Bert and Ernie Get Sweary



My son thought this was funny for the ten seconds that I let him hear. It is very confronting to see kids television characters swear.

  1. I don't enjoy pointless sewer mouth but I do find the role reversal (from what I remember) interesting.

  2. You know, I never even knew they were gay until about four years ago. How sad is that?

    That made me laugh for a while. The last 30 seconds are the best.

  4. Did you say confronting or comforting?

  6. "I didn't even know who they were!"

    Of course, Bert and Ernie are gay partners.

    It's in the maritalness of their quarrels, their framed portrait, and (believe it or not) some of the jokes in the show.

    Some of the vintage Sesame Street dialog may express gay humor about them. If so, it is still careful and subtle indeed.
