Sesame Street - That's What Friends Are For

[smackmiranda]

If there is anything lovelier than watching Oz and Henson clowning around with puppets on their arms, I have yet to see it. The nuances they give the to the characters of Ernie and Bert never fail to delight.

[Shaylashay]

These were the good ole days when Bert and Ernie were nothing more than BEST FRIENDS...now they're pettitioning to make Bert and Ernie the first gay couple on Childrens TV. SMH some things need to be left alone

[binturong1000]

Sleep in the kitchen? How big is your kitchen? They should have showed Bert sleeping in the kitchen at the end. And why didn't he go to the couch?

[binturong1000]

You can be tired if you want to. lol lol lol

[emithunderfan1]

yo tengo ese dvd de``Lo Mejor de Beto y Enrique´´ esta también viene en el de``Vamos a cantar´´ que también lo tengo lo tengo en mi casa y en casa de mis abuelos para que así ya no me preocupe si se me pierde uno y cuando vaya a casa de mis abuelos que me voy a quedar allá cada fin de semana, no tenga que cargar tanto

[galgal291980]

if you are tired, i do not mind if you are tired.. rowl...

[melissa3289]

this is kid verion of odd couple hehe

[269848]

@melissa3289 The Upside Down Show(on Nick Jr)is sort of the same way. They seem to be the Australian version of B&E.

[FrancileneFonseca]

I always thought the concept of friendship of Ernie a little selfish ...hehehe

[Shaddypink12]

@FrancileneFonseca Lol that's true, which kinda makes it more realistic because we all have "that" friend who's a bit of a jerk, but we still put up with 'em for whatever reason XD

[melissa3289]

@FrancileneFonseca if ernie is the selfish one bert is the jerky one

[FrancileneFonseca]

@melissa3289 And I wonder why you talk about Bert that way.Seems like you don't like him.

[Miggsy43]

I like how Ernie says that Bert's gone to sleep in the kitchen AGAIN.

Classic Sesame Street is absolutely fantastic.

"If he wants to sleep in the kitchen- that's OK with me"

[thenowinstitute]

These clips bring back so many memories!! Thank you for posting this. I've watched several clips and remember watching every one of them as a child. :)

[tedmania]

I wondered why Bert puts up with Ernie.

[JuzCallMeLeX]

@tedmania

Weren't you listening?? Thats what friends are for!!

[sk8r4l1fe18]

@tedmania because with Bert, Ernie is that much more hilarious!

[HolidayInGuantanamo]

"That's what a friend is. Not minding too much because you like someone." (tear) So sweet. I gotta get those Old Skool DVDs!

[nowthatswhatsup1]

i'm laughing my face off!!

[bittersoul247]

classic

[Hondo20132]

This is another that aired as late as 2007.

[brianklick]

Hilarious. ernie gets up in berts face singing about him sleeping while bert is staring at him clearly not sleeping

[GarfieldVsSnoopy]

It almost sounds like Rubber Duckie.

[brianklick]

Yes, there woudlnt be erine and bert sketches if bert werent so patient

[niniibabii]

you are sleeping..really sleeping but i dont mind!!

[gimpmasterw]

hahahahahahahhhaahahahahahahah­ahahahhahahaahhaahhaahahahahaa­hahahahahahahhaahhaahha

[beckerkorn]

"Guess he's gone to sleep in the kitchen again."

HAHA!

[writerchic16]

Omg, I was looking up another "That's What Friends Are For" and found this...I think I actually remember watching this when I was a kid 'cause it seems really familiar.

[haylsterrr]

"I'm gonna go sleep in the kitchen"

Gold.

[ragundo247]

i love this song it gets through that all friends should except eachother for who they are and what they do cuz thats what true friends are for =]

[melissa3289]

i love bert and earnie i wish everyone will stop saying they are gay they are childhood memories and my opion the best friends i ever saw on tv lol

even though earnie ie way more fun

[Muppephile]

@melissa3289 anyone who is delusional enough to think they are supposed to be gay, should think about the fact that it's a kids show. It's not advisable to talk about controversial issues on a kids show, be it religion, homosexuality, evolution, violence, animal rights, abortion, crime etc

Sesame street has gotten complaints from whackjob conservative parents for something as simple as the use of supernatural characters (like purple vampires), breastfeeding, or skimpy clothes.

[orrie10]

@Muppephile But it was also liberals who complained and had the cookie monster turned into a Fruit Monster

[Muppephile]

@orrie10 He wasnt turned into a fruit monster, he appeared vouching for healthy eating as early as the 70's.

[ADesquen]

omg i still absolutely love this song even after all these years!!!!!!!!!!!!

[whateverbillyjoe]

haha bert reminds me of my old school teacher.. mono brow dodgy hair .. she was a trooper though

[quifflez]

hahahahahaha!!!!!!! ernie always pisses bert off.. but they're still best friends!

[Zodiac307]

This song reminds me of me and my other 2 best friends. We're like Ed, Edd, and Eddy!

[im2sweet2b4got10]

"a little noise? like what?"

"like this, Bert!" *crashing earsplitting drums* "you didn't mind that, did you, bert old pal?"

*whimpers* "oh, not much..." lol

bert and ernie remind me a lot of me and my friend

[brightbite]

Hear that folks? Ernie called Bert a FRIEND, not a lover.

[schmogizborg]

earnie is always being annoying, and doing things the wrong way, but he's so darn cute about it you can't get mad at him

[tsman29]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooool XD

[Angie2343]

You all hear that? Bert's his FRIEND!

[NICKLOVEPETERGRIFFIN]

Why does Ernie always pisses off poor oh Bert

[beautifuldayboy]

My brother has no autism but I do. I don't mind.

[celtmagic310]

"I don't mind if you are tired...if you're tired, I don't mind it"  :)

[neocelestia]

I didn't even know there was a Best of Ernie and Bert DVD. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

[GANGSTASHANIS]

I also have the Best Of Ernie And Bert =]

[wrestlegameshow]

I have a girlfriend who is cranky, but I don't mind that she is cranky and I like Wrestling, but she don't mind that I like Wrestling.

[lion371]

Earnie you are bothering Bert....Again!!!

[HeyButtahfly]

You would think Bert would catch on after 35 years and have some traps waiting for Ernie. How does he not see this stuff coming? LOL

[samsticka]

If Bert's tired, Ernie should quit making noise and go back to bed. That's what friends are for.

[uraniumdeath]

But the idea of this song is to show how much of a silly jerk Ernie is as he once again misses the point.

After the "I am messy" verse, Ernie was gratuitous.

[samsticka]

Yeah, I guess otherwise this wouldn't be much fun to watch.

[uraniumdeath]

I bought the Best of Ernie and Bert video HOPING that it would contain this song. My luck came through and it was on.

Love this song.

[ISNorden]

Ernie as the roommate from Hades again...Bert needs to throw him out or get industrial-strength earplugs for bedtime!
