Bert, you call that planning?! ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

This is yet another of the 'Sesame Street' sketches I've been hoarding using YouTube's favorites feature...

In this skit from 1977, Bert tries to give his orange-haired infant nephew Brad a bath, but Ernie notices something is wrong...



Uh, Ernie??? The lack of bath toys isn't the biggest problem.

The far more serious issue is that I think that's a toilet, not a bathtub. Notice that it's making a flushing sound at the beginning. It looks like one of those tankless toilets schools like to buy.

"Bert! Bert! You're not gonna put the baby in a tub like that!"

"What's wrong, what is it, what is it?!"

"Uh, Bert, that giant turd I left in there last night didn't go all the way down when you flushed it!"

After Ernie clogs the porcelain receptacle with all those bath toys, Gordon and Susan must be thankful that Bert and Ernie got the basement apartment instead of the one on the top floor!
