Waxman Staff Writer Feb 23, 2015 8:57 PM UTC _Sesame Street_’s latest pop-culture send-up is [pegged](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92NXMtVtv8o) to the premiere of _House of Cards_. Inspired by the “Three Little Pigs,” Kevin Spacey’s character, the conniving South Carolina Congressman turned President Frank Underwood, is played by a wolf named Frank Underwolf who blows down the houses of little pigs to teach subtraction. The pig theme is also quite appropriate given Underwood’s love of barbecue ribs and Congress’s penchant for pork (historically). Of course, the irony here is that the Netflix show is too dark for _Sesame Street_’s audience, unless we count parents. Season 3 of _House of Cards_ will be available for streaming on Feb. 27. _Read next:_ [_Watch_ ](http://time.com/3543616/sesame-street-harry-potter-parody/?xid=time%5Freadnext)[Sesame Street_’_ _s Magical_ Harry Potter _Parody_](http://time.com/3543616/sesame-street-harry-potter-parody/?xid=time%5Freadnext) [_Listen to the most important stories of the day._](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/?sl%5Fautoplay=true&xid=spl-fullbrief-article) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3719362/house-of-cards-sesame-street-parody/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3719362/house-of-cards-sesame-street-parody/"},"headline":"Watch Sesame Street’s Spot-On House of Cards Parody","datePublished":"2015-02-23T20:57:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:17:08.085Z","description":"Inspired by the story of the 'Three Little Pigs'","url":"https://time.com/3719362/house-of-cards-sesame-street-parody/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrity"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
