All hail the only office we miss

9. Sesame Street
Big Bird, Bert and Ernie, Elmo, even that crazy motherfucker Cookie Monster pulled up to NPR in celebration of the franchise’s 50th anniversary two years ago. But their discrimination continues — Oscar the Grouch only briefly appears after the closing credits. More like Trashy Desk, amirite?
8. DJ Premier and The Badder Band
One of hip-hop’s most legendary producers scratching on a turntable while a live band plays instrumentals like Gang Starr’s “Moment of Truth” and Nas’ “Nas Is Like”? Inject this directly into our veins, please.
7. Masego
Aside from singing and playing the hell out of a saxophone, Masego had social media funnyman Renny stand in for him in the opening moments of his Tiny Desk concert. We still wanna know where dude got his sequined Michael Jackson glove.
6. Erykah Badu
A whole. Damn. Vibe.
