Go ahead, where do I park my bicycle, huh?

I think I was in about grade four the last time I saw this. Em and I watched it while eating Goodies. I could remember having seen it long before then and it made me feel nostalgic - and curious and happy and freaked out, all at the same time. Now it makes me laugh because it's SO FUNNY!

I just read that Ernie was supposed to resemble an orange and Bert a banana. I did not know that. The interweb is a world of information.
