Why did sesame street replace cookie monster with vegetable monster?

Answer 1

because some snoty stuck up parents told the Sesmie Street Directors it was a bad influence on kids.(I wonder why they didn't complain about Polly Pocket making cars without seatbelts.)

I agree the vegie moster is like a hippy conspiricy or a health freak.Only weird people would actually like that.I hate those people who got rid of him! (cry-sob-cry)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i heard it was because kids would like shove cookies in their face like he does and then choke and die. But I luv the cookie monster. wtfiu with the Carrot Monster? Maybe now they might think that the word monster is a bad influence and change it to the carrot care bear or something!

Carrot monster is just creepy. I think Cookie monster was better! I don't like the people who replaced Cookie monster with Carrot monster.

Well, I remember the sketch that made Cookie Monster become Veggie Monster. He met a giant cookie named "The Monster Cookie" in his dream. The Monster Cookie tells Cookie Monster a sad story on how he became that way. The Monster Cookie was also a blue furry monster also. But eating too many cookies made him transformed into one, And regrets that he never ate healthy treat. When Cookie Monster wakes up from his dream and sobbed "What a dream! Oh. Very sad!" And when he looks at a cookie, he says to a cookie "OH! No-No-No-No! No! No! Me never eat cookies ever again! NO! From now on me eat carrots! Yeah! (Eats carrots, OM-NOM-NOM-NOM!) And fish! (Eats fish, OM-NOM-NOM-NOM!) And whole wheat bread! (Eats whole wheat bread, OM-NOM-NOM-NOM!) And no cookies! Sorry, cookie. Me no can you ever....Say are you talking, Cookie? Are you crying, Cookie? HMM! (Eats cookie, OM-NOM-NOM-NOM!) Well, Maybe sometime a cookie?

Answer 2

They didn't replace cookie monster at all: some reporters went berserk over the song "cookie is a sometimes food". they claimed it was cookie monster's new song. What they didn't pay attention to was the fact that it was Hoots who sang it, not cookie monster, and the fact that at the end, cookie monster yells "NOW is sometimes!" and eats a cookie.
