I never noticed this before! Watch Ernie at time index 1:24. "Two, huh? Whoo-Hoo!" Too funny!

@thezaylady I hear ya...I have more than 150 pre-1970 Matchbox toy cars and I'm still collecting. Although my wife puts up with it, God bless her, I know she just doesn't see the magic! lol

We all know what kind of parade Ernie wants to go to.

This is an interesting one that underlines that Ernie and Bert have different ideas of what's fun and exciting. What's also possible is that Ernie has attention defecit disorder, and Bert is autistic.

It was funny that Bert was so desperately searching for a certain cap, and Ernie says: "Oh yea. I just found this one." (Not to take away from Ernies kind act here. But it was funny to see Bert in a grateful bliss while Ernie was sighing: "You're welcome.")

Ernie's just more active than Bert, he likes getting out and doing stuff, while Bert is more contemplative (and I can relate).

At least Ernie tried to show interest for Bert's sake, even if his heart's not in it. Maybe he went outside later.

@MIKECNW Well Mr. Know-It-All, Bert is an intellectual loner who likes to engage in sophicated activities like reading books, writing letters to Mr. Rogers, choosing to watch his goldfish(instead playing a game of catch with Ernie) and shows limited amounts of interest when he's around Ernie. Sometimes he just wants to be left alone when Ernie wants to play with him. Furthermore, it takes a person with A. S. to identify another.

[MIKECNW]

@JasonMC72 Gee stupid, how do you know he has the same problem?

[MIKECNW]

I have mixed feelings about this. While Ernie's entitled to how he feels, he should of been more appriciative of Bert's interest and not let it get him down, including be happy that he made Bert's day.

And the funny thing about it is that Ernie allowed if to ruin his day when he could of gone out and entertained himself.

Bert is my inspiration. It's because of him that i actually started my own collection. 12 awesome years of collecting piecesof metal, and it's all because of him :D

What does any of this have to do with being gay or not having a girlfriend? I do not understand your train of thought!
