We'll all be up to our eyeballs in Sesame Street soon if we aren't already!  So spill the beans, who's your favorite Sesame Street character and why?

I was never allowed to watch it as a child and my kids haven't ever gotten into it either. So none really.

We haven’t watched too much Sesame Street actually! But DD has an alphabet app on her kindle that has Elmo and Cookie Monster, so those would probably be her fav!

Probably Cookie Monster. 

 

Cause I love cookies

According to my mom, mine was always Snuffleupagus.

I was always a Grover fan.  DS like Elmo a bunch and Cookie Monster.  He was Cookie Monster for Halloween when he was 2 and it was adorable.

I remember loving Snuffleupagus, and my sister and I liked to pretend to be Bert and Ernie.  I was also terrified of the Yip Yip aliens when I was 3 and had to leave the room when they came on

@LuckyPenny1231 I was scared of them too!  I can still remember a nightmare that I had that they were in my closet

My mom actually crocheted us a few Yipyips for the baby 🤣

I didn't watch as a kid but it was Ben's obsession from 18 months till about 2.5YO. And we live close enough to Sesame Place that we have season passes (but not this year). My favorite segment was Cookie and Gonger. Some of them are really flipping funny.

As a kid I loved Oscar the Grouch for some reason. I even dressed up as him for Halloween when I was 3! I also loved Grover and the Count. I guess I’m showing my age because none of them are really featured anymore. My kids like Cookie Monster and Gonger and Abby’s amazing adventures.

@willashbaby we went to Sesame Place last summer and DS loved it.  We wanted to go back again this year, but obviously that didn't work out.

My favorite was always Grover! DD is a big fan of Elmo now that she watches. We got her an Elmo toy and she was super suspicious because he didn’t talk and move 🤦🏼‍♀️ 

 Now that I’m getting into it again I agree with @willashbaby Im loving Cookie and Gonger, they are hilarious.

@luckypenny11 Ahhhhh! I was so terrified of them too!! Oh my gosh I even just had a visceral fear response seeing them hahahah

Ernie was always my fav. I love his rubber ducky song 🛀

Snuffalupogus here! I loved how he is like a friendly neighborhood mammoth.

@laurenspdx prime music has a bunch of Sesame Street’s greatest hits on it, so my kids have grown up listening (and dancing) to a lot of the old school Sesame Street songs!

I don't remember much about Sesame Street but according to my Mom I was way into other Jim Henson productions. Specifically Fraggle Rock and Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas (both of which I have on DVD now). 

As an adult I love the snarky Kermit memes.
