and all those things and get that out there. Because you know the children that you want to see that, it gets right to them. Jim always wanted the adult audience to connect with whatever was going on, whatever year it was. We were looking at commercials, looking at whatever sitcom was happening, and incorporating that into Sesame Street."[1]
