  • "Ma kill this motha" - Bert

  • @JP5466 ernie is what's called a live hands puppet and you're right it does take two puppeteers to work him. One puppeteer, in this case jim henson, works his head with his right hand and the puppet's left hand with his left hand. (This is why most puppets are left-handed) A second puppeteer works the puppet's right hand only. This is cleverly called "right-handing". (An exception is the swedish chef; jim did the head, frank oz did the hands) sorry for the long explanation, I love the muppets :P

  • The 2010 US Election.

  • It's interesting that LEFT-y, keeps saying "RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT"!

    

  • Must have taken 2 puppeters to operate Ernie. One to work his mouth and another one to work his hands.

  • This is Ernie's original shirt.  I wonder why they changed it early on...

  • from early 1970

  • @AmonAmarth1988 I wholeheartedly agree! I've even waited for Cookie to appear...

  • Lefty ran as a republican on the Teabagger platform.

    He's CONGRESSMAN Lefty now.

  • Reagan would've envied the empty box during a jellybean storm.
