- Bernie und Ert was a recurring sketch on the show created by Attik Kargar, who performed Bernie. Bernie and Ert are an obscene parody of Bert and Ernie on Sesame Street, and especially as re-dubbed on Sesamstrasse. The pair are a same-sex couple, with no nose and one eye each. Each sketch included elements such as drugs, sex, and violence. In February 2003, Bernie and Ert were dropped from the series because of legal concerns. The characters lived on and appeared in another recurring sketch called Popo Club where they wear S&M gear and go by the names Unknown No. 1 and Unknown No. 2. These versions of the characters later appeared on the German adult puppet series Eye TV – Der durchgeknallte Puppensender (Eye TV - The Crazy Puppet Channel) and two spin-off web series.
- Another sketch, Lindenstrasse Ecke Sesamstrasse, blended Sesamstrasse with the soap opera Lindenstrasse.
