He was on Sesame Street as well, which has really bad ramifications when you discuss connected universes.

Sesame Street was based on 60’s/70’s Harlem, so its original intent was to maintain a footing in the real world.

The reason they pulled the plug and made Mr. Snuffalupagus able to be seen by everyone is very SVU.

Mr. Snuffie was ALWAYS able to be seen by everyone. He wasn't invisible, he just had bad timing, and after 15 years of people basically gaslighting Big Bird the writers decided to get rid of the whole lesson of "sometimes adults won't believe the truth no matter how distressed their disbelief makes you".
