SESAME STREET — Following President Donald Trump's executive order to strip federal funding from PBS, residents of Sesame Street were forced to pack their bags and move in with Oscar the Grouch just to survive.
Trump signed the order late Thursday directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to end federal funding of PBS and NPR, leading to the mass layoff of hundreds of muppets, including those who live on Sesame Street.
"Elmo unemployed! HAHAHA! Elmo feels just like a grown-up! HAHAHA!" said Elmo as he moved into Oscar's garbage can without asking. "Elmo's house is in foreclosure! HAHAHA!"
Oscar the Grouch, a known recluse, was reportedly extra miserable now that every muppet in the neighborhood had moved into his trash can. "What gives?" he was heard asking as Ernie arrived to move in. "This dump ain't big enough for all of you creeps!"
Big Bird, who had already been living on the street in a giant nest of his own design, reportedly moved in with Oscar because he was feeling left out. "Oh, dear! You guys are having a party? I like parties!" he said as he squeezed into the tiny garbage can. "I should tell Mr. Snuffleupagus to move in, too."
At publishing time, local muppet Guy Smiley had also moved into Oscar's trash can after being let go from his job as a reporter for NPR.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Hah! Last night I predicted some commie loving enemedia company to headline something like, “Trump Murders Big Bird.”
Can 17 unemployed muppets share a trash can without driving each other crazy?
Elmo died of suddenly a couple of years ago.
There are 45 years of Sesame Street episodes recorded. That’s enough to start rerunning them, and the five year old won’t care.
Besides, I am sure Gordon and Mr. Hooper were better than whoever they have now.
Count von Count frantically tried to use his muppet magic to damage President Trump’s credit rating, alas and alak, to no avail.
One bat. Two bats ... feefty bats, ah ah ahhhh!
Big Bird won't be moving in with them...
I was channeling a sitcom from the 1960s.
“Trump Murders Big Bird.”
They pulled that crap when W Bush floated the idea of pulling their funding......this time around I think they’re so shell-shocked they didn’t have time to react.
I would rather have had my kid watch Captain Kangaroo on youtube than that sesame street crap.
Only big bird shot would bring down the Big Bird.
Not duck & pheasant high brass. Big Bird Buckshot.
I laughed out loud on this one!! Go BEE!!
I actually remember that show. It’s where I learned what a capon was.
As I learned recently. Sesame Street was started in 1968 or 1969.
My twins and I watch ones from mid 80’s on YouTube. They don’t care, and no Elmo.
