Oscar the Grouch's living situation is basically aspirational now. "You can afford to live in a trash can all by yourself? Like, no roommates or anything? Wow!"

Oh man, a lid? I don't think I can afford this place.

Have you never seen the inside of Oscar's trash can? That place is a palace. He's got an olympic size swimming pool in it. He also has an ice skating rink and a bowling alley.
