Consider the great teams that came out of there: Ernie & Bert, Kermit & Fozzie, Statler & Waldorf, Pepé & Gonzo... All steeped in the tradition of their Vaudevillian forebears. For evidence, this, the might Ernie & Bert's first appearance on Sesame Street, circa 1969.

Someone once tried to argue with me that Sesame Street aren't Muppets. They were wrong and I'm going to bed and if I wake up to any argumentative comments I'm gonna drown you in Grundy bathwater

Who tf is Solomon Grundy? Googling.... Oh. I'm gonna assume Ernie isn't referencing the super villain.

Solomon Grundy was a nursery rhyme:
Solomon Grundy,
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday.
This is the end
Of Solomon Grundy.

The villain was a resurrected corpse who woke in a swamp and only knew that he was resurrected on a Monday so he took the name Solomon Grundy after hearing the rhyme.

Yeah, I'm guessing Ernie wasn't referring to a swamp zombie. Although, they both prolly smell a bit.
