[seismansays]

Full verison please

[seismansays]

Start all over uh oh

[nellie2581]

The Odd Couple!

[wileyk209zback]

I think they cut the ending for the same reasons Don Music rises controversy: they must've been worried kids would imitate Bert's head-banging on the table!

[SkyeSparkleShine]

TOO FUNNY!!! My mom used to call my sister and myself Bert and Ernie. Even though I was younger, I was taller like Bert but I acted like Ernie LOL!! My sister acts like Bert though. So strange but funny lol.

[WWEChampion16]

When I paused at 1:59 it looks like Bert is holding his nose because Ernie passed gas.

[MrTornado300]

Like how bert gets all whipped up after "NINE!!!!" Busted out laughing!! AT LAST!!!!

[Justinawe12]

This is one of the funniest Bert and Ernie skits.

[See918]

Hey Bert, ain'tcha got FEET??? You don't have to stay there and listen to Ernie repeat counting? Go play with your paper clips or something.

[PandaMishima]

@See918

Nonsense, the Cartoon Laws state that Bert HAS to stick around once Ernie starts whatever ridiculous thing he's doing. Walking away is cheating! plus Ernie'd probably follow him anyway.

[Vatch1966]

LMAO Ernie could be such an asshole

[Joker2One]

*Bert Sneezes* God Bless you.

Too sweet..

[evantrude]

2:39 all the way to 3:03 bert needs the straight jacket LOL

[AliceOtherworld]

Ernie's shirt is classic-cool.

There used to be a version of this skit on YouTube with Billy Idol's White Wedding in the background. It was my favorite skit until it got pulled. Oddly enough, the song matches perfectly - though not lyrically, of course.

[AliceOtherworld]

My favorite classic E&B skit. I've got it memorized. Didn't take too long, actually. XD.

[usaisadump]

Not quite as funny as "What Happened Here?" but close. Look it up. Cheers to all E&B fans!

[andy42x]

Ernie's emphasis on the number 3 is awesome. Not sure why I like it so much.

one... two... THREE!!!!

[kungfujiapple]

Good for you, applejax2006.

[applejax2006]

i added the extra rare 10 sec in my version but it's in norwegian.see video response link.poor bert,lmao........

[wiley207]

I heard they cut the ending because they didn't want kids to imitate Bert's head-banging

[setheurovision94]

These corporate tv people evidently understand little about how a child's mind works.

[Katzi]

Yeah...I remember that too,

[9fishy9]

XD

Bert went totally haywire at the end!

[gringging]

Whatevyagottalose??? Only your sanity, Bert, only your sanity.....LOL

[PinballStewie]

HAHAHA!! Bert: Well, I'm just glad you're through! Ernie: But Bert I'm not finished yet, now I'm going to recite the alphabet. A.....B.....C.....D.... Bert: OHHHH I CAN'T STAAANNDD IIIITTT!!!! Good stuff!

[PandaMishima]

And then, AAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH! (Bert bashing his head against the table, then) AAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHH! (Bert runs off camera a moment, and then) AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGG!!!!!! (straight into the camera).

[trppey66]

Last night, I was watching Trading Places on HBO. That scene where Frank Oz, playing the part of the police sargent and questioning Dan Akryod...I could so picture Bert being the one sitting there saying...That's PCP - phencyclidine. Angel dust. You ever seen

what this stuff does to kids?"

Oz did that scene with the perfect Bert voice.

[toadettelover4ever]

ernie is SO cute ^_^

[bobbo428]

This was one of my favorite segments of Sesame Street--I had not seen it since about 1974.

[michaelmoval]

My mom named these two friendly bumblebees after those Bert and Ernie characters.

[andy42x]

Jim Henson = genius. thanks for posting.

[SenhorBundy]

obviously SOMEONE had to be the counter of numbers before the count came along lol

[AnimalCrossingRox]

bernie has a cone head lol

[setheurovision94]

A priceless sketch. Bert's mounting frustration is hilarious, but they really should NOT have cut out the height of it, when he snaps and bangs his head on the table, shouting "I can't stand it!" and running at the camera.

[PandaMishima]

Amen! That is the best part, and what the whole skit is leading up to! that it's routinely snipped off is a crime!

[Emily1468]

that is so funny at the end when bert screams at the end! good clip ^_^

[PandaMishima]

Still needs the last few seconds to be perfect--where Bert pounds his head against the table, then runs off screaming into the camera. "AAAAUUUURRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!" WHY did they have to leave out the best part?

[setheurovision94]

I know! They do that with so many of these clips; it's like taking the punchline from a joke!

[33chiliken]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!! I miss that part also. I hope someone can post the whole thing.

[ISNorden]

Weird thing is, I just watched the same clip in Norwegian and followed every word of it! *hums a few bars of the Twilight Zone theme*

[teenangel93]

My favortie Ernie and Bert skecth form the 1st season.

[InuyashaPrincess14]

"and now I will recite the alpahbet."

haha. Poor Bert. That was so funny. I love Ernie and Bert. Thanks for uploading.
