He was used for various inserts in the first season of Sesame Street. In one sketch, he watched a giant letter A with Cookie Monster, Fred's son, Beautiful Day Monster, an early Grover, and Scudge. He also briefly appeared in one of the Numerosity inserts with the early Grover, Beautiful Day Monster, Snork, and Thudge. The Flute-Snatcher later appeared briefly in the 1970 special The Great Santa Claus Switch (as one of the background henchmen) and in 1984's The Muppets Take Manhattan as one of the wedding guests, sitting at the end of the fourth row on the bride's side.

- The Flute-Snatcher is a brown Muppet monster with a sharp nose and windblown hair. He appeared in a General Foods commercial in 1966 for three snack foods-- "Wheels, Crowns, & Flutes". He along with the Crown-Grabber and the Wheel-Stealer had insatiable appetites for the snack foods they were named after. Each time the Muppet narrator, a human-looking fellow, fixes himself a tray of Wheels, Flutes and Crowns, they disappear before he can eat them. One by one, the monsters sneak in and zoom away with the snacks. Frustrated and peckish, the narrator warns viewers that these pesky monsters could be disguised as someone in your own home, at which point the monsters briefly turn into people and then dissolve back to monsters again.
