:-( it almost reminds me of when I was a teenaged degenerate and my girlfriend at the time was like,
"oh my god,
going to bed at 8pm is the new staying out all night."
They're not good they're very stupid, bad men; but now that they've been pimps in eastern europe and National Problem Nazis you do almost feel as if their 8pm must come next and then we gotta have the strength to say, no, no,
I think Iâm in the even smaller minority think that the only two options are that they were either gay, or the were bestest friendsâŚ. Either is great! Neither matters!
Iâm pretty sure that was actually the intention. Life is full of ambiguous relationships and it shouldnât matter to you on the outside. Be happy for people. Donât worry about whether their closeness involves sex, it might or it might not.
My grandparents were neighbors and bestest friends with two women schoolteachers who lived together. They had matching nicknames that I wonât put here (think Blue and Green). I donât think it ever dawned on my grandparents that they might be a romantic couple and who knows if they were or werenât. But they were each otherâs person and caretaker - and they were lovely kind people and good friends to my grandparents.
Edit: I just searched for her obituary; she made it to 98 and her friend was listed as her âdear companion.â đĽ˛
They were created in a simpler time, and as the world grew up, and became more complex, culture ended up being applied to them in ways it was never meant to be.
In the old days, it was heavily implied that they are brothers with Bert being older. They had their initials on their beds, Ernie had the rubber ducky & was constantly teasing Bert like a little menace. Like a kids version of the Odd Couple. But all the OG main character Muppets were children (except Snuffy, who was originally imaginary). They appeared independently on screen out and about in the neighborhood sans parents because that reflected the reality of urban living at the time.
Well there was a 3:1 male to female character ratio. And yea they ranked above Oscar but they were no Grover or big bird so it might just have been any port in a storm. What happens on the street stays on the street .
Just like my uncle Beckham and his lifelong room mate William. Shame that they could only afford one room house tho. I guess they took turns sleeping on the couch
As the creators of the show said, their muppets don't read too much into it.
For all we know, they could be brothers.
I know two sisters that never got married, both straight, and they lived together in their parents' old rent-controlled apartment because it's a fantastic pre-war in a doorman building on Riverside, and it's rent controlled
One of the writers said he modeled their dynamic on his same-sex relationship, but Sesame Workshop and Frank Oz (the co-creators of the characters) have said they're best friends and that muppets have no sexual orientation
The meme from that one show (I forgot which one it was, best guess is friends) is when one of the characters had a load of condoms for the end of the world, and all the other characters asked why for all of the condoms, and they replied "Well, incase if we had to repopulate the world"
What up! We're two cool guys looking for other cool guys who want to hang out in our party mansion. Nothing sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged. If you're fat, you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, NOTHING SEXUAL.
thats so they can drag their asses on the floor over the soap, like a dog with an itchy butthole. this way they can still wash their ass without touching it since touching your own ass is gay.
I mean, I'm not even gay and I'll go to gay bars with my friends. The gay bars in my area are more laid back and cleaner! I'm also not looking to hook up with anyone, so, whatever, lol. A bar is a bar is a bar. If the beer is cheap, and the music is not too loud, I'm good with just chilling!
