One of the most enduring thing about the wonderful children’s TV show, Sesame Street, is that it’s never failed to attract amazing celebrities to come along and interact with the characters. In one episode, actor Julia Louis-Dreyfus accidentally lets out a not-very-child-friendly word, causing little Elmo to suggest a penance.

Someone called @moodvintage shared the clip on Twitter.

Twitter user Anthony Oliveira noticed that Julia must have been feeling particularly profane that day.

At five dollars per swear word, they should have Gordon Ramsay on – they could solve the national debt.
