Sesame Street: Bert and Ernie Blow a Fuse

[timpriddy73]

EARLY BERT LOOKS LIKE A METH HEAD TWEEKER

[MIKECNW]

@timpriddy73 Keep it to yourself!

[0932486509]

How does one blow a fuse? We didn't cover that one in sex ed.

[wileyk209zback]

Anyone else reminded of "The Simpsons" when we see their eyes in the dark?

[rtuckerivey]

0:55 Frank oz's or Jim Henson's head can be seen when bert sneaks to the blender

[pepperjackcheese1]

Now you see it blow a fuse!

[ArtyEffem]

Crappy american electrics - lights and appliances on the same fuse?

[AarHan3]

Appliance War!! :^)

[bjr43]

LOL, funny stuff, even if it's for kids, these sketches are hilarious.

[MortalAnonymous]

lol Bert dancing to the blender...XD

[sweetlife031]

One of the very few E&B skits without end music lol

[KaristaSwiss]

1:05 AIEE those eys :o AIEEEE

[MarshFacev2]

Did anyone else notice at 0:52 what appeared to the back of a puppeteer?

[Fab4geek2010]

Classic Sesame Street! Who needs you Elmo!

[hviw]

Why couldn't Bert just take the record player into another room?

[JonnyAMax]

Wait wasn't it daytime outside? Dang they blew out the sun too!? D:

[MsPandaRosa]

@JonnyAMax

Maybe it was about sunset, getting dark in general.

[MIKECNW]

@JonnyAMax Probably not.

Sounds like they were watching a TV westerns which were still common on network TV in 69.

[YankeePat94]

Kids, this is why you should never turn on too many appliances or electrical stuff at once.

[erikals2]

@YankeePat94 yeah - but we have circuit breakers now...

[CaptMARNEY]

O-kay smart guy!

[loneshewolf74]

Lol Bert and Ernie's hair looks like someone left them out in the rain. ^_^

[MrTornado300]

What's that song on the radio at 0:51?

[MrTornado300]

From Season 1

[MissSheilaBeila]

They, apparently, didn't play this clip that often in the 70s, because I don't remember this clip at all. Their voices sounded a bit different, so I'm assuming it was much earlier.

[hviw]

@MissSheilaBeila I'm thinking they may have decided it was setting a bad example (even though it shows the consequences). You don't want kids to have a noise war.

[MIKECNW]

@MissSheilaBeila No they played it enough.

[Trund27]

I love the sound of Ernie's footsteps! And what about that quick shot of Frank Oz's hair? Back? just before Bert crab-legs it over to the blender! LOL! 0:55

[easycomego]

i like how you can only see their eyes when it goes dark

[Barelybe]

"O-KAY Smart guy"... I was convinced that Bert was going to go all De Niro on Ernie. Haha, they both really sound like Gangsters in this one, especially when the lights get dark ha!

[Barelybe]

"O-KAY Smart guy"... I was convinced that Bert was going to go all De Niro on Ernie.

[Pupepepets]

I need to be honest, Ernie looks like a crack head on 1:54

[Studmeister17]

Wow. This must be like the first Ernie and Bert sketch ever aired.

[Collllllllllllin]

My god I love the old sesame street, but isn't Bert a little greasy lookin'? Just kidding. I wish Jim Henson lived longer.

[toonguy06]

does anyone have a segment with E&B with big bird putting his head throught the ceiling? I that is one where they talk about tall and tallest

[bybeert]

@toonguy06 I've been looking for that one too as well as another segment about Bert buying a birthday present for his Aunt Matilda and Ernie messes with it. These segments bring back so many memories!

[shydmples]

@toonguy06 I remember that from when I was younger...wow...I'd love to see that.

[JasonMC72]

@toonguy06 Hey, I remember seeing that Sesame Street clip with Bert, Ernie and Big Bird when I was 5 years of age!

[MountainLife2015]

I Most say out of all of the Bert and Ernie Video Clips on Utube this one has to be the funny's Thing is I hate to see how many times they've had to replace fuses in there Breaker!!!

[josehaha321]

i like the original voices better

[pikanglova]

what is the episode where Bert throws Ernie out of the house for eating cookies in the bed?

[AutismAuntie]

I don't think I have ever seen this one. Lol-- I thought at first it was a thunderstorm at first because of the noise of the TV.

[MIKECNW]

Someone mention they thought Ernie was watching a westen movie, don't forget they they also has westerns on TV in 69.

[PandaMishima]

@MIKECNW

Could be a film about World War Two, it's just loud with lots of gunfire and crashing.

[Nightmastercool97]

How old is this sesame street clip?

[halcaannen]

@Nightmastercool97 and it was in the year 1969!!!

[jeopardy60611]

Why does Bert tell Ernie "You blew a fuse?" Bert is the one who started the whole fight by turning on the record player, and he ended up killing the power by turning on the mixer. Good clip, though! I forgot about this one.

[CatchyCC]

...what was the lesson here?

[singingchicas1]

@CatchyCC sharing!!

[Bradwick1]

Man this was a good old one to see. love to see more rare clips. When will they release the outtakes?

[Angie2343]

@Bradwick1 Between the Muppets or their performers/bodyguards?

[See918]

LOL @ how Ernie responds to Bert at 1:12 to 1:17. Also, what difference would it it have mad if Bert did play a record during Ernies TV show? All it sounded like was a bunch of gunshots, no dialogue.

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Maybe Ernie was watching a Western movie?

[maziebunny]

I kinda liked Bert's record over the music playing over Ernie's radio.

[RJSchex]

Exactly the same radio used on the "volume control" sketch.

[scooterpanama]

ROTFL@ *pppshhhat* only 2 sets of eyeballs in the dark...

[presto35]

I haven't seen this in years - this is sooooo funny!!! Thanks for the post!

[evantrude]

howchildishcanyouget!?HAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[QueenOfBabylon1]

lolllllllllll

[shydmples]

lol...they had the blender in the living room

[shydmples]

Wow..Bert is listening to some groovy music for a change.

[briwond]

LOL 0:53 I like the way Bert crabwalks over to the blender :P

[gregoryagogo]

I had to go back to notice it!!! He glides!

[mattdawg83686]

@briwond that's kind of spooky!

[kag240]

OMG that is HILARIOUS

[violet46]

oh wow that is really an old one! I can tell by the colors in Ernie's shirt. In later years it changed to red and blue.

[eyepatchinc]

bert needs some hair gel here

[RabbitDance]

I like Bert's dancing XD

[856956sinewavetones]

how did they get those eyes to glow in the dark like that @ 1:06?

[GodzillasaurusJr]

They don't really glow in the dark, it's just the white eyes in front of a black background. They didn't really shoot this in the dark. :)

[finnishminnow]

BTW, could someone please upload the "Bert's Egg" sketch, along with the Early Version of the sketch that presents "Bert & The Banana Phone"?

[rtivey01]

early bert and bananaphone is on but its a mix of hebrew and english bet is hebrew and ernie is english

[finnishminnow]

Okay.

[muppetfan33]

I remember this one from my infancy years. Every time I see something from my infancy, I feel like I've traveled back in time.

[ProfessorIgor]

YESSSSSSSSS !! another long lost post !! this one cracked me up as a little kid !!

[bruce0813]

It was funny that Bert said "There now I can see, you blow a fuse."

[KagenMagic]

Just when I thought I'd seen them all.... awesome.

[finnishminnow]

Thanks for uploading this sketch with great quality.

[CR100692]

It's by Sesame Street. They have the highest quality .

[finnishminnow]

That's for sure.

[wilek209]

LOL! I think it'd be funny if there were a newer version of this, where Bert has a CD player instead of a record player, Ernie plays MP3s on a computer, and Bert makes a microwave oven beep over and over to cause the blackout!

[soilsminor]

I've been looking for this one forever. I always thought it was hilarious with the eyes being the only thing you could see in the dark. It's still funny almost 40 years later.

[flipponzin24]

Did they change the Muppets? They look awfully different.

[CR100692]

This is a very early version!

[Zeldainhyrule]

Their voices are way deeper than before

[mikeabundo]

Seems Ernie was more aggressive in season one. :P

[zillis]

The eyes in the dark freaked me out when I was a kid.

[DalekQueen]

1:05 made me laugh:)

[CyberPirate83]

Haha.

[princess7strawberry]

This is like real life.

[hyrulemusic]

Damn, beat me to it. :)

[princess7strawberry]

Ha ha! :D

[Spaceydoodle]
