To me, Dirty Ernie = Little Johnny.
The first joke I remember:
So, a teacher tells her students to go home and learn the first four letters of the alphabet. So the kid goes home and asks his mom, who’s on the phone, “What’s the first letter of the alphabet?” and the mom replies, “Shutup!”
He asks his sister, listening to music with her headphones, “Yeah, yeah yeah!”
Brother, playing video games, “nu nu nuh nun nu nun BATMAN!”
Dad, taking out the trash, “In the garbage, in the garbage!”
So the next day the kid goes to school, and the teacher asks him what the first letter of the alphabet is. “Shutup”
“Young man, do you want to go to the principal’s office?”
“Yeah, yeah yeah.”
So he gets to the principals, and the principal says “Young man, who do you think you are?”
“Nu nu nuh nun nu nun BATMAN!”
“I’m going to have to go to your house and talk to your parents! Where do you live?”
“In the garbage, in the garbage!”
