![]() ![]() Of course, the moment we hear the phrases “Bert’s favorite vase” and “break” in conjunction with Ernie, we are sure we can tell where this is going. Bert doesn’t want to be disturbed and asks him to figure it out for himself but warns him that if Ernie puts it on the wrong shelf, it could fall off and break. Bert is actually fairly patient with Ernie, and Ernie ultimately comes up with a solution that benefits both of them.īut let’s take a look at one in which Ernie not only has good intentions but they actually pay off: “Big Shelf, Little Shelf”! In this sketch, Bert is trying to read the paper when Ernie asks him whether he should put Bert’s favorite vase on the big shelf or the little shelf. “We need someone who’s hungry who has a bottle of milk!” Not necessarily the funniest Bert and Ernie sketch ever but a sweet one overall. “We need someone to cooperate with,” Ernie suggests. What if he puts peanut butter on bread for both himself and Bert, and then they can both have peanut butter sandwiches?! You have to give credit to Bert for not strangling him there, but it’s possible that he’s just too weak from hunger.Īnyway, Ernie makes the sandwiches and they’re both happy, except for the fact that, as with Grover, the peanut butter has made their mouths very sticky. ![]() At which point Bert suggests that maybe he could put some peanut butter on it, at which point Ernie is stuck with a brilliant and crazy idea. Poor Bert asks Ernie how the bread is, and he replies that it’s “Kind of dull” with nothing on it. And without thinking, Ernie starts to eat a piece, expecting that to be his meal and the peanut butter to be Bert’s. ![]() For himself, he’s brought a loaf of bread, for Bert a jar of peanut butter. In “Peanut Butter Sandwiches”, Ernie brings food home from the store to a very grateful Bert, who is extremely hungry. As a huge flood of water begins to rise up to Bert and Ernie’s necks, it occurs to him that he might have forgotten to turn off the water!Īnd then we come to one that probably has the most prominent lesson thus far, namely cooperation. His hands? His wrists? His neck? Yes, yes, yes. Bert asks if he’s washed behind his ears. ![]() “Is that any way to treat me after all the nice things I did for you?!” Again, Bert can’t win for losing! Not unlike Ernie yelling at Herbert Birdsfoot due to his own imagination having run away from him, here he gets mad at a completely innocent Bert as the result of him having tried but failed to be thoughtful towards Bert!Įrnie’s head also seems to not be fully on straight in “Ernie Forgets Something After His Bath”, when Bert enters the bathroom to discover that Ernie’s just gotten out of the tub but can’t remember something he’s sure he hasn’t done. Which is sweet, except for the fact that he begins to snore so loudly that Bert awakens in a fright and subsequently makes so much noise that he wakes Ernie up. So, instead, he decides to go to sleep in the chair besides Bert. At first he tries to think of things he can do that won’t bother Bert, however everything from watching TV to playing with a ball would make too much noise. He can tell that Bert’s asleep because his eyes are actually closed, depicted via a funny but extremely odd-looking closed-eye-lash effect. Ah, the stuff that slash is made from!Īnd continuing a similar theme, Ernie comes home in “Ernie Tries Not to Wake Bert” to discover that Bert has fallen asleep in his armchair. His solution? Eating cookies in Bert’s bed! He climbs in with his friend, munching cookies all the while, and asks him to move over. He will never eat cookies in his bed again. Ernie probably doesn’t mean to drive Bert crazy in “Cookies in Bed”, either, although he’s even more thoughtless in this very short but classic scene, in which Ernie is eating cookies in bed, and Bert warns him against it, telling him he’ll get cookies in the sheets, which will make him itch, and Ernie thanks him profusely for saving him from this fate. ![]()
