Grouches

 GROUCHES  are a race o f very  GROUCH Y , pessimistic , grumpy ,  rotten  , miserable ,  UN  pleasant , argumentative ,  me an  &  UN  hygenic furry creatures who are the exact oppo site of regular hum an bei ns. Everything that th ey like  GROUCHES  hate w / a passion.  GROUCHES  also would never be caught dead living any where that is clean, l ook s n i c e , & has little to no filth or mud  anywhere. They also absolutely  HATE  true love w / a big passion & try their absolute best to  NEVER  fall in l o ve. 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 in broken cars , crummy old house s ( & , i n a few case s , " yucky beautiful house s " ). It is  crucial  to note that  GROUCHES  simply  are   not  M o n s t e r s.

Being as  GROUCHY  & miserable as they possibly can be is any  GROUCH  ' s main mission in life. They also feel that they have to make everyone else feel the same way. Even though that makes them happy, however , a  GROUCH  will never admit to being happy no matter what the circumstances. 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 , without a doubt , the 2  GROUCH  iest  GROUCHES  in the world.

Anything a  GROUCH  like s is best described ( to you & me only ) as  anything   DIRTY   or   DINGY   or   DUSTY ,  anything   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 normally keep elephants , WORMS , pigs , goat s , & donkeys as pet s  , eat  U N  desirable food s ( particular l y sar dine s ) , sing out - o f - t u n e , play radio s at the h i gh e st volume , & b a t h e in  MUD  as t h ey hate bein 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  " , " go a way " , or even " b eat i t " & several other s.

Even though  OSCAR THE GROUCH  & his girlfriend  GRUNDGETTA  are the  GROUCH iest  most famous  GROUCHES  ever, over the years , a very big number of  GROUCHES  have been introduced to the world. Many re s ide down i n  GROUCH  l a n d U S A, a disgusting place that can only be reached by enter ing  OSCAR  ' S  TRASH CAN  on SESAME STREET. Many of the new  GROUCHES  were actually made to completely spoof  important figures in to day ' s world. Some of those known  GROUCHES  are  Spill O ' Reilly ,  Donald Grump  ,  Walter Crank y  ,  Dan Rather - not  ,  Oprah GROUCH Y  ,  Meredith Beware - a  ,  Diane Spoil er  ,  Snow GROUCH  ,  SALLY MESSY YUCKYAEL  as well as many other s.  GROUCHES  also figured prominently in both  SESAME STREET  film s, the 1985 film Follow That  BIRD  & especially t h e 1 999 fi lm ,  The Adventure s of  Elmo  in  GROUCH  land . Al so, the latter  explain ed t hat most  Grouches  actually co me f r o m  GROUCH  l a n 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 ly , 25 new  GROUCH  puppet s were made for the film  ( & then reused in variations t o create a large  GROUCH  population ). Many of these are still used on the show  today.

However, some  GROUCHES  actually have secret soft spots.  OSCAR THE GROUCH  has shown that several times. He has done so b y, in the special Christ mas Eve on  SESAME   STREET  , going out to look for the missing BIG BIRD , letting Rizzo the Rat sleep in his  TRASH CAN  in A Muppet Family Christ mas , taking care of a lost kitten in  SESAME STREET   EPISODE 3120  , un willingly falling in love with  GRUNDGETTA  in  EPISODE 3519  , & on several other occasions. However, he  always does his best to hide that soft spot by driving e v e r y o n e on SESAME STREET  crazy .
