Now this shit is funny! Last night, Saturday Night Live featured a digital short starring host, David Harbour (STRANGER THINGS) as a humanized version of Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street. The only twist? It was a dark, gritty version of Oscar in the exact same vein as Todd Phillips' JOKER (which is currently making a killing at the box office). The parody, titled GROUCH, is spot-on and hilariously infuses all the other famous Sesame Street characters in wonderfully wrong ways! Just watch the damn thing:

Harbour is the man! I feel bad his HELLBOY didn't get more love, but at least GROUCH is rapidly becoming a trashy viral hit! What was your favorite part? What other humanized characters were you surprised to see? Please dump your comments below!
