Our economy is getting so bad that certain muppet puppets are out of a job. Oscar the Grouch for once didn’t seem to be upset, even though his boss has canned him.
When asked why he was cool about being laid-off Oscar just responded, “I have been wanting to play new parts for quite sometime. Ever since that little red freak who likes to be tickled was hired I have puked one too many times.”
Other muppets who have been laid off are Grover, Big Bird, The Count, the letter M and the numbers 1 and 3, which means that the number 13 and 31 are out of job as well.
It’s not a total loss because most of the characters will be replaced with those who promised to work for a lesser salary.
Grover will be replaced with Yoda
Big Bird will be replaced with the bird from Twitter
The Count will be replaced by Count Chocula.
I have to say that the Sesame Street of the 1970′s and 80′s were the very best! This is the era before Elmo came along. Bert and Ernie were my favorite. ~Scholar Mel Sept 04, 2011
Who was/is your favorite character from Sesame Street?
