[Charla1606]

[2011mrkingofkings]

Today it's the 75th birthday of Jim Henson (Ernie)

[Smartboy8877]

[BigEasyWinger]

Inside the apartment, why not?!?!?!?

[cstoczyn]

@BigEasyWinger IDK

[MrTornado300]

Are your shoes clean? XD

[Smartboy8877]

@MrTornado300

That sounds like a pretty sensible question to me!

[binturong1000]

I kinna like the music myself.

[Smartboy8877]

@binturong1000

I like it too!

[gndn47]

Why doesn't Bert just close the windows?

[WWEChampion16]

Why doesn't Bert just close the windows?

[MrTornado300]

[654zns]

Why doesn't Bert just close the window?

[stevenrf69]

poor bert

[negutzcht]

HEY LOOK... it's Sully with the double-bass! (*keewwwwwwwwllll...!*)

[Smartboy8877]

Bert is a lot more understanding in this skit than he is in a lot of others.

[conductorcarson]

bert could've just closed the window.



[MarioZone69]

"In Philadelphia, 3 pigeons landed on a general statue in the park. When questioned about this action they replied 'I don't know, we just felt like it'"

[MIKECNW]

@MarioZone69 3 pigeons cocked on a general statue in the park.

When questioned about it they replied "We just felt like it."

[zangazoo2007]

I LOVE THIS ONE! I loved to dance to the music!

[PRINCESSROCKYT]

Bert: He said THAT?

Radio Guy: Twice.

LMAO

[Shaddypink12]

I love how Bert joins in on finishing Ernie's sentence "...INSIDE the apartment!" It shows that he's getting the hang of Ernie's train of thought :P

[Smartboy8877]

I think that this was a great for a slapstick!

[Dunn1inc]

apparantly this episode aired around 1977. i was born in 1974 & I have had this tune stuck in my head for what...30 years. this is awesome, nostalgic. i'm to the point of tears. thank you so much for putting this up. wasn't childhood really a much simpler time? man, wow. i've watched this 13 times already. this is so GREAT!

[ErnieandBert1]

Q: Why doesn't Bert close the window?

A: So we can hear Ernie's jammin' tunes.

[ErnieandBert1]

0:12-0:14 - Sounds like the bginning of the morse-code "News Flash" theme.

[darkmarkrammstein]

i want more pidgeon news

[redfox409]

Bert didn't get mad here. Good music Ernie can I have the CD?

[redfox409]

What is the name of the song here they are playing?

[redfox409]

Who is that on the raido?

[ErnieandBert1]

Jerry Nelson.

[HouCuseChickie95]

The music from this skit is burned in my brain. I haven't seen this in ages. Love it!

[RabbitDance]

Ernie's band should be called The Whatnots!

[KuruVitt]

Ernie is so talented, I'm diggin his music xD

[drleomarvin]

Does anyone know if the music is 'dixieland standard stuff', or is it an original piece? Regardless, I really like it!

[abbeyroad56]

The music is Both funny and good

[redfox409]

Love the music.

[redfox409]

Close the window.

[NadrianATRS]

watch the carpet lol

[levisk1212]

Yay Ernie ftw! :)

[brianklick]

ernie is the best at finding loop-holes

[cstoczyn]

@brianklick GO ERNIE!!!!

[gomiwomi]

''Who are these people?''....Sully and Fat blue.

[ErnieandBert1]

...and Farley.

[sikkometal]

Omg! My favourite Ernie & Bert episode!!!

[kobraf150]

I didn't get this as a kid but a hidden joke...the Sesame Street Citizens Band as in CB which is interfering with the radio program lol. Anyone else get that?

[AnthonyP73]

Bert: He said that??

Radio guy: Twice!

Sesame Street humour is the best.

[classicssmfan]

That's right!  And so is humor from The Muppet Show.

But then how could he hear the radio?

[giantpanda371]

Close the window!!

[zuluMusic2]

The window does not move, it's stuck.

[Rltpage]

The music that Ernie's band is playing is Dixieland jazz. It's very popular in New Orleans.

[muppetfan33]

It sounds like ragtime to me.

[PGMEagle]

I remember this one lol

[C16H12FN3O3]

"Ernie, who are these people?"

Bert needs to get headphones...

[StarWarsMedia]

Berts` obsessed with pidgens.

First its THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF PIDGENS on TV and now this.

[qflatmajor]

avenue Q anybody? lol

[shydmples]

In Philadelphia, three pigeons landed on a general statue in the park. When questioned about this action, they replied, "I don't know, we just felt like it." lol

[thelouisfanclub]

Ernie who are these people..

[StoogeAtHeart]

This skit must have come before or after one about the number 6 because ever since I first saw this as a little squirt, most of the band music somehow reminded me of the number 6.

Great clip!

[veevs]

I thought Bert liked marching bands, lol.

This ending is similar to "cookies in bed."

[kobraf150]

I'm sure he does, but just not while he's trying to concentrate. LOL or inside his apartment.

[RooseveltFranklinFan]

One of my all-time favorite Ernie and Bert clips! Thank you for putting it up!!!

[setheurovision94]

I'm surprised Bert did not see that coming, having known Ernie for that long.

[junglesong]

Love Bert's face at the end.

[LanaHensley]

I am officially "old". I used to have the same clock radio Bert is listening to.

[8888ADRIAN8888]

I LOVE THIS SKETCH!!!

[SenhorBundy]

Bert is Squidward's ancestor...

[Noraa9700]

LOL! how the heck do u figure that?

[SenhorBundy]

Bit late of a reply, but I think their voices and personalites are very similar.

Not to mention they (Bert/Squidward)both have someone close to them who annoys the hell out of them, and the annoyer (Ernie/Spongebob) is unaware that they are annoying the annoyee.

[dungeonofdarkness]

@SenhorBundy

i'm having trouble to read out your sentence "the annoyer is unaware that they are annoying the annoyee" fluently lol

[badlittlemolly]

Ernie is the perpetual three year old...he wants to do the right thing but he will NOT go to sleep and he takes things too literally. Love ya, Ernie!!

[uofmrules1]

Hey Bert, CLOSE THE WINDOW! And hey, nice choice of radio programming.  Better then Fox News at least.

[bucachon]

anybody know what the song is?

[muppetfan33]

I'm thinking it's the song that goes

"Do you hear the beat

Away down the street"

[vanni9283]

"Please do not play outside the apartment."

GREAT ADVICE BERT! lol!!!!

[LincolnHeightsrocks]

Pretty cool. Probably the only time Sully was seen onscreen with Ernie and Bert.

[glowworm2]

Yay! You are back! I love this skit-Ernie's band rocks!

[neocelestia]

Thank you! You brought one of my favorite clips back! Gotta love Ernie and Bert
