Oscar's Grouch Jamboree



 Oscar ' s  Grouch  Jamboree  is a 1994 Sesame Street storybook starring  OSCAR THE GROUCH

OSCAR THE GROUCH narrates his visit to the  Grouch  Jamboree , where  Grouches  &  grouchy  Monsters assemble for a carnival. Every Grouch  at the Jamboree is in an individual  trash can  ; they seem to hop around in their  trash cans. Some of them also wear their trash can  lids like hats.

The 1st event is the Yucchy Car Rally, & Oscar  hopes that his go-cart will win "ugliest vehicle". The prize is taken by Oswaldo.

Next is the contest for most disgusting food, but Oscar 's super-deluxe sardine, anchovy & hot fudge sundae doesn't take the prize.

The next contest is for Yucchiest Pet, &  Oscar  hopes that his worm  Slimey  & noisy dog  Betsy , will win this year. The judge awards the prize to Grundgetta, who has a  muddy  piglet. Oscar also loses the contests for  Grouchy  Crafts. He hopes to win the Pie Sling, but that ends up getting canceled cause Oswaldo  forgot to bake the pies.

Frustrated with his string of losses, Oscar  decides to get his Junk Band together to play for the grand finale. Grundgetta, Travis ,  Filthomena  &  Oswaldo  join  Oscar  to play a really crummy  song.

In appreciation, the Grouches  give  Oscar  a special award -- a pie in the face. He's thrilled. He says "Now that's a prize to make a Grouch  proud!"
