The one where 'Sesame Street' parodies 'Friends' to celebrate Father's Day

Sesame Street puppets sit on the iconic 'Friends' couch, in front of the fountain.

Sesame Street is honoring both fathers and Friends, with a new parody of the '90s sitcom's theme song.

The 2-minute jam is peppered with Friends references: a creative rendition of 'Smelly Cat', a puppet donning Joey's Thanksgiving turkey hat, and a callback to Ross's "pivot!" are amongst the best. Brightly-colored replicas of Monica and Rachel's apartment (that purple door!), the iconic fountain, and Central Perk serve as backdrops, sparking instant nostalgia for any die-hard fan. But the magic of this Sesame Street parody lies in the lyrics, which are adorably molded to tell a story about fathers and kids, speaking to the care provided and the bond that is shared.

"Could there BE anything better than being a dad?" one character asks. A perfect Chandler Bing quip, and a great way to celebrate Father's Day.

How to watch: Sesame Street is streaming on HBO Max.
