We can't think of two entities more polar opposite than the Muppets of Sesame Street and the women of The Real Housewives franchise.

But thanks to the hilariously adorable parody "The Real Grouches of Sesame Street," the two meet in the best way possible.

In the first installment of the series, we meet Oscar, Grundgetta, Diva GarbageDump, and outsider Grover. We're also greeted with sassy, grouchy taglines fit for a real Housewives veteran.

The parody is completely on point

We can't imagine the Muppets ever being mean to one another, but the parody is completely on point. Everything from the music to the confessionals satisfies our Housewives obsession.

The series continues with the Annual Grouch Talent Show--the perfect place for juicy, Housewives hijinks. At GarbageDump's new restaurant, the FUR Lounge, Grudgetta wants to perform a take on a The Real Housewives of New York Countess Luann classic appropriately titled "Money Can't Buy You Trash."

GarbageDump who is, of course, carrying a small dog, is not ready for Grudgetta to have all eyes on her, so first she wants to debut her new single "Pretty Messy," a take on the Erika Jayne hit "Pretty Mess." The situation may as well have been instrumented by Andy Cohen himself.

In part three, GarbageDump has a grouchy run-in with her waiter, Grover, over an inventory problem in the kitchen. Now you can imagine how well that ended for poor, innocent Grover ...

A guilty pleasure that's educational, too? We're here for it. We can't wait for Bravo to order another season.
