5	Good Morning, Sesame Street!
6
7	Given that ''Sesame Street'' is one of the longest-running and most popular kids' shows on American television, it should come as no surprise that it has been referenced and parodied in a wide plethora of media over its 50+ year existence.

11	[[folder:Advertising]]
12	* A commercial for the Delta Touch 2.0 faucet features the "Hands" song as sung by Count von Count as the background music.
13	* In a similar spirit, for some reason "The Song of the Count" underscored [[https://vimeo.com/163293570 a Toyota commercial]].
14	* The ''Sesame Street'' Muppet characters have appeared alongside Daveed Diggs in commercials for the [=DoorDash=] food delivery service. A minute-long commercial is set to the updated version of "The People in Your Neighborhood", and the 30-second teaser features Cookie Monster and Diggs reading books in their apartment together before a large quantity of food (which of course, includes [[TrademarkFavoriteFood milk and cookies]]) is delivered to it.
15	* ''Sesame Street'' Muppet characters have appeared in commercials for Farmers insurance tying in with the show's 50th anniversary. These include Grover unsuccessfully attempting to repair Mr. Johnson's water heater ([[EpicFail resulting in the heater going off like a rocket and landing on Mr. Johnson's car]]), and Count von Count counting to One after finding his monocle, resulting in his riding mower being struck by lightning (ItMakesSenseInContext).
16	* Cookie Monster appears in a March 2016 commercial for the iPhone 6s called "Timer", in which he interacts with Siri. While baking cookies in a kitchen, he asks Siri to set a timer for his cookies. Music/JimCroce's "Time in a Bottle" plays over the ad.
17	* A 1997 commercial for K-Mart (most notably shown during the network broadcast premiere of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1'' on ABC during the first night of the revival of The Wonderful World Of Disney) had the characters and Rosie O'Donnell sing about getting dressed, promoting a Sesame Street clothing line sold at the store.
