"King Sneer" is a Sesame Street song performed by the Anything Muppets.
A minstrel (Kevin Clash) sings of a sad king (Jerry Nelson), who hasn't smiled in many years and asks his subjects to help. They try all manner of methods, from silly animals to amazing tricks, which all fail. Finally, a young girl (Fran Brill) is able to make him smile by offering to be his friend.

- Peter Linz, John Kennedy, and Julianne Buescher are among the performers for the subjects.
