8 Innocent Things Made Horribly Filthy With Needless Censorship

4. Bert And Ernie

Something of a classic, Bert and Ernie were up there with the best puppets, although not really at an Elmo or a Kermit level. Whilst Bert was always a little grumpy, you never saw him as the 'swear at your best friend' type. Ernie doesn't do very well in response, with his foul-mouthed response, calling out profanities to the camera. They have always had a strained relationship, with Bert wanting to go on adventures and starts a scheme in almost every episode, and Bert just wanting peace and quiet. The action ensues and as they enter a tirade of violence and swearing, this may have been a better way to deal with the hyperactive Ernie, rather than going along with the nonsense he proposed. It has long been wondered how old the pair were, some saying that they were adults, with some suggesting they were a homosexual couple, while others say that they're six or seven. If they are indeed adults, you can see why Bert would snap, but junior school pupils surely shouldn't be cursing and fighting with each other, should they? Sesame St. live performer Tyler Morgan said that he always thinks as a six year old, so whether this doctored video reflects that depends on how many six year old children you know.
