He’s not technically a Muppet, but there is a certain wildebeest newscaster that can kick all their asses.
Actually, I love Cookie, Oscar, and Grover (especially Super Grover). Oscar was spectacular as a guest in the Mob on “1 vs 100.”
About that Colbert interview… How to put this… Cookie sounded a bit like Bob .
He could always join Al Qaeda.
(scrunches up face, flails arms about wildly) WOULD YOU GET OUT OF HERE?!?..
26! 26 years old! Ah ha ha ha
Statler and Waldorf. They rule. Beaker comes in second.
Ah man, you beat me to posting that. That is a really funny article…
I was busting up when I first read that.
Cookie Monster does get some good lines. My 2 year old son is big time in to Sesame Street, and I’ve been reacquainting myself with Sesame Street after a 20+ year hiatus. I kid you not, ‘Cookie’ and ‘Ernie’ were some of his very first words. Actually, from watching the A&E special about Sesame Street, the reason that some of the Muppets, especially Cookie, act like they do is to some what target adults. The reason being that if the show is funny to adults they will watch it with their kids, and hopefully talk and interact more. At least more than a kid sitting and watching Barney or somesuch that no parent in their right mind will sit through.
Egh, he seems like kind of a perv to me.
cookie monster is the tops! and he is blue. who doesn’t like cookies and blue?
i also like animal, snuffy, beeker, and the count.
By the way, all the Sesame Street videos you could want…
Search on ‘cookie monster mystery box’ for a good old school video of Cookie and Kermit
The Count is monster with OCD. He was just on good medication when he appeared on Sesame Street. Counts of Blood: 15000-word Muppet-BtVS crossover fanfiction story, very creepy, not for kids. The Count meets the Master (Big Bad from Buffy S1).

Beaker is my favorite.
I wasn’t very familiar with Muppets until my first job. A coworker pointed out that my boss, whom I adored, looked just like Beaker. I took to watching the shows and, sure enough!-- Dr. Boss wasn’t clumsy or danger-prone, but puttering around with a lab coat on-- the resemblance was astonishing.
I prefer Chewchilla the Wookie Monster
A quick aside: this thread inspired me to start my own Muppet Madness tourney over in the Game Room. Enjoy!
Yes he does…
The store where my wife works was doing inventory this weekend. I don’t know how it came up but during dinner Friday night I mentioned that the perfect person to help with inventory would be the Count because he loves to count things. But then I said that he probably wouldn’t be good at inventory because he counts everything one at a time. “One! One pencil! Ahahaha! Two! Two pencils! Ahahaha!”
Saturday morning one of my wife’s co-workers showed up for inventory with buttons for everyone with a picture of the Count on them. My wife laughed and told her how we had just been talking about that the night before!
After work my wife stopped to buy some beer on the way home. She had forgotten to take her Count button off after work. She got a little embarrassed when the guy at the liquor store looked at the button and said, “A big fan of the Count, are you?”

He’d probably get fired for being too slow compared to electronic counting machines, and for trying to bite the knees of attractive ladies.
