Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Gina, Uncle Wally, Snuffy, and the kids hang out in the yard when they're visited by Sonny Friendly with another one of his traveling game shows. This time, his game is "Sesame Street's Funniest Ideas." Snuffy imagines everyone wearing cabbages instead of hats and Sonny tries to get the camera crew to get a shot of Snuffy's idea. Gina tells them that ideas are inside one's head and can't be seen using cameras. Sonny realizes his game is futile and goes to think up another one.
