'Elmo, it does me no great joy to inform you that due to recent cuts in government funding to PBS, you are no longer employed by Sesame Street Workshop. Elmo, you're being laid off,' a voice off-camera tells him.
'Just like that?' Elmo replies sadly in his high-pitched voice. 'Elmo's been working at Sesame Street for 32 years!'
Elmo is told that the Trump administration is cutting all arts and education funding.

Sesame Street Workshop is filthy rich. Don't waste a tear on poor put upon Elmo & Co.
PBS is fucking filthy rich. Who the fuck are these people kidding? Oh, I know, the R-E-T-A-R-D-S known as democrat voters. You think PBS is going to stop their donations drives once the government cheese runs out?
I thought Elmo got fired when his puppeteer friend was sticking his hand up other things besides Elmo.
"Letter of Recommendation" That line was pretty good.
In 2010 Carroll Spinney, the guy who plays Big Bird, was paid $314,000, and he was only the second highest paid Sesame street puppeteer.He's been doing it over 40 years.
From the YouTube comments (emphasis mine): "PBS receives 15% (a measly 422M of the Federal budget, basically a dollar per year per US citizen) of its funding from the federal government through the corporation for public broadcasting, this does not include the huge number of member station donations that are required to keep it going, donations that will inevitably need to be increased to sustain the station. Think about garnishing your wages by 15% and how that would impact you before bashing this video's message."
Yep, thought about it. Good thing Trump is cutting NEA and NPR to perhaps stop the garnishing of my wages at 28%. So much winning, I'll be tired of winning, but I'm no ways tired.
I'm happy to say, I don't know who Elmo is.
Sesame Street is now on HBO. Liberals are so fucking stupid!
Golly, just imagine how bad life would be in the inner cities had not Sesame Street taught them all how to read and write.
Isn't Elmo gay? Yet another reason for the usual chorus to dump on Trump.
