Well afterwards, didn't they TRY to market like a Tickle Me Ernie, Tickle Me Big Bird and Tickle Me Cookie? I seem to recall trying out a Tickle Me Cookie and being weirded out because it didn't sound or even laugh like Cookie.

I remember seeing Rock-star Ernie which I think was one of the most bizare things...Although I'd have loved if he was paired with a sleepy-time Bert to annoy.

"ALLRGIHT! YOU ASKED FOR IT! You're a WONDERFUL guy, Ernie! You took me in here, you gave me a place to live, and something to live for! I'm never gonna forget that, Ernie! You're the TOPS with me!"

Hmm...Well, I guess I couldn't quite fairly answer the Tickle-Me-Grover question, because I grew up owning a TME, and I still have it, but I know one thing I know for certain about a TMG: Mr. Johnson probably won't buy one.

Rock-star Ernie
Oooh...Me likey! :smile::flirt::wink:

Yeah they did and i was just as bewildered because again they were all Muppets you never saw being tickled...i kept wondering why they were overlooking the obvious choice with Grover.

I once had a sleepy-time Ernie that was busted, because it would randomly start snoring and singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" when he wasn't even activitated to do so.

That and I also used to have a rock-star Grover, lol. That was cool.

Ha ha- you would need an infinite amount of batteries for that. Count would be counting every tickle.
"That's one, one tickle! Ah ha ha ha!":batty:
