Potto from Sesame Tree
Oscar's Cousins and others
US Sesame Street: A New York neighborhood. Pretty standard.
Irish Sesame Street: A hollow tree. Makes sense.
Dutch Sesame Street: <Incense and Peppermints starts playing in the distance>
Seriously... that’s not for a specific sketch. That’s just... what its like there.
Dutch children get to learn and grow while confronting the meaninglessness of context and the absurdity of existence, I guess.

Muppet Fact #211
Sesame Tree, Northern Ireland's Sesame Street co-production, was almost never created. The project was a goal since 2004, but was only actualized in 2007. This is thanks to donations from organizations like the American Ireland Fund and the Northern Ireland Fund for Reconciliation.

The fact that Northern Ireland has its own Sesame Street called Sesame Tree is absolutely sending me!
Hearing my family's accents come out of a Muppet is just ... Oh. My. God.
