A mashup of a Sesame Street Count clip with a Lemon Demon song, where the swear words are censored in absurd ways. It is a short comedy piece about censorship.

Brought up in censorship threads as a joke and as a canonical example of censorship that changes the meaning of the original.

I've always considered this video the canonical example of intentionally misleading censorship: ▶ this video

I love a good swear as much of any of you mangy pissflaps, but here's a gold example of how implied rudeness can be funny too. ▶ this video
