Bert

Is Bert not awesome? He gets overshadowed by the larger-than-life persona of his buddy Ernie, but I have to love him. Poor long-suffering Bert likes order, pigeons and bottle caps. He never gets any of the glory, but I think that's part of the reason I like him so much.

Bert's not on Sesame Street anymore. They recast Ernie, but Bert's not around. You can only see him in old videos, vintage episodes of the show, and (of course) on YouTube.
