Ernie and Bert are a pair of Muppet characters on the PBS television series Sesame Street. They appear together in numerous skits, forming a comic duo that is one of the centerpieces of the program. A typical Bert and Ernie skit has Ernie coming up with a hare-brained idea and Bert trying to talk him out of it, ending with Bert losing his temper and Ernie remaining unaware of the results of his own bad idea. As Sesame Street regulars, they have appeared in most of the Christmas specials spun off from the program.

There is a long-standing rumor that the characters were named after Ernie the taxi driver and Bert the cop on It's a Wonderful Life; however, most sources from the Jim Henson Company have stated it to be a coincidence.
