Ah, another classic. Very fine.

I love that my brain reads this in Bert’s voice.

okay but they’ve got the characters backwards. Ernie is the one who keeps Bert awake annoying Bert with talking. Bert is the one that wants to be quiet and sleep.

Different but makes me think of the Ante Up version.

Bernie is the ultimate lifeform fusion of Ernie and Bert but he still never leaves the house so the world powers are safe for now.
