And also:

When mild-mannered doorknob salesman Grover Kent hears the faint cry for help, he becomes Super Grover, a cute & furry hero who’s smarter than a speeding bullet. He may not actually save the day all the time, & by all the time I mean ever, but his mere presence has helped children all around the big city solve their own problems, all by themselves.

My favorite Super Grover moment is when he answers a cry for help from a girl who can’t get her computer working. His solution is the first of a Grover classic… jumping up & down & going WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA ctrl+v ctrl+v WUBBA ctrl+v WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA ctrl+v ctrl+v ctrl+v WUBBA

The girl eventually figures out that she needs to turn the computer on first if she wants to do anything. While any other tech support guy would reach their hand through the phone & strangle her until he can feel her last breath, Super Grover is happy to have saved the day… until he has trouble lifting off into flight. Is he stepping on his cape? No, that’s not it. Oh well, it’s worth another shot… WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA ctrl+v ctrl+v ctrl+v WUBBA WUBBA WUBBA ctrl+v ctrl+v WUBBA WUBBA ctrl+v WU
