Not only are the tweets from Sesame Street's ever hungry muppet, the renowned Cookie Monster, hilarious; but they're pretty damn relatable. I mean, who doesn't want to lie in bed all day working hard on doing nothing, while eating cookies? At least for a little bit.
Sesame Street
Unless you spent your waking childhood under a rock, not engaging with society and appreciating one of the greatest gifts to humanity, Sesame Street, you're likely well informed on the greatness that is Big Bird.

We've figured out why Donald Trump wants to tank PBS so badly
Everyone knows that that reality-TV gameshow host who is currently under investigation by the FBI for links with Russia knows how to hold a grudge. So it makes sense that he'd want to take on the station responsible for the most politically subversive road in America: Sesame Street.
Over the years, Sesame Street has fired shots at Trump, making him out to be some sort of cartoonish villain for some reason. In 2005, they did an Apprentice parody with an orange-haired muppet named Ronald Grump, the trash-wealthiest grouch in the world, who puts his name on every piece of trash in town.
That wasn't the first time Grump tried to move onto Sesame Street. In 1988, a real estate tycoon who promised multi-floord can-diminums for grouches set up shup in and built Grump Tower.
But apparently, Sesame Street wasn't content with the metaphorical distance of a felt puppet, and later recast Gump with none other than Joe Pesci.
