[otakuploader]

Stroke the A. Love the A. The A will never let you down.

[gottajiboo40]

What kind of wussies were afraid of he Yip martians? They were mine and my sisters favorite characters... Were you afraid of the Smurfs, Gummi Bears, Snorks and Muppet Babies as well?

[sumdjdude]

Canadian yip yip martians??

"Ohhhhh ehh???"

[OptimisticFlorence]

Haha, I can't believe this scared some people as kids because they were my second favorite characters when I was little!

[beatlerock100]

these were my favorite muppets when i was a small fry! Besides Elmo, of course. yip yip yip yip yip

[49mohT]

These two gave me soooo many awful nightmares... Gosh, I really don't understand why they invented these two...

[cybertronus]

@49mohT hahah indeed these scared the shit out of me when i was a child lol

[ShallowThoughts]

They were pointing at the letter "o"

[deadthelma]

unless they brought them back, the martian sketches are from the 80s

[jayorteg713]

[deaston18]

the letter A continues to cheque-tify me

[flunky70s]

I love their wiggly necks. :)

[Phyle9]

Yip-yip-yip-yip!!!!

[remieres]

if the vlogger said "we all live in a capitol A" as in America then I seriously would like to know where the rest of the world lives.

or maybe this is a jest at Canadians "eh" not "A" lol I'm Canadian and I'll let that slip if its the case.

[kevtarzan]

Yepyepyepyepyepeuepyeoyeiywoye­yepeyeoyeoe..

[Reaper421]

I REALIZE NOW WHY I SMOKED POT AND DID ACID< I SUBCONCIOUSLY HAD THESE DUDES IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD This Parents, Is what Sesame Street Brings you, COMPLETE BLISS

[hobotechMASTER]

its the letter "O"!

[fluffyratgirl]

I think it's funny that they're petting and stroking the letter A. Lol.

[toc2007rules]

they are totally jacking off that A

[transformersmaster23]

they were obviously pointing to the letter oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooo

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

probably something that began with the letter "A"..as in ACID HIT!!!!!!

[hobbit151]

they like "Pointy a's"

[TheZimReaper321]

these things used to scare me when i was little but theyre still kinda creepy.

[ZNKChannel]

No. I have a better idea. Maybe the number 16 zaped in, & THAT'S what they were pointing at & disappeared, resolving to "Yip-Yip Martians Discover the Number 16". How 'bout that?

[CaitlinBrooksMusic]

Those were the days. I was finishing first grade then.

[Slaangor]

My god, as a kid i shat my pants and had nightmares because of them :P

[katrinalynn1981]

@Slaangor my friend just visited this week & we were talking about she was terrified of them as a kid! She's glad she is not the only one! lol

[cathanson]

@Slaangor Was this a couple months ago?

[deadblood0]

@Slaangor You are not alone, my friend!

[JudyGurl]

I do love the "yip-yip martians" !!! FTW

[knor888]

my dad and i love them really if sesamy strret is we're always hoping the yip Yip guys are coming they're so funny also in dutch they have funny voices!!

X

[beangago]

they're funny ahahha

[TheMoonPower]

i wish they had cuter voices

[justin6string]

@TheMoonPower Dude, the voice is what makes them!

[AllSega]

What episode number was this from, and the entire clip that came before the opening sequence? The letters and the number of the day were A, U, and 16. All 3 seperate clips are present here, but they were all part of an opening scene which lasted at least 3 minutes, which included the theme song. A rare thing for Sesame Street in the 90's. Is the entire Martians pre-opening going to be posted on YouTube, anytime soon?

[Aremine]

me too ^^ so funny

[therandommen2]

Those things scared me as a kid and they still scare me now.

:(

[DewdInTheNewd]

Yeah I know, right?

[MidnightSakura1]

@therandommen2 They didn't scare me I just laughed at them

[snclark432]

theyre pointing at the letter "O"....in the line of the letters O is toward the back of the middle. they point all the way to O!

[capichow]

they must be Canadian aliens eh! i know i am eh!

[PyroProspectParagon]

They were probably pointing at the letter "B".

[Zellig]

@PyroProspectParagon Actually they say "OOOOOOO" so it's probably 'O'

[spawnofstardust]

I was at a psytrance festival recently and on the visuals screen they had these high definition visuals going on of this very episode mixed with psychedelic fractals, needless to say... it was fun ;)

[myownworstenemy69]

@spawnofstardust speed and sesame street work well together

[BigEasyWinger]

I wish I could have teleportation powers like the Yip Yips. That means I wouldn't have to drive anywhere. :P

[AkatsukiCrazy]

They Are pointing to the Next Skit ! <3

[BigEasyWinger]

So random. And the Yip Yips. 2 things I love at the same time. Awesome video!

[1980sVideoVault]

I remember this decidedly long pre-intro

to a Sesame Street episode that aired in

the 1993-1998 Playground era. This was

devided into 3 rarely seen parts. In fact,

the letters and number of the day were

the letters A and U, and the number 16.

The complete intro lasted 2 minutes.

Does anyone have the whole intro with

the martians teleporting to the letters A

& U and the number 16 in its entirely?

[OtherBrother09]

I still believe in the Martians.

[antsamthompson9]

Nice annotations!
