Cookie Monster Spoofs Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Maybe' — Watch

Sesame Street’s most infamous sugar addict puts his own spin on Carly Rae’s hit with ‘Share It Maybe.’

Apparently, the internet’s philosophy towards “Call Me Maybe” parodies is a lot like Cookie Monster‘s philosophy towards cookies: There’s always room for one more! And so, the brilliant minds at the Children’s Television Workshop have delivered their own hilarious spoof, featuring Cookie Monster, as he begs an office full of people to share their snacks. (Yeah, he’s one of those co-workers.)

But, while this song is undoubtedly catchy and adorable, it’s also somewhat disturbing. We’ve always known that Cookie Monster has a soft spot for baked goods, but the lyrics in this new spoof also shine a spotlight on the horrific truth we’ve all chosen to overlook for decades: Cookie Monster is addicted to cookies, and it’s becoming a very serious problem.

I’ve taken the liberty of collecting Cookie Monster’s five most troubling lyrics:

1. “Me trade me soul for a bite.” (He is no longer able to distinguish the value of cookies.)
2. “Me start to really freak out.” (He’s openly admitting to having withdrawal symptoms.)
3. “Me trying to sleep all night.” (His addiction is now affecting his sleeping habits.)
4. “It’s taking toll on me house.” (His home, and quality of life, are also being affected.)
5. “It’s hard to look at you snack baby.” (He can’t even make eye contact with his suppliers.)

If this isn’t a cry for help, I don’t know what is. So, now we have a choice on our hands: Are we going to sit idly by, as Cookie Monster eats himself into an early grave, or are we going to come together and get this misguided Muppet the help he so desperately deserves?

Think about that while you watch:

Cookie Monster is ready to take the next step in his career… he’s auditioning to host SNL! As our favorite blue, cross-eyed friend says, “Help Cookie Monster take this viral!”

This is one of the best Sesame Street videos we have ever seen! Cookie Monster is sick of being known as a “cookie eating fanatic,” or as he prefers to be called, “cookie enthusiast!” So, he decided to make a personalized audition tape for the writers of SNL! “There’s more to me… and me want to show the world,” he explains. “Next logical step — hosting Saturday Night Live!” We must say, his audition is awesome — he deserves to be the next celebrity host! We need Facebook fans to get behind this one, cause if Betty White can do it, so can Cookie Monster!

Neil Patrick Harris has ‘sole’ on Sesame Street!

Cookie Monster has taken the usual hour and a half episode of SNL and chopped it down to a four-minute segment! And it’s brilliant! First he does his host monologue about cookies, blah, blah, cookies and then he stars in a sketch called “Macarooner” — where he plays both characters and eats an entire “quickie-bake oven”! Then he plays the anchor for “Fake News” and discusses the ill fate of Dough Boy, who got baked! Finally he introduces the musical guest Monster Gaga, who sings her lovely ballad “Cookie Face!”

So everyone, help Cookie Monster take this video viral and watch it below — it’s absolutely hilarious!
