Come now, Dustin<\/a>, don’t you know that the best video EVAR about eating your vegetables is Captain Vegetable from Sesame Street:<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

And, if that’s not awesome enough for you, check out the Dutch version:<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

(Yes, they look the same. Different languages, though)<\/p>\n

Little known fact, everything because infinitely more awesome and funnier when translated into Dutch. I had no idea until I watched that video. Three cheers for\u00a0Grote Groenteheld!<\/p>\n

All that Veggie Boogie ever did was give kids brocolli nightmares. Captain Vegetable worked tirelessly to undo all of the damage done by his nemesis and fellow Sesame Street cast member, Cookie Monster. It might have taken him ten years, but he finally took that blue binge eater out.<\/p>\n

(A Cookie is a sometimes treat? Really? Way to mess with an american icon, Children’s Television Workshop. Next thing you know, they’re going to put Oscar the grouch in a homeless shelter for living in a garbage can and get Big Bird on anti-psyche medication for seeing invisible Snuffalupagii).<\/p>\n

If you want to watch something truly bizarre and a little sad, check out John Lequizamo as Captain Vegetable<\/a>. You can tell by the look on his face and his nervous laughter that he knows just how ridiculous he looks).<\/p>\n
