Avenue Q Presents Grouch Trailer

This is a trailer of Avenue Q Presents Grouch. Almost all the dialogue and scenes are the same as the ones from the SNL Grouch skit. [We see footage of New York City, then we see Osmar and another garbageman working on some trash.]

Garbageman: Damn, that smells straight like ass.

[Osmar opens a trash can]

Osmar: I don’t know. I kind of like it.

Garbageman: Yeah? You like trash so much, why don’t you live in it?

Osmar: Why don’t you bite me?!

Garbageman: Damn, Osmar, why you such a grouch, man?

[Cut to narrative video]

Announcer: From the studio that brought you “Joker” and the twisted mind at Sesame Workshop, comes the next gritty antihero origin story.

[We then see Osmar talking to a therapist.]

Therapist: Why do you think you’re always in such a bad mood?

[Osmar is then seen walking through the streets of Avenue Q.]

Osmar: That ain’t me. Things are getting worse out there.
