If there was one cookie to rule them all, chances are Cookie Monster would be the one to make it -- and then eat it himself. That's exactly what happens in "Lord of the Crumbs," Sesame Street's latest pop culture parody, which takes a swing at J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
The Cookie Monster plays Gobble, the last known holder of the most powerful dessert recipe in Monster Earth. He must remember the recipe in order to bring cookies back to the land, but his own memory and lack of self control stand in the way.

Keep an eye out for dramatic guest appearances from a wizard who looks suspiciously like Gandalf the Grey and an oven that looks suspiciously like Mt. Doom.
Sesame Street even partnered with the original wizard, Ian McKellen, to promote the video. Looks like all you need are some manners in Middle Earth to get by Gandalf.
