Melissa McCarthy Is Getting Sued By Sesame Street For Making A Puppet Cum In The Trailer For Her New Movie

Source –  As far as most of us are concerned, Sesame Street puppets don’t have bodily fluids like blood and semen. They are made of felt and giant hugs. And the show’s producers are willing to take legal action to defend that position.

The Happytime Murders, which carries the tagline “NO SESAME, ALL STREET,” believes quite the opposite, however. The “puppet crime comedy” about a private detective puppet and a Detective (Melissa McCarthy) who team up together to track down a serial killer features violent Sesame-esque puppets that allegedly aren’t afraid to ejaculate. 

This week, Sesame Workshop, producer of the educational series, filed a lawsuit against STX Productions, Happytime’s producers, arguing that audiences are likely to confuse the brand with the movie and that the movie tarnishes the brand’s reputation.

“Defendants do not own, control or have any right to use the SESAME STREET mark. Instead, they are distributing a trailer that deliberately confuses consumers into mistakenly believing that Sesame is associated with, has allowed, or has even endorsed or produced the movie and tarnishes Sesame’s brand.”

Puppets getting drunk and acting out of control…where have I heard of this before? Oh that’s right, Ted One, Two, and Three. Although there wasn’t any cum so maybe that’s why Wahlberg was able to get away with it. I’m sure the outrage would’ve been there if Ted blew his load all over his human counterparts face. Then again, it probably wouldn’t have been as graphic. I kept waiting for it to happen to thinking I was going to miss it. Jokes on me.

They must’ve had a C02 canister attached to his prostate because he almost broke the glass. Poor PA probably went through fifteen cans of silly string to get the shot right.

Anyway, as much as I want to side with Henson and the Sesame Street crew I can’t. Especially after the producers had one of the puppets issue a gigantic fuck you to the PC puppet patrol:

Fred, Esq., a puppet from the film, responded in a statement:

“STX loved the idea of working closely with Brian Henson and the Jim Henson Company to tell the untold story of the active lives of Henson puppets when they’re not performing in front of children.  Happytime Murders is the happy result of that collaboration and we’re incredibly pleased with the early reaction to the film and how well the trailer has been received by its intended audience. While we’re disappointed that Sesame Street does not share in the fun, we are confident in our legal position.  We look forward to introducing adult moviegoers to our adorably unapologetic characters this summer.”

Let them live, Henson. If you don’t like the movie then roll over in your grave. Besides, it’s not like the adult man-children who actually enjoy Muppets are going to see this movie. You’re not going to lose an audience. If anything this will bring in a new crowd. Which is exactly what Sesame Street needs; a rebrand. Doesn’t matter if its puppets or people, fucking moves the needle. Always has, always will. So keep snorting glitter, Melissa. Don’t let the haters and prudes get you down. Looking forward to seeing my first puppet porn this summer.
