So, when I was a kid, there were various shows I used to watch that had sketches (which could be animated, live-action, or involve puppets, or some combination thereof). Some of them were musical, some of them were just comical, some of them may have been educational, many of them were trippy or weird. Some were one-shots, some involved recurring characters. Many of them probably originated before my time, but were recycled in episodes that aired when I was a kid (late 1970s to around the mid 80s). The vast majority of them I wouldn't even remember now, but there are some that do still come to mind, every now and then. Many such clips can be found on YouTube, so, for the sake of nostalgia, I can look them up. (Or I can find things I had completely forgotten about.) And for the sake of convenience, I'll put my favorites on this page.
