Oscar the Grouch’s living situation is basically aspirational now. “You can afford to live in a trash can all by yourself? Like, no roommates or anything? Wow!

Have you never seen the inside of Oscar’s trash can? That place is a palace. He’s got an olympic size swimming pool in it. He also has an ice skating rink and a bowling alley.

(FYI it’s an unnecessary censorship, so possibly NSFW.)
