Ernie Triggers Bert's Vietnam Flashbacks

Ernie enjoys finding new ways to trigger Bert's Vietnam flashbacks.

Ernie plays a trumpet in bed while Bert looks distressed. The joke is that Ernie deliberately triggers Bert’s supposed Vietnam flashbacks with loud, unexpected noises, parodying the stereotype of war veterans being startled by sounds. It is used as a reaction to someone knowingly annoying or provoking another person. EN: Ernie plays a trumpet in bed while Bert looks distressed.
