Martin Robinson has been a puppeteer for over 40 years starting in the early 80s! He worked directly with Frank Oz and Jim Henson and many other puppeteer legends!
Just a whole bunch of grown ups 😂😂
Thats so crazy to see😍
Ok… hear me out… Snuff’s puppeteer looks like an older grey haired Henry Cavill…. Definitely not an insult
I feel like the guy controlling the back legs and snuffing off like a suit would be in a lot of trouble if the guy in the front fartedfarted…😂😂😂💖💖💖
Man, that’s ruined it for me…. My childhood memories tarnished…
When i first saw snuffleupagus for the first time , I was creeped out and I never watched sesame street again
He said six or seven bodies
