Sesame Street: Ernie And Bert Meet The Martians

[joshsalvi]

I just keep picturing Kermit and Fozzie whenever listening to Ernie and Bert.

And I love it.

[ac75088]

At 1:36 Ernie says pussy lol

[TheMightyGORT]

yepyepyepahhhhaaahahaaaa

[silentbob82]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say the word 'Bert' so much in such a short space of time!

[SkeptixLogik]

Ernie just wakes up and is alright stoned.

[seismansays]

Where"s bert is he gonne

[kokoko8090]

I miss when bert and ernie were pupets not cumputer clay

[GiantCrock]

I always found Sesame Street scary :O

[candiduscorvus]

I love how in the world of Sesame Street close encounters of the third kind involve sharing your oatmeal.

[jibber27jabber]

I want what he's on

[cheesepuffpie]

-Bert! The martians are here!

-Ask them if they want any oatmeal.

Bahahahahahaha

[XDceleratepwnage]

0:59 Oatmeal? Are you crazy?

[celelorien]

@XDceleratepwnage XD Pinkie Pie, you are *so* random! (Man! I wasn't even watching pony vids and I STILL run into fellow bronies!)

[XDceleratepwnage]

@celelorien What can I say? we are everywhere!

[XFiles1993]

@eternalhalloween1 I am a writer (well, more in theory than practice) but I totally understand what you are saying. :)

[MagiMysteryTour]

"That's the way, yip yip yip yip, I like it it, uh huh uh huh"

- KC and the Martian Band

[AwesomeSwordTV]

yupyupyupyupyup

[JGCooney]

I wonder if Bert had enough oatmeal?

[Smartboy8877]

@JGCooney

I hope so! I remember it being stated on "Three's Company" that "a good chef always make more than enough"!

[houseofgogo]

how can they creep you out? they make me burst out laughing, even as a kid. i know fear is irrational in nature, i hope you're still not traumatized by them and can share them with your kids.

[eternalhalloween1]

This is a cute story in that it probably reflects Jim Henson's deep imagination coming to life in his works. Things often sound too strange in words, but once written down take on a whole life of their own.

[Mikazuchireborn]

Hello nightmares for the next week.

[ryanisthecrazyone]

octopussy haha

[Love4Lovett]

I swear to god I'm starting a petition to get those creepy yipping fuckers off the show.

I have yipphobia. legit.

[reactivespam69]

1:37-1:38

[Janamovie]

exactly



[SatanAbduleJabbar]

lol.  srange octo-pussy-like leggs bellow there mouths, Bert.

[babikat86]

I love ernie he is such a drama queen

[peace1996ny]

[sayatarmizi]

[sayatarmizi]

Bert Bert Bert Bert Bert Bert Bert Bert Bert Bert Bert Bert Bert ......

[MichaelBrookham]

Is this the first appearance of the Martian creatures?

[DarkQuantumK1ng]

TF2 Meet The Martians

[psychoszekely]

...ask them if they want any oatmeal. LOL!

[ROCAMONI]

Ernie said bert 36 times

[tybo09]

For some reason, I can't help but think of Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters...

[serviceman613]

Now we Know what to do If Martians invade lol

[xXMiniMonsterXx]

To me as a german the english pronouncation of the name "Bert" sounds extremely funny ;D

[xiTzblazinx]

Lmao the martians mouths freak me out lol.

[dewfall56]

One of my favorite Bert and Ernies. I always waited to hear Bert scream when he noticed the martians coming for their oatmeal, but he never did.

[G66daisukiD66]

@DaquanLjohnson I also thought that Bert and squidward were similar.

[DaQuanLJohnson]

i swear bert is squidwards cousin or something

[MetalSmorkes2000bsgp]

バナナマーン？

[tehgr8tstwarmonger]

Bert looks like robert deniro in taxi driver. Now that it's conventional wisdom sesame will eliminate bert, to keep things age appropriate and infantile.

[Lawlipop1211]

ernie said bert 36 time XD

[mssasquatchwatcher]

heehee-ernie and bert took Salvia

[eyesack9]

Ernie said Pussy on a children's show and got away with it.

[MrTornado300]

I bet Ernie was drinking last night!

[bellalovesjack1]

if i had a dollar for every time ernie said 'Bert' :D i remeber watching them when i was little :) yip yip i do remeber yip yip

[silentbob82]

Ernie sure does say 'Bert' a lot! :D

[Amber1002]

he is like WTF

[punkgirl979]

yup yup yup uhuh uhuh

[HeadNtheClouds]

Yes, if you want to grab someones attention, repeat their name as you speak, & they will listen to everything you have to say. It's true!

[ouackstrax]

"ohh Ernie! You so clingy!"

It's clear Bert wants a mupp with confidence, and that weekend on mars two months ago is coming back to haunt him now. Yeah... Thank god this didn't come out in this decade. It would be the Looney Tunes "reboot" all over again. Yip out.

[Keijz74]

Bert! Bert! Bert! Ernie. * Gasp! *

LOL

[musicmonster2k8]

no mater how old you are... you got to love this

[Ericaactressqueen]

@musicmonster2k8, I am 13 years old and I love Sesame Street.

[Galentw]

Ernie: Burt! The martians are here. What do we do?

Burt: GET MY RIFLE!

[BeavisNacho]

sounded like he said "Ernie let's have some more beer."

not oatmeal... lol

[psychicwhoosh]

Nearly 40 years later and these are still great.

I'm a middle aged man who can look back on stuff he watched as a kid and say, "Boy that sucked."

But Sesame Street didn't. It's still very funny and smart in a very sincere way.

[Siomonte]

@psychicwhoosh

yes. I just came to watch it sometimes and ask me now why I didn't watch it more often :P

Its just so great in its own way

[Smartboy8877]

@psychicwhoosh

Very well put my friend!

[KMallinson]

Bert fixed him breakfast, and Ernie complained that it wasn't aliens! Oh Ernie, work on your manners.

[Mkamalid]

@cnlaw I heard it looked straight at the comments and there it is someone already wrote it :D

[tpirman1982]

I bet the Martians came for breakfast

[KodyaxZavaj]

LOL! The half of this partnership that is so skeptical is in for a rude awakening!

[thapoint09]

Octopussy?

[BigEasyWinger]

I had oatmeal for breakfast this morning!!! And I wish the Yip Yips could have been able to hang out with me to eat some too!

[shadowlita]

Octopussy. LMAO!  R.I.P. Jim.

[eineschildmaidrohans]

Bert, Bert, Bert ...

[sampson152]

Time to put Ernie back on his meds, hes lost it again.

[musa2music]

i like the yep yep ailens alot i think there cute thumbs up if you think so too

[TheLostLenore]

I always loved those aliens, was one of my fave parts of the show. XD

[garrhook]

Aren't Bert and Ernie kind of based on "The Odd Couple" TV show ? which was a 1960s TV show about 2 very different men, who were both divorced and had to share an apartment to save money. One of those guys seemed extremely gay, and the other one was extremely straight.

[garrhook]

OMG this is hysterical !!!

[Beetham]

Smart. They trans-located.

[soobwhale]

I love how Ernie immediately volunteers that he thinks his friend has possibly been abducted by aliens.

[fightdelaw47]

oatmeal bert?? really that bert was needed??

[zooperazip23]

Aliens like oatmeal! What an interesting fact! xD

[BreannaRochellexoxox]

heh how can anybody hate these guys they are frickin awsome i want a martian like that =)

[ZuperZeb42]

And then they anal probed them.

[Th3ba1r0n]

@ZuperZeb42 oh ha ha :D

[Cortlah]

@ZuperZeb42 And they liked it.

[PaKtiV1]

lol hes said pussy... 1:37

[StephensStuff]

Now we know thier weakness

[AliCakesInCandyLand]

You know what's happening, they're in japan,

[MrKitty1995]

The martian with the yellow eyes must of been stoned out of his mind.

[Smartboy8877]

@MrKitty1995

I wonder what type of weed they have on Mars!

[Liuhuayue]

The martians are surprisingly cute.

[RaptorJesuswillrise]

Heh he said octupussy at 1:38 

[Route625]

I used to watch this with my children. Now I watch it with my grandchildren. Makes me feel a bit old, but I still love those little martians.

[Smartboy8877]

@Route625

I agree that those martians are very amusing!  I am sure that your grandchildren have a lot of fun with them!

[Kezial1231]

Aliens are so epic. yep yep yep yep

[nappa666]

those aliens used to creep me right out

[BigEasyWinger]

I don't think Bert would've heard Ernie talking that quietly if he was in outer space. :P

[Aefl2]

Can't believe I find them funny and I'm 17...

[ralphyetmore]

The only thing that doesn't make sense is this:

Does thier front room look exactly the same as thier bedroom, or do they wheel thier beds in from some other part of the room?

[Keijz74]

I like Ernie's Gangsta pyjamas LOL

[Keijz74]

"Lots of Berts"

"Ernie!" "Gasp! Bert!"

LOL

[jogirich]

two guys sleeping in one room...and that is good for kids?^^

just kidding

loved this show when i was younger

[AsterXxstudio]

mum: ''ask them if they want oatmeal''

dad: ''oatmeal''

me and bro: ''oatmeal.yip yip yip''

good times.good times

[JaguarCats]

I suddenly picture screaming from Bert about five seconds later

[Love4Lovett]

the only thing i heard was Bert bert bert bert bert bert bert bert.

[AngelicDark99]

first time i see those Martians come in gansta

yep yep yep yep yep yep yep . aw huh. aw huh.

[Ryfinius]

It always scared me as a kid when the aliens teleported inside. It still is kinda creepy.

[StAraqiel]

@Ryfinius Yeah, same here. I mean, at that age, who wouldn't be, especially given the rather intrusive way the Martians showed up? Strange creatures appearing right outside your window is definitely cause for alarm.

[Stimulator7]

heh heh "he said Octapussy" (butthead voice)

[lcramer6]

Ernie's psychic :)

[Kicorsonek]

ahahahhaaahah

[MrBorowiecki]

jeb jeb jeb jeb jeb buhahahahahaaa

[angeltroea]

take a shot every time you hear "bert"

[ghosthunternumerouno]

I remember those things scared the everliving sh*t out of me as a kid,,,now I think theyre awesome. ^^

[arieljacobsegal]

@ghosthunternumerouno I have exactly the same reaction & history.

[christytina81]

It would have been awesome if we'd hear Bert scream at the end, heh heh.

[Keijz74]

@christytina81 Oh yes you bet!

[emithunderfan1]

ESE LO HE VISTO EN ESPAÑOL, DEBERIAN DE SUBIR EN ESPAÑOL

[Muppephile]

This is so nice. America, for many years has been known for alien encounters. Is it possible that this sketch was sesame street's witty response, or perhaps telling kids that things arent always so bad.

[hittheball17]

Ernie says "Bert" after every sentence haha :D

[BatmanSucksMyBanana]

2:15 i would of had a heart attack if i saw that early in the morning

[MrMartinhurt]

Man I just realized Ernie talks like a native american

[CookiePuss21]

Alien anal probe for Ernie.  The scene Bert will walk back in on will scar him for life.

[element1108]

I LOVE her Ernie says BERT all the time lol......I never noticed that as a kid.

[liquidfxx]

lmao - when burt looks at the camra in disbelief ! :))

[mulletman175]

On average, Ernie says "Bert" every 4.3 seconds. I think I'd kill anyone who had to say my name that much.

[heraldkiara]

@mulletman175 : Bert hides in the kitchen making oatmeal until Ernie takes his ADHD meds!

[pilocho11]

oh boy  this is the shittttttttttttttttt

[ahaskvitz]

Just for you, Chrissy.

[genchandy]

If Steve Whitmire played Ernie first, then Jim Henson, it would sound like Ernie is growing up!

[CestLimee]

Aaaww! I remember this:D

[unicorn4031]

Bert starts screaming in 3..2..1...

[cimoirine]

oh, I MISS those guys! (sniff)

[STARLIGHT5000]

holy shit i rememeber first watching this as a kid

[wickedfeylady]

They are stoked for that oatmeal.

[FilmmakeroftheFuture]

Bert had better make those extra table settings because they have guests! From outer space!:-)

[krazyface333]

so whats the deal....is bert and earnie like.....fruity with eachother? haha i can just imagine earnie and bert having gay puppet sex and bert getting to angery and earny goes bert your shouting again bert...........disregard all that im sorry for my innapropriatness lord i appologize

[Fnord23Gnosis]

I feel so sorry for Bert... He looks mentally disturbed after being around Ernie sooo much...

[ScruffThaOG]

ernie: "bert! bert! the matians are here bert! what do we do bert!?"

bert: "ask if they want any oatmeal"

ernie: "oatmeal?!"

martians: "oatmeal. yep yep yep"

lol that is AWESOME! man i love these guys!

[erikL95]

This is like crack yo!

[0000infinity0000]

How many times did he say "bert"?

[MrTornado300]

@0000infinity0000 43

[TheOneBlackSheep1973]

@MrTornado300 43? you must be mad its 37 guaranteed

[TheOneBlackSheep1973]

@0000infinity0000 MrTornado is wrong its 37

[MrTornado300]

@TheOneBlackSheep1973 Sorry, but someone said it was 43, but it is really 37.

[muppetlover16]

@MrTornado300 If it were on Avenue Q it would be Rod, Nicky, and The Bad Idea Bears (in aluminum foil and tin costumes with antennae)

[boxingisbest]

thanks sesame street for giving me tons of nightmares as a child. i still remember looking towards my window thinking that they where right outside of it and suddenly come trough the wall when i tried to get some sleep

[melonpotato]

yup yup yup bert yup yup rofllolllmao

[XmegaPresident]

LMAO! Ernie says "octapussie legs"

[MrWaddefak]

dutch version of sesame street is way better!

[Hemley1]

Don't talk about the martians!

[silentbob82]

I'd never realised how much Ernie says 'Bert' before!

[BigEasyWinger]

Also, Bert and Ernie need to get a security alarm installed for future events like these. :P

[BigEasyWinger]

Yip Yips and Oatmeal for the win. A great combination. I want to have oatmeal with the Yip Yips!

[rebrella]

The martians look so soft- I want one!

[Hemley1]

@rebrella They're not really soft, they just have smooth skin.

[Kelaiah01]

Those martians always creeped me out when I was kid. Still kinda do. XD

I love Bert's sarcastic reply to Ernie's cries of terror: "Ask if they want any oatmeal." lol

[Hemley1]

@Kelaiah01 They creeped me out too!

[Kelaiah01]

@Hemley1 XD Glad I'm not alone! :D

[NetDiverMotoko]

Ernie manages to say "Bert" a total of 37 times in 2 minutes and 4 seconds.

[yakkofan725]

@NetDiverMotoko 38 to be exact

[Hemley1]

Never talk about martians! The martians may come after you.

[funkmike]

I hope Ernie and Bert don't get any "oatmeal" stains on those flamboyant pajamas of theirs...yip yip yip yip yip yip!

[Aleena756]

Coll

[thesavmaster]

So what is this supposed to teach little kids? If the martians invade, see if they want some oatmeal?

I guess it's better than shooting them. Offer them hospitality instead.

[cambow13]

I wrote the screenplay for dis when i was high. I also do the voice of ernie

[Shipuh]

the voice of ernie is done by jim henson himself. just to inform you, k'bai.

[seany5828]

weyyy this was the days:) best of sesame street

[seany5828]

weyyy this was the days:) best of sesame street

[Numism4tiker]

38 times ernie says "bert"...

[GirEatsChewyMeatPies]

Ernie's pajamas are pimpin'.

[Jibjub80]

Sorry, I meant 1.38, not 1.30

[Jibjub80]

HAHAHAHAHA 1.30 Ernie, "OctoPUSSY"

[Wintermute01001]

Ernie = River Tam

[cdnLEE]

I've never watched sesame street when I was a child, but I keep thinking of squidward when bert talks.

[coralin378]

@cdnLEE

Bert>>>Squidward

he's less self centered

[Keijz74]

Neheheh!! Ernie, let's have some oatmeal! Bert never gets too excited LOL

[GuyaneseRasTa]

if i was bert, I would call the ambulance and tell them my roomate has gone delusional.
