Leave it to Sesame Street to draw parallels between 'House of Cards' and 'The Three Little Pigs' in a fun parody the show has aptly titled 'House of Bricks.' In it, Frank Underwolf is set on taking over the House of Bricks, which is cleverly designed to look like the White House. Yet he has to destroy the House of Straw and House of Sticks to get to it.
A fun take on the fairy tale and the Netflix Original drama, House of Bricks teaches kids that being ruthless isn't all that it is cut out to be. After all, the pigs win in the end. The parody also shows that cross-promotion can happen even in the most unlikely places.
