Grover. Weird and sensitive. Having pet chickens is a plus.
Ernie.
COOKIE MONSTER!!!!
Mine is cookie monster!
Grover has always been my favorite. He’s silly and sweet and always tries his best in his many many jobs.
That's a great photo!
Definitely the count, he's #1 in my book
Haha nice one dad
Beaker, I resonate with his relentless panicking.
The Swedish Chef. I only have some of the ingredients to his chocolate moose recipe .
I'm just now realizing it's Sesame Street.... Well it's my favourite from the expanded Sesame St Cinematic Universe.
I identify with Oscar.
Good choice
This an impossible choice, so I'll take two: Ernie & Bert :)
As moderator I approve
Typewriter Guy

But really, if it can be called a character, my favourite is the hand that starts number-pinball.
Thank you, those are wonderful!
Elmo and Grover!
Elmo is still so darn cute and thanks to him we got the joys of Mr. Noodle. Plus, he’s got so many memes of him lol
Grover is earnest and quirky, and his voice is fun. And he’s blue!
Oef, it is a tight race between Animal (as I am a drummer as well) and Cookiemonster (I had a shirt of him that was my favorite shirt ever). I think Cookie is the winner tho.
Animal is great! I love that you both drum
God that's really hard.
It's probably one of the little oddball ones you never see like the aliens that go yip.
I vibe with the Swedish Chef and Kermit himself.
Elmo, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster are my favorites.
Hm, hard to choose. Cookie Monster appeals to the hedonist in me. Ernie is just a sweet loveable goof. I'm an accountant, so.... Count, natch. Pulling from the larger muppetverse, Swedish Chef embodies me trying to be less perfect and embrace a gleeful "fuck it" attitude. Animal is pure unmedicated ADHD. And I have been known to have full blown Beaker freakouts.
I love Beaker too! He's like me when I'm anxious
Gonzo was always my favorite, followed by Count.
