Bert and Ernie share the same bedroom, but each have their own beds with their first initials carved into the headboards. They have a night stand between them, often with a lamp on it.

From Quiz: Sunny Days on "Sesame Street"
Answer: eats the excessive amount
There are two famous skits showing this:
The time they are to have a lunch of, specifically, "cheese, sausage, anchovy, and pepperoni pizza" and a glass of grape juice, but Ernie clearly had more of each than Bert, so he solved it by eating and drinking his portion until he had less, then he started eating and drinking Bert's portion until Bert walked away disgusted.
The other time was similar. Ernie and Bert were to have an afternoon snack of cherries, of which Ernie had each portion on either end of a balance scale. But rather than move the excess cherries over to the other side, he kept eating the cherries until they were down to just one each, at this point Bert screamed and fainted, so Ernie just assumed he wasn't hungry and ate the last two.

Answer: Mr. Hooper
Poor Mr. Hooper. Big Bird honestly tried to be polite, but could never get his name right. More often than not, he called the bald, glasses-wearing gentleman "Mr. Looper", but there was some variation.
In 1976, the Mr. Hooper character received his GED (episode #871), and when the lady reading the names got to him, she said, "Mr. Harold Cooper".

The three relatives Bert often spoke of or we saw were as follows:
His twin brother Bart, who had a very opposite personality to Bert, as shown when he came to visit Bert and Ernie in one skit.
His nephew Brad (presumably Bart's son) who was over at the house and Bert was about to give a bath to when Ernie chastised him for not having any bath toys, then proceeded to put too many toys in the bathtub.
His Aunt Matilda, whom has never been seen, but Bert is often speaking of for various things, like what to get for her birthday or when Ernie opened a present that was hers thinking it was for him.
