COOKIE BEAR

Domain	Definition
Computing	Cookie bear n. obs. Original term, pre-Sesame-Street, for what is now universally called a cookie monster. A correspondent observes "In those days, hackers were actually getting their yucks from...sit down now...Andy Williams. Yes, _that_ Andy Williams. Seems he had a rather hip (by the standards of the day) TV variety show. One of the best parts of the show was the recurring `cookie bear' sketch. In these sketches, a guy in a bear suit tried all sorts of tricks to get a cookie out of Williams. The sketches would always end with Williams shrieking (and I don't mean figuratively), `No cookies! Not now, not ever...NEVER!!!' And the bear would fall down. Great stuff.". Source: Jargon File.

From the Jargon File 2.4.2 (used by permission):

Original term, pre-Sesame Street, for what is now universally called a cookie monster.

Apparently the term comes from The Andy Williams Show's "Williams' Wierdos" sketches which had a character called "Cookie Bear". In these sketches, a man in a bear suit tried all sorts of tricks to get a cookie out of Williams. The sketches would always end with Williams shrieking, "No cookies! Not now, not ever...NEVER!!!", and the bear sadly wandering offstage.
