        They slept in the same bed without having sex, and argued all the time. Married, without a doubt.

        Of course. There was that one episode where Ernie gave Bert a cheeky rimjob but I'm pretty sure that was after a night on the charlie, so it doesn't really count.

        No smartass. It was every one, where they slept in separate beds.

        Maybe I'm weird, but as a child, I don't recall worrying about Bert & Ernie's sexual preferences.pic.twitter.com/J49O9Slvz4

        The debate "rages" they're fucking puppets... Who may, or may not be, fucking each other's seams loose... Do they even have genitalia? I know they get a fist up them on a regular basis but I don't think that necessarily determines their sexuality

        When I was a little kid watching Sesame Street I just thought Bert and Ernie were roommates and Friends. That's all. I don't think sex and sexuality enter the mind of a toddler.

        Does everything have to be sexualised- even preschool fictional characters?
