I recall this one quite well.

(2) It takes place in their apartment

(3) It's pretty good. Another great example of classic Ernie and Bert.

(4) The ending music was the same used in quite a bit of skits, including non Ernie and Berts, such as the skit where Cookie Monster rings the bell at the carnival and wins a cookie.

(1) Bert is holding a cookie in his hand and is happily about to enjoy eating it. Ernie comes along and asks Bert if he will share it with him. Bert refuses. Ernie persists in trying to persuade Bert and even physically holds his arm to prevent Bert from taking a bite! Ernie says, "If it was my cookie, I'd share it with you." Bert says, "No, you wouldn't." Ernie then takes the cookie from Bert. Bert gets mad and demands it back but Ernie says, "Wait Bert let me show you. Pretend this is my cookie. Now you ask me if I'll share it with you."
Bert thinks this is silly and wants the cookie back, but Ernie persists so Bert finally complies and says, "Ernie, will you share that cookie with me?"
Ernie then says, "Why of course,Bert." He breaks it in half, hands Bert one half, and then eats the other. He walks away, and Bert stands there dumbstruck and says, "I don't get it". The end music is playing at this point. But the skit isn't quite done yet! As soon as the music ends, Ernie then reappears on the screen and says, "Hey Bert will you share that half cookie with me?" Bert then gives out a HUGE exasperated scream! It makes Ernie put his hand over his mouth (Kind of like he realizes he went a little too far with his ol' buddy Bert this time!)

Dantecat, I have a question for you and I'm not being mean at all. Iv'e seen some people on here say some mean things to you. But I'm just asking an honest question. Did you not watch Sesame Street when you were a little kid, but got into the show more when you got older and by the time you got into it they had already either changed the format or were pretty close to having it changed? I ask this because many of the skits you ask about you should have saw when you were growing up, cause a lot of them were on during your era still. Also instead of asking questions the same way you do over and over again, why don't you just start out like "Hello everyone, how's everyone's day going? I have a question about an Ernie and Bert skit that was done in 1972 and it was when Ernie Convinced Bert to share his Cookie. I would like to know more about this skit, and would appreciate any info from you guys who have seen this skit in the past. Thank you for your time. Also Dantecat, you shouldn't ask questions how is it? and if there's ending music how does it go? Because everybody has their own opinions on exactly how good or bad certain skits are and why they like/dislike them. Also you can't exactly describe ending music from skits over the internet. I mean there's no words therefore you can't type how the sound goes. Like I said I'm not being mean. It's just a suggestion on how you will get better and more positive responses from your posts.

Yes,I definately saw the show when I was little but the reason why I'm asking a whole lot of muppet skits is because there's a whole lot of them I've never seen before and they seem really interesting.If I already know them that I always never need to ask at all.By the way,Fat Blue straightened this out perfectly.http:forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=18230

But you know I'm definately good. :wink:
