That was crummy. And I mean that in the best (or is it the worst?) way.

Between that and this I feel I’ve thoroughly explored the story of Oscar The Grouch Who Lives In A Trashcan.

Yeah, and there’s something super-gross about Sesame Street shilling for the techie/corporate world. But after the Elmofication of Sesame Street, and HBO’s acquisition, there’s not much left anyway. It’s heartbreaking to see what’s happened to it.

He has, but Kemit was a muppet long before Sesame Street. He wasn’t associated entirely with that show, having gotten his start not as a frog but as a generic character on Sam and Friends all the way back into the 50s. Later he was more associated with The Muppet Show and the various movies than Sesame Street, so he wasn’t explicitly representing Sesame Street the way Oscar the Grouch does. In any case, that Lipton ad campaign started in 2014, well into the modern period of Sesame Street that I’m objecting to.
