@MarshalGrover “So, you refuse to shake hands with me, eh?” *slap*
Hahaha why is ernie thinkin of herbert all wet and sudsy?
Inasmuch as I liked a lot of Sesame Street clips which demonstrated letters, numbers, and certain ‘spatial’ concepts, this one illustrates a ‘deeper’ and ‘more philosophical’ aspect of human behavior. It illustrates what is almost a kind of bias or prejudice which is ‘built up’ based on a lot of unfound evidence, and, in fact, has been used as the theme of character development in a lot of famous literary works (sorry, but I don’t have the space to list them all here!)
What Was That Clip That Ended At 0:00 With A Vaccum Cleaner?.
@d72jjpilc exactly. jumping to false conclusions and assumptions about people.good lesson.
If I were a betting man, I’d say it was the ‘Typewriter V’ clip, where the typewriter ended up getting ‘swallowed’ by the vacuum cleaner (in keeping with the theme of this clip!)

Of course it’s fun the way Ernie does it, too, and how he gets increasing upset about it 🙂
Sounds to me like Ernie needs to find value in himself. instead of finding his value in others.
Ernie is going to borrow Herbert Birdsfoot’s vacuum, but worries about how Herbert is going to respond to him. Maybe Herbert’s taking a bath, then he’ll be so mad at Ernie for interrupting him that he won’t loan him his vaccuum, and he’ll probably come around telling everyone not to loan Ernie anything, even say how unreliable he is, and make sure no one will speak to Ernie ever again!!!
and Ernie if your Mother had a beard she’d be your Uncle….lol
@howardtheman Imagine what he fantasizes about doing with Bert.
@Dekobee You’re right, because it was taken from Episode 3374 (Season 26).
@Deanmo23
Ernie proves to have quite an imagination in this one!
@Deanmo23
If that is true, than this skit was incerted into a much later episode. I know because I remember it a lot earlier than the shows twenty-sixth year! But a lot of these skits get syndicated ten or even twenty years later.
@Vechi34 Elmo had him “disappear,” along with The Amazing Mumford and Sherlock Hemlock. Although there are rumors Mumford moved to a secret garden somewhere in New Jersey and changed his name to Captain Vegetable.
I never knew Ernie would get so angry.
This skit showed how not to jump to conclusions before you do anything. Ernie gets so angry even before he knocks on the door that he assumed Herbert was going to yell at him.
