Grouches

 GROUCHES  are a race o f very  GROUCH Y , pessimistic , grumpy ,  ROTTEN  , miserable ,  UN  pleasant , argumentative ,  me an  &  UN  hygienic furry creatures who are t he exact opposite of normal hum an be i n g s. Every thin g that t h e y like  GROUCHES  hate w / a passion.  GROUCHES  also would never be caught dead living any where that i s clean, look s n ice , & has little to no filth or  MUD  any where. They also absolutely  HATE  true love w / a big passion & try their absolute best to  NEVER  fall in love. They  HATE  getting kisses & hug s from anybody,  ESPECIALLY  other  GROUCHES  , even if that hug or kiss is a sign of friend ship. They also pre fer to live wherever  TRASH  will be found :  TRASH CANS ,  DUMPSTER S  ,  CITY DUMP S  , even  LAND F ILL S . How ever, some  GROUCHES  live i n broke n car s , crummy old house s ( & , i n a few case s , "  YUCK Y  beautiful house s " ). It i s  CRUCIAL  to note that  GROUCHES  simply  ARE   NOT  M o n s t e r s.

Be in g as  GROUCH Y  & miserable as they possibly can be is any  GROUCH  ’ s main mission i n life. They also feel that they have to make every one else feel the same way. Eve n though that make s them happy, how eve r , a  GROUCH  will never admit to be in g happy no matter what the circumstance s. Such is the stability of a  GROUCH  ’ s life : s o balance d, & yet so  UN  balance d.  OSCAR THE GROUCH  is especially aware of this, as is his  girl friend  GRUNDGETTA  , as they are , with out a doubt , the 2| 2   GROUCH  i est  GROUCHES  in the world.

Anything a  GROUCH  like s is best described ( to you & me only ) as  any thin g   DIRTY   or   DINGY   or   DUSTY ,  any thin g   RAGGED   or   ROTTEN   or   RUSTY  or  TRASHY  to describe it in a couple word s. They will only buy appliance s that don ' t work, they normal l y keep  ELEPHANT S  ,  WORM S  , pig s  ,  goat s  , &  donkey s  a s  pet s  , eat  U N  desirable food s ( particular l y sardine s ) , sing o u t - o f - t u n e , play radio s at the h i g h e st volume , & b a t h e in  MUD  as t h e y hate be in g clean.  GROUCHES  al s o like to u s e p h r a se s, s u c h a s "  S CRAM  " , "  G E T   L OST  " , "  G O   A WAY  " , or eve n "  B E AT   I T  " & several other s.

Even though  OSCAR THE GROUCH  & his girl friend  GRUNDGETTA  are the  GROUCH i est  most famous  GROUCHES  ever, over the y ear s , a very big number of  GROUCHES  have been introduce d to the world. Many re side down in  GROUCH  l a n d U S A, a disgusting place that can only be reached by enter in g  OSCAR  ’ s  TRASH CAN  on  SESAME STREET . Many of the new  GROUCHES  were actually made to completely spoof  important figure s in to day ' s world. Some o f those k n o w n  GROUCHES  a r e Spill O ’ Reilly ,  DONALD GRUMP  ,  WALTER C RANK Y  ,  DAN RATHER - NOT  ,  Oprah  GROUCH Y  ,  Meredith Beware - a  ,  Diane Spoil e r  ,  Snow  GROUCH  ,  SALLY MESSY YUCKY A E L  as well as many other s.  GROUCHES  also figured prominently in both  SESAME STREET  film s , the  1 9 8 5   film   Follow That  BIRD  & especially t h e  1 999   film  ,  The Adventure s of  Elmo  in  GROUCH  land . Al so, the latter  explain ed t hat most  GROUCH E S  actually co me f r o m  GROUCH  l an d U S A  , presented a s  OSCAR  ’ s home town , though many  GROUCHES  have been found  internationally  also. According to the production notes for  Elmo  in  GROUCH  land , apparent l y , 2 5 new  GROUCH  puppet s were made for t he film  ( & t hen re use d in variation s t o create a large  GROUCH  population ). Many of these are still used on the show  today.

How eve r, some  GROUCH E S  actually have secret soft spots.  OSCAR THE GROUCH  has shown that several times. He has done so by, in t he special  Christ mas  Eve Eve on  SESAME   STREET  , going out to look for the missing  BIG BIRD  , letting  Rizzo the Rat  sleep i n  his   TRASH CAN  i n  A Muppet Family Christ mas  , taking care of a lost kitten in  SESAME STREET   EPISODE 3 1 2 0  , un willingly falling in love with  GRUNDGETTA  in  EPISODE 3 5 1 9  , & on several other occasions. How eve r, he  always does his best to hide that soft spot by driving  e v e r y o n e  on  SESAME STREET   crazy .
