Cookie Monster was always my favorite Sesame Street character (and possibly my favorite children's character of all time, though I might have to give that one some more thought before I commit to it). Cookie is 100% pure id, and about as entertaining and endearing as could be imagined.
Last night I went on a Cookie Monster clip rampage on YouTube. In case you need a little Cookie to brighten up your day, here's what I found (embedded video doesn't work in RSS though, so head on over to the actual post):
