From Episode 1092: Ernie hears that one of the neighbors has caught a bad cold, so he consults a home medical book for advice on how to treat sick people--ignoring the obvious patient right in front of him!

NOTES:

1. According to Muppet Wiki, this clip has aired as early as Episode 673.

2. Please excuse my posting this clip out of order--the first copy I tried didn't process correctly.

P.S. Many thanks to Sesame Workshop for continuing to allow fan uploads on YouTube.

  • How dare you call yourself a friend, Ernie! Do you not even have horse sense? Now forget the book, give Bert some juice, straighten his blanket out, and start showing a bit of consideration the way any other decent friend would.

    Incidentally, Frank Oz is really very good at sounding all stuffed up.

  • Abso-freaking-lutely. After the way Ernie treats Bert (or fails to treat him) in this sketch, I can only conclude that Bert has the patience of a saint when it comes to friendships.

  • I know one place Ernie's not getting a job at...

  • And to think another sketch has him wanting to be a doctor; Ernie would flunk out of pre-med in two days flat.

  • aww poor Bert :(

  • @jeopardy60611

    Maybe Bert's better off with Ernie out of the place, considering the questionable nature of his attempt at "help", Of course even Ernie isn't as bad as Grover :-)

  • I'M SICK, ERNIE, CAN'T YOU TELL THAT?

    When I was a kid and saw this, I thought Bert was really sick. Good acting on his part.

    It's funny as hell how it takes Ernie forever to tell that Bert is sick, then when he finally realizes it, he doesn't care about Bert, but he is only concerned with who Bert caught the cold from.

    Ernie should put on his doctor outfit and treat Bert. (I'm talking about another clip where Ernie pretends to be a doctor and gives Bert a check-up.)

  • Ernie sounds like Rick Moranis

  • No, Bert says "Oh Brother", not "Some Brother". That statement got me one time, too.

  • they are brothers?

  • Haha, used to wait all through Sesami Street waiting to see these guys! Hey Bert and Ernie from the UK! lol

  • I always loved the weak "ahhh" sound that Bert always made at the end of each segment. LOL

  • Erie is not stupid, he is irritating!!! If you look at the different skits Erie was selfish and rude. If I had been Bert I would never be his room mate. you have to admit this stuff is hilarious!!!! I felt bad for Bert when I use to watch this.

  • Bert sounds funny wita Diffrent voice.
