Grover Said the F-Word on Sesame Street?

[ksoze]

First observed by J.D. Durkin (on Twitter, at least), it would seem we have a full Yanny and Laurel situation on our hands, meaning that what you hear might depend in part on your device and/or speakers situation. For what it’s worth, we heard Grover let loose with an explicit f-bomb twice…then never again. You can go ahead and listen for yourself below. Either way, at least there’s one thing we can all agree on: Yanny and Laurel would make for some very, very cute new muppet names.

1. So, if it's supposed to be a yanny/laurel ...

... thing, what are some hearing Grover say besides “that’s a fucking excellent idea”?

2. "That sounds like an excellent idea"

I can hear it both ways via the cheap built-in speakers on my Chromebook.

7. What are you hearing between

A and excellent?

In other words, a 2-syllable word (and the corresponding head motion) can't just vanish. What are you hearing in it's place?

3. "that sounds like an excellent idea"

4. It's supposedly "that sounds like an excellent idea"

Given that, this show is prerecorded, why didn’t they catch that?

5. But what color is his hat?

6. i've heard it both ways...

it is just a trick of the way the syllables run together but he clearly don't say the F-word

8. Well the context certainly is when someone would use the F word

Sounded like it to me.

9. Handed my iPad to my wife (head rocks back) "There is no doubt he said it"

Just saying
