Harvey Kneeslapper appeared on Sesame Street as a mad practical joker, always pulling pranks on others. Usually, his pranks involved either letters or numbers, which he would slap onto his victims (whom were usually made from Fat Blue Anything Muppets). In most of his skits, he played his prank well on his victims but, on rare occasions, Harvey's pranks backfired on him, such as the time he filled up an entire closet and waited for somebody to open the door. Harvey's pranks mostly have backfired on him whenever he explains his prank to the audience.

He once appeared in a Sesame Street News Flash sketch, where he made a prank call about somebody standing out in a snowstorm.

Eventually, his raucous laugh became too hard on Frank Oz's throat, and Harvey, who was always considered a one-joke character, was dropped from the show. Even after Harvey stopped appearing in new segments, his existing segments continued to be used in new episodes up until Season 32.

Harvey later made a comeback appearance in a 2010 episode, where he slaps a "7" on a seal's beach ball.
