Jun 23, 2009 - I think the ending should've gone like this: Allistair Cookie: That deep, deep stuff. Oh, well. (Elmo comes in) Elmo: Excuse, Elmo, have you seen Telly Grover around here, Cookie? Allistair Cookie: That Allistair Cookie, to you. Telly: Elmo! Grover: There you are! Elmo: Oh, yay! C'mon! Let's go play! (all leave cheering) Allistair Cookie: Oh, well. They together now, that all that matter. (gives ending)

PandaMishima Says:

Sep 2, 2009 - I once saw a parody of an "action packed" comic book where the two main characters are arguing over whether they're waiting next to a tree or bush. Needless to say, the "action" was entirely cerebral, and just as dead on.

Oct 4, 2009 - May i ask why you dislike it? If it is purely because of the fact that you dont understand it, Beckett never intended people to fathom it, nor any of his plays. The wonderful thing about Beckett's work is that it is totaly open to interprtation. Read it, studdy it, once you build your own view of the play you will adore it and find your own relations and relevance to the play.

Oct 20, 2009 - I would like to see Big Bird and Oscar do "Endgame."

Schnorbs Says:

Oct 24, 2009 - And even a little snatch of "People Will Say We're In Love". Brilliant!

Kimberleg Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - Best Elmo Sketch Ever.

mrsdengler Says:

Nov 18, 2009 - I'm not sure whether Beckett never intended people to fathom his plays. It's true that some of the value of art in general lies in individual interpretation, but why would Beckett deliberately write plays that were completely indecipherable? If his plays defy interpretation to an extent, and I agree they do, then something is conveyed by that very fact. e.g. in Godot much of the speech is pointless because they're using speech against action, conveying the absurdity of their position
