Video: Sesame Street tackles House of Cards in charming and funny parody

No pig is safe with Frank Underwolf around

No pig is safe with Frank Underwolf around.

We’ve waited a long time, but we’ll finally be reminded of all the reasons we love House of Cards when the third season of the show returns to Netflix this week. Catch the latest trailer here.

We also love all things Sesame Street so we have a whole lot of time for a combination of the two in House of Bricks, a parody that examines what the Three Little Pigs might have had to put up with if a wolf that’s just like Frank Underwood was hanging around.

The way that the parody covers various quirks of the show – the opening sequence, Frank’s monologues to camera, the way in which text messages are displayed etc. – is very well done.

If Season Three follows what happens here, however, then we worry for Frank Underwood, we really do.
