Given the connotations of the word “roommate,” I’d say it’s still sadder that Bert got friendzoned.
Isn't Bert the kind of guy who says he doesn't have friends and hates Ernie even though he secretly likes him?
Bert is clearly the kind of guy who is pretty sure that Ernie is his friend, but is afraid to say it publicly on the 0.01% chance that Ernie says "we're not friends, just roommates", which would emotionally devastate Bert.
So Ernie got roommatezoned?
