History Webcomic / Bertstrips

''[=Bertstrips=]'' is what happens when you take stills from ''Series/SesameStreet'' and from other [[Franchise/TheMuppets Muppet]]/[[Creator/JimHenson Henson]] productions/properties and add captions to them which turn the Muppet/Creature/[=HDPS=] characters into racist, psychopathic murderers who do horrible things [[ForTheEvulz simply because they can]]. Contrary to popular belief, many [[FanCommunityNicknames Bertstrippers]] are Muppets fans, so the strips are perfectly balanced between being a ShallowParody and an AffectionateParody.
