Cookie Monster is a popular Muppet character on the children's television show Sesame Street. He is covered with blue fur and has "googly eyes", but he is most known for his voracious appetite (which is apparently hereditary, as both his father and mother share the same food choices as him) and his famous eating sound "Omm nom nom nom". He can (and often does) eat anything and everything (even eating the four letters in the word "food", salt and pepper shakers, a napkin, and even a telephone, as well as other foods like danishes, donuts, a painting of a cookie and even an attempt at eating Guy Smiley), but his favorite choice of food above everything else is cookies, hence his name; in a song in 2004, Cookie Monster revealed that, before he ate his first cookie, he says he believes his name was Sid. (Chocolate-chip cookies are his favorite kind; oatmeal cookies are his second favorite.) The character has been performed by Frank Oz and David Rudman. He is known to have a mother, a younger sister, and an identically-designed cousin. He also has a father, who appeared in a Monsterpiece Theater sketch, that is a strong adherent for energy conservation, water conservation and environmentalism.
