Oscar the Grouch lives in a trash can on Sesame Street. There is nothing in the world that he likes more than trash. 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. Oscar also has a handful of pets, including a worm named Slimey and an elepahant named Fluffy. Despite his distaste for people, Oscar, like everyone on Sesame Street, is nice to kids. He's even set up his own Grouchketeer club. Oscar can also drive. He owns a broken-down taxi, and a car he calls the Sloppy Jalopy.
