    Hey, Does Anyone remember Berts Baby Cousin ? A Little Version Of Bert With Orange Hair. Does Anyone have pictures of him or that full legnth video clip of that skit when Bert was setting up the bathtub for him and Ernie was filling it up with too much bath toys, then Bert Says Something Like "ERNIE, MY Cousin Is NOT Going to take a bath with all those toys in there !" Then Ernie Said "okay, well if your cousin isn't going too, Then I will" Then he hops into the tub.

    Oh Man that skit was funny, I haven't seen that clip ever since I was a toddler. I just got to see that again ! :p :(

    You mean Bert's nephew, Brad? What happened was that as Bert was going to start bathing Brad, Ernie came along and was shocked to find that there weren't any toys for Brad to play with during his bath. So Ernie kept emptying his bath toys until the tub was full and Bert voiced his anger over the situation to the point that he screamed about not being able to give Brad his bath. At which point, Ernie says that he knows just what to do, jumps into the tub, and proclaims that since Bert couldn't give Brad his bath Ernie didn't want all that water to go to waste. Hope this helps and have a good night.

    Don't forget:


    Bert had a brother named Bart at one point too...

    Did Richard Hunt play Bart AND Ernestine??

    Bart was played by Frank Oz. Dont get Bart and Brad mixed up. Alot of people do. Brad is Bert's nephew. Brad i think it played by Richard Hunt/

    How could Frank play Bert and Bart at the same time?

    Performers often doubled up on voices in one sketch in the early years.

    Bert and Bart werent seen together so they werent performed at the same time. Bert went into the other room to get ready and then Bart came. I actually think its just the same puppet but different clothes.
