The Grouch Queen

 Performers:  Grundgetta  • ( Grouch )  Pam Arciero  • ( Muppeteer )  Earliest Known Appearance: Episode 2630  The Grouch  Queen  is a  Grouch  portrayed in the Sesame Street fairy tale "  Snow Grouch &amp; the Seven Dwarfs  ", a  spoof  of the " Snow White & the Seven Dwarves " story read by  OSCAR THE GROUCH  to his niece  Irvine  while she was fightin the  Grouch   Flu. The Grouch  Queen spoofs the Evil Queen, Snow White 's evil stepmother.

The fairy tale tells the story of a Grouch  Queen (portrayed by  Grundgetta ), who is the  Grouchiest   Grouch  in all the land. She knows this cause she asks her magic mirror the same question every morning: "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the grouchiest  of them all?". The Magic Mirror (voiced by Richard Hunt ) always responds with " You are, Queen . You 're the  Grouchiest   Grouch  in all the land". The Grouch  Queen 's daughter,  Snow Grouch , with every single passing year , got  grouchier  &  grouchier. The morning after Snow Grouch 's 18th birthday, the  Grouch  Queen asks the usual question, but this time the Mirror responded with, "The  Grouchiest  1 in all the land is  Snow Grouch ".

Jealous, the Queen banishes Snow Grouch  from the Kingdom -- or as  Oscar  puts it, "She told  Snow Grouch  to get lost!" Snow Grouch goes to live with the Seven Dwarfs, in their cottage in the woods.

The next morning, the Queen asks the Mirror her usual question, sure that since Snow Grouch  was gone, she was once again the  Grouchiest   Grouch  in the land. But Snow Grouch  is still the  Grouchiest  of them all; she's making the the Seven Dwarfs' cottage messier every day & throwing the the Seven Dwarfs out of their own cottage cause she wants them to get lost, & so she could take her daily mudbath in peace.

The furious Queen tricks Snow Grouch  into taking a bite of a magic sour lemon, which will turn her into a nice  Grouch. After she  bites the sour lemon,  Snow Grouch  starts cleaning up cottage, which made the  Grouch  Queen the  Grouchiest   Grouch  in all the land once more. But then, as luck would have it, a Grouch   Prince  (played by  Oscar ), who rode in on his dusty white horse, sees  Snow Grouch  cleaning the cottage, enters & yells -- "Hey,  you ! Snap out of it!".

With these words, the magic spell is broken , & Snow Grouch  is a true  Grouch  once more. So the Grouch   Prince  &  Snow Grouch  decided to get lost together, & lived  grouchily  ever after. Whether or not the Grouch  Queen figured out the breaking of her  daughter  's spell or not is never revealed.
