Scram!
~ Oscar's catchphrase.
Yep. Elmo got sucked down through a door in my can to Grouchland, U.S.A.
~ Oscar reveals that Elmo was being sucked to Grouchland to Sesame Street citizens in "The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland".

Oscar the Grouch (born June 1, 1939) is a major character in the Sesame Street franchise.

He always lives up to the species he is, a grouch, who is miserable, pessimistic, argumentative, unhygienic, rude, and just plain grouchy. He is the main antagonist from 1969 to 1990, one of the supporting characters from 1991 to 2005 and one of the main protagonists from 2006 to present. Like Big Bird, he was portrayed by the late Caroll Spinney, the late Jim Henson and currently performed by Eric Jacobson. In the Japanese dub from the series, he was voiced by Tōru Ōkawa.


Biography[]

Past[]

Oscar was born on June 1, 1939, to Pop and Oscarina Grouch in the suburbs of Grouch Land. He had an older brother named Ernest, whom he despised due to him being the favorite kid in the family. He was given a tattered sneaker when he was born, which he claimed was a gift from his mother.

Oscar grew up with Felix The Grouch, who he got along with. In high school, Oscar attended Miss Blechman's english class who often wrote made him write his name in a chalkboard one hundred times, when he was acting grouchy. She claimed that Oscar was the most rotten kid in her class. Oscar never attended college, but always had a desire to go to Putrid University (P.U.) which he would graduate online years later, when he took a Grouchology class.

In late 1968 or January 1969, Oscar’s father died which led Oscar to finally moved out of Grouch Land in order to start a new life with the discouragement of his mother. He was wandering around until he finally found a trash can in 123 Sesame Street which he made his home. He had last seen Ernest the day of his father’s funeral, and the two would never see each other again in years.

Oscar lives in a trash can between Big Bird's nest and 123 Sesame Street building; as of Season 46, his trash can has relocated to a dumpster unit outside the left windows of 123 Sesame Street, and has the ability to pop up in different trash receptacles. He has also been the longtime arch-rival of Big Bird and Elmo. Oscar has had many pets, but his closest companion is a worm Slimey. He also has a girlfriend, a grouch named Grundgetta although a romantic relationship between two grouches is understandably rocky. Grundgetta usually calls him Oskie while he occasionally calls her Grungie. Telly and Elmo both consider Oscar to be a close friend, although Oscar disputes this since Telly and Elmo are the two monsters that Oscar doesn't like at all. However, Oscar reluctantly confirmed in Grouchland that Elmo was indeed his friend.
