    Cookie Monster bizarrely caught speeding on traffic cam — but cops were not amused

    It seems eating isn’t the only thing Cookie Monster does too quickly.

    A police camera captured the bizarre moment a motorist sped through an intersection in Germany — while dressed as the blue, biscuit-loving children’s character.

    “The fun of wearing a mask from ‘The Muppet Show’ can quickly turn serious,” police spokesman Peter Bandermann told Newsflash while describing the incident.

    The pic, snapped in the western city of Dortmund, Westphalia, on Sept. 20, shows the googly-eyed character driving an Audi at 60 miles per hour — which was 10 m.p.h faster than the posted speed limit.

    The combo of the speed and the ridiculous costume led police to believe that the Cookie Monster cosplayer — whose identity wasn’t yet uncovered — deliberately got themselves caught on camera for a brazen gag.

    However, they feel the stunt is no laughing matter.

    “It won’t help the relatives of a person who has been killed if the person who did it tearfully regrets their mask fun in court,” said Bandermann.

    If authorities do track down the shaggy-suited troll, they will be slapped with a $50 fine.

    This isn’t the first time Cookie Monster has engaged in questionable behavior.

    In 2023, authorities instructed residents of Santa Cruz, California, to avoid interacting with a man gussied up as the crumby character after he was observed yelling obscenities and taunting locals strolling along the coastal city’s boardwalk.

    The cretin reportedly even harassed parents about paying him to pose with their children.

    “We are getting calls from people who say he is ‘creepy,’” police spokeswoman Joyce Blaschke said in a statement to The Post. “Based on his history, we advise the public to not engage with this individual. Steer clear from him.”
