Oscar the Grouch is a Muppet character on the television program Sesame Street.
Oscar has a green body (during the 1969-1970 season, however, he was orange), has no nose, and lives in a trash can. His favorite thing in life is trash; evidence for this include the fact that he has never been shown outside his trash can on a single episode, and the song "I Love Trash". He's known as "The Grouch" because of his typically grouchy moods, which tend to be on the whiney side, although he can also be very clever. Also, he is of the grouch species. Some say he is very smart.
In Oscar's trashcan
Characters that have gone into Oscar's trashcan
- Buffy St. Marie, when she was visiting Sesame Street
- David's Grandma, who freaked out on Oscar. She came out clean, Oscar dirty, implying she must have actually beat Oscar up.
- Bob, who climbed into Oscar's can, only to get burnt by Oscar's pet fire-breathing dragon, get covered in muck head to foot, and get his clothes torn by the mess.
- One of Bob's friends, who fixed something in Oscar's can
- Bert, both time in the 1970s, when Bert moved out of his and Ernie's apartment (he also tries to clean up Oscar's can, which leads to a confrontation), and when he was trying to surprise Big Bird
- Maria, in the late 1970s, to get a cup of sugar
- Irvine, episode 2606, Oscar's niece was in the can while Oscar was away

Oscar in pop-culture
Oscar inspired an Apple Macintosh hack written by Eric Shapiro and shown at the 1989 MacHack conference, featuring a singing animated Oscar that appeared from the trash can whenever a file was thrown away. 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)
