'Sesame Street loves parodying popular culture that children don't understand' - has this still been happening in more recent years? Have they toned it down or otherwise tweaked the practice at all?

fluffy - 2015-02-02 oh and don't forget their Twin Peaks pastiche, "Twin Beaks." That one was downright creepy (and hilarious).

fluffy - 2015-02-02 "Twin Beaks" also gets double parody points because it was presented as a segment of "Monsterpiece Theatre" which in turn is a parody of Masterpiece Theatre. So yeah, they've always done this and they will continue to do this.

EvilHomer - 2015-02-03 > It's how you're introduced to references, by BEING INTRODUCED TO REFERENCES.
Right, so Sesame Street is to blame for postmodernism and hipsters.
That's not a good thing.

And "references" doesn't mean quipping quotes as one-liners. It means recognizing allusions to other people, works, and culture.
If you get any more cynically obtuse, you're going to need a knitted scarf, Clark Kent glasses and a trilby.
