I Can’t Hear You, There’s a Banana in My Meme

Man.  When Muppet fans enter a contest, they enter a contest!

A couple weeks ago, we put out a call for entries asking you to make a meme centered around Bert and/or Ernie.  Five of our favorites will win free copies of the new book “The Importance of Being Ernie (and Bert)”.  Everyone who entered will get a free, rare Sesame Street pin!  You can’t lose!

We were pleased to receive over 60 entries!  That’s a LOT of pins!  And a whole lot of memes.  I didn’t even know there were 60 memes.

So without further ado, here are our five lucky winners:

by Avrumi Weinberger

by Casey Daron

by Connor Burke

by Gabriel Gatica

Let’s give those five talented folks a hand!  (It’s your choice if the hand is live or rod.)  Choosing the winners was particularly difficult since there were so many amazing entries, so here are just a few of our assorted runner-up favorites:

by Cameron Garrity

by Chris “Smig” Smigliano

by Emily Quick

by Eric Pahl

by Erica Crooks

by Gavin Borchardt

by Harry Emas

by Jerry Harney

by Lucas Ross

by Noel Schornhorst

Now let’s give THOSE Muppet fans a hand!  Did I mention how impressed I was by everyone’s creativity and hard work?  Because I totally am.

Below, you’ll find the rest of the contest entries.  These were all fantastic too, but much like Ma and Emmet Otter five minutes before their movie ended, they were just missing, well, something a little special.
