"If everyone calls you trash, and everyone treats you like trash, then why dont you just become trash"- David Harbour 2019

"When everyone calls you trash, and everyone treats you like trash, why don't you just become trash?" BEST QUOTE EVER

Fun fact: David Harbour lived in a trash can for 6 months to prepare for this role. I think that dedication to the character he was portraying really shows in this sketch.

3 years later, and I still want this turned into a full movie

Whoever wrote this sketch needs a raise and a promotion.

This dude darkly singing Sesame Street from the trash can at the end was pure gold.

The Burt and Ernie part got me!

“You only arrest Elmo cause Elmo mexican!” That was pretty funny 😂

The best part of this is the fact David Harbour lowkey looks actually intimidating and unhinged in this.

Everyone’s talking about the person who wrote/came up with this, but how about some love for whoever shot it?? Looks exactly like joker

*this needs to be a movie!*

One of the best parodies they’ve made in awhile. I still get a kick out of it

"I used to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it's trash."

This really expands the Sesame Street cinematic universe.

"If everyone calls you trash, everyone treats you like trash, why not become trash?" That's some deep stuff, my dude 😄

The orchestral dramatic minor arrangement of the sesame street theme is what makes this

“I used to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it’s trash”

Can we just appreciate how they went to the actual filming locations of Joker for this 😂😂

The ‘twisted minds at Sesame Workshop’ always gets me

Four years on, still waiting for this to be real

I wanna find out who wrote this and shake that person’s hand. I have never been more invested in a children’s educational program till now.

“If everyone calls you trash and everyone treats like trash, why don’t you just become trash?” *same*

"Ernie, give it to him!" His freaking hairstyle kills me!🤣🤣🤣

The Easter eggs are so good. Grover in the beginning. Mrs Robinson as the therapist. This is goooood stuff

Is nobody else going to comment on how incredible that Bert impression was?

“Did we need a dark take on Sesame Street?” “No!” -New York Times I simply died watching this. Thank you SNL

I’d pay about 300 bucks to see this in 2D

This is still the best thing snl has done in over a decade. This could legit be a movie too. 😂🤣😂

It's weird how unironically good a slowed down, orchestrated version of the Sesame Street theme sounds.

"EERRRNNIIIIIEEE!" The producers really tapped in to Bert's emotional depth.

This becomes even more amazing when you learn that Roscoe Orman, who played Gordon on Sesame Street for decades, starred in the 1973 film “Willie Dynamite,” looking just like Kenan in this sketch. 😂

David Harbour did such a good job on SNL and especially with this pretaped skit. I didn't really think much of him appearing as a guest on this show. But oh man he really did great. I think he's such a good actor and I love that he can be a dramatic and comedic actor. He definitely captured that dark comedyesque nature in this and the darkness that Joaquin had in the Joker. I'm so happy for his success and I saw a behind the scenes of Stranger Things. The directors, producers, and casting wanted well known veteran actors for the adult actors since all the kids were unknown. The directors and producers wanted people like Ewan McGregor or Sam Rockwell for his role but the casting agent loved David and pushed HARD for him to be cast. Thank God they listened to the casting director because he's perfect for the role and I could not imagine anyone else playing that character.

Joaquin Phoenix: I've got this Oscar in the bag David Harbour: Hold my trashcan

The slowed down version of the theme is terrifying

And now he's playing a gritty santa claus

This is by far the best comedy sketch ever thought up, produced... this should have won an award if it hasn't already. Absolutely Superb.

Oscar: "The worst part of having a grouchy attitude is people expect you to behave as if you don't."

All that’s missing is someone telling Oscar he’s “a monster”, and Oscar replying, “we all are”.

I feel robbed that today is the first time I have seen this!😂 Absolutely hilarious!

"'No,' says the New York Times." I like to think that was the entire review.

Best fake trailer ever why isn't this a movie

My film and literature teacher showed us this during one class. It was awesome.

One of my all-time favs. I never tire of it and eagerly share it.

It’s crazy how I’d actually like to see this movie get made

The Oscar is going to Oscar this year. Sorry, Joaquin.

The production quality of this parody is on par with the real Joker movie. ❤❤❤ Love this one so so much.

Omfg I didn't know I needed this movie until I did!!! Someone make this! Genius!

whoever wrote this deserves a raise

"Give me the ducky" "Ernie...give it to him!" ya'll doin the most lol

I just discovered this a few days ago and keep coming back to it. It’s living rent free in my head.

I think about this at least once a month and come back and watch it. This needs to be a real movie. Its perfect.

I'd watch this in a heartbeat. Oscar worthy. No pun intended....

Can we get kudos for the music arranger who made the haunting orchestral version of the Sesame Street theme song in a minor key? I laughed way too hard when I realized what it was.

I would give my entire paycheck to go see this. I really do wish this would be turned into a movie. The thought of it is just pure gold.

Whomever did the cinematography for this, needs a pat on the back. Absolutely brilliant. Even if it were a joke, it made me intrigued enough to want to watch it as a movie. Nicely done!!

They putting some real money into these sketches now

“When I was a little boy, everybody laughed at me because I wanted to be trash, well nobody’s laughing now”

I actually want to see this movie! Lol. They did an amazing job with everything. You can tell a lot of hard work and dedication was put into this parody.

This is sooooooo good. I have to come back from time to time and see it again. Would totally go see this if it were a real movie!

"The worst part of having trash is people expect you to behave as if you don't."

That was the best parody SNL’s done in a long time

I love this sketch! I want a full movie on this ASAP. This is genius

Every now and then I come back to watch this because it’s just that good. Especially the music 🎶

The shots look exactly like Joker that it's almost unbelievable.

They literally took him to the joker stairs to record him dressed as Oscar the grouch to dance like joker for 3 seconds of footage Such dedication

Arguably the best sketch SLN has ever made!! It's perfection!!

need a full feature length for this.

Is it just me or does this actually look good?

I can’t believe everyone’s just sleeping on this cinematography, like damn!

Please make this a movie. Sincerely, The World

please my god someone fund the creation of this obvious masterpiece..

"And how does that make you feel?" "... Grouchy" Fantastic

This bit is gold. Not only is it shot just like Joker but the characters are so well realized and hilarious. Perfect Bert & Ernie. And it so weird how Oscar lined up with the Joker arch. Lol. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

That Bert impersonation was incredible. EERRNNIE!

I had to process the level of genius hat went into this. Bravo👏🏽

When he yelled,”Ernie....give it to him!!!” I died!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀💀💀

This movie deserves an Oscar. Get it?

David Harbor should be proud..... instant comedy classic SNL skit. One of the best SNL works ever, watching since the "70's. This is comedy gold. He knocked it out of the park. Always remember him in James Bond movies before his career skyrocketed.

This does not stop being funny

David Harbour singing to himself inside a trash can kills me. 😹😹😹

“Elmo didn’t sell no crack, you only arrest Elmo cause Elmo Mexican” I’m done 😂😂😂

I only just discovered this, and I literally can't stop watching it!!! By the way, did The Count remind anyone else of The Penguin? Maybe I'm crazy. XD

This is probably the best SNL sketch in at least 20 years.

This is not the Sesame Street Movie we deserve... It’s the one we need.

This is seriously one of the most brilliant, wackadoo things ever and one of the best SNL sketches in *years*!

SNL is legally obligated to make a parody to the sequel teaser next time David harbour is on the show

One of the greatest parodies SNL has made in a while.

"Elmo Innocent. Elmo didn't sell no crack" 😂😂😂

1. This sketch is amazing and 2. I need this song on Spotify now.

hearing bert say "hell no bitch" is all ive ever needed

One of the best sketches. David Harbour kills it.

The Burt and Ernie scene in the alley was gold.😂

The minor key Sesame Street theme really seals the deal for this being one of the greatest snl skits

"Did we really need a dark take on Oscar the Grouch?" Yes. Yes, we did.

1:28 Best Soundtrack.

Bert: *in genuine pain* ERNIIIIIEEEE audience: *laughs*

When he starts singing a minor key, raspy voiced "Sunny Days", I completely lost it...

Pure genius!!! Made me smile, big time. Ty.

One of the best SNL sketches of all time

Am I the only one who would actually watch this movie
