  • Cookie Monster Stars in Wolf of Sesame Street

    Wolf of Wall Street didn’t win the Oscar for best picture, but it did indeed rock. A couple of USC film students shared those same thoughts but decided to do a little tribute of their own with a creative Wolf and cookies mashup…And I mean lots of cookies.

    I mean it makes sense, right? Both titles end in the same word. Why wouldn’t you want to combine the movie and the children’s show?

    In the short clip (I know-I wish it was longer too) Cookie Monster plays Leonardo DiCapro’s role while his close buddy Elmo fills in for Jonah Hill.

    I think the parallel between Cookie Monster and DiCaprio’s insatiable hunger for more makes the Sesame Street character a perfect shoe-in for the coveted role of Wall Street guru Jordan Belfort.

    Matthew McConaughey even makes an appearance too!

    Wolf of Sesame Street features our favorite childhood characters swearing and partaking in a world beyond the quaint, alphabet-learning, fuzzy realm in which we once lived in.

    So without further ado, check out the insanely wild, curiously fun Wolf of Sesame Street. Oh, and by the way, the clip isn’t really that suitable for work.

    And apparently, cookies weren’t enough.

  • ‘Cookie Monster’ Arrested For Pushing a Two-Year-Old

    Cookie Monster is well-known to have an obsession (addiction?) to cookies, but it seems that the blue Sesame Street character can also become a bit belligerent when he doesn’t get paid.

    According to a New York Post report, a man dressed as Cookie Monster in Times Square assaulted a two-year-old boy this weekend.

    The man, named Osvaldo Quiroz-Lopez, is reported to have posed for a picture with the child and then pressured the boy’s mother for two dollars (for cookies, presumably). According to police, when the mother refused to tip, the man “cursed her” and pushed the boy to the ground. Quiroz-Lopez was arrested on charges of reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child.

    This isn’t the first time costumed characters have run afoul of the law in New York City. In December 2012, a man dressed as the video game character Mario in Times Square was arrested for placing his hand on a woman’s thigh. In June 2012, a man named Adam Sandler (not that Adam Sandler) was arrested while wearing an Elmo costume and going on an anti-Semitic tirade in Central Park.

  • Cookie Monster Uses Google Play To Get In Shape

    Google, per its mission statement, wants to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible. The company also would like you to reinvent yourself by using its numerous products.

    For New Year’s, Google posted to its official blog, a list of ways to use Google products to eat better, get fiscally fit, travel more, and learn something new. I won’t rehash all of that here, but within the post (in the “Eat Better” section), Google included a new video about how to use Google Play to eat better, and took advantage of Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster to do so.

    This is not the first time Google has turned to Muppets to sell its products. You may recall this commercial featuring the actual Muppets using Google+ Hangouts.

  • So, This Cookie Monster “Call Me Maybe” Parody Now Exists

    The “summer of Call Me Maybe” has reached its logical conclusion, as Sesame Street has decided to jump on the bandwagon and release their own parody of the megahit.

    Since first appearing on Youtube back in March, Carly Rae Jespen’s infectious tribute to the casual summer fling has amassed nearly 150 million views. The track’s popularity has spawned dozens of parodies and covers from the likes of Jimmy Fallon, the Miami Dolphins cheerleading squad, the Harvard baseball team, and it even appeared on this year’s Miss America pageant.

    And now, Cookie Monster gets his turn. Not much for romantic engagements, his one-track mind has him thinking about only one thing.

    “Hey, me just met you – and this is crazy. But you got COOKIE! So share it maybe.”

    So, how does Cookie Monster’s version compare to the original?
