David Harbour Becomes Sesame Street's Oscar the Grouch in Creepy Joker-Inspired SNL Skit

Saturday Night Live [1] put an unexpected spin on the new thriller Joker [2] during its Oct. 12 episode. With all of 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 assumed the role of Oscar the Grouch as the skit detailed his journey from being a trashman to becoming "The Grouch," who resides in a rubbish 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.
