Sesame Street - Ernie & Bert: drum game

[Gothichick3]

Ernie denies defeat c:

[corjonbett]

Well, I can't lose `em ALL!

[lilmike398]

I like how Bert eventually gets sucked into every thing Ernie wants to do. Plus, the look on Ernie's face is priceless when Bert guesses the last drum solo correctly.

[zacandtaylorrule]

Bert is the original Bobby Mcferrin haha.

[vickywsm]

ernie is like bert's nightmare except this time...

[corjonbett]

BERT WINS!!

FLAWLESS VICTORY!!!

[redbike2009]

I have played drums once. Hit it, Ernie!

[zangazoo2007]

OMG I loved this episode! Ba dum bum ching!

[StefanoFan27]

now that's a mouth full.

[ocdrums23]

Now those drums sound better than the older thing! And Bert is a spoil sport!

[PandaMishima]

@ocdrums23

Nonsense, Ernie didn't expect Bert to do so well, I bet, more likely was prepared for one of Bert's famous tantrums or groaning spells. Bert's getting the rhythm right ruined the whole game :-)

[soulformusic4020]

erine tried to get bert but ernie got got!!

[MrAaronLadner]

Ernie is a Kick Ass Drummer! LMAO!

[Keijz74]

Ernie is kind of blessed with a dull friend like Bert. Makes him look cooler. ;o)#

A book on oatmeal LOL

[MiltownPunkette21]

Bert can imitate Ernie's playing very well ;)

[KellstErik]

Ernie goes out of his way to be accomodating, but Bert is just a total dick.

[Next2Nirvana]

What great memories this brings! Jim Henson and Frank Oz....pure magic! They were the BEST!

[ZNKChannel]

They used part of this in the 38th/39th season opening.

[woshy0]

hey folks r u kidding? i have 32 years old and i WATCH every ernie&bert available on the earth!!! LOLOLOLOL

[tifahentai]

Bert's got a great sense of memorization and rhythm when it comes to music and this is one of the Ernie and Bert skits that Bert won over Ernie's childish antics.

[1990babyface]

What did Ernie say at the end? He had to go feed his puppies? Why did he leave after Bert wanted to play some more?

[Ynnepchan]

He's a sore loser XD

[1990babyface]

A Sore Loser? Ernie loves getting on Bert's nerves 24/7. Are Ernie & Bert living in a apartment together or are they in college or something? Why do they live with each other? And Ernie doesn't have any puppies. He sure made up that ball face lie.

[Ynnepchan]

They live in the basment apt of the building. They are roommates. XD And Ernie did find a puppy once. XDDD

[1990babyface]

So are they college roomates?

[Ynnepchan]

hmm idk. XD Their b-days are 20 years b4 the show started so no telling. XD

[1990babyface]

They might not be college roomates. Ernie acts waay to immature to be considered a college student. But I have seen college students act dummer than Ernie before. Try waching College Hill on BET.

[Ynnepchan]

Hey no telly. Their lives are pretty vague in that show. It is a 'kid's' show after all. XD

[1990babyface]

Not just a kids show, but for everyone, Young & Old.

[Ynnepchan]

Got that right. XD lol I'm 20 and I watch it every morning. XD

[1990babyface]

Hey I'm 19 & I grew up on it. I still watch it every morning.

[Ynnepchan]

lol but are you the nerd that spent 15 hours on Muppet Wicky and YT looking for every aingle B&E clip and looking up stuff on their makers with a 21 year old than woke up earliy to watch it the next day? XD lol Alas though I miss the 80's eps the most. <=( That was a good time for them.

[1990babyface]

Who me? I'm not a nerd. I'm just as cool as you are. Watching my favorite characters of Sesame Street.

[1990babyface]

Enjoy? What are you talking about?

[1990babyface]

Dude you dont have to tell me that. It looks real retarded on your part.

[Garrettk41]

Not puppies, guppies.

[1990babyface]

@Garrettk41 whatever

[corjonbett]

@1990babyface I think I gotta go.... feed the fishies....

[corjonbett]

@corjonbett feed my guppies....

[1990babyface]

@corjonbett what r u talking about anonymous person?

[corjonbett]

@1990babyface you wondered what Ernie said at the end, then I corrected myself.

[hj86]

lol ba dam bam ching!

[OhGodIPooed]

lol bert got his way this time lol

[moatguy]

One of the few times Bert got what he wanted in the end.

[MuppetPro]

Well, can't loose them all. _Bert

LOL Ernie seemed very shocked! LOL ;P

[steamfitter32]

My thoughts excactly, john bonham of led zepp!!! lol!

[imover18gotityube]

They need more rooms in their house. xD

[Keijz74]

And rockwool insulation ;o)#

[islandman24]

I think Ernie stopped the game cause Bert was obviously too good.

[doctalee]

Ernie is more of a artist and he always has to help bert see the light

[finnishminnow]

Bert certainly did a great job of repeating all the beats that Ernie played on the drum, and therefore they had a fun time together. What do you think?

[finnishminnow]

Bert also did a super-good job of repeating the long and last drum beat, wouldn't you agree?

[finnishminnow]

That's great!

[gimpmasterw]

lol

[Keijz74]

:o) G G G G G  EH EH EH EH EH

[petey8080]

Ernie is such a salesman!

[raakone]

I wonder if the "bad-um" is supposed to be a homage to "Bonham", as in the drummer of Led Zeppelin?

[TonyfromSanDiego]

2:45 love his laugh

[Stefanogam]

awesome!!! :D

[unsw1tchd]

"Ernie, you know i don't play drums." now thats a lie cuz he obviously called himself the "most swinging person of them all" in the other video

[1ruble]

aahah this really good ) from my childhood.

[bellamai]

I don't remember this one.

Well done, Bert. Well done.

[HayleyCometra]

I remember this! Oh, the find memories!

Hey, does someone have the one where Bert is outside singing and marching and get interrupted by Ernie's drumming and singing, and it ends up with them fighting so much, Olivia turns up and gives them a lesson on cooperation?

[subulion]

I want that one two.He sings "i love to march and ernie sings I love to drum and then they fight.

[eggspoonfly]

I dont want to

[califgirl101]

What a great memorable video this is. I'm so happy to see this drum sketch again. I get a kick out of Bert. "It was the best of oatmeals, it was the worst of oatmeals!" A Tale Of Two Breakfasts? That is too funny! Thanks againb my friend. :)

[Vader9]

Thanks for posting Jon! I've been looking for a copy of this skit in better quality.

[DiAnno13]

What happened to 'Is Big Bird yellow? Of course I play the drums!'

[jonnytbirdzback]

Sawing14s has that video.

[Garrettk41]

Yes, but I think what he meant was that Bert says he doesn't play the drums here, whereas in that other clip, he says he's really good on the drums.

[glowworm2]

Wow-I was impressed that Bert actually got that last one right!

Heh-Bert won for once!

[hoopersghost]

Oh heck yeah...that last pattern must have taken Frank Oz three or four takes to memorize. Thanks for posting this gem here, Jonny!
