I came into this saying "How can we mock Sesame Street?" and you couldn't. You're completely right when you say it embodies our childhood, but to have Chester finish the review is nothing short of amazing. The fanservice is off the fucking chain, and it's just well done because he mocks the movie without needing to actually mock it.
It's impossible tear apart our childhood, but you did the best job you could without literally arising with a black heart. Well done Nostalgia Critic, well done.

I don't think you can mock Sesame Street as a whole, but there are parts of it that are very mock-worthy. Such as Kami, the HIV-positive Muppet from the South African version. I mean, it's great that they want to educate people about HIV, but seriously? A Muppet?!?!

I think this might very well be my favorite NC ever. Even though you didn't make fun of it (which, in all honesty, you just can't make fun of "Sesame Street") you still managed to make it so hilarious. Especially whenever you'd see the characters and get all excited. It's okay Nostalgia Critic. Girl's find guys with a sensitive side very attractive.
The Bum gets around an awful lot for a guy that lives in a box.

Well, that was a twist. written by Curiosity Inc , August 19, 2008
Sesame Street is critic-proof. Plain and simple. The Nostalgia Critic thrives on good memories turned sour or bad memories turned worse, and Sesame Street is just timeless, wonderful purity. Anyone who doesn't have good memories of Big Bird and company has lived a deprived childhood. Anyone who looks on Sesame Street with disdain has a heart two sizes too small (I know that's a different kid's movie, but work with me here).
There's no possible way that the NC could have finished this review in his trademarked cynical and psychotic manner. The Ask That Guy persona might have worked, since that character is pure evil, but he would have taken too long. When you need to wrap a review up quickly and humorously, with no regard to detail, Chester A. Bum is the only guy you can possibly turn to.
That said, as much as I like Chester, I really, really don't want to see him used as a crutch for the NC or ATGWTG any more often than necessary. I can understand why he was used here, but still.
Overall, I really liked this review. It was honest-to-goodness nostalgia, without any of the headaches or humiliation that it so often comes with. I wouldn't want to see that often from the NC, but every now and then, it's nice to look back on a good memory instead of a bad one.

Not nostalgic for me, but great review written by qwertyblue64 , August 19, 2008
Being born in 1991, I wouldn't be able to truly remember a movie from the mid to late 80s when it came out in theatres. For me, there was a Sesame Street movie called "Elmo in Grouchland" but I was too old for Sesame Street when it came out. Well, I guess "Follow that Bird" would be bad for people like us because we're too old to watch Sesame Street by at least 7 years if not, in my case, at least 9 or 10. If I was a little kid, I'd probably like Follow that Bird.
