About

Bertstrips is an image macro series featuring screenshots of characters from the American children’s television show Sesame Street captioned with humorous and often inappropriate descripitons in the style of Bitstrips webcomics.

Origin

The original collection of Bertstrips was submitted by Redditor BillNyeDeGrasseTyson to /r/funny on November 5th, 2013. The post gained more than 2,000 upvotes[1] prior to its archiving.

Precursor

On the Internet, Bert has been portrayed as a sinister character since as early as 1998 with the birth of Bert Is Evil, a website highlighting photographs of the Sesame Street character captioned with made-up descriptions characterizing the iconic Muppet in a nefarious light.



Spread

A subreddit dedicated to Bertstrips was created the same day as the original post was made. As of March 2015, the subreddit has over 40,000 subscribers and averages 5-10 posts per day.[2]
