Has Cookie Monster given up cookies!?

According to Dave Chappelle, Snuffy is the Sesame Street junkie. :)

he does have a certain "opiated" quality to him, doesn't he?

sooner or later all the characters will have an addiction or psychological problem of some kind. They will later reveal they all replaced "snap, crackle, and pop" with THIS for breakfast and thus an aversion to breakfast cereals will be created.
hey, stranger things have happened. ;)
 
I understand that cookies are a bad processed food.

But what about free range cookies? :confused:

"Fruit Monster" just doesn't have the same ring as "Cookie Monster" :(

Although this may teach kids to eat healthier foods....
 
In related news, Bert and Ernie have given up their sinful lifestyle. They've apparently decided to differentiate between 'sometimes relationships' and 'always relationships'.
:D
 
I thought Bert was dead? You mean they're [shudder] Necropheliacs?

EDIT: Apparently not.. it was a failed plot by liberals.
 
Bert died? Certainly he didn't actually "die" on the show. What happened to him? I haven't watched that show for a loooong time.

LOL, thats hilarious :D
 
Are you sure this isn't the result of a sexual harassment lawsuit?

I could also picture the cookie monster walking up to one of female cast members leering at her breasts and saying, "I hope you got milk in those things, because I plan on eating your cookies all night tonight."
 
Fruit Monster might upset the conservatives, He should be called Fig Newton Monster. :p :rolleyes:

I like some of the new stuff they've done - having a HIV positive muppet in South Africa is a great idea (and I've heard that India want a strong female character for similar reasons) but the Cookie Monster becoming the Sometimes Cookie Monster is like Big Bird becoming the Big Boned Bird! I mean, are we gonna see Cookie with the 3am shakes? Patches? Mood swings? He was my favourite character from Sesame Street (him and the Grouch) but if ya sanitise him it spoils him completely. COOOOOOOOKIES! is THE catchphrase of Sesame Street! :D
 
Ugh. I may have major issues with the cultural eating disorder that is the US diet, but chainging Cookie Monster ain't gonna fix it.

In fact, if you want to get analytical about it, Cookie Monster is an outlet to the innate instinct in most kids to pig out on cookies. Just like each of the Seasame Street characters gives flesh to some part of a childhood personality that kids associate with, good and bad--grumpy tantrums for Oscar, gluttony for Cookie, overactive imagination for Grover, trusting naivete for Big Bird, etc.

They give the kids something to connect to and see the things they feel acted out, and they illustrate how these things aren't always constructive--Oscar is grumpy, and gets cheered up sometimes, Cookie Monster eats everything in sight and feels bad about it sometimes.

PC-Cookie Monster is no longer a "role model" for kids, consuming a pile of cookies plate and all, then going "Oops" and gently reminding kids that even if you want to, maybe you shouldn't, he's just another parent figure reminding the tyke what to do, and as a result will probably be ignored.

So not only is it stupid, but it's technically stupid, too.
 
P.C. bastards. Cookie Monster was (and is) my favorite of the bunch. He represents this totally unashamed id character (all those muppets are basically one-dimensional: anal-retentive Bert, loving but irritating Grover, dejected Big Bird and misanthrope Oscar), and that's why kids learn from him and identify with him. Making him health conscious is just going to suck him of any vitality. It just won't make his appearances on Monsterpiece Theater ironic anymore, either.
 
This makes me sad.....the cookie monster was my favorite character-where else can you see a blue furry monster going ballistic over a cookie, and end up eating a cardboard box with it as well...*sigh* I don't remember people getting fat because of the Swedish chef...

Have a buddy who works production on "The Street." Says the CM has been sliding for months. Was evidently dipping his cookies in ranch dressing and it caught the eyes of the suits. And when he showed up at Keebler headquarters at 3 AM absolutely "blown out" on pinwheels, the suits decided it was time to get him some help. After all, he's made a lot of money for them to date.

My source also tells me the CM is rooming with Hamburglar at "an undisclosed location" somewhere in the Pacific Northwest until things "get cool again." As you know, Hamburglar has also found fame to be a rocky ride.

Dubbed "the Nick Nolte of McDonaldland" due to his numerous arrests, violent mood swings and penchant for synthetics, HB gained notoriety exactly four years ago this week when he absolutely horrified participants at a Subway convention by appearing (uninvited) on stage sans trousers and demanding to see Jared or "things would get ugly."

Thankfully, he was blitzed by security before he could make a move.

Just my twisted $0.02...
