Is he supposed to be like a babysitter?
They used to make this joke where whenever Ernie would try to quiet down c00n/Shaq/Kenny or bring order to the show they would play the SFX sound of a whip being cracked. IE: him being their slave master.
They stopped doing that shyt. Figure they didn't want people calling them out for it on social media and making a fuss.
Ya'll know Charles and Shaq prolly like that shyt.
