The Bird Flu one was their first one and the jokes were terribly obvious. Plus, they were like the 5th or 6th out of 20 "Big Bird has the Bird Flu because that's the only cartoon Bird ever." I mean, seriously... where was a cartoon about Sylvester being disgusted by Tweety at that time? Much more clever.

I did like Cookie Monster's "Me compulsive eater" line.

It really seems the middle of the sketches were much better on every level. Heck, the Trump episode even made a subtle reference that only the die hardest of Muppet fans would get. His hair piece was performed as an impersonation of Ivy Austin's loud singing voice. Now that is well researched.

Is this appearance available anywhere? I still don't understand why SNL removed it from their YT channel, yet they still have all of these other vids they've posted still up, such as the parody of Palin's speech and Trump's campaign rally in Iowa;.
