The meanest I think Oscar ever got was in the Christmas special where he hurls a million insults at Big Bird just as a train comes roaring by, and you can't hear anything he actually says, but you know it can't be very nice.

I've been trying to translate that dialogue for years. Lol. Anyway, it does seem like Oscar has softened up a little in recent years, examples being him reading "Trash Gordon" and the recent episode where he got the Rottondle, but of course they still keep his grouchy side. I mean, deep down he has a heart of gold, but of course he never wants anybody to know that so his grouchiness is a bit excessive at times. After all, he did seem extra grouchy in "The Street We Live On."
