Snuffy's "Abuse"

[D'Snowth]

It seems to me that besides Ernie and Bert being the butt of gay jokes, slurs, jabs, etc, that the one character from the show that gets just as much "abuse" from people is Snuffy.

Granted, it's not as bad as the Ernie and Bert gay speculations, but Snuffy sure is made the butt of quite a few jokes himself... mostly depression jokes... like when Big Bird was on Jimmy Kimmel a few months ago, Jimmy mentioned to Big Bird how Snuffy never seems really happy and could probably benefit from "a bucket full of coffee"; or when Nostalgia Critic described him as "a big, hairy Dumbo, but with depression".

Those two I believe we can forgive, but still, I think that Snuffy receives almost as much flack from the media as Ernie and Bert being "gay".

I've never really heard of this "rumor" until now.

And at first I thought you were referrignt o complaints form old school fans about Snuffy being seen by the adults.
