A deceptively simple conversation between two Sesame Street muppets has the Twittersphere in a frenzy. Has our beloved childhood friend Grover been corrupted?
Sometimes it takes a meme to remind us there is no universal human experience. We may hear “Laurel” and be 100 percent secure in our interpretation of those sound waves, but someone else hears “Yanny” and theyll swear on all that is holy that theyre correct.
Surely both sides cant be right?
the new Yanni v. Laurel? — some people swear they hear Grover saying, "that's a f**king excellent idea."

We all love to watch our beloved childhood entertainers fall from grace. Whats more fun than a sweet innocent childs character with the mouth of a sailor?
whats the other option, because all i hear is him cursing.

Others disagree – Grover is pure as the driven snow, and its Twitter users who have the dirty minds.
He says "yes, yes, that sounds like an excellent idea". I don't know where you people get this stuff from but pretty sure it's just to stir up mess.

You must be drunk” Yes yes that sounds like a excellent idea”

Some people take the opportunity to try to understand another persons point of view.
Look, I hear it now that you explained it, and in fact, I can't hear it the other way any more. But before? I didn't even know what else it could be.

Others try to explain the phenomenon with science theyve invented specifically for the occasion…
If you listen to it with your phone normally held in your hand at a distance, it 100% sounds like “fucking excellent idea”. However, if you put the speaker to your ear, you can clearly hear “sounds like an excellent idea”. Fun stuff.

The problem is simple, when you put your smartphone close to your ear it's clear he doesn't swear. An Audio illusion of some sort. Now the distance from the TV to the couch is about 10 feet.

I have a hearing problem in one year.
Bad ear: "That's a fucking excellent idea".
Good ear: "that sounds like an excellent idea".
