The grouch you can depend on! ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

Oscar the Grouch is cool!

I learned early in life that you can always depend on the ol' Osk to comfort you and make you feel better. If you need something, Oscar will get it for you lickety-split!

Like when Ernie lost his prized rubber duckie...



The ol' Osk buyed Ernie a brand new duck to replace the one Ernie carelessly lost! How nice!

Count on Oscar. He'll do favors like that for you. He works all day collecting trash so his friends on Sesame Street can have nicer lives. He's the guy to go to for rubber duckie replacement. I don't think Oscar can replace my birth certificate that's lost (the original was lost several years ago, and the replacement that cost $40 has since been lost too), but he can replace rubber duckies!

At 22 seconds into this clip, notice that Ernie has a Poo-Poo Cushion.

There's a happy ending to this 'Sesame Street' skit. It turns out Bert didn't flush Ernie's rubber duckie down the toilet after all, nor did Mr. Snuffle-Upagus steal it to use as a sex toy. The duck is found safe and sound!

And Oscar the Grouch has a spare squeaky toy for emergencies like this!
