Watching the skits now, it's apparent that Ernie is a mentally-challenged young man and Bert is paid off by somebody to allow Ernie to live with him. :lol:

No. I love Ernie and Bert, that was one of my favourite skits from Sesame Street. Ernie is one of my favourite characters.

Maybe this vid might help you....

Gee whiz, just because a guy sings a love song to his rubber duckie......oh! never mind!!!

Absolutely. These two were totally meant for each other!

:love:

I always thought of them as the Felix & Oscar of Sesame Street. In any case, I love Bert & Ernie!! :D P.S. Do you know any gay people who have unibrows like B&E do? Didn't think so. :lol:

Yea if anything Ernie was in love with Rubber Duckie. :lol:

According to Family Guy they are!!:crazy:

Even if they are, I don't care, still love them as I did when I was a kid!:rock:

OK, if Ernie and Bert are gay, how on Earth do you describe Kukla, Fran and Ollie!!!???:crazy: :eek:

Somehow I've managed to never think about their relationship. I kind of thought they were brothers. Thanks for making me thinking of them in a new light. :lol:

Oh, totally gay. Prairie Dawn's their hag.

haha...Bert's a jerk.

No they're not gay.

I just read in the book Sesame Street Unpaved that Bert and Ernie are supposed to be like Felix and Oscar on the Odd Couple. It didn't really say that but it did say that the reason that Bert and Ernie have different stripes on their shirts (Ernie's being horizontal and Bert's being vertical) is because of their personalities.

I watched a new episode of Sesame Street a few weeks ago and they have really ruined Ernie. He was wearing a backwards cap and was wearing a vest. I guess they want to make him look more like today's kids, but I prefer him just wearing his striped shirt.

This stuff about them being gay is beyond ridiculous. No offense to anyone; I've read it all over the Net.

No way. I think it's just a myth.

No way

You clearly have no sense of humor. This thread was meant in good fun and pokes fun at the "Ernie and Bert are gay" myth. If it offends you so much, then don't read it.

I think it's great you care enough about the show to take this thread so seriously, but it's obvious to me that everyone who responded to this thread doesn't actually think that Ernie and Bert are gay; they are commenting (through satire) on the absurdity of the entire concept.

Exactly. Thank you.

This post was meant as a satire. If you don't find it funny or understand it, then don't bother reading it. If I offended anyone, then that's their problem.

Just like everyone else, you are certainly intitled to your opinion, but you really should lay off of Kristen. I don't think Kristen started this thread to bash either classic kid shows or gay people. I think she was just having a little fun and this thread should be taken in the spirit it was intended. I don't think anyone here actually thinks Bert and Ernie were meant to be gay.
