I was thinking the other day about how amusing I find the nicknames Oscar has had for other Muppets as well as humans throughout the course of Sesame Street. :grouchy:

Bob - Tenor Tonsils
Luis- Mr. Bad Wrench
Maria- Skinny
Big Bird- Turkey
Elmo- Pink Face (one of my personal favorites)

Are there any I've forgotten? I'm sure he's come up with others.

I don't recall him ever calling Bob "Tenor Tonsils", but I DO remember him calling Bob "Bright Eyes".

He also once refered to Elmo as "The Little Red Menace" (HAW), and Telly as "The Little Worry-Wort".

He called Bill Cosby "Ph.D. Face" in the 20th anniversary special.
