Ernie & Bert Show
From Muppet Wiki
"Ernie & Bert Show'" is a recurring segment on Sesamstrasse, debuting on October 7, 2007.
In these unique German skits, Ernie (puppeteered and voiced by Martin Paas) and Bert (Carsten Haffke) appear in a game show, with Bert as host and Ernie as contestant.
Also featured is the human reporter Norbert Neugier (played by German comedian Otto Waalkes) who supplies the questions, such as "What has long ears and can hop?" or "What do you have on your head that grows and has to be cut?" Much to Bert's chagrin, Ernie frequently goes through elaborate measures to find the correct answer.
Thirteen segments have been produced for use in the 2007 Sesamstrasse season.
| Picture | Episode | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | | The question is "What has an engine and can drive?" Ernie consults Rubber Duckie for advice. He then brings in his bathtub, claiming that is the answer. When Bert claims that that is the wrong answer, he goes on to prove that his bath tub has an engine and can drive. |
 | | The question is "What has feathers and can fly?" Ernie first replies it is a pillow since it has feathers. His second answer is an Indian, but Bert tells him even though Indians have feathers on their head they can't fly. Ernie disagrees with him, so he hands Bert his Indian headdress and two sets of balloons which eventually lift Bert off his feet. |
 | | The question is "What swims in the water that you can catch with a rod?" Ernie finds a rod and wants to test what he can catch with it. First he catches a telephone. During his second attempt he catches one of the studio lights, and it falls down on Bert. While Ernie tries a third time, Bert tells him that the correct answer is a fish. However, Ernie disagrees as usual since his experiment brought different results. On his third attempt Ernie catches Rubber Duckie, and since it swims in the water, that would have to be the correct answer. |
