I'll have to check out my Noggin tapes to check for CM or BDM in the skit where the monster in question says "Hi Bert".

But yes, it was Beautiful Day who said:
"Shake the crumbs, shake the crumbs. Hold Napkin.... HOLD NAPKIN!!"

This skit also had Bert say to Ernie, "Don't you think this story is just a bit farfetched, just a bit?" I'll bet a lot of kids didn't yet know what the word farfetched meant. I didn't. I was only about 3 though. :smile:

Also, remember the one where Bert puts the big letter B for Bert on the kitchen cupboards because he is tired of Ernie taking his cookies? And then Ernie opens a cupboard so the B now looks like E and he says, "E for Ernie." and starts munching on cookies. I don't remember Bert's reaction. I'm thinking possibly this could be another one where he fell over backwards.
