[ShakaRakaNah]

@riggs5239 Please see my comment below.

[ShakaRakaNah]

Okay, for everyone still whining about this baseless "Veggie Monster" myth, despite the video presenting the facts plainly and simply, please please PLEASE see the "Is Cookie Monster now the Veggie Monster" article on the Muppet Wiki. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Oy...

That said, I personally thought this vid (from 2006, as an 'fyi' to those reading) hit the nail on the head. Some people are just thick.

[izzybee51101]

funny! i love u cookie monster

[yourmeals]

he is the erry thing mon=nster

[bubub56]

because our first lady in a bitch who refuses to take responsibility for her childrens fat asses

[RumbaKalaFTW]

They're trying to encourage kids to eat healthy... that's all.

[FarfetchdForDinner]

Wait... is this the veggie monster? As long as he stills eats cookies as well as fruit, I DON'T CARE, HE'S STILL PARTIALLY THE COOKIER MONSTER!

[historyclub101]

YOU CANT CHANGE THE COOKIE MONSTER I <3 HIM ( THIS SHOWS FOR LITTLE KIDS YOUR RUINING THERE LIVES ) I <3 COOKIES, I <3 THE COOKIE MONSTER

[Cowpwnz]

I used to eat cookies, but then I took a carrot to the knee

[MyGorewhore]

[ttw97]

[SicMetabolicPanda]

Why couldn't they just make a whole new character that like vegetables!? Seriously think about it, Cookie Monster has been around for DECADES, why ruin someones childhood? Couldn't make another Character with the actual name Veggie Monster?

[ShakaRakaNah]

@SicMetabolicPanda

Wow, way to completely miss the point of the video. You and just about everyone else here. 

[lolliepops147]

:( he cant change thats not right hes still the same every one likes him way better as cookie monster then veggie monster

[ExtremeDivasXx]

MATT LAUER CAN SHOVE THAT BANANA UP HIS TWAT!!!! VEGGIE MONSTER.? ARE U FUCKING KIDDING WOW

[kido009]

FRUIT MONSTER!!! i dont want to live on this planet anymore

[sshuisken]

Jeepers guys, Cookie Monster isn't different at all. Same goofy persona. Same voice. Same tenancy to smash food all over his face.

[ColinMcDonaldGrant]

Oh, so a cookie monster who only eats cookies would somehow teach children that living on a cookie diet is okay, yet he still talks like a retard and teaches kids bad grammar, huh?

[WhatsUpPuddingCupp]

SCREW YOU "VEGGIE MONSTER" YOU SUCK!! WE WANT THE OLD COOKIE MONSTER!!

[thehorseshoecurve]

Michele obama what is your problem now the country is pissed off

[ynotdrol2]

[dimes288]

[S0LIDFLUX]

Parents complained that cookie monster promoted childhood obessity but their the ones that supply their kids with the food, they could just say no to their kids pleads. Dumb fucks

[mystull]

[cupcake123918]

whats next?? going to the gym instead of singing??

[storrs19]

You can always tell a modern Cookie Monster. He's not allowed to eat cookies any more. God what a bunch of crap. Take me back to 1970 when Cookie Monster was ravenous and eating every cookie in sight!

[disneyphilip]

@storrs19 He still eats cookies. Please stop being so thick-headed!

[MegaSean45]

See what happened to Cookie Monster after rehab? (seen in family guy)

[BobMcCob]

[marckid93]

[ShadowGodzilla1]

Lol" where dis guy come from " Cookie monster we love you

[Thromnabular]

You know, he may not have given up cookies but he certainly gave up chocolate chip cookies. If you look closely... that's an oatmeal raisin cookie. Now THAT I find offensive.

[Rabidcolombian]

Who wants a cookie now?

[AMLChipmunk]

1:42

[andre052199]

wow thats taking my childhood and slaping it in the face

[Holasrmateo]

After watching this, my kid decide that eating electronics was okay and he got lead poisoning.  I'm suing Sesame street, Matt Lauer, PBS and the people who watched this and did nothing.

[crazysassa]

i think its rly lame they changed him to veggie monster -.- yes its true that cookies arent good for you but COME ON ! if you're a good parent you'll teach your child that.. i grew up watching the cookie monster and he was my favorite one ! and now he's the veggie monster -.- pffft what has this world come to?!

[DonutKingDx]

F***k vegi monster!

[aedwardb1]

Me:Mom can i have a cookie?

Mom:What for?

Me:*takes cookie* NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!! *cookie crumbles to the ground*

Mom: O.O

[likevid123]

it would be funny if the cookie monster said you got that right .... BITCH >D

[luciobriceno09999]

124 people dont wont kids to be skinner

[sunkist1589]

the travesty of this is beyond belief. Keep eating your cookies cookie monster.  The reason why I love you is because of your harebrained, cockamamie schemes to get as many cookies as you can.

[SassyKat6669]

... i'ma go eat some cookies now. no fruit first.. just cookies

[ItsJennaSB]

if cookie monster went to the dentist....

[violetsings]

123 dislikes

[Oshyrath]

Bipolar childhood character

[TheRaikou88]

Why the heck do people not like this change? The creators are simply trying to get people to start eating healthier. Why does it suck that he eats fruits and veggies? Cookie Monster can eat whatever the hell he wants.

[Chloe14Danielle]

what have they done to the cookie monster!!!!!! :-(

[tigerbabe97]

no.

[THEcrazyPANCAKE41]

WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS????!?!?!?!

[RussainPatton]

now this sucks. I <3 Cookie Monster.

[justineroxful]

[aquagrl63]

[byaane]

HE FORGOT ONE

[EnVyRhD]

Not cool my cookie monster going healthy that not a good impression on 15 year olds :(! my furry buddy isnt the the same no more : COOKIE MONSTER COME BACK TO US

[brauer73]

@EnVyRhD ur right

[SammTheQow]

I wonder how many cookies they've wasted over the years when Cookie Monster crushes the cookie while he "eats" it.

[27Axis]

Fuckin liberals.

[IrishAmerican1234]

@27Axis Liberals arent the cause of this, the problem is overprotective parents and corrupt Corporations,

[27Axis]

@IrishAmerican1234 Well, whoever's screwin it up, they're destroying childhood icon's.

[Wonderzable]

See? Even Cookie Monster still likes cookies. ):

This isn't happening. ):

[TooLate2Pologize]

[magma41158]

[ritchey7]

this is a damn outrage!

[Silvabackgorrila]

Rehab.. It is a terrible thing.

[TherealRNO]

@Gamerdude963: No. He eats everything. Letters (often within the presence of Ernie or Kermit & more recently with Prarie Dawn), a pencil & a typewriter & a telephone (all during Christmas Eve), & EVEN Kermit (in his prototype form)! Cookies are just his favorite. He's been promoting healthy eating since 1972!

[Bestjamesbond]

WHAT IS THIS?!!??! THATS NO COOKIE MONSTER!!!!! THAT IS JUST A PLANE OLD MONSTER! WHY WOULD YOU PEOPLE DO SUCH A HORRIBLE THING?!??!?!?!?!!??!

[TMANMAN16z]

Cookie Monster has a better grasp on how the media twists everything than alot of americans do.

[Stuninator]

I thought Matt Laur was going to say why the F**k @ 1:31 :)

[tatortote3000]

WHY WOULD YOU CHANGE THE COOKIE MONSTER! I'M WEARING A COOKIE MIONSTER SHIRT TODAY! PBS YOU HAVE GONE CRAZY! I'M NOT WATCHING YOUR SHOW EVER AGAIN!

[emericanmade]

when Matt said "Then why the fruit" I thought I was about to say something else...

[marckid93]

i believe in cookie monster! and wat sucks da most is da kids born in this generation might never know who the cookie monster is smdh....

[RebelStar64]

Thy cant change cookie monster he wuz ther durin our childhood! N thy shuld keep him tht way!!

[brazilianshorty5377]

dude the person who just made the veggie monster just raped my childhood =C

[TheEtc3]

What the hell?!?!?! Man the media screwed EVERYTHING up!!! but why the cookie monster!! He was pretty much all we had left!! :"( Thank god they didnt change the polar bear off the ICEE!!

[JaimzSB]

He's the fucking COOKIE monster. He should have ate the cookie first.

[MusicReliable]

Cookie monsters a pimp!

[ninjalovesbotdf]

Yahh stay away from fruit(especially the orange cause hes super annoying:D)

[legovinny]

i know why......

[jkolodney]

What, it's not like cookies are/were the ONLY thing he eats. they're just his favorite food. Cookies have always been a favorite food of mine, but I knew that I shouldn't have too much and still have my veggies. Besides, Cookie has been shown to eat just about anything. I remember as a little kid watching him eat a PIANO.

[SheWolfxox3]

They are just doing this cuz they say its unhealthy for kids to have a cookie monster. whatever i love him and they are mess up our childhood. when my friend told me about this i cryed and so did my friend its so upseting to see something we love go away. I HAT YOU SESAME STREET! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE STUPIED ADULTS!

[19lionkingfan]

STAY AWAY FROM THE FRUIT, STAY AWAAAY FROM THE FRUIT!!!

[Minnie3Mushu4]

They r taking away my childhood!!!!!!!!

[Cooleo299]

WHAT THAT MUSIC ? HEY WHERE THIS GUY COME FROM ?

[TheMRChicken666]

COOOKIE COOOOKIE COOOKIE MONSTER

[shravasr]

Thumbs up if you actually watched the video.

[keybearersora]

@GamersTunes It was, wasn't it?

[DynaMatt23]

This is just sad.

[pandabunny3]

thumbs up if COOKIE monster is SOOO much better than FRUIT monster!!!

[keybearersora]

I can't believe I bought into the whole Veggie Monster thing. People, Cookie Monster has advocated healthy eating for a LONG, LONG time. To your "A Cookie is a Sometime Food," I say, HE STILL ATE THE FREAKIN' COOKIE AT THE END. Stop blowing this up more than it has to be; he still eats cookies, and he has never once eaten ONLY cookies. Thumbs up if you want this Veggie Monster nonsense to die.

[GamersTunes]

@keybearersora That was sad.

[dchiabotti]

@keybearersora hes not the same what little kid wants to see a fruit eating fluffy creature it stupid i miss the old cookie monster!!!!! thumbs up if you want the original back



[cubansupreme]

can't sesame street create 2 new monsters who look like cookie monster but have different colored fur, 1 of them eats veggies, and the other eats fruit? they could be cookie monster's relatives or something. just an idea i'm throwing out there.

[Dkenair2]

Cookie Monster eating fruits? WTF?

[ojde4]

+ this episode aired in 2006 so stop blaming the Obamas!

[disneyphilip]

@ojde4 The Obamas have NOTHING to do with this! Leave them alone!

[ojde4]

Why are people afraid of change? Grow up, clearly he still likes cookies!

[Cdo2000]

hey whered this guy come from?

[darkozzy123]

i want the old cookie monster back the kind of cookie monster that wanted to stick his d*** in some cookies

[COOLCARDTRICKS9999]

Soooooooooooo sad no more cookies

[McBlobby3]

and not a single bight of fruit was eaten by him.

[madpiratesarah]

*cry*

my childhood..RIPPED TO SHREDS IN THE FORM OF VEGETABLES!!!!

[superskh]

YOU LIED. YOU LIED. YOU SAID THAT C IS FOR COOKIE AND THAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU. I can't believe this. EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE.

[KattyEyesss]

"Why me WHAAA?!!!"

[BlickC10]

"Where'd this guy come from?" LOL

[princesscri95]

the veggie monster is such CRAP. i want the cookie monster.

[PiranhaKeeper8]

he didn"t eat any of the food. he just shoved it in his mouth and said om nom nom nom. xD

[xlWolfielx]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....­....RIP Cookie Monster, the muppet who taught me the true value of a chocolate chip cookie.

This veggie monster can stick those veggies somewhere else >_>

[pokemaster4424]

I want cookie monster again

[gamerkid9708]

omg i cant believe it, they did it, i thought it was lies but its true he's gone....GONE!!!

(SOBS!)

[TheGoodLife1707]

the sad thing is i'm 19 and i'm watching this. <3

[pricardo333]

Thumbs up if you know this is NOT the Cookie monster, but an IMPERSONATOR!

[AlexEvansOwlCityFAN]

@pricardo333 NO NO! COOKIES MOSTER IS REAL YOU'RE FAKE I MEET THE COOKIE MOSTER! >:(

[tejojo]

@pricardo333 I know! The real Cookie Monster (Frank Oz) has sadly retired, but has been making occasional performances on the show, such as the "Mad Men" parody, but not as Cookie Monster. :(

[cubansupreme]

@pricardo333 say whaaaaa  O_O?

[PHANTOMKNIGHT2000]

I think my child hood is ruin now.

[bridggiebear]

no this is so sAD

[murderman911]

The sad thing is I'm 17 and I'm watching this

[decenthypocrite]

[lgcmetallica]

@murderman911 im 16. not to far off man, i feeel you

[Livepure2]

[crazyphan18]

@murderman911 oh honey i am 21 about to be 22 in a few months...i am still watching and enjoying it!

[utefan27]

i bet they changed him to the veggie monster because sesame street was responsible for all of the over weight little kids in America

[ddtottot]

yes, because the world got fat from watching a blue puppet on t.v....

[XxToongalxX]

@ddtottot lmao

[shyguy54321]

OH WHER DIS GUY COME FROM!!!!

[kyle32241]

@RiptosRage no ur one

[GGeena14]

everybody dislike it cuz cookie monsters gone

[laurenpx11]

You've ruined Sesame Street for everyone.

[homosexualperson]

i loved cookie monster as a kid. i didn't eat cookies though so this is retarded he's switching to veggie monster. cookie monster was a classic. poor kids of the future

[MrThemax22]

Why did they make cookie monster eat fruit in this video if anything they aren't promoting good health but PEER PRESSURE! making cookie monster choose a cookie or fruit is so mean:( puppets didn't make kids fat is bad parenting! so leave cookie monster and his cookies alone:(

-Sincerely

GG a true cookie monster fan<3

[stardollmakeup13]

@RiptosRage why? he's probably right
