Ernie and Bert

Ernie and Bert were two muppets on Sesame Street who appeared in numerous skits together.

The "Ernie and Bert" skits were usually highly comedic routines in which Ernie would come up with some sort of hare-brained idea and Bert would calmly attempt to talk him out of it. The skits would often end with Bert completly losing his temper and Ernie still remaining oblivious to his own bad idea.
