caveman Ernie and Sherlock sketches

[minor muppetz]

Has anybody noticed that in the sketches where Ernie and Sherlock Hemlock portray cavemen, Ernie seems to be a bit more aggressive as usual? Normally he seems really friendly, but in these he's a bit meaner?

In the skit where Sherlock invents paper, after it's invented and the paper flies away, Ernie seems to criticise/ insult him, asking what he's gonna do about that, and after Sherlock accidently drops a rock on Ernie's foot, starts chasing him (I guess other people would do the same).

And in the sketch where Ernie has Sherlcok invent a toothbrush, after a few failed attempts, Ernie threatens him: "Listen up, Royal Smart Person. I'm gonna give you one last chance, or else you'll be the Royal Kicked Out person!" I guess cave people didn't have any cocnept that it takes time and practice to get something right.

Why is it such a big deal that Ernie's a different person that he's a different person and Ernie The King?


And what makes you think cave people were like how they were prtrayed in this skit?
