Oscar the Grouch lives in a trash can on Sesame Street. He has shaggy, green fur all over. There is nothing in the world that he likes more than trash. He keeps just about every piece of garbage imaginable in his can. He loves all kinds of things that other people disapprove of: rotten eggs, broken toys, mud, and loud unpleasant noise. On the other hand, he hates the things that most people love, things like flowers, ice cream, kittens, romantic music, and people being nice to one another. Whenever someone knocks on his can, he goes into a grouchy rage, yelling at them to scram. And yet when they leave, Oscar finds himself unsatisfied. Who will he scream at now?Besides trash, Oscar has many other things in his can. He is a grouch, after all, and it's his home, so he has practically set up housekeeping in there. He has revealed that he has many things inside that one would doubt could possibly fit in the can, like a piano and a swimming pool. Oscar also has a handful of pets, including a worm named Slimey and an elepahant named Fluffy (all we ever see of her is her trunk). His pets have varied over the years. Various family members have paid Oscar visits from time to time. Elders in his family include his mother, grandmother, and his grandfather. He also has a niece named Irvine whom he often baby-sits. His significant other is a lady grouch named Grungetta, who he sometimes addresses as Grungie.Despite his distaste for people, Oscar, like everyone on Sesame Street, is nice to kids. He's even set up his own Grouchketeer club (you can always tell a grouchketeer because he's the one with the thumb in his ear). They help him collect more trash or make loud noises.Oscar has a number of transportation modes. Sometimes he can stick his feet out the bottom of his can and walk around that way. Other times, his can is carried around by Bruno, a trashman of few words. Oscar can also drive. He owns a broken-down taxi, as well as a car he calls the Sloppy Jalopy. Show less «
