C is for Computer

Muppets meet computing in 1967: "the Real Computer Monster", a/k/a The Coffee Break Machine.  I love the combination of technical language with goofy monster eating action, and the steady stream of cost analysis.  The creature looks a lot like Cookie Monster.

Here's the version which appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show:

Nothing to do with this post, but will people PLEASE VISIT MY WIKI? I mean, god, you'd think I was an ax murderer by the way you avoid it. This comment is mostly aimed at adults. I mean, I won't think you're a creep or anything, I'll just think Oh, they're cool. They're not CONTROVERCIAL to VISITING a KID'S wiki. I will laugh at the fools who don't visit, because that means they won't see the hostile takeo- I mean. The plans for another SITE. YEAH. I'm completely innocent.
