Cookie Monster in ‘Lord Of The Crumbs’
Part 2 of The Hobbit movie (or, as I call it, “there and back again and again and again”) hits theaters soon.

Tom Hiddleston teaches Cookie Monster about Delayed Gratification

It’s not clear that this is a Sesame Street thing since it’s from the PBS YouTube channel. There’s also this weird camera angle switching; every time they do it, the clip changes from color to black and white. Not the typical Sesame Street style. That said, it’s a video of Tom Hiddleston discussing the concept of self-control with Cookie Monster, and it’s only two minutes long. You’ve wasted more time than that on videos that are far less worthy. Check it out, right here, right now. You are burdened with glorious purpose.
