Muptown Funk (previously) keeps rolling along, recently with two longer videos concerning Sesame Street: ranking every Waiter Grover sketch (50 minutes), and a deep dive into the stomach history of the Cookie Monster (20 minutes)!
I love the Waiter Grover sketches. I'm going to have to watch that video tonight.

Thanks for this! I miss the pure, gleeful chaos of original Cookie Monster and Grover. I was really little but vividly remember what a big deal it was when Cookie Monster ate Mr. Hooper’s store. It was the talk of the dinner table!
My favorite Cookie Monster sketches are Sesame Street News: The Princess and the Cookie and the Ballad of Casey McPhee.

After watching the Grover Chicken Castle sketch, YouTube's algorithm recommended to me this video from Double Toasted Bites of two Black guys having a ridiculously intricate bean-plating discussion of the Grover Chicken Castle sketch, with the two of them staking out opposing pro-Grover and pro-Mr. Johnson positions. Eventually, they come to argue that the entire series of waiter Grover sketches is like a thriller with Grover as the antagonist against Mr. Johnson, which they compared to the Netflix show Beef.

It has been brought to my attention that the Waiter Grover video goes to a timestamp a way in. I didn't mean to do that in this case. Mods, is it possible to remove the ampersand and the text after it in that link URL?

I was some what excited to see the Christmas Eve on Sesame Street reference. We have a toddler at work who is a Sesame Street fan. I'm going to have to send the Cookie Monster link to mom.

raise your hand if "The Monster at the End of this Book" was your introduction to avant-garde literature
