Though Sesame Street released a brief statement this morning defending the educational value of the controversial episode, it seems to have done little to quell the outrage, as thousands of parents continue to express their anger at the show over social media.
“And was it really necessary to leave the corpse on public display in the street for five days? I get that it segued neatly into the bit where the Count counts to five, but couldn’t you have come up with a less disturbing reason for him to start counting?” “While I understand that extrajudicial execution is a real thing that happens in life, I’d prefer my 4-year-old not see that kind of violence,” said Susan Giles, one of the many concerned parents who complained to HBO, adding that her daughter spent the entire day after the episode aired playing mutiny with her dolls. Bert is an old soul, who prefers reading pigeon stories over anything else.
Hooper eventually comes out and tells everyone it’s time to go to bed. Ernie and Bert are two roommates that lived together in the basement of an apartment called 123 Sesame Street. In another segment, Oscar the Grouch drags the corpse into his trash can so he can keep it all for himself, but then learns about the importance of sharing and eventually forfeits the bloated body to a frenzied mob of wild-eyed Muppets, who take turns hitting and spitting on it until Mr. This initial shocking segment was followed by several others centered on the same theme, including one in which a crying Big Bird is told that he doesn’t have to be sad about someone dying if the person is a tyrannical figurehead of an oppressive system. Explaining that it’s sometimes okay to hurt a grown-up if you’re tired of living under their authoritarian rule, the duo then used a jump rope to tie their dead puppeteer to the back of a convertible they stole and proceeded to parade his bloodied corpse up and down the streets of the neighborhood, honking and shouting, “We’re in charge now! Yay!” as dozens of other Muppets gathered along the route and cheered. Parents all over America expressed outrage following yesterday’s Sesame Street episode, in which Bert and Ernie, fed up with decades of being yanked around on a human’s arm against their will, took a revolver from a cigar box beneath Gordon’s bed and ordered their longtime puppeteer to get on his knees before killing him with a single gunshot to the back of the head. Judging from the backlash, it seems the show might have crossed a line with this one. While these efforts are often applauded, the show’s latest foray into controversial subject matter has many viewers asking: Did Sesame Street go too far when it showed Bert and Ernie dragging their human puppeteer dead behind the back of their car to teach children about mutiny? Despite this, he gets along well with most everyone on Sesame Street, and also puts his best effort towards understanding people different from him.In its nearly 50 years on the air, Sesame Street has never shied away from exploring difficult topics in a way that kids can understand. His hobbies are all low-key activities like tending potted plants, and he doesn’t often joke around with others. Bert is an old soul, who prefers reading pigeon stories over anything else. As a result, Bert spends a lot of time trying to understand other peoples’ silly actions and games. Its time to learn to read, Sesame Street style Bert, Ernie, and friends are putting on a new play and some of your favorite words are the stars País. Bert is simple and quiet, which often clashes with many of the energetic, zany monsters on the block, including his active roommate Ernie. Bert’s not adventurous enough to get out there and pursue a relationship, and he doesn't seem to want one, either.Ĭhallenge… living on Sesame Street. He reads all about them and cares for his own pet pigeon, Bernice. Bert’s main interest, however, is pigeons. He’s also the president of the association of “W” lovers, and is very vocal about his love of the letter when it comes up around other tenants around Sesame Street. Interests… pigeons, bottle caps, and the letter “W." Unlike Ernie, Bert is a homebody who prefers calmer hobbies, like collecting rare bottle caps. Whatever it is, it seems to be demanding, as Bert spends a lot of time reading and doing research. Bert often cites needing to study as an excuse when Ernie tries to get him to do something adventurous, but it's unclear what exactly he's studying. Audio only of a Bert & Ernie clip I only ever saw once (recorded onto cassette in May 1983), and I only caught the last half of it.
Bert lives with his best friend and roommate Ernie. Living… in the basement apartment of 123 Sesame Street.
