International Oscar the Grouch
From Muppet Wiki
The names and voices of Oscar the Grouch around the world. Like Big Bird, Oscar's appearances in co-productions has been limited; most shows have their own grouch equivalent, and Oscar only occasionally surfaced in dubbed sketches. One of the more notable exceptions is the German series Sesamstrasse, which was a straight dub of the US scenes for the first four years, and has thus continued to use Oscar sketches on a semi-regular basis through the present day.
