In many harvey Kneeslapper skits, harveys victims were normally one-shot anything muppets, or anything muppets who were pretty much only used in Harvey Kneeslapper skits. Fat Blue was in a few of them, Kermit was Harveys victim in a newsflash, and harvey has also appeared with Ernie in one skit (although Ernie wasn't really a victim), and with Big Bird and herry in the "ha ha ha" song (although they weren't victims either).

Which regular characters do you think should have been victims to harvey Kneeslapper?

heres who i think should have been victims:
Herbert Birdsfoot
Kermit The Frog (outside of Sesame Street News)
Prarie Dawn
Bert (I know they were performed by the same person, but back in the early years it was common for performers to have multiple characters in the same take, even if they were all random anything muppets)
Grover (ditto)
Guy Smiley
Farley
Rosevelt franklin

If Harvey Kneeslapper was still a regular character today, I think that Elmo and Telly could be victims at least once.

Okay. lemme think here...

Prairie Dawn would certainly give Harvey some good responses, by verbal or facial expression, for sure.

Bert? Oh, poor Bert. He gets tormented by Ernie enough as it is. I think an encounter with Harvey would send him to the loony bin.

Farley? Sure, he kinda rides the line of anything muppet and developed character so it could work.

Kermit outside NewsFlash? Yeah, he gets pummeled by the letter W in one skit and then he gets one slapped on his chest from Harvey. At that point, Kermit could very well quit or threaten to do so.

I think it would be funny if Harvey Kneeslapper went to lefty and bought a letter, let's say an O, the lefty needed his O back and asked lefty, "Here's your money back, will you please give me my O back?", harvey could say, "You want your O back", Lefty could say, "SHH!", harvey coudl whisper "you want your O back?", lefty could say "Riiight!", and harvey would slap it on lefty.

Or maybe somebody could say that they lost a letter and harvey could slap that letter on the person who lost it.

I wonder if an encounter between harvey and oscar would work well? Or an encounter between harvey and the Count ("That's one! One practical joke!").

Betty Lou would also make a good victim.

I think it would have been really cool to see Harvey Knee Slapper try to play a joke on Cookie Monster, and his plan backfires when Cookie devours the letter that Harvey is going to slap on him.

Cookie: Dum Dum De Dum Dum Dum

Harvey: Hey! Did you know that the sun rises in the east, and sets in the west?

Cookie: Oh

Harvey: One O, Coming right up!

(Harvey goes to slap an O on Cookie, but Cookie stops him and grabs hold of the O)

Cookie: Cowabunga! This look like Great big Delicious COOKIE!

Cookie Devours the O leaving Harvey feeling sad and crying instead of laughing.
