Oscar's Subtraction Show



 Oscar 's Subtraction Show  is a game show made up by  OSCAR THE GROUCH  that he shows off at his very own  trash can  on Sesame Street. So far, the game show has only appeared once, in Sesame Street episode 2571.

At the beginning of the episode, David, Maria, Hiroshi, & Shalon notice a sign on  Oscar 's  trash can , which says " Oscar  's Subtraction Show ". He has 4 chairs set up outside it, & tells them all to sit down as his show begins. Everyone is skeptical at 1st, but Hiroshi persuades them to give it a try. While they sit in the chairs, Oscar  plays bagpipes off-key, which bothers Maria & David so much that they walk away, leaving Hiroshi & Shalon, which, as he points out, is subtraction. Hiroshi applauds upon understanding what just happened, & compliments him on his creativity, especially when he sees the 4 chairs w/ 0 people in them. Oscar goes back into his  trash can  to play his bagpipes.
