Sesame Street: Healthy Foods

[grezgorztube]

omg he said "SWORDFISH." It blows my mind. Also I can't believe it's from 1987.

[kerri426]

WHY IS HIS NAME COOKIE MONSTER IF HE IS SINGING ABOUT VEGETABLES?! IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!!

[themostrandomchick24]

Everyone who's bitching needs to grow up. Cookie Monster is still a cookie fiend and just because he decided to switch up from cookies doesn't mean that he's turned into "a veggie monster" or anything else you're calling him. >_<

[DocSolomon]

Why are they showing CM's nightmares... that's just cruel

[HaraijukuSKETCH]

Dude when I was younger everytime my mom bought food I used to make it sing.. lol I was a werid kid still am and I still love this :)

[themousemaster]

Oh god nostaligia... sweet nostalgia... i'm having a moment

*cries tears of happiness*

[nellie2581]

This version is better than the one with Wyclef. It's a spoof of Run DMC/Aerosmith's Walk this Way. Cookie is dressed like Run DMC. Muppet Wiki said so.

fruit is getting quite expensive these days. I love fruit. just cant get enough of it.

[keneth231742]

Eminem move over we just found a replacement

[disneyphilip]

Many of the comments here make my eyes roll and my blood boil.

This piece is OLD, from 1987. Cookie Monster NEVER became Veggie Monster. That nonsense should've been laid to rest by now.

Just because he's a Cookie Monster doesn't mean he shouldn't be allowed to eat and love other things. He eats all sorts of things--it's just that cookies are his #1 favorite and always will be.

If he eats fruits, veggies, etc., it's NOT out-of-character of him. So, leave poor Cookie Monster alone!

[FeirvombeViakome]

Fucking Sellout!

[HUSoldierVEVO]

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

[IrishSpy33]

Fatties! Veggies are good for you! Veggie Monster is teaching kids how to eat healthy so they won't end up like the big blimp known as my sister!

[bakadazcha]

Hm. In the early seasons of the show, Cookie Monster ate everything from machinery to letters to anything that Kermit owned. Apparently this doesn't upset people, but Cookie Monster daring to suggest that he eats vegetables does. I wonder how many of the people complaining about this only eat THEIR favourite food...

[pokemon1010e]

I bet he was bribed with cookies to do this lol.

[bemoviedirector]

fuck bules clues fuck barney i can still wach this at 26 sesame street is the shit an it will always be

[Cookieschocolatte]

I WANT COOKIE MONSTER!!! :( >:(

[rossenergy]

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! COOKIE MONSTER WILL LIVE FROEVER!! <3 HEALTHY FOOD MY ASS! :(

[08skydancer]

Geez, people, you act like this is Apocalyptic or something. Aren't you even paying attention to the song? He's saying he's best known for eating cookies, but it's important to eat good food AS WELL AS cookies. I've seen him eat other foods besides cookies in past skits. Overall, the guy's got a healthy appetite. Furthermore, he's promoting healthy eating among kids. Kids pay attention to characters like him. I think you're taking this way too far. I say you all calm down and pipe down.

[RandomMindz]

GREAT! Now I feel guilty having McDonalds right now...

[TheBluebaby23]

F*** this........ -_- cookie monster is better off diabetic then healthy :)

[PineappleHeads1]

Whats he doing eating flesh 0:10 xD

[abbyeminem]

Wtf!? Me not love this! You just ruined my favorite character!!! -:(

[RandomMindz]

@abbyeminem

PULEEZZZ This thing was a classic...like 90s!! You know...when television was good?

[SuperSarahbarnett]

they should keep it to cookies!

[otyphoonx]

[broskiezISMYGAMERTAG]

HEALTHY FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

[kevante1]

BUSCUITS AND SYRUP, LOOOOOOL!!!!!

[TheSincere14U]

WOW - People post the silliest stuff - totally missing the whole point of the video. Sad!

[MrSpore75]

cookie monster tried to be gangsta in a good way, but he needs more swag.

[simhui89]

Oh wow!! I didn't know Cookie Monster CAN Rap!!

[KjRocker12345]

WTF happened to cookie monster?

[Superstarseven]

@KjRocker12345 Case in point.

[browniethepirate]

WHAT THE FUCK?!

[BitchesItsLucy]

the cookie monster doesn't make kids fat. parents serving their kids cake for breakfast does make them fat. so why do they need to change a childhood memory into a stupid thing because parents are stupid people?

[lcook90210]

You changed my childhood into rubish! :( I miss cookie monster

[Superstarseven]

What's wrong with all these idiots leaving comments here? Once again, please understand that this is from 1987. Cookie Monster has been talking about nutrition since 1974. He is not nor will he ever be Veggie Monster. That was a rumor that still seems to perpetuate today. Watch how people will completely ignore this message.

[spoung45a]

@Superstarseven I remember the first time i saw this song. way back when.....

[lilrain02]

which one is boy and which one is girl?? :(

[Hoobifta]

Cookie Monster is cool, very classy music the hip hop.

[cheycheyfairy]

Never change cookie monster its like changing ur childs life. he stays cookie monster and he will never change

[TheNajort]

I understand that childhood obesity is an issue, but this is the wrong way to fight it. Childhood obesity is (often) the result of bad parenting, not cookie monster.

[bmxkid386]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOKIE MONSTER..... I HATE WHO EVER DECIDED TO CHANGE HIM SO FUCK YOU IF YOUR THE PERSON THAT CHANGED HIM

[Superstarseven]

@bmxkid386 Did you completely miss the comment about this song being pretty old?

Cookie monster is still cookie monster.

[pepsimaxo123]

the person who disliked this does not have a taste in music COOKIE MONSTER FTW

[legowoo101]

What cookie monster with veggies..THIS IS COOKIE MONSTER ON DRUGS

[coolperson1ish]

Naw i wont shut up

[Eternalshadowgamer]

I remember watching this on my Sesame Street Monsters VHS tape in 1998 And this was before The Cookie Monster change..... He Still ate cookies all the time and he sang about vegetables once in a while which was a good formula..... Now This show is just crap.... Im 14 almost 15 and i can still watch the originals with a laugh and the new ones..... ugh

[MJsHersheys]

What happened to Cookie Monster? Thats sad the origional Cookie Monster is gone. (Sigh)

[inlovequestionmark]

upsetting

[Galladegal2009]

i miss cookie monster... :(

[folsomjazz]

amazing

i will smash 473 people

[poopoonoonooify]

RIP Cookie monster

[RWright2006]

@poopoonoonooify

What?

[TenCents514]

HEALTHY FOOD! TASTE SO GOOD!

[robair9911]

fucking sell out. talking about vegetables like they are cookies

[shadownitron]

oh i remember this song....

brings back so many memories

[StoogesFan]

I remember seeing this skit from my early childhood and I loved it.  Long live Cookie Monster

[Gir0107]

I hate eatiin healthy foods!!! me no want healthy.and he dont like veggies!!! HE IS KNOWN 4 COOKIES!!!!

[TenCents514]

I just watch this because I think it's a good song.

[TheTreydawg11]

Run D.M.C. dont got crap on cookie monster!!!

[MrKennykickass]

1987. did they really just throw in a rap, and the word yo, to get kids to eat veggies?

yes.

oh and and i can get girls by eating them? hmmm...

IM IN!

[superman7830]

TALKIN ABOUT OLD FUCKIN SCHOOL

[MrLegoGuy77]

THIS IS FUCKING RETARDED! COOKIE MONSTER ALL THE WAY!

[garysdebbie]

Are ya'll kidding??? Did they FOR REAL change Cookie Monster to Veggie Monster!??!??! Say it ain't so! TO whomever was talking about "junk" food being cheaper..what about all the oh so great "organic" food they push on us?? Middle classed ppl cannot buy that! A quart of Organic strawberries it like 8.00?!?! I think parents have enough sense to teach kids to eat well and still have cookies, ice cream and candy as we did. Let them be kids..while they can~

[TanaSilvers]

@garysdebbie Dude. This song has been around for decades. The whole "Veggie Monster" panic was just that. Panic. There was never a plan to change Cookie. Also, though organic foods are expensive, fresh fruit and veggies are not.

[YourDarkAccomplice]

@TanaSilvers - Decades?!?! You mean I was only 4 years old when I first heard this song -- O.o

[MikeTaylorLives]

Lastly, anybody mad at the fact that Cookie Monster eats other food besides cookies needs to do some research on how bad childhood obesity (and obesity in general) has gotten in the United States. It's truly frightening. Don't be mad at Sesame Workshop for trying to encourage smart eating habits in kids. Be mad at the fact that the junk food which makes kids overweight is cheaper than an apple or a banana, Be mad that a gallon of milk costs as much as 12 liters (3 gallons) of soda.

[KurieiFoxfire]

@MikeTaylorLives Or be mad at the parents that keep giving that kind of food to their kids instead of making them something healthy.

[Jennafu832]

I'm so happy this is part my childhood... what a great legacy. Those are really the good old days... :)

[skaterchick112377]

NOO THEY KILLED COOKIE MONSTER!! :'(

15 years old still watching sesame street cause cookie monster was cookie monster and not the veggie monster!! </3

[katherine090613]

hahaha he didnt take one bite , if it was cookies it would have demolished yum yum yumyum yummy :)

[ohhmeson]

this is fucking bullshit i want the cookie monster damn it

[iloverebanmcentire]

I miss the cookie monster that I grew up with!!!!! :(

[MrLeomonkey07]

@iloverebanmcentire I had the same reaction, but this is from 1987 according to "stevarino1989"

[25BabiiK25]

Where the Hell Is My Cookie monster haha

[melinajz]

Well darn you Sesame Street. Im 10 and i have loved the Cookie Monster forever but when you turned him into the Vegtable Monster you messed up big time. You ruined everything. My baby nices are crying there hearts out. I dont know why you did that.

[ZeroandBosS]

I feel bad for the Veggie Monster...hes blue and not green.

[sek17514]

Mad at veggie monster cookie monster rules

[ynotdrol2]

Hey guys pizza is a vegetable. 

[CNightmare072]

Someone dubstep this. Now.

[FusionGTZ]

wtf is this bullshit....... the cookie monster was my childhood hero, now he's a fucking douchebag

[MaksimLevinskyMusic]

This is a public health service commercial that the COOKIE Monster had to do as part of his probation conditions after getting caught muzzling on WAY to much cookies by the police...Still good, though, even though since this was done, he has repeatedly offended and transgressed with his addiction by again and again eating way too much cookies and not enough healthy food...It's sad really...The one person who really needed to get this message was the actually one giving it - the Cookie Monster.

[cheerrat12]

what has this world come to?!?!?!

[abbigg12]

wow....

when I was little I would do anything that a;

Puppet said 2 me

a little vegy said 2 me,

one time my bro told me 2 say "I luv poo" in puplic

wow the old days...

[MarkP0rter]

i dont want to eat food that has eyes and can sing songs to me

[JoleneDIana]

FUCK THIS SHIT.

[08skydancer]

Oh, why doesn't everyone just sit down and be quiet?

[MrsCookieMOnster820]

[Starrhotty123]

[ponettekim]

[pwelchster]

HE NEVER EATS ANY OF IT!!! Cookie Monster 4 Life, Legit.

[owlloveu4ever]

this is wrong... just wrong...

[TheChirpingAssholes]

I love how they show bread as a "healthy food". Lol.

[chaoticwolfess]

@TheChirpingAssholes

Research, it is healthy food. Turns onto sugars, but it is healthy, grain and wheat bread= fiber and proteins.

[elliecsify]

I MISS THE COOKIE MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

[naturegirl829]

@elliecsify ikr!!!

[33peytonb]

haha

[sarahstars44]

What the heck this is just....

[kevans437]

That's Not Fair That They Had To Change The Cookie Monster From The Vegie Monster .. But At Least e Didn't Change Like Elmo Had To !!

[SHExxLIKESxxBARINAS]

healthy food tastes so good? well guess what? non-healthy food tastes so much better!

and the singing food is scary

[theixe00]

the food scared eh they sing and they have weird mouths

[JeremyTheGreat11]

I'd take this over any lil wayne song. cause the cookie monster acutally raps about something!

[buddy24245]

might as well turn big bird pink and get rid of elmo theyre gonna do this bs

[supergamerskingdom]

sicking

[luckshower]

I remember hearing this song when i was like 4 so old lol

[NumberOneSpoofFan]

My substitute teacher showed up this video in class and all my friends were looking at me because everybody calls me 'Kookiee Monzturr" (Or Alice TROLOLOLOL)

[simpleton7]

Yeah I'm pretty sure putting faces on vegetables is counterproductive.

[tehillalala]

the poor kids! cookie monster is my hero!!!

[flimflamflappy]

hahahahahaha im soo baked!

[leopulga]

Lame.......

[LILLGAGA]

I put up this video on and turned the volume up cause it was down and I was listening to itunes and Romans Revenge came on. I was like, WTF! DAMN SESAME STREET! -.- xD

[stevarino1989]

Seriously people who think this is something brand new . . . THIS IS FROM 1987! REPEAT! 1987! NINETEEN EIGHTY SEVEN!

[simsok2]

@stevarino1989 did they had normal tv in 1987???

[LittleBritGamer]

@simsok2 idoit.

[funnymonkey606]

@stevarino1989 well they changed him to vegetable monster, he is no longer cookie monster and a lot of people are upset

[stevarino1989]

@funnymonkey606 no they didn't. it was just a rumor.

[MikeTaylorLives]

@funnymonkey606

Where is your evidence for this claim? Who is this "they" you speak of? Sesame Workshop? Jim Henson Productions? Sorry, but no. Cookie Monster has an appetite for EVERYTHING. He has eaten cookies, fruits, veggies, bicycles, computers and even (in his earliest form) Kermit the Frog. He still eats cookies and hasn't stopped.

[sasamai1]

Thanks for stealing my childhood. nothing is wrong with eating cookies, and this whole vegetable monster isn't going to make me eat vegetables.

[CuteieBeauty]

No kid is gonna buy this shit xD

[jsoulscourge]

meh they should have had Elmo do this song

[nicolek1996]

SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS IS SERIOUSLY LIKE 30 YEARS OLD. HE'S STILL COOKIE MONSTER

[britrmil]

that really pisses me off!

sure vegetables are good for you..

but when you change cookie monster to the vegetable monster..its just wrong!

[swee1movie]

gangster

[DeathOn3rdStreet]

Dear Sesame Street,

There goes millions of kids' childhoods...

Sincerely, WTF?! We turned out fine!

[kndwin003]

cookie monster?

[MrEpiccranks]

A Classic Character since like the 1960's Should not be rapping and singing pop culture... 2... When you have a name Cookie Monster and your promoting veggies.... A CHILDHOOD CLASSIC SHOW IS SCREWED!

[2u4uraqtdd]

OMG seseame street is ruined!

[neilsimeh2]

Never mind the food argument! The music is awesome. I think I'd buy this on Itunes.

[BlueParatroopa]

Guys, this is from the late eighties/early nineties. Chill out. He's still Cookie Monster.

[Alexiadaydreamer]

O.o WHAT HAPPENED TO THE COOKIE MONSTER???? He is my favorite!! How dare u get rid of the cookie monster!!!!

[stevarino1989]

@TheLoLCompilations this was made in 1987

[NikitaFilatovFan3040]

[imdshiznit]

[draciel80]

[Xenonerules]

Turtleneck and chain.

Turtleneck and chain.

Turtleneck and chain, sipping on a light beer.

[blueistrue06]

Those of you who are saying that this video is awful and how could they possibly have this, obviously didn't really grow up watching Sesame Street, because this song is a classic. I watched from 1993 through 2004 (I have younger siblings I watched it with), and this song came on quite a bit.

[valvalten15]

i love the cookie monster... is my favorite! jejee

[gojirasox]

I remember as soon as this song came on, I would start jumping up and down dancing around....then came the nightmare broccoli.....

[YouAreEveryone]

one

1 two timing bitch! hahaha

[buellbowski]

thumbs up if you saw the hand at 44 on the broccoli

[lopez67891]

i hate this i grew up waching cookie moster i never ever going to let ,my kid watch tis wtf imn going to sue them

[BeatlesAmiYumi]

That song was so cool! BTW, I heard in an episode of Sesame Street that Cookie Monster said that he's not Veggie Monster, he's still Cookie Monster. After all, he's got a reputation to keep up. He said so himself!

[AdamBalm13]

I'm vegan and I still know that this is wrong

[Canonpedua12]

@AdamBalm13 How the fuck is this wrong? There's absolutely nothing wrong with this, I have no idea what you guys are all flipping out about.

[admiresl27]

That is one pissed off looking piece of broccoli...

[WaynePrankster]

One of my favorite Sesame Street songs! Down with the naysayers!

Although I did just notice tonight for the first time that the shot they use for the background is a different take than the one in the foreground. The movements of the girls don't match. I always thought they just green-screened what they were filming onto the back.

[roccoparks]

no wonder so many americans are obese when they get cookie monster to promote healthy eating

[InnotechNutrition1]

I remember that silhouette shot from when i was young!

[veggievixen83]

I always loved this when I was a kid in the 80's. Now my 1 1/2 year old loves it too.

[sparklepenguin01]

its good to teach kids to eat vegetables but not with the cookie monster!
