The Letter C

Hmmm, now what starts with the letter C/Cookie starts with C/Let's think of other things that start with C/Oh who cares about those other things!



Cookie Monster

Cookie Monster is just as his name implies. He's a big, blue, furry, googly-eyed monster with a simplistic diction and a voracious appetite for anything, from apples to hubcaps. Of course, his favorite will always be a nice, round chocolate chip cookie, which he'll devour in an instant, making loud munching noises.

Despite his sometimes animalistic nature when it comes to food, he has a very large vocabulary, primarily displayed in his role as the gentrified Alistair Cookie, host of Monsterpiece Theater. Although mainly playing the role of host, he would sometimes join as a member of the production, participating in works like Conversations With My Father and Twin Beaks.

The shift in recent years to healthy eating caused a rumor to float around the Cookie would be changed to "Veggie Monster" or he would be dropped altogether. The rumors were refuted in an interview with Matt Lauer on an episode of Sesame Street, where Cookie explained how the media blows things out of proportion and his favorite food is still the cookie, but that he'll eat it as dessert after he finishes all his vegetables.

Also Sesame Street is too smart to think kids will practice poor eating habits because one character on their show enjoys cookies.

Crazy Harry

The Muppet Show's pyrotechnics expert, the unkempt, wild eyed Crazy Harry loves blowin shit up. That's his deal. He blows things up when things need to be blown up or when someone makes a pun involving things that blow up.

In addition to his explosive talent (BOOM) with pyrotechnics, he's also skilled on the triangle and an instrument known as the "Explodaphone," which is several explosive plungers arranged in a xylophone-like fashion.

This is all that matters about Crazy Harry.

Camilla

The object of The Great Gonzo's affection, Camilla is...a chicken. Although while he loves Camilla the most, he tends to romance many chickens, mainly because "they all look the same."

Okay so I know Gonzo is a whatever-he-is, but it makes me wonder: Is it a natural attraction because of his species or is it simply because he's just a weirdo, a one-of-a-kind creature with an affinity for fowl play.

Count von Count


I heard a heavy step approaching behind the great door, and saw through the chinks the gleam of a coming light. Then there was the sound of rattling chains and the clanking of massive bolts drawn back. A key was turned with the loud grating noise of long disuse, and the great door swung back.

Within, stood a short old man, clean shaven and possessing a monocle, and clad in black from head to foot, without a single speck of colour about him anywhere save for his purple skin. He held in his hand an antique silver lamp, in which the flame burned without a chimney or globe of any kind, throwing long quivering shadows as it flickered in the draught of the open door. The old man motioned me in with his right hand with a courtly gesture, saying in excellent English, but with a strange intonation.
"One! One guest in my castle! Ah ah ah!"

Named The Count because he loves counting (and because he inherited the title from his father), Count von Count will count anything regardless of size or number, when he finishes counting he announces the total number of items and laughs, usually accompanied by thunder and lightning.

The Count resides in a large European-style castle overlooking Sesame Street. Resembling a vampiric castle, it is covered in cobwebs, decaying, has a pipe organ and is "infested" with bats. In addition to his pet bats, he also has a cat and an octopus.

The Count is better than most vampires.
