Posted: Sat Jul 16, 2005 12:20 pm Post subject: My theories on Bert and Ernie |
|
|
Yeah, Sesame Street was a TV show, but it probably had its movies, too. I figured the Movie Crap section was the best place to put this.
You've certainly heard the joke/rumor that Bert and Ernie are gay, right? Most people don't take it seriously (and some take it too seriously), but it always made sense to me. People seem to think you're nuts if you actually agree with it, but i'll explain my reasoning.
Since I was 12 or 13 (maybe younger), I held the theory that Bert and Ernie were really made to be a couple. After all, Sesame Street had a lot of lessons about diversity on it - there were people of all colors and ethnicities, and they even explained different holidays and cultures. If they were so into showing different types of people, couldn't they have easily worked a gay couple into the show? Of course, such things aren't totally accepted, so they kinda had to keep it low key.
"But they're only puppets!"
Yeah, but how many cartoon kid shows have episodes where the mom and dad have a new baby? Sure, they're not shown screwing, but that baby didn't come out of thin air. Bert and Ernie may not have genitals sewn onto their puppet bodies, but they represent two males.
"But they're not lovers, they're buddies!"Just because they were never shown doing anything romantic doesn't mean they didn't have a romantic relationship. Remember, they couldn't make it too obvious. Anyway, gay couples aren't just two people that screw constantly - don't they have fun and hang out without everything having to be sexually related? Especially if a gay couple is trying to keep it in the closet, they become a little more buddy-buddy in front of watching eyes.
"Bert was originally Ernie's dad!"
I just read this piece of trivia: Bert was supposed to be the adult or father figure among the twosome, but apparently, the creators (changing it before they ever went on air) thought they'd be better off as two adult friends. Hmm, Bert as a single parent with no mom around could be gay (heck, maybe he even would've adopted?), but making it so that he lives with a very close friend of the same gender that sleeps in the same room really seals the deal!
comments, anyone? |

Always have to bring that up any time I make a point, don't you? I guess you just don't comprehend the beauty of toilet art. |

I think you guys have waaaaaaaayyyyyy too much time on your hands!! My son had an Ernie doll he dragged around with him for years. I still have it on top of my dresser, so I have a soft spot for Bert and Ernie. |

According to that, the Sesame Street people have always denied anything going on between them. But then again, they say to only believe something once it's been officially denied! LOL |
