Sesame Street is fucking strange.
A programme which is basing stuff around programmes no kid will probably know about and films that are rated 15 and higher, i saw a Birdman spoof the other day featuring Big Bird, what the fluck?

It isn't that strange, if you consider the adults involved.
First, it's probably much more fun to make a spoof of some gritty show, than churning out some more saccharine kids crap. Also, it's an easier idea to come up with... "Why don't we Sesame Street-ize X this week?" where X can be literally anything.
Also, consider the parents. If they're watching a bit of telly with their kids, they're much more likely to enjoy something like this. For parents who care, and limit their kids TV watching, this is the kind of thing that puts a show on the allowed-viewing list.
