Unfortunately, I truly doubt this is Frank Oz (original puppeteer of Cookie Monster for 30 years, along with Grover, Yoda, Miss Piggy, Fozzie).

Frank Oz has pretty much distanced himself away from the people currently running the Muppets. He said in an Onion interview that the puppets were seen as owned by other people, and that his touch into the procedure wasn't appreciated.

It's too bad, too. Really, too bad.

Big Bird's original puppeteer for 35ish years has retired too, you know.

Best episode of Family Guy. I made everyone watch it to be similarly horrified by druggie Cookie.

Also, I just realized that Cookie Monster originated the OM NOM NOM thing that is popular in lolcats. Love.

Wikipedia says that Caroll Spinney still does Big Bird.

That was not funny at all. And the Onion arts section isn't satirical.

They and their AV Club contain frequent, authentic interviews.

The Onion has an actually pretty decent interview section with various musicians, directors, artists, etc. Some of the questions are goofy, and they leave in the ah's and um's, but they are legitimate interviews.

 
semiotix 2008-02-17 04:39:27 PM  
iagomonk: You realize the Onion is satire, yes?

Only the front part. In the back they're sort of a generic alt-whatever tabloid with columns and interviews and such. AKA "The Onion A.V. Club" for purists.

Perhaps there is another Onion interview with Frank Oz. I'm not getting that vibe from this:

Cookie's Letter of the Day Rap for Letter R:

Kick it
Now me show you letter R
Letter R make sound like RUH
And me not going to eat it
Though me really wish me were
Cuz me love letter R
Me love it hotter than a sauna
ME would gobble R right up
Except me promise me not gonna
Oh letter R make tummy rumble
Me repeat me want to chew it
Me regret me got to tell you
Me not gonna do it
Cuz although me really hungry
To eat R would be wrong
Cuz me rule is no eat letter
While me singing letter song


/yup, have a 2-year old and a DVR....

Just watched the video. Interesting and mildly funny, until the end when CM aggressively fellates a radio microphone. It's not raping your childhood; it's your childhood raping something else.

If that is true Caroll retired within the last 4 months. Last shoot I did with him he was still doing Big Bird.

Almost all the original muppets are performed by the original cast members.

Everybody has known for years that Bert was the one who killed Mr. Hooper.

You've seen nothing until you've seen the entire Cookie Monster visit to Martha Stewart's television show. YA RLY.

Sesame Street shark-jumping moments: Telly the neurotic monster who teaches kids to worry about every damn thing and Elmo the farking annoying ADHD monster who teaches kids how to be hyper.

The biggest shark of all, of course, was Jim Henson's death, but I can't really blame CTW for that. I hadn't realized the Frank Oz wasn't involved anymore, but it doesn't surprise me.
