The Count is going to start teaching kids about corporate profits. "One billion extra dollars untaxed! Ha ha hah! 2 billion..."

Oscar the Grouch is going to be a working homeless who is forced to move his can every week by police.

Oscar the Grouch's living situation is basically aspirational now. "You can afford to live in a trash can all by yourself? Like, no roommates or anything? Wow!"

Oh man, a lid? I don't think I can afford this place.

Have you never seen the inside of Oscar's trash can? That place is a palace. He's got an olympic size swimming pool in it. He also has an ice skating rink and a bowling alley.

A veritable Snoopy house

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

considering his trashcan is basically a TARDIS.... I'd take it.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 18 points 1 year ago

I think he has a few roommates actually 😂

Count explaining tax brackets would actually be kinda funny

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

I don’t think he’d explain. What, ah, do you think he’s talking about here, huh?

(FYI it’s an unnecessary censorship, so possibly NSFW.)

He's clearly explaining his love of perusing and discussing classified documents.
