Talk:Oscar the Grouch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm looking for evidence about 1) whether or not Oscar actually has been seen outside of his trash can on any episode, and 2) why anyone would say Oscar is particularly smart. Comments? -Ryguasu
Don't forget that Oscar represents the _homeless_ in NYC. (Of course he's a grouch! You'd be grouchy too...) -zuzu
Can we vote on 2)? I vote he is not smart, as he lives in a garbage can. That must be smelly. 65.80.103.232 17:13, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Well, it only looks like a garbage can. It is actually an entry into hammerspace. How else would he keep a pet elephant in there! --Knife Knut 01:35, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and I don't even think he has legs, so I doubt anyone has seen him outside the garbage can. 65.80.103.232 17:14, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I thought I saw him in a car once Terrible Tim 16:01, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Um, the image for this article doesn't exist....I'm removing the image link until someone can point me to a working copy. Flockmeal 04:41, Feb 18, 2004 (UTC)
- Um, have you read the top of Wikipedia:Village pump? --mav
- Aha, thanks, I had not. All is clear now. --Flockmeal 20:41, Feb 18, 2004 (UTC)
there was 1 in the 70s where Big Bird was in there and he comes out to talk to some of the adults and Oscar yell out. hey! what are all these yellow feathers doing in my swimming pool? don't rememebr what it was about.
"The hack was so popular that some parents lost the entire contents of their hard disks to preschoolers wanting to see more of Oscar. (Late Nights with MacHack, p. 27)"

- It's quite funny (it certainly made me laugh), but it sounds urband legend-ish. Is there any possible way to even remotely confirm this? It's just not encyclopedic as is, which stinks because it's such a neat thing to have in the article. -- DocSigma 14:56, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
"Oscar the Grouch" has been a proverbial term for somebody who acquires many hand-me-downs from people who are getting rid of them." Is it really? Can anyone back this up?
I'm surprised that the grouchkateers were not mentioned...is there a reason for that
