I wonder if the people who came up this sketch and okayed it were fired after we were all traumatized. This f****ed me up!

Yeah, this childhood memory just popped into my head and I'm 28. It not only serves to teach kids about the letter U, and it's **Utter** Unnapealingness as a foam rubber letter, but also teaches kids about boundries and sexual harassment. But, yeh - when the U goes in for the crotch and ass grab it's a little much :/

I am SO glad to see that other children were just as terrified of this segment! I also would cry and yell at the tv for the U to let him go. It was so traumatizing to watch this U.

I am cracking up. I had to interpret computer acronyms in sign language last night and I had nightmares and here someone shares this, so succinct.

born in 1987. remember watching this at the age of 2. definitely freaked me out then, but the funniest thing is i didn't even remember this segment existed until watching the beatles "let it be" film a couple of months ago (when they sing a cover of this song). shows you how this stuff can freak you out on the subconscious level.

Yup we all felt uncomfortable & weirded out by that U don't worry you are'nt alone.

@CHItownDEVIL69 Question: How old were you when you remember seeing this? I was about 4 or 5 and I still get scared now when I watch it. Let me explain...I feel afraid when I see a big scary U, floating in the air, grab a grown man, pick him up, and carry him away. Also, the fact that the U is relentless, no matter how much he tries to push it away, is a violation of personal space and goes against his wishes...which is frightening for some people. Make sense now?

@tokioobsessed1983 Omg, me too! I was terrified! It still makes me cringe to see it...I can remember crying when this would come on...my pulse is actually getting faster just watching it on here-and I'm in my twenties...

feelin lucky

Don't feel bad, it's better than mistaking him for Bill Cosby like one poor fool did further down the comment line a while back ago
