Man did this guy hate being alone. Even when he wasn't actively antagonizing Bert, he always had SOMEBODY with him. He couldn't even take a bath without his Rubber Duckie.
His relationships with other people have always been far different than his friendship with Bert. He harasses Bert. He plays jokes on Bert. He likes to make a fool out of Bert. When it's someone else, though, he usually winds up on the defensive. He becomes the VICTIM. It's a complete role reversal.

So then what? He goes home and picks on Bert to make it up to himself? It's very curious. He never pranks anybody else. He never knocks on Oscar's garbage can and runs away. He never pours out millions of grains of sand in front of the Count and says "A-ha! Try counting THESE!" He never tugs on Super Grover's cape.

What is it with him? Does he ever do ANYTHING by himself? Read a book? He probably reads out loud. He wouldn't put down his Duckie long enough to play the saxophone. He obviously doesn't have his own room. Even his window box has friends in it.
Who is Ernie's best friend BESIDES Bert? Even if by default? He's always had kind of a funny relationship with Oscar. They get along well. Oscar never calls him names. There seems to be a mutual respect of some kind.
"Hey Ernie, way to make Bert scream! I heard it from way out here."
"Thanks Oscar, here's some trash."
