I love Cookie Monster. And this is a great clip of Cookie Monster defending the idea that cookies are now a sometime treat versus Stephen Colbert on the Colbert Report.

Is there any muppet cooler than Cookie Monster?
I don’t think so. . . .
I saw that! I thought that was great. (Vegetables instead of cookies, indeed. The very idea!)
Aw, I’ve loved him too, and here I am double Oliver’s age. Now I don’t feel such an antique after all! (at least until the next post)
Does Colbert really have a Peabody? If he does, that must really gall O’Reilly. If he doesn’t, that must really, really gall O’Reilly.
Colbert has two Peabody’s I believe, one with THE DAILY SHOW, and his most recent one for THE COLBERT REPORT.
All right, that made my morning.
I have to ask, though: Has Super Grover endorsed Obama yet?
A.
A clarion call to all cookie addicts….everything in moderation:(
“Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.” — Barbara Jordan
Yep–THAT Barbara Jordan.
Thanks for this! “Cookie lapel pin” LOL!!!

Fantastic!

Er.. Cookie monster has no lapels
Does Colbert want him to jab a pin into his /skin/?
Actually, Colbert apparently has 3 Peabody awards, the 3rd one coming in April of this year.
“Me like the Robert Downey, Jr. of cookies!” Haha, wow this whole thing is great.
Animal is the coolest muppet!
this was so cool–chance viewings of muppets always make me smile
I miss the good old days when it was Sesame Street and not the park… I remember COOKIE MONSTER not the Vegie one… ITS A CARTOON PEOPLE… It’s not real.. .Changing a children’s show that has been around for almost 40 Years. AMERICA… YOU BLOW! God… It’s TV… Simple really.
Hehe
Elmo can wait in car, it very fuel efficent. It run on “imaginaaatiooon”
Cookie Monster was always my favourite, and Telly!
This is very funny but why do we have to ruin the cookie monster just because parents can’t feed their children properly and they are getting fat. If people had kids and were responsible parents then the poor cookie monster wouldn’t have to be turned into a vegetable and fruit eating thing promoting healthy living, isn’t that the parents job in the first place? I’m so glad I grew up when I grew up.
Everybody sing along:
C is for cookie,
That’s good enough for me,
C is for cookie,
A fun and tasty treat,
C is for cookie,
That’s good enough for me,
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C!
Colbert is awesome. Cookie Monster’s awesome. Creative skit. Colbert has 3 peabody awards. O’reilly has 0 peabody awards. Colbert has Fox’s microwave. I like broccoli.
Lol, I <3 cookie monster
‘esoteric agenda’ g001e it
Funny. But i maintain that the current guard have missed the point of characters like Cookie. They were MEANT to be obnoxious and extreme, to demonstrate what those qualities are like to other people. The other characters are frustrated with their behaviour. THAT was the lesson.
I got it when i was little. Are kids really that much more dense these days? Or are the current producers just assuming that they are?
Instead of updating the show by making the old characters politically correct, maybe what they should be doing is introducing new characters that portray the new vices that children face. For example: a character who is glued to video games to the point of dysfunction—just as Cookie was addicted to cookies, and Oscar was addicted to junk. Or a character who’s nose or ear is always buried in a mobile phone—committing all of the typical rudenesses, like shouting into it, and dismissing people around them. Or one who never leaves the computer.
It seems like the show has lost its way in some respects.
[insert record scratch here]
I enJOYed (echo, echo, echo) this bit when it originally aired. As I watched it here again I found it to be equally charming, funny and even poignant.
These of course are among the intended/desired responses, deLIGHTful (echo, echo, echo) on a purely visceral level as well as a cerebral one.
I maintain THAT.
LOL

heahaha i saw this on tv and thought it was hilarious
Yay for Glenda!

Nice post! God I love stephen Colbert, just fantastic. 70s/80s downy jr. joke -> Hilarious! whole thing was classic. oh colbert, you rock my world.
props to the cookie monster for holding his ground…
Best Cookie Monster moment: Cookie singing “You Made Me Love You” to a cookie. I never laughed so hard in my life.
By the way, Cookie Monster didn’t just eat cookies in the days before they dumbed down Sesame Street. He often ate the plate the cookies were on, parts of the set, huge alphabet letters and numbers and just about anything else he could get his hands on once a feeding frenzy had started. Any kid dumb enough to copy his eating habits would have had a well deserved stomach ache.
HILARIOUS! Love it!
Love it. Love the fact the car is running on “IMAGINATION”! I hated it when SS changed him to eat veggies. Why does everything have to be politically correct!
Cookie Monster is cool!
I love the cookie monster. But Gonzo is my favorite
überRegenbogen nailed it!
