WASHINGTON — Never let it be said 鈥淪esame Street鈥� doesn鈥檛 know what鈥檚 up.
Fresh off a of the Oscar-winning film “Birdman,” the PBS children鈥檚 show has released a parody of 鈥淗ouse of Cards鈥� in advance of the release of Season 3 of the Netflix hit. Entitled 鈥淗ouse of Bricks,鈥� the 鈥淪esame Street鈥� video details 鈥淔rank Underwolf鈥� laying waste to two of the Three Little Pigs鈥� houses before getting his comeuppance.
It鈥檚 got all the trademarks: Southern-drawling speeches to the audience, text messages and ruthless ambition, along with basic subtraction for the kids, and side jokes about official Washington to keep the parents involved. (Actually, since there鈥檚 probably not a whole lot of overlap between the 鈥淪esame Street鈥� and 鈥淗ouse of Cards鈥� audiences, it鈥檚 far to wonder whom this is really for.)
Oh, whatever. It鈥檚 cute as heck. Via :
And the man himself approves:
Think the kids cant get in on ? Not anymore! House of Bricks with . How brilliant!
