In the
Wee Sing video "Grandpa's Magical Toys", while the children and toys are taking a brief break, they discover the cookies missing from the cookie jar and launch into the song, only for the cookie jar to point out at the end of the song that nobody took the cookies because they all ate them the day before. The song is played thirteen times in the original live action version of
Barney & Friends in the episodes "Caring Means Sharing", "Grandparents Are Grand!", and "Any Way You Slice It". In each episode, Barney leads the kids to a cookie jar, only to discover that all the cookies are gone, to which they launch into the song, each time with Kathy being the first one accused and Barney being the last one accused. Unlike the traditional version of the song, the first friend accused doesn't call out the name of the next friend; instead, Barney and the kids put their hands on their knees and give accusing looks to the music before singing the next suspect. After Barney has gone and the music between the verses plays again, the kids then repeat "Then who?" twice, followed by "It's you!" upon hearing or seeing the real culprit (with the exception of "Any Way You Slice It" in which they repeated "Then who?" a third time because the culprit wasn't revealed until right after the song ended). In "Caring Means Sharing", Baby Bop ate all the cookies and got a tummy-ache from it. In "Grandparents Are Grand!", Kathy's Nana took the cookies from the jar while Barney, the kids, and Derek's Grandpa were listening to a radio play and put them into bags for them to take home. In "Any Way You Slice It", Juan admitted to eating the cookies when he was hungry because he thought his brother Carlos didn't want them and apologized for it, but promised to ask first in future. The song was used in a
Sesame Street YouTube video in 2018. The title of the song was later referenced during the 2018
Sesame Street special
When You Wish Upon A Pickle: at the beginning, Nina is finishing a Natalie Neptune story for Cookie Monster, Abby Cadaby, and the kids by explaining how Natalie used her detective methods to solve the mystery of who took the cookies from the cookie jar, at which Cookie asked who would ever do such a thing, besides him. ==See also==
