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.
