Mr. Meanie is the main antagonist in the 1985 Sesame Street Live show Save Our Street.
As his name suggests, Mr. Meanie is "the meanest man in the world" - as he has no problem telling everyone. He plans to tear down Sesame Street while everyone is away at a talent contest and a county fair, hoping to replace the famous locale with a parking lot. With his henchmen the Meanie Birds, Mr. Meanie even attempts to convince Oscar the Grouch to join his nefarious scheme by promising him a big heap of trash. Ultimately his plans are foiled when the citizens of Sesame Street return and vote (along with the audience) not to tear down their home.
