Cookie Puss - in Media

In Media

Cookie Puss was a frequent topic used for comic effect on The Howard Stern Show. Typically, the cast of the show would torment Fred Norris for having purchased Cookie Puss as a gift for his mother on Mother's Day. Howard Stern would use voice enhancements to impersonate the voice of Cookie Puss from the Carvel commercials, often excusing his inappropriate comments because he could "speak his mind, now that Tom Carvel is dead." These bits are still heard in Sirius Radio replays to this day.

Cookie Puss was the focus of the Beastie Boys song "Cooky Puss".

Cookie Puss was also referenced by Kenneth The Page in 30 Rock's "Reaganing" (Season 5, Episode 5), in which Jenna, Kenneth and Kelsey Grammar conspire to pull a long con on a Carvel store.

In the Family Guy episode, Da Boom, Carvel is referenced. Because Y2K has occurred, the family goes in search of a Carvel factory and Chris exclaims his excitement by listing the names of Carvel characters, Cookie Puss being among them.

In the FX series Archer, title character Sterling Archer refers to Cookie Puss and Fudgie the Whale in "Drift Problem" (Season 3, Episode 4). Additionally, in "Heart of Archer: Part 1" (Season 3, Episode 1) Ray Gillette moans "Cookie Puss" after he is informed there will be no Carvel.

Famous quotes containing the word media:

    “Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
