Saturday Night Live [1] put an unexpected spin on the new thriller Joker [2] during its Oct. 12 episode. With all the buzz surrounding the film [3], an SNL sketch was inevitable. We just didn't know it would involve a mashup of the clown-inspired character and . . . Sesame Street [4].

Yep, host David Harbour assumes the role of Oscar the Grouch as the skit details his journey from being a garbage man to becoming "the Grouch," who resides in a trash bin. "If everyone calls you trash and everyone treats you like trash, why don't you just become trash?" he says before singing a haunting rendition of Sesame Street's theme song, "Sunny Days." Oddly enough, it looks like it could be a real movie, though we're not sure if we need a full-fledged Oscar the Grouch drama. This hilariously chilling sketch will suffice.
