omg they were roommates
So Ernie got roommatezoned?
Given the connotations of the word “roommate,” I’d say it’s still sadder that Bert got friendzoned.
Isn’t Bert the kind of guy who says he doesn’t have friends and hates Ernie even though he secretly likes him?
Bert is clearly the kind of guy who is pretty sure that Ernie is his friend, but is afraid to say it publicly on the 0.01% chance that Ernie says “we’re not friends, just roommates”, which would emotionally devastate Bert.
I agree by 100.000%
“I wish you wouldn’t drink so much, Bert”
“Confirmed Bachelors”
When will they finally push the beds together for good?
It’s ok guys, you don’t have to hide.
Aren’t they canonically married?
No idea. I haven’t watched Sesame Street since the early 90s, but it makes a lot of sense from what I remember about them.
Also it’s fun to say they are to piss off the people who care so much about shit that doesn’t matter.
Not canonically. I think one of the writers is gay but said he never intended them to be a couple. If that’s true is for no one to know for sure and your head canon is for no one to judge
Ernie is Bert’s friend, and Bert can’t take that away from him.
