Big Bird loses a contest Sesame Street : Season 9 Episode 116

Maria hangs out on the stoop reading, when Oscar yells at her to beat it. She gets an idea to switch roles so Oscar can experience what it's like to put up with someone like him on the block. They imagine such a scenario, where Oscar is a neatly-dressed, friendly individual and Maria is the local Grouch. After the fantasy, Maria hopes Oscar has learned something about treating others the way he'd like to be treated. Instead, he wishes Maria would yell at him like in his imagination.
