[JimmyCaravan]

I think Bert left the shower running...

[nellie2581]

Ernie is so childish but I love him. Ernie & Bert = The Odd Couple

[jeffdadude87]

[Cococbunny123]

@sailorsenmurv WHY ARE YOU TAKING MY WORD !!!!! HAI IS MY WORD !!!!

[BigEasyWinger]

It could be a pigeon!!!!!!!

[FireIceQueen01]

I like you too Bert!

[powerpup97]

What a life those guys live!

[Akhilendra2010]

Bert: You've been watching me play a game of arrows?

Me: No Bert, I was too busy eating to pay attention to you. There are no pigeons here either. There's a cat here though.

[jtomally9681]

"This is kinda kicky, Ernie. This is better than washing socks." lol

[sailorsenmurv]

Oh Hai Bert!

You know, when I was a kid I never noticed that Ernie/Bert had almost identical pitches and speech patterns to Kermit/Fozzie . . . Only my cynical 30 year old self spots the voice actors. :(

[raggedyanarchist]

Oh hi Bert!

I like you too!

[MrTornado300]

A PIEGION?!

[TheOneTrimmer]

NOTHING is better than watching socks.

[claireschmieder]

"I don't want to play the game." "Good, let me tell you how." So classic!

[TheTimBurton1]

pbs was playing these episodes today?

[Quamlen]

ERNIE! You put arrows all over the walls of the apartment! LOL!

[genchandy]

Hahahaaa! So cute when Bert looked at the camera!

I like you, Bert!

[EugLoven]

I REMEMBER THIS ONE FROM WaaaaaaaaY back! HAHA Geezus these are so incredible to rewatch!

[peppypenguin101]

[chainsmaster251]

I couldn't agree more :D

[chainsmaster251]

better than washing socks

ROFL

[ladyvincenza]

@chainsmaster251

Yes, Bert has some strange interests!

[RabbitDance]

"more fun than washing socks!" Bert and Boober should get together sometime.

[MarkTheMagnificent]

haha "better than watching socks". he's so great.

[JuanMamaril]

IIRC, this clip followed the "Follow the Arrow" song in one Sesame Street episode.

[keatonbynumbers]

hahaha bert is really adorable in this one.

[jtomally9681]

I always hated it when the TV station went on stand by because something went wrong while Sesame Street was on.

[brianklick]

This is 1 of the rare sketches where bert or ernie look into the camera and talk to the kids.

[greenth1ng]

"I don't want to play the game."

"Good! Let me tell you how!"

LOL!!!

[tkshredder]

"yeah, it's better than washing socks!"

[darthtater5428]

"and it could be a pigeon, you said!"

[Ynnepchan]

XDDDD

[Garrettk41]

I'll bet Frank ad-libbed that line.

[tpirman1982]

@greenth1ng I guess it takes something Bert enjoys to get him motivated, huh?

[Deanmo23]

The audio is no good. I hope nantovision can replace that with enhanced audio.

[finnishminnow]

Does Bert say, "This is kind of kiekie, Ernie" or "This is kind of kinky, Ernie"?

[tpirman1982]

Kicky.

[Ynnepchan]

He says it a lot XD

[finnishminnow]

He sure does.

[Davenergy]

Best laugh! "eh eh eh eh eh eh!"

[luxapollo]

I forgot about Bert's obsession with pigeons.

[mariechaton]

and paperclips!

[Cyborcat]

I love you too, Bert =P

[Jennennett]

he is not

[DjHyphie]

Bert's a retard lmao, earnie is funny :)

[whotookaegir]

This is kind of kinky, Ernie! Better than washing socks!

[tpirman1982]

That's "kicky"!

[curlytoes79]

cool, Bert likes me!

[deyua]

LOL. "Crused" huh?

[happy7117]

Sounds like he says "this is kind of kinky"

[tpirman1982]

That's "kicky"!

[lqiclemson]

Is Ernie voiced by Jerry Seinfield?

[legoofeggos]

no, jim henson, then steve withmire

[RedGyl]

"It's better than watching socks!"

[MrTornado300]

@RedGyl washing

[Deanmo23]

I don't like the sound quality, though. I hope Nantovision can mix this video with better sound.

[Angie2343]

So Bert and Ernie's living quarters are revealed to be an apartment! I KNEW IT!

[jamtrax14]

this is kind of kiki ernie better than washing socks -------> this arrow goes over here.. :-)

[KagenMagic]

I like you too Bert.

[yetimaster1]

YOU'VE HEARD OF THE GAME!

[LanaHensley]

Isn't Bert the most nerdy muppet of them all? "Better than washing socks..."

[melissa3289]

hessupposed to be nerdy -) but yes he is

[jeopardy60611]

It's so typical that Ernie talks Bert into playing some stupid game, and Bert gets into it, and Ernie wants to kill the whole thing when Bert is enjoying himself. In this case, Ernie says he'll take the arrows down, but Bert is in the mood for another run. Heck, I'd be HONORED to get a chance to follow Ernie's arrows!

[melissa3289]

yeah he did the same thing in his ryhming game one of my favorite burt and earnie skits

[ackynaky]

lol... awesome... pidgeon has got to be slang for something else!!!

[callinstead09]

pigeon is slang for pigeon,

[bandit957]

Bert's mouth looks weird in this skit. It looks like he has sort of a scowl. Usually he doesn't really have a frown or a smile but more of a neutral look.

[MeAndMyRC]

Bert's look has changed a lot over the years, but that laugh still stays the same

[ZNKChannel]

@bandit957 I've noticed that, too, also that the season 8-13 Bert has had that bump in his mouth. Also that his eyebrow mech. seems to have broke. It stays in one position.

Anyways, my favorite part is when Ernie says "Bert, would I play a trick on you?" & he stiffles a laugh.

[faithfulover]

hehe bert am i someone you love :D i love you too :p :D

[38000193]

i like you too Bert lol

[setheurovision94]

"This is kind of kicky... better than washing socks." Interesting hobbies Bert has.

[bubblebear83]

It was funny at the end when Bert found out that he was looking at us. Ernie wants to take the arrows down, but Bert wants to play follow the arrow again.

[tpirman1982]

Bert must've changed his mind after having an exciting experience during the game.

[Ferndawg812]

Bert=Pidgenphile.

[nine9s]

"Better than washing socks"?!?!?  wtf

[ISNorden]

Just goes to show you how strange Bert's likes and dislikes are...loved the clip, though!

[Ghinya]

This is hysterical! I forgot all about it! Thanks for posting it. Ernie and Burt rock. :)
