Did you know that Rob Reiner and Nora Ephron's classic romcom is actually a parable about waiting your turn?

No? Well, that's the angle of this delightful new When Harry Met Sally parody, brought to you by the brilliant minds at "Crumby Pictures" -- a.k.a. Sesame Street.

The clip offers a truncated version of Harry that focuses mostly on spoofing the original's iconic Katz's Deli scene. In this variation, Cookie is a hungry, impatient Billy Crystal stand-in who has to learn about proper line etiquette from Muppet Sally, in a perfectly feathered Meg Ryan wig. The bit even ends with an echo of the movie's most famous line: "I'll have what she's having."

For comparison's sake, here's the original.
