Top Ten Sesame Street Characters

The Top Ten

1 Cookie Monster Cookie Monster Cookie Monster is a Muppet on the long-running children's television show Sesame Street. He is best known for his voracious appetite and his famous eating phrases, such as "Me want cookie!" "Me eat cookie!" and "Om nom nom nom".

Cookie Monster is THE best, hands down...I was 3-4 years old in the very early '70's, when Sesame Street itself was in it's infancy. I loved Cookie Monster then, and I love him now at age 51. The simple clean good humor of his cookie eating behavior and his signature "OM, NOM,NOM, NOM, is a timeless classic. If I ever had children, they would've been introduced to Cookie Monster rapidly.

Well other than his horrible speech he is my favorite sesame street character too - BreakFastBeast2005

Better Than Elmo, the show’s main focus. That shows how amazing this character is.

I love him. Especially in the parodies. C is for cookie and that's good enough for me o cookie, cookie, cookie starts with c

2 Elmo Elmo Elmo is a Muppet character on the children's television show Sesame Street. He is a furry red monster with a falsetto voice, who hosts the last full fifteen-minute segment on Sesame Street, "Elmo's World", which is aimed at toddlers.

Best character - ElSherlock

Elmo's the character ever! - andrewteel

I loved Elmo when I was little.

Epmo looks adorable, sounds adirable and IS adorable. His fluffy, furry red skin makes him the best, too. He is so good that he even has 15 minutes of the show dedicated to him, Elmo's world!

3 Big Bird Big Bird Big Bird is the main protagonist of the children's television show Sesame Street. Officially performed by Caroll Spinney since 1969, he is an eight-foot two-inch tall bright yellow anthropomorphic canary.

I feel Elmo's a bit too popular. Can we bring big bird higher? He's friendly, yellow and he is sesame Street. He IS.

Best character - ElSherlock

Big Bird is the guy. He's the face of Sesame Street.

Big Bird is the bomb. I mean, who can't love a huge fluffy bird?

4 Oscar

I hope he's not mean to Julia

Everyone bullies poor Oscar. They call him a grouch. Of course he's a grouch - he lives in an f-ing trash can!

Oscar doesn't deserve to be Number One on this list. Instead, he deserves to be at the very bottom because of how much of a bully he is. Hell, I remember him ruining Christmas for his neighbors in Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. If I'm any of those folks, I'd beat the crap out of him.

I love oscar he is grouchy just like I can be and even though he can be mean his behavior shows the children what not to do the people on sesame street use him to teach good manners lessons

5 Ernie Ernie

For me this should be number 3

He's the worst roommate ever, but he's great :0

Ernie is the best! I was him for Halloween!

He used to be my favorite character! Either this or Elmo! - funnyuser

6 The Count The Count

I count him as number 1.

The Count captured the hearts of parents and children being curious and humorous and enlightening.

My daughter's favorite character... when she was a little girl. She'd laugh and beg me to imitate him for hours!

What is funny is that he is a better vampire than Edward Cullen - 445956

7 Grover

I'll use my n word pass in a good way for him.

Grover is so funny! He brings a sense of humor to older kids from a show meant for three year olds. Elmo is overrated, Cookie Monster is cool, too, and so are Bert and Ernie. But Grover tops them all. I love to watch his encounters with Mr. Johnson, especially the "Speedy Pizza" special in the movie "Elmo's Magic Cookbook." (PS Good movie.) If you haven't heard of Grover and Mr. Johnson, I recommend looking it up. I have also always thought it is cool how he is Super Grover and Grover at the same time. Grover tops all others!

I like Grover because he is so funny!

I asked a kid in my class what color Grover was, and he asked who Grover is! I told him I was talking about Grover from Sesame Street, and he said he'd never seen the show. That explains his sick and twisted soul.

8 Bert

Bert is related to Squidward Tentacles from Spongebob Squarepants, Ren Hoek from Ren and Stimpy, Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc.

Reminds me of Squidward

Relatable character to be honest

I'm more similar to Bert while my brother is more similar to Ernie, it's such a coincidence. - Yorkshire2001

9 Kermit the Frog Kermit the Frog Kermit the Frog is a Muppet character and Jim Henson's most well-known creation. Introduced in 1955, Kermit is the straight man protagonist of numerous Muppet productions, most notably Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, as well as in movies, specials, and public service announcements through the years. ...read more.

Should be higher than Elmo to be honest.

Kermit was one of the biggest characters on the show when I was a kid. So a vote for Kermit it is.

Always liked Kermit the Frog

Kermit is from both the Muppets and Sesame Street

20 Julia

She Is My Inspiration I Have Autism As Well But My Is More Moderate And I Am 12

A new addition to Sesame Street and the first character with autism.
She's really cute, and her autistic traits are shown in a more positive light, being both sensitive and insightful towards the condition. - SuperSonic17

21 Mr. Snuffleupagus
22 Herbert Birdsfoot

Roosevelt is extremely underrated! People, Roosevelt was one of the main characters in Sesame Street's earliest years, so respect him and place him higher on this list!

Roosevelt deserves better!

This easily-irritated rabbit needs to come back! He's my favorite in 123 count with me! It's a shame that he retired in the late 90's along with the rest of the best characters! - medea7
