The Power Rangers Vs Cookie Monster Fan Video Is The Goriest Thing You'll See Today

This article contains descriptions of extreme violence

To find yourself between Cookie Monster and his favorite sugary treat is to court death itself. Well, maybe not on PBS' "Sesame Street," where the fuzzy little guy is cuddlier than the average monster, but it's the premise of an online fan video making waves on TikTok. Created by Racka Racka (a YouTube channel with a disturbing number of violent Cookie Monster videos) and shared most recently by morningcoffeecomedy, the — significantly shortened — clip shows two poor souls who thought bringing cookies to their picnic in the park was a good idea.

The moment one of them breaks open their Subway baggie, Cookie Monster barrels into the frame and tackles the unsuspecting pair. His fists fly as he attempts to wrestle the cookies away from them. Suddenly, the Green, Red, and Pink Power Rangers show up to serve and protect. Green proclaims, "I'll send your a** back to Sesame Street!" with more confidence than maybe his skills deserve because, almost immediately, Cookie Monster literally tears the Power Rangers apart.

Cookie Monster breaks Red's leg, then rips the ranger's head off with his bare hands. He gets his little blue grippers on Pink's arm, which detaches with a sickening squelch. Green watches in horror as the Cookie Monster bludgeons Pink with his own detached limb. But the last ranger standing does not escape punishment. Cookie Monster clobbers him with such force that Green's ranger mask flies into the sky. Green tries to teleport back to base, but Cookie Monster wants to try out his Bane impression, and the clip ends with Green's back connecting with Cookie Monster's knee. The knee wins.

Racka Racka's clash between Cookie Monster and the Power Rangers is obviously a low-budget parody crafted with love for abject silly chaos, but it also kind of references an old running bit from "Sesame Street" called the "Super Mega Morphin Monsters," which is itself a parody of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers." The adorable fever dream sees Elmo, Zoe, Telly, and Rosita become superheroes — just like the Power Rangers. Elmo becomes Elmosaurus, Zoe becomes Zoeceratops, Telly becomes Telly Dactyl, and Rosita becomes Rosita Raptor. No, they do not transform to resemble dinosaurs, but they don cute matching outfits while a copyright-safe version of the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" electric guitar riff plays.

Instead of fighting crime, the Super Mega Morphin Monsters fight bad behavior. One such instance sees the foursome teach a pair of young Muppets to share their toy truck because sharing leads to more fun than bickering. And their methods, unlike Cookie Monster's, do not involve dismemberment. Turns out, talking does the trick just fine. So maybe the big blue doofus should just ask nicely next time. Or perhaps we should embrace Cookie Monster's violent tendencies, considering how "Sesame Street" is darker than everyone thinks.
