The Bert and Ernie appliance war ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

Ernie and Bert are the coolest people who have ever lived in the history of the universe. Experts agree.

Who doesn't love it when the comedic 'Sesame Street' duo has an appliance war, as they did in this rare 1969 sketch?



Uh, fellas? That's not a TV. That's a refrigerator. Bert and Ernie are watching the ice dispenser!

They must have the same power company we have around here, if they can blow a fuse with only 4 things running.

Notice how one of the Muppeteers' heads appears around :53. It pops up briefly on the right.

This sketch kind of reminds me of a couple years ago when the neighbors in my building kept having stereo wars.
