Video: Sookie Hits 'Sesame Street' as 'True Blood' Becomes 'True Mud'

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 23rd 2010 10:45AM

'Sesame Street' spoofs of popular TV shows can be counted on for both their incredible attention to detail and their fantastic educational lessons. The new season's spoof of HBO's hit vampire series 'True Blood' is no exception.

'True Mud' forgoes all of the series' over-the-top sex and violence for a cleaner snapshot of Merlotte's, with a Sookie Stackhouse look-and-soundalike waiting on a Bill Compton-esque patron desperate for some real mud. Anna Paquin would be proud as her corresponding Muppet gets the order wrong at first, offering up a potato ('True Spud'), then another local comes in with his busted watch (a 'True Dud'). There are more rhymes to follow.

Leave it to the 'Sesame Street' geniuses to get even the look and feel of the incredible 'True Blood' credit sequence down, complete with hogs getting dirty while a spoof of Jace Everett's 'Bad Things' plays in the background. It's really too much to believe so watch it here and let it take your mind off this week's Katy Perry-Sesame Boob Gate.

Some other great 'Sesame Street' spoofs for shows currently on the air:

'30 Rocks'

'Mad Men'

'Special Letters Unit'

Great, will the parody also feature little puppet boobies and simulated puppet sex? I guess these are supposed to entertain the parents stuck watching, but I think it's a bad idea. When I was watching Sesame Street they didn't do parodies of R rated material.

No offense, but you must be lying. Because back in the eighties Seseme Street spoofed Miami Vice And that was very adult. Also ever Dracula movie since the fifties has been R rated and what do you call Count Von Count?!

No offense, but you must be stupid. I was done watching Sesame Street by the mid 70's.

A parody of that movie for pre-schoolers? Sesame Street sure has changed since I watched it in 1970 and then my child in the 90's. My future grandkids? I don't know. At any rate I do love Public Television.

By acheapmom

Parodies of teen & adult shows are obviously aimed at the parents.

That said, any specific parody might be well written, tastefully suited to preschoolers, and might actually...teach valuable things....

But who is the REAL target audience of Ses Street?

(PS I didn't have my kids watch much. Too much of the too fast flashcard setup. And I got tired of the mostly male emphasis of Sesame Street (of the 90s anyway). Seemed to be acted by mostly males and about mostly males...who sometimes even voiced the female parts!!! You'd never know women took up half the population!

My Goodness Sesame Street! What were you thinking? Who authorized this type of programming? Did you really think this was going to make it to the Networks? There was so much "Cleveland" showing...I thought the "Cavaliers" were going to pop out at any time! SHEESH!

Do any of you 'wise parents' actually watch Sesame street or ever did for that matter?

Count Von Count = Parody of Count Dracula, one of the scariest movie monsters ever.

Miami Mice = Spoof from the eighties of Miami Mice that turned up... a lot.

'U' stand by me = had the man singing Stand By me chased by the letter U

Beetles Letter B had literal Beetles singing about the letter be instead of Let it be.

There are several old Sam Spade style noir detective spoofs. And Monster Piece theatre.

Am I the only one who remembers these spoofs!? Why the Heck is true Mud considered so much worse? Get a grip and try to ACTUALLY remember your childhoods before acting like lemmings diving off a cliff. The mob mentality is sickening and a very bad example for children. What would Jim Henson think?! Shame on all of you who are condemning this. Shame on you. You don't remember your own childhoods and panic at everything.

Its quite funny seeing as only today in the news Sesame Street trashed Katy Perry's skit on the show because what she wore was "too much for children." And yet they make spoofs of shows children have no business watching. Kinda hypocritical there.

By starkman88

we can knock off Mad Men and True Blood but we can't have Katy Perry wearing a wedding dress...nice standards ;)

By yaddayaddayadda

I understand people not wanting their children to see Katy Perry in her low cut dress, butthink about it who decided she should wear this? No it wasn't her pick. The people on the show who dress the actors the stylists decided what she should wear. It wasnt as bad as its being portrayed. a little low cut but it was the publicists choice the stylists choice not hers.

the PORNIFICATION of America...plain and simple. Liberal morons who promote this stuff should be sent to prison for aiding to the delinquency of minors

By Sarah

Showing a woman dressed provocatively trains children that it is "cool", or "cool." "True Mud," since it excludes the R-rated elements, does not teach children anything inappropriate

The religious right is starting to rear its wacko head again. Yet their hero is a dimwit who quits on the people of Alaska and is so busy watching Russia that her teenage age daughter gets knocked up. All this shows that stupidity didn't die when George Bush left office. It is alive and well in the Republican party.
