The Good Sport

Season 43

What’s the Word on the Street? : Champion

SCENES: Abby and Elmo welcome the viewer as the play hot potato, using a real potato. The games pass and Elmo loses every time, causing him to get frustrated. He says that it’s the potato’s fault and so they play the game with an extra-large potato and an extra small one too. He still loses every game and gets more and more frustrated and Abby, who feels uncomfortable, leaves for lunch.

Telly passes by and learns about Elmo’s problem. He tells Elmo that he can recall when he wasn’t good at hot potato but by practicing a lot, he became a real expert in the game. So Telly helps him to get better, and they exercise in a “Rocky”- like montage with the rock song “Eye of the Potato” playing.

Telly has taught Elmo everything that he knew, so Elmo calls Abby over to play again and he wins! They keep playing and Elmo continuously wins and brags about his victories. He’s so arrogant, that it drives both Telly and Abby away.

Leela appears, delivering some laundry to Gordon and Susan, and learns about Elmo’s victories and the problem with his friends. Leela is a big fan of the game and plays around with Elmo and he wins. Leela tells him that winning isn’t always everything and that being a good sport is most important. Elmo realizes what he’s done to his friends and sings a song about his mistakes.

Elmo finds Abby and Telly and apologizes for the way he treated them and says, that he’s going to be a good sport by now. They forgive him and play another round of hot potato.
