Classic E & B sketches
I hope some of these air in the next season...at least some of them.
The 'R' Machine
"Would You Like to Buy an 'O'?"
What time is it?
Ernie wakes up in the middle of the night, and doesn't know what time it is, so he sticks his head out the window and starts SINGING until someone yells out the time (as in, "For crying out loud, it's 3 am!")
It's Dark Out
Bert's trying to sleep and Ernie is looking out the window and trying to pursuade Bert to get up and look, too.
E- Hey Bert, it's dark out
B- Of course it's dark out, Ernie, it's night time.
E- No! But Bert! It's *reeally* dark out, like there's a blackout or
something..
This repeats until (naturally) Ernie cons Bert out of bed to come look and as Bert becomes riled up, Ernie says, "Well, G'night"
Turn down the volume (S)
Ernie is messing with the radio (demonstrating loud & soft), and Bert gets annoyed, so Ernie takes the volume knob off the radio, puts it on Bert, and turns him down.
Blown Fuse
Bert & Ernie battle by turning on more and more appliances (record player, fan, etc) on to drown out the previous one, until the fuse was blown?
Ernie dusts the shelf (R/S)
"I still think I should've taken the toys off the shelf first."
Big Shelf, little shelf (S)
Don't remember exact details, but Ernie wonders if he should put a vase on a big shelf, or a little shelf.
The Mysterious Nose Snatcher
Ernie warns Bert about "The Mysterious Nose Snatcher," and then Ernie somehow ends up with two noses.
Bowling Ball Bath (S)
Ernie takes all his belongings into the bathtub with him: his rubber duckie, his umbrella, his flashlight, his bowling ball. Bert asks him " WHY are you taking all those things into the bathtub?" Ernie: "In case it rains, there's a blackout, or someone needs to borrow my bowling ball." Of course, Bert comes into the bathroom to see Ernie in the bathtub with all this stuff ...and while he is there, it begins to rain, then there is a blackout, and then there is a knock at the door, and one of Ernie's friends asks if he can borrow Ernie's bowling ball!
Ernie meets Simon the Sound Man
Simon has car trouble and comes to Ernie & Bert's for help
"Bert's sandcastle" (S)
Ernie tells big tough guy Bert will be mad about knocking over Bert's sandcastle
WHEW......Does anybody know if any of these were on SSU ?
