Did You Know That We Learn Stereotypes As Children?

So...The 'Avatar' thread, where popular Sesame Street characters were discussed, prompted us to think about how popular kid's show characters would be 'labeled' in today's society...

What started out as an off-handed remark about Snuffy and Eeyore being 'emo', turned into an entire discussion here (Hey, it was fun...Seri and Stupid Shane chimed in, too :p)

So...I'll give you what we came up with...Then you guys give us some of yours :)


Sesame Street:

Big Bird: Jock
Elmo: Crackhead...Speed Freak
Cookie Monster: The Fat Guy
Bert and Ernie: Gay couple
Oscar: Metalhead
Grover: Nerd/Geek
The Count: Goth
Snuffy: Emo...or...STONER (think about it, his eyes were always half-closed, and the way he walked and talked ;))


Muppets:

Kermit: Popular Nerd
Miss Piggy: Slut/Preppy
Gonzo: Freak
Animal: Metalhead/Stoner
Fozzy: Funny Guy/Dweeb


Winnie The Pooh:

Pooh: The Fat Guy
Tigger: Crackhead/Speed Freak
Owl: Nerd
Rabbit: OCD Geek
Eyeore: Emo/Stoner
Piglet: Effeminate/Gay
Christopher Robin: Prep



Opinions?...Got anymore?

eyore would be a good fgoth, he is chronically depressed so he could be one of the "everything sucks. Entropy rules" types.

Miss piggy always struck me as the fat slut type. You know, acts like she has these lofty standards, no one is good enough, but deep down you know she has 0 self esteem and would suck off a 90 year old if he told her she was pretty, or at least paid attention to her rack.

You know kermit didnt want her and she was banging gonzo on the side because he told her he loved her.

Of course, you have to watch out for gonzo. when Piggy wont pay attention to him, he chases the chickens... Some day, piggy will do a love scene, and gonzo will show up, pissed as her front dorr with a .357

Dude...You KNOW that if Eyeore was your kid, you'd be asking him, "Son...Have you been smoking pot?"...

Eyeore: "Dude, Where's my tail?" :D
