Did Grover from Sesame Street drop a F Bomb?

My lying ears hear Grover say ".. that sounds like an excellent idea".

No F bomb.

No F bomb.

It works both ways.

I heard sounds like an but gotta say "a fucking excellent" is way better.

Reminds me of Yanny / Laurel

McDermott also thinks visual cues may have played a part. “You would have noticed it had both the names appearing on the screen with no other context or information. This forces the brain to make a choice between those two alternatives.

“It is a compelling illusion and you can hear both those sounds either way.”

Yep, I can hear it. What's the alternative?

EDIT: Wait, people just hear "an" instead of "fucking"? What the fuck.

Who cares?

Good question, kolyaboo.

This thread's a "because it's there", I guess. People who actually care if a muppet swore when kids won't pick up on it really ought to watch Meet the Feebles.

Oh, right. I just clicked and watched the clip. Thanks for pointing that out, quite right. Nice graphics, is that MS Paint?

So basically, if no one told you beforehand what Grover was saying and you just watched the show, it's very likely you wouldn't hear anything but what is actually said: 'that sounds like an excellent idea'. But once you're told it MIGHT be 'that's a fuckin' excellent idea', you can definitely hear that too.

In the end, however, it can only be one, and given this is Sesame Fuckin' Street and not Sensimilla Street, it's pretty obvious which it is.

Is that because you are assuming it's an innocent Muppet that you don't hear it? Maybe it is similar to the Yanni thing.

But who cares!

Ahahah Sinsimilla Street, that was so badly done.
