An example of an Ernie and Bert skit is the popular "banana in my ear" joke:
- Ernie: Hi, Bert!
- Bert: Hey, Ernie, you know that you have a banana in your ear?
- Ernie: What was that, Bert?
- Bert: (more loudly) I said, you have a banana in your ear, Ernie. Bananas are food. They are to eat, not to put in your ear!
- Ernie: What did you say, Bert?
- Bert: (shouting) WOULD YOU JUST TAKE THAT BANANA OUT OF YOUR EAR?!
- Ernie: I'm sorry, you'll have to speak a little louder, Bert! I can't hear you; I have a banana in my ear!
Comic genius.
Some of my favorite bits where of Ernie and his rubber duckie. I just loved the rubber duckie song as I'm sure you did as well. Sing with me now:
Rubber Duckie you’re the one,
You make bathtime lots of fun,
Rubber Duckie I'm awfully fond of you
Vo-vo-dee-o!......
Ahh, the good old days. In the spirit of Ernie and his rubber duckie, I had to get a rubber duckie to finish off my party favor bag. And of course they couldn't be just any rubber duckie, they had to follow the theme of the baby shower - animal/safari.
Is this not the cutest thing you have ever seen? The people at the Oriental Trading Company have it going on I tell ya. I had a hard time selecting my favorite one.
I mean could you pick a favorite?
They are all just so adorable and rubber duckie like. I will admit to you (but don't tell any one) I almost kept them ALL! I didn't feel like other people would appreciate them as much I would. Hopefully they all found good homes.
I hope this series inspired you to give awesome party favors at your next party.
