The Typewriter



The Typewriter Guy is an unofficial name for the animated typewriter, with arms and mobile wheels, who appeared on Sesame Street beginning in the 1970s. The Typewriter would demonstrate letters by typing out the letter, and a word beginning with it, on himself. He often fumbled, which frustrated him. The Typewriter's most notable dialogue, apart from announcing the letter and the word, was his trademark "Noo-nee-noo-nee-noo" sounds. Twenty six Typewriter shorts were producer, one for each letter of the alphabet, and continued to appear on Sesame Street as late as Season 35.
