The stunning season three finale of the AMC drama Mad Men aired on November 8, 2009, with an episode that managed to be sad and happy at the same time. Sesame Street is celebrating its 40th anniversary of programming. These two unrelated shows come together in a Sesame Street parody about emotions and Mad Men.

The parody of of Mad Men on Sesame Street manages to be humorous and educational, as it teaches children about emotions, including being mad, sad and happy.

While adults can enjoy the parody of the 1960's advertising men whose emotions are nearly always under wraps, children can see examples of happy and sad emotions.
