Sesame Street viewers were debating Thursday whether Grover on the children's show swears during an episode.

The person starting the thread by asking people to view the offending clip, dubbed the debate the next Yanny or Laurel, in reference to the viral auditory illusion that got the world talking in May.

'May have just found next 'Yanni or Laurel' soundbite thanks to my daughter's obsession with Elmo,' user Schrodert posted. 

'Listen once thinking Grover says "Yes, yes, that's a f**king excellent idea" then again KNOWING he actually says "Yes, yes, that sounds like an excellent idea." I hear either based on what I'm thinking.'

Many agreed that either could be heard depending on what you expect to hear.

One user commented: 'I couldn't hear the non-swearing version until I was looking at the sentence in the title, and now I can't hear the swearing until I read THAT as I'm listening! Stupid confused brain...bah!'

Another wrote: 'Yeah, at first I thought, "He's clearly saying f**king." but then I saw your comment and read along on the "clean" version and it completely disappeared. Brains are weird.' 

Some complained that once they heard the clean version they were no longer able to hear it the way they originally did.

'So weird. I can't for the life of me hear the swear anymore. Nor does it compute how I ever heard it,' a Redditer claimed. 

At least one viewer struggled to hear either line however, suggesting that it could just be a case of bad pronunciation. 

The action centers around discussing capturing a moment on a cell phone. Listen once and it sounds like 'Yes, yes, that's a f**king excellent idea'

'I have the worst mouth of anyone I know and I never heard f**king either. Sigh,' the Redditer posted. 'And believe me, I tried. Edit: gave it one more try and I heard it. I HEARD IT!!!!'

Those could easily heard both  began humble bragging, claiming only the super talented had the ability to hear the dialogue both ways.

'I can hear both versions, but I'm also ambidextrous,' a website user joked. Another added: 'I can hear both versions, but I am also a black belt in jiu jitsu.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
