Sesame Street has finally responded to age-old rumors that Bert and Ernie are gay -- claiming the infamous room-sharing man-puppet odd couple are JUST FRIENDS ... and have no sexual orientation whatsoever.


A petition emerged online this week, urging the creators of Sesame Street to marry the two puppets -- but the Sesame Workshop just posted a message on its Facebook account, writing, "Bert and Ernie are best friends."

The statement continues, "They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves."

"Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics ... they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation."

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure.

Like hell they ain't gay.....

[sadaist]

Weren't they created about the same time Oscar & Felix were being the Odd Couple? I always just assumed they were a spin off of that......with a counting purple Dracula neighbor.

[FORD]

They were actually named after characters in the Jimmy Stewart movie "It's a Wonderful Life", believe it or not.

Great, so what about these guys?

[FORD]

Yeah, you never see Lenny without Carl, so it's possible. You would think that Smithers would have picked up on it with his gaydar by now though.

Wonder if they hang out at the steel mill?

Bert pitches.

Ernie catches.

Grover jacks off the corner.

Everybody knows this.

Why deny it?

And we all know what Kermit does (see Sesh's avatar)

Guess he's into "bears"?
