Answer: Cookie

Hammmy said "But I like the cookie" even after RJ (Bruce Willis) told him that cookies were junk. He repeated this a total of three times within one minute. This must mean he liked cookies. While Hammy did collect nuts, he never said he liked them. Hammy had tried dirt and he didn't like it as it "tasted like dirt". While "Spam" was mentioned in "Over the Hedge", no one really admitted to liking it.

In "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" (2004), starring Will Ferrell, Steve played a news anchor who was slow witted. He was Brick Tamland, the weatherman.

"Over the Hedge" (2006) was a computer animated movie where Steve's character played a hyperactive squirrel named Hammy. "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" (2005) was a great movie to showcase Steve's talent.
