'Sesame Street' Asked Fans About Which Character They'd Rather Be Stranded With On A Desert Island, And Things Got Intense

Sesame Street is a wholesome program, and they most likely didn't intend to ignite an internet firestorm when they tweeted out a fun, quirky question for their followers to enjoy. Sadly, the internet can be a bit of a rough place and what began as a lighthearted argument quickly became a heated debate.


Sesame Street's question: who would you rather be stuck on a deserted island with—Oscar the Grouch, Grover, Elmo, or Cookie Monster?

Though the numbers were few, those who'd like to get stranded with Elmo were particularly vocal.



Others thought Oscar was, strangely, the most relatable of the characters and, thus, would be the easiest to get along with long-term.



I mean, once you get over Cookie Monster's insatiable need for cookies, he's a pretty chill guy.

The winner of the informal "poll," however, was clearly Grover.


With Super Grover on your side, you'll be off that deserted island in no time!



The strange blue monster was beloved by all.



Grover even took a hot second to gloat on Twitter.

A few Twitter users tried to slip in some unsanctioned options...


But when it all comes down to it, however, any Sesame Street character would be pretty cool to hang out with on a desert island. On that, we can all agree.
