![]() ![]() ![]() Also questionable? Seeing Big Bird's violent side, holding a baseball bat and a hockey stick and saying, "Where's that witch? I'll fix her!" As an adult, it borders on nostalgic how easily Hamilton can slip back into that role, but as a child watching at the time, they're now scared that they'll see David roll down the street as a basketball. To David she threatens, "I'll turn you into a basketball, bounce, bounce, bounce, right into the basket!" Then threatens to turn Big Bird into a feather duster (presumably big enough, then, to dust your home in one fell swoop). The Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz boldly states that they haven't seen the last of her before disappearing, only to reappear and make it rain inside the store.

The Wicked Witch even disguises herself as a kind old lady, but nothing works until she politely and respectfully says "please." Once she has the broom back, she says, "I'm going to fly back to Oz as fast as lightning and never see Sesame Street again." She flies off, but ever the show-off she cries, "This is glorious! Look! No hands." The broom promptly falls again, and back into David's grasp, prompting David to start crying, not wanting to go through the whole thing again. After being electrocuted when she first tries to grab her broom, she spends the rest of the episode demanding the broom back. She first appears lurking at the side of the store, accompanied by a heavy metal riff. This broom belongs to the Wicked Witch of the West, and she wants it back. The episode begins with David ( Northern Calloway) stepping out of his store into a heavy, spooky wind, one that blows a broom out of the sky and into David's hands. Sources say that Big Bird and Elmo continued discussing police reform for several minutes before being disrupted by Cookie Monster, who incorrectly assumed that the letters ‘ACAB’ were short for ‘All Cookies Are Beautiful.’Īt press time, members of the Sesame Street community released a joint statement to say that, while generally they are accepting of all animals, they wanted to make one particular message loud and clear: “fuck pigs.What young Sesame Street viewers saw in that episode is a character that has haunted many a dream since she first appeared in 1939's The Wizard of Oz: The Wicked Witch of the West, played by Margaret Hamilton. There’s a word that actually does start with C! Community!” These numbers are completely arbitrary and do not reflect the needs of the community. Officers have quotas for activities like traffic stops or ticket citations. “A ‘quota’ is a numerical milestone that officers must meet over a period of time. “Oh, actually, Elmo, ‘quota’ starts with a Q, not a C,” added Big Bird, still nursing his wounds from the earlier police interaction. ![]() That’s why the second letter of the day is ‘C’, like the quotas that the police care more about than daddy’s rights!” The description was for a purple monster wearing a Hawaiian shirt, not a red monster wearing a tracksuit jacket. “Elmo’s daddy was stopped for a search while walking down the street with Elmo just because they thought he matched the description of a suspect in the area. “That’s right, Big Bird,” agreed Elmo, who’s father Louie had been the target of a stop-and-frisk procedure during the episode’s second act. ![]() “The first letter of the day is ‘A’, and it’s actually the third letter, too! Let’s list some words that start with A: words like accost, assault, arrest, and abuse, as in abuse of power, which the police on Sesame Street and all throughout our country are often guilty of!” “It’s time for the letter of the day! But today, we have a special treat, because there are actually four letters of the day today,” said Big Bird, who had been confronted by police officers on the corner of Sesame Street earlier in the episode for sleeping outside, despite trying to explain that his large nest was actually zoned as a residence and that he had proper documentation. NEW YORK - Breaking tradition with the usual format of having episodes sponsored by single letters, a bruised, exhausted-looking Big Bird announced to viewers that week’s episode of Sesame Street was “brought to you by the letters ‘ACAB.’” ![]()
