Talking Farmer Ernie

Talking Farmer Ernie is a Sesame Street plush toy produced by Tyco in 1997. The plush Ernie is dressed as a farmer in a red-patterned shirt, blue overalls and work boots. When his belly is pressed, he sings "Old MacDonald". A different version pictured in Tyco's 1999 catalog changed Ernie's shirt to a cowhide print; this version was apparently never produced.

The toy was part of Tyco's Playtime Pals Assortment; the other toys in the line were Yum Yum Cookie Monster, Talking Alphabet Elmo and Playtime Big Bird.
