I gotta wonder how Jim did that laugh. He even had Kermit and Lenny do it during the Inchworm Sketch when the second worm shows up, right?

[MuppetVoicesAndMore]

@NaiTaiDai I can actually do a fair imitation of the Ernie laugh. Its fun. And yes, he did use the voice on the original Kermit and Lenny.

John's Ernie sounds eerily similar to Jim's, but Jim and Steve are the best Ernie's.

[MuppetVoicesAndMore]

@disneynut06 In my opinion, John's sounds like a bad impression of Jim's Ernie. Steve's sounds similar to Jim's, but original at the same time. That's what I like about Steve's Kermit and Ernie.

I like Jim and Steve's Ernie best.

Why is Ernie talking to GLaDOS?

Hehe, the snowman sketch made me laugh - timeless comedy

[JessicaofLPS]

I just heard the I'd Like To Visit The Moon and almost cried. I did not see that coming..... I remember that and the rubber ducky song so much. I need to stop watching these or I;ll fill a bucket.

Obviously Henson's is the best. He invented the character and the voice.

Just to ask, in the second season of Play With Me Sesame, why did John Tartaglia perform Ernie? Was Steve Whitmire busy or something?
