# 'Sesame Street' Style 'Tickle Me Ernie' Romper by Devani Weaver Is Asking for Trouble By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-03-26 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ernie-romper References: [craftastrophe.net](http://craftastrophe.net/2010/03/rubber-duckie-included/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42176355) I thought Elmo was the one with the tickle fetish, but [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etsy-1) seller Devani Weaver has extended the invitation to Ernie, of Bert and Ernie. The Tickle Me Ernie Romper features the [Sesame Street regular](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-and-sesame-street) in an unusual pose. The Tickle Me Ernie Romper is a bizarre mix of a [childhood character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sesame-workshop) and a rather adult clothing design. The result? I have no idea where you're supposed to wear this, but you'll get attention wherever you do decide to go. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Childhood Characters Apparel:** Creating clothing designs featuring childhood characters in unexpected ways. - **Bridging Adult and Childhood Products:** Innovating to create products that bridge adult and childhood elements to appeal to niche markets. - **Novelty Fashion:** Designing and selling fashion that draws attention through its novelty, humor, and unique concepts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Companies can explore products that mix reality and fantasy elements to create niche and innovative fashion products. - **Toy Industry:** Toy companies can collaborate with apparel companies to combine both industries and create unique products that appeal to adults. - **E-commerce Industry:** Entrepreneurs can explore their creativity by developing unexpected product designs and market them on online platforms like Etsy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful Puppet Baby Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-preferred.md) - [Cartoon-Themed Shoe Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-x-sesame-street.md) - [Kid-Friendly Cartoon Bedding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklinen-1.md) - [Collectible Character Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arr-x-kaws-sesame-street.md) - [Collaboration Kids Show Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kith-x-sesame-street-collection.md) - [Pickle Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giggle-pickles.md) - [Animated Turtle Clothing Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheins-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles.md) - [Spooky Infant Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-bello-and-beetlejuice.md) - [Personalized Puppet Video Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashup-video-ecard.md)
