Mr. Snuffleupagus

Mr. Snuffleupagus

Funniest Sesame Street Characters Snuffy And Big Bird

Mr. Snuffleupagus first appeared on Sesame Street in the third season. When he first appeared, many of us assumed that he was Big Bird's imaginary friend, due to a series of coincidences and very near-miss encounters that continually kept Snuffleupaguses from human interactions. Big Bird would often try to find ways for Snuffy to meet the adults, but something would always cause Snuffy to leave before the humans could see him. Sometimes, all it would take for the adults to see Mr. Snuffleupagus would be to turn their heads, yet they usually wouldn't do so until Snuffy had already gone.
It is really one of the funniest thing seeing all that.

Count Von Count

Cookie Monster has a deep, growly voice, and generally speaks with simplistic diction, saying everything with "me" for instance, "Me want cookie!", as opposed to everybody probably already knew "I want a cookie!" Truly deserved as one of the funniest sesame street characters.

Duke Cunningham, he testified before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services and Education in April 2002, urging support for increased funding in music education.

BERT AND ERNIE

Most Popular Sesame Street Character Of All Time Bert And Ernie

Bert And Ernie

Should we separate them even in this individual list of most popular sesame street character of all time debate? I guess not. Bert and Ernie are two roommates on the long-running television show Sesame Street. The two appear together in numerous skits, forming a comic duo that is one of the centerpieces of the program. Bert and Ernie were built by Don Sahlin from a simple design scribbled by Muppets creator Jim Henson. According to Frank Oz, Sahlin also defined their characters on the basis of their physical appearance: Ernie was an orange and Bert was a banana. In a classic pairing, Ernie appears chubby while Bert appears quite skinny.A typical Bert and Ernie skit follows one of two similar patterns, both beginning with Ernie devising a hare-brained idea and Bert calmly attempting to talk him out of it. Usually this ends with Bert losing his temper and Ernie remaining oblivious to his own bad idea. Sometimes Ernie's idea miraculously turns out to be correct, much to Bert's evident frustration.

OSCAR THE GROUCH

Oscar The Grouch

Most Popular Sesame Street Character Of All Time Oscar The Grouch

This next contender of most popular sesame street character of all time used to have the color orange, that was during the 1969–1970 season, but now he is that green creature who has no nose, and lives in a garbage can. His favorite thing in life is trash; evidence for this is the song "I Love Trash".
You should know that Oscar inspired an Apple Macintosh hack written by Eric B. Shapiro and shown at the 1989 MacHack conference, featuring a singing animated Oscar that appeared from the trash can whenever a file was thrown away. The hack was so popular that some parents lost the entire contents of their hard disks to preschoolers wanting to see more of Oscar.

COOKIE MONSTER

Cookie Monster

Most Popular Sesame Street Character Of All Time Cookie Monster

This last but not least contender of the most popular sesame street character of all time could become annoying on some occasion, but he is the persistent one, he is best known for his voracious appetite and his famous eating phrases: "Me want cookie!", "Me eat cookie!", and "Om Nom nom nom" (said through a mouth full of food). He often eats anything and everything, including danishes, donuts, lettuce, apples, bananas, as well as normally inedible objects such as salt and pepper shakers, signs, napkins, pencils, typewriters, telephones, motorcycles, Peabody Awards, trucks, a safe, a VW Beetle, and the Letter of the Day. However, as his name suggests, his preferred food is cookies. Chocolate chip cookies are his favorite kind; oatmeal cookies are his second favorite. He is known to have a mother, a younger sister, and an identically-designed cousin, who all share his characteristic blue fur and "googly eyes".
Cookie Monster's theme song, "C is for Cookie", is one of the most famous songs from Sesame Street.
