Who is Cookie Monster?
Cookie Monster is a blue Muppet character on the long-running PBS / HBO children's television show Sesame Street. He first appeared in 1966 as the Wheel-Stealer, a monster who stole snacks from a commercial. He later became known as Cookie Monster when he joined Sesame Street in 1969. He has a distinctive voice, performed by Frank Oz until 2004 and David Rudman since 2001. He also revealed his real name as Sid in a song in 2004 and an interview in 2017.
The origin of Cookie Monster
Cookie Monster was created by Jim Henson, the legendary puppeteer and creator of the Muppets. According to the book Jim Henson's Designs and Doodles, Cookie Monster was originally one of three monsters that ate cookies and appeared in a General Foods commercial that featured three crunchy snack foods: Wheels, Crowns and Flutes. Each snack was represented by a different monster. The Wheel-Stealer was a short, fuzzy monster with wonky eyes and sharply pointed teeth. The Flute-Snatcher was a speed demon with a long, sharp nose and windblown hair. The Crown-Grabber was a hulk of a monster with a Boris Karloff accent and teeth that resembled giant knitting needles.
These monsters had insatiable appetites for the snack foods they were named after. Each time the Muppet narrator, a human-looking fellow, fixes himself a tray of Wheels, Flutes and Crowns, they disappear before he can eat them. One by one, the monsters sneak in and zoom away with the snacks. Frustrated and peckish, the narrator warns viewers that these pesky monsters could be disguised as someone in your own home, at which point the monsters briefly turn into people and then dissolve back to monsters again.
As it turns out, these commercials were never aired but all three monsters had a future in the Muppet cast. The Crown-Grabber was used in a sketch on The Ed Sullivan Show, in which he ruins a girl's beautiful day. The Flute-Snatcher became Snuffleupagus, Big Bird's imaginary friend. And the Wheel-Stealer became Cookie Monster, who soon found his true calling: eating cookies.
The personality of Cookie Monster
Cookie Monster is best known for his voracious appetite and his famous eating catchphrases, such as "Me want cookie!" As his name suggests, his preferred food is cookies; though he eats almost anything, including inedible objects. Chocolate chip cookies are his favorite kind. He often devours cookies (and sometimes other objects) with loud munching noises and crumbs flying everywhere.
Cookie Monster is also very friendly and kind-hearted. He has a deep, growly voice, but he is not scary at all. He loves to share his cookies with his friends, especially Elmo, who is his best friend. He also likes to help others, such as teaching Grover how to be a waiter, or helping Kermit with his lectures. He is very curious and eager to learn new things, such as letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and words. He sometimes makes mistakes, but he always tries his best and learns from them.
The family of Cookie Monster
Cookie Monster has a big family of monsters who love cookies as much as he does. His father is Pop Monster, who taught him how to eat cookies when he was a baby. His mother is Cookie Momster, who bakes him cookies and gives him hugs. His sister is Cookie Sister, who likes to tease him and play with him. His brother is Baby Cookie Monster, who looks up to him and follows him around. His cousin is Cousin Monster, who visits him sometimes and shares his cookies. His grandmother is Grandma Monster, who tells him stories and knits him sweaters. His grandfather is Grandpa Monster, who gives him advice and jokes. And his pet is Crumbies, a furry creature who lives in his fur and eats his crumbs.
