From 1987, Cookie Monster gets down with his bad self as he rhymes and raps about the importance of eating more than just cookies, in a much cooler way, I might add, than "Cookies are a Sometime Food."

This copy of the video is a little raw (which makes it seem even more Old School), but the atleast audio is decent and uninterrupted (meaning there are no overlaping sound effects like in Monster Hits! where the beginning and end has applause)

Anyway, Enjoy this rad Chris Cerf classic =)

  • People need to realize Cookie Monster eats everything.

  • Exactly.

  • The fact that this was made in '87 will hopefully get those annoying people who think that cookie monster is veggie monster to open their eyes and stop listening to the stupid rumors circulating.

  • Good point. Infact, people should have realized that this existed before that freaking rumor started (Pardon my french.)

    The thing of it is though, if you've actually seen the 2005 sketch, Cookies are a Sometime Food, you see him eating fruits and veggies for about five seconds (which is enough torture already). Yet here, he doesn't take a bite out of any of the fruits and veggies. He just throws them around and uses them for aerobics XD

  • Cookie Monster was always about eating everything. Cookies, Fruits, vegetables... trucks, foam rubber letters, on one occasion he tried to eat Guy Smiley... I still believe the "Veggie Monster" rumor was made by Sesame Workshop for free publicity for the show.

  • True, but I don't think Sesame Workshop would be doing it just to get publicity. This whole thing was just blown out of proportion by today's blood-thirsty news press (Evil greedy bastards).

  • Cookies are a sometime food as Elmo says

  • I remember watching this video on the "Let's Eat!" VHS, and I liked it. This was before we had the trouble with Veggie Monster.

  • yo real talk, cookie monster can throw down some sick beats

  • @hoopersghost

    During that sketch with Maria on healthy snacks, he didn't like healthy foods at first. But when she tempted him with one carrot stick--he proceeded to eat the carrot sticks, the cucumber spheres, the raisins, and the apples.

  • @wattamack4

    Or eating cookies 24/7, or even Molly from The Big Comfy Couch--eating donuts 24/7 (I've watched the show, and apparently, donuts are her favorite food)

  • I agree with Jbragwynne53 on this...heck, he learned the Healthy Food lesson and the "Cookies are a Sometimes food" lesson the hard way during that one sketch with Maria on healthy snacks (you know, carrot sticks, cucumber spheres, raisins, and apples).

  • damn, the cookie monster is killin da mic.

    

  • wait, people were freaking out about rumours involving a muppet?..

  • haha this brings back memories

  • LI$TEN TO THE RE$PON$E VER$ION OF HEALTHY FOODS ABOVE!
