A viral online video imagines lovable “Sesame Street” character Elmo getting fired due to budget cuts to PBS.
The video shows an unseen man delivering the news to Elmo in a nondescript room. Elmo doesn’t take the news well, complaining that he’s worked at “Sesame Street” for 32 years. He also wonders what’s going to happen to his medical insurance, given that he has a pre-existing condition.
The man suggests Elmo take pictures with tourists in New York’s Times Square for his next job.
Elmo isn’t the only “Sesame Street” character laid off in the scenario, the man mentions Cookie Monster and Telly have also been let go.
President Donald Trump’s proposed budget seeks to eliminate funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which helps fund PBS.

Gets the message across so well, especially the ending.
Bravo! Mantan sad.
That is so poignant. Makes me want to cry. Me love Elmo!!!

DONALD GRUMP MUST GO. NOT ELMO.
If you think that’s bad…get a load of this to top it off.
This Grump moniker is gonna stick, it has legs, because its a fact, a stubborn fact that won’t be done away with by GRUMP’s propaganda or his Russian bots. The man is literally going after children and kittens now. I shit you not.
