  • 2:45 surprise buttsecks.

    Sorry.. But its true.

  • Captain vegetable is my fucking hero!

  • but they don't have teeth to chew them...

  • im 17 and listening to this song at 2:30 am, what has my life come to.

  • lol what are you some sort of wierdo,

    nods head *yes* lol

  • I had ss music tape with this song on it.

  • Lol I can't remember watching this but my mother bought my brother and me the 20th anniversary cassette tape and it had this song on here. It brings back good memories of good songs. I wish I still had that tape.

  • This song is so awesome, it made me get a hankering for something healthy to snack on. *munches on an apple slice* Three cheers for Captian Vegetable! CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH! I think Captian Vegetable should have a partner called Fruitman. They could work together to let everyone know the importance of eating healthy foods.

  • @BeatlesAmiYumi

    And how about their female partner... "Milk Maiden"

    It's also important that you drink properly too...

  • @DakariKingMykan Yeah! That's a great idea! Captian Vegetalbe, Fruitman, and Milk Maiden! They'd make a GREAT team of healthy food themed super heroes!

  • when eddy and his spaghetti started, i could swear i was smelling some spaghetti sauce. lolz.

  • Andy: "Who are you, are you some kind of bad dream?"

    Captain Vegetable: "Do I look like a bad dream?"

    Me: "Yes, you do look like a bad dream!"

  • He gave me the creeps when I was a kid

  • worlds best jew fro

  • sometimes if someone mentions the word "weird," my (23-year-old law student) brother will just go "do i LOOK like a weirdo?"

  • I always thought as a kid that was some nasty looking candy on that kid's plate lmao

  • One thing: Spaghetti is better for you than candy.

    I would like to see the "Return of Captain Vegetable", using Billy who likes Chilli, and Sonya, who loves Lasagna.

    I also see that Eddie has a bit of an attitude. He can say that Captain Vegetable looks like a weirdo and can get away with it. lol

  • Billy: My name is Billy, I love chilli. So I eat it, whenever I can. Don't be silly, gimme some chilli. It's a perfect way to start your day, it's such a thrill to eat my fill and gobble till there's nothing on the plate. Chilli is great! But wait! What are you, some kind of psycho?

    Captain Vegetable: Do I look like a psycho? (billy nods) -- You know the rest...

  • Sonya: My name is Sonya, I love lasagna, so I eat it, whenever I can. If it's on ya, gimme lasagna. If you please, it's made with cheese, it's such a thrill to eat my fill and gobble till there's nothing on the plate. Lasagna is great. But wait!! What are you, some kind of deranged nutcase?

    Captain Vegetable: Do I look like a deranged nutcase? (Sonya nods) -- You know the rest.

  • the drugs of yesteryear.lol love this old sesame street

  • whats wrong with spaghetti ? >< ha ha

  • He kind of reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite - or ND was trying to be like Captain Vegetable.

  • You know something scary? I actually prefer this creepy stalker rabbit to John Leguizamo. XD

  • And for some reason I don't see the capn bein from jersey lol

  • What does captian vegetable have against spaghetti?

  • @thephan26 Well, it could be due to the fact that it's full of starch, so if you have it, like, all the time, it can be especially bad for your health. Still, it's better than eating candy all the time.

  • @thephan26 I guess carbs were bad even 30 years ago? :D

  • "W-h-what are you? Are you some kind of weirdo?"

    "Do I look like a weirdo?"

    (Nods -- LOL!)

  • this is song is how my parents got me to eat vegetables!

  • Mumford the Magician + Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter = Captain Vegetable

  • Eddie agrees, so do I...

  • what kind of nazi dislikes this?

  • COLONEL CLUSTERFUCK IS CAPTAIN VEGETABLE

  • I'm commenting on this shit...

  • three cheers for me "colonel cluster fuck"

  • Any new super-hero who sings a song about themselves that contains the words "Three cheers for me" is fine by me.

    I first saw this in the early 1990s and have loved it ever since.

  • Captain Vegetable stands for eating vegetables so that you dont become a vegetable.

    Whisperingly: I think that Andy was in more danger than Eddie.

  • When Henson died, his wife said in an interview that Captain Vegetable was one of his favorite characters to do.

    Do I look like a weirdo? 

    **nod nod nod**

  • HE IS  RIGHT

  • I'm scared bout him

  • Wh- what are you, some kinda weirdo?

    Do I look like a weirdo to you?

    *nods frantically*

  • Now... why couldn't you just puree or chop up celery and carrots and put them IN the spaghetti sauce? My Mom always put celery in ours. ;)

  • I always imagined Captain Vegetable starting his own justice league of healthy heroes like Meat Man, Bread Boy, and Dairy Maiden.

  • adored <3

  • Veggies are good

  • Captain Vegetable is great for battling Junk Food but, how is he in a real distaster say sving the planet form a dangerous meteor that is about o destroy the Earth. How can carrots and celery save you then

  • who the heck doesn't like this? this is awesome!

  • Performers in this sketch:

    Captain Vegetable - Jim Henson

    Andy - Jerry Nelson

    Announcer, Eddie - Richard Hunt

  • "From his secret garden somewhere in New Jersey"? Sesame Street is genius.

  • Ah, reminds me of being a kid. Being said kid, Cookie Monster was funnier for me but somehow the Captain got his message through and years later I'm singing it to my office colleagues (and trying to ignore the strange looks haha)

  • Omg! Eddie nods....Lol! But umm Eddie...dude...ur rockin a striped shirt tucked into your trousers, with A BELT,,,but ur hair is jacked up....lol wat's up wit the that man?

    (This was all way too cute, great memz. Sesame street sux big time now)

  • Loved this; remembered that thing, "Are you some kind of wierdo" "Do I look like a wierdo?" He kind of reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite in retrospect

  • 2 days ago we watched this for health class, i tried really hard not to laugh at

    "aah! w-who are you? some kind of bad dream!?" "do i look like a bad dream?" and "w-w-what are you? are you some kind of weirdo?!" "do i look like a weirdo?"

    i felt so childish to be the only one trying not to laugh. .-.

  • Who plays Eddie?

    It sounds like Frank Oz, but muppet wiki says Richard Hunt

    (the other two in this video are obviously Henson and Nelson)

  • @athull08 Eddie is in fact performed by Hunt, using a voice very similar to Lugsy from Bunny Picnic. I don't hear a single trace of Oz in that voice.

  • @Jbrangwynne53 Yeah, I can sort of hear Hunt's "Junior Gorg" in Eddie's voice

  • thanks for posting this video brings back memories of how sesame street was man i miss the old days thank you

  • I now know what my Halloween costume is for 2011!!!

  • @goonmoonsoon My girlfriend is going as Captain Vegetable and I'm going as Andy.

  • @wsegal That is SO COOL!!!! I didn't end up doing that for 2011 because I forgot about it... How did the whiskers stay on? Did people recognize who you were? I'll bet you ended up singing the song all night. :)

  • Do I look like some kind of weirdo?

  • CAPTAIN VEGETABLE!! i forgot all about this! thanks for posting

  • from a garden somewhere in new jersey!

  • Hahaha! I used to love this song when I was a kid. I often get it stuck in my head now as adult. I can't believe its on here lol. :)

  • Yes, you look like a bad dream, and Yes you look like a weirdo. LOL

    This is so amusing.

  • You're never too old for Sesame Street!

  • One of my favorite Sesame Street songs! Three cheers for Captain Vegetable! (long silence)

  • A classic rediscovered. Love it... "crunch crunch crunch" yay!! beats "Freebird" hands down lol :o)

  • Did they put red hair, bunny ears and buck teeth on the Amazing Mumford?

  • Captain Vegetable was Jim Henson, right?

  • Why did they have to turn Cookie into the Veggie monster? Couldn't they have just brought back this guy?

  • its too bad i was too young to smoke pot back then. it would've been even funnier than is now

  • hehehe playing this in orchestra '-_-

  • I like the song now but back in the day Captain Vegetable gave me the heebee jeebies!

  • What are you..some kinda weirdo?!?

    Do I look like a weirdo?

    HA!!!!

  • Waaa, I loved this song as a kid but could only remember part of it, now I can listen to it all~ yay~

  • this was  my favorite song

  • You can't have spagetti without a side of mixed Vegetables.

  • holarioso funnier the more u watch it

  • If he turn my spaghetti into celery he better run though

  • W-W-what are you, are some kinda pedophile?

    Do I LOOK like a pedophile?

    *nods almost immediately*

  • @TB4000

    Well, at least it would be a pedophile with healthy eating habits.

  • lol "Do I look like a bad dream?"

    *shrug*

  • LOL his voice, so funny to immitate ,IT IS iiii, captain vegtable XD

  • wow a fuckingg bunny are they serious =P lmaoo

  • Nice! I LOVED this bit when I was a kid. Now I've been playing this constantly with my 2 year old. He's been donning a make-shift cape and running around singing this in a baritone voice non-stop.

  • feets tickled i like that i*ll get that from alan from ciarran

  • Has anyone else noticed that the dramatic rise in childhood obesity started around the same time Sesame Street pulled this from its episodes?

  • i don't get it, so who's the bad guy here?

  • lol

  • "...but WAIT!"

  • this may just be the best song i have ever heard in my life!

    i heard it on a plane to america about 7 years ago and never what it was and i just found it and its just as good as i remember! thank you!

  • Vintage Sesame Street. Three Cheers !!!

  • This song fuckin owns! I wanna meet captain fuckin vegetable IRL MAN! he is a pimp!

  • I Think Eddy Is Sicilian...discuss

  • one of my faves. Jim Henson was a genius.

  • It appears as if they were very sarcastic about eating vegetables. As a little kid I wouldn't be convinced at all to eat vegetables after seeing this! Cpt. Vegetable is a weirdo and the music is silly... Go candy and spaghetti!

  • Captain Vegetable makes a good point.

  • W-w-what are you, some kinda bad dream?

    Do I LOOK like a bad dream?

    *shrugs*

    XD

  • This song is a curse! But it's a good curse! It gets stuck in your head as does Small World! :D Hooray for captain vegetable!

  • @Dragonenforcer15

    Better CV than that infernal Small World! At least this is fun!

  • are you some kind of weirdo?

    do i LOOK like a weirdo?

    *nods*

  • i remember this

  • Seasame Street: The best for kids, ever!

  • "What are you,some kind of weirdo?"

    "Do I look like a weirdo?"

    Then the kid shakes his head.

    Hahahahahaha! :D

  • Oh hey, that's Link Hogthrob! Oh wait, it's Captain Vegetable! I knew there was some similarity I missed as a kid XD

  • Comment removed

  • a classic. was trying to explain to the kids today how good sesame street was. are you some kind of a weirdo.lol

  • Who are you?? Some type of bad dream?? Do I LOOK like a bad dream??? hahahahahahahahahahahahh gets me everytime roflll

  • medonho

  • almost as scary as the Scary Maze game.

  • aAWESoME!

  • Favorite part - "Out of his secret garden, somewhere in New Jersey."

    ROFL! XD

  • "But... WAIT!!!"

  • what are you? some kinda weirdo? XD

  • @hadla Do I look like a weirdo!? lol

  • @hadla *feverish nod* XD

  • damn man, this has to be 15-20 years old. i remember it from when i was a kid.

  • Dang, I remember watching this when I was a kid!! That was like 25 yrs ago!!

  • This sketch is just as awesome as i remember! But here's the thing...when I first saw Donnie Darko the first thing the scary rabbit guy made me think of was Captain Vegetable (except a lot creepier.) Does anybody else see it?

  • wow ur right

  • Hmm...a few days ago I ate both spaghetti and candy. Why didn't he randomly show up and start singing? ;-)

  • rotfl

  • THE BEST!!!! This song really sticks with me...

  • Damn, I love that weirdo!

  • I LOVE this guy! "Do I LOOK like a bad dream?" XD

  • Instead of making Cookie Monster tell kids "cookies are a sometimes food" I say bring back THIS GUY!

  • @choirfreak26: Hell yes! It makes no financial or educational sense to create a veggie-loving, nutrition-teaching Muppet and use him ONCE...then abandon him, and decide to use the Ultimate Omnivore to teach sensible eating habits. (Come on, Cookie Monster has spent 40-odd years eating anything the puppeteers can break and shove into his mouth! If you were a kid hearing Cookie discuss balanced diets and the benefits of vegetables, after seeing that--would YOU believe him?)

  • My name is Eddie I like spaghetti so i eat it whenever i can. I like this kid...

  • Captain Vegetable would be the perfect Halloween costume

  • I was just thinking that too. I was wondering how many people would get it.

  • from a secret garden, somewhere in New Jersey...

  • Wow. I'm 22 and I had forgotten about him untill right now!

  • I loved this segment when I was a kid! Awesome!

  • Hilarious!! My kids love this song they keep saying "Do I look like a bad dream?"

  • This character is from like the 70s. So i don't know how old you are but he and cookie monster were around the same time. Plus he was like only a segement so he was in like a couple episodes

  • Seriously, lighten up. If you think this song's so bad, then why are you even here?

  • I personally think its fucking epic.

  • @00Blackangel99 :/ i think its fine..

  • @00Blackangel99 i mean its only for kids...

  • @00Blackangel99 Of COURSE it's corny....it's a children's song! (And one I could learn from, frankly....I need to eat more vegetables...)

  • @00Blackangel99 I love corn!!

  • I've had this song stuck in my head all week. Yay for youtube!

    "What are you, are you some kinda weirdo?"

    "Do I look like a weirdo?"

    *Nods* LOL!

  • haha I love how captain vegtable just happens to be walking by in the background when the kid is singing about candy.

    Perfect timing!

  • oh god

  • Is he actually a rabbit, or just dressed up as a rabbit???

  • I think it is a rabbit.

  • @DaveRocha

    He's a rabbit. He lives in a vegetable patch, he has big ears, whiskers, and buck-teeth. Even my father never looked so rabbit-y.

  • Dude, Captain Vegetable was my hero as a kid. I'd eat celery just to be like him. He was so beast. I wish they'd bring him back.

  • Muppet Performers:

    Captain Vegetable - Jim Henson

    Andy - Jerry Nelson

    Announcer, Eddie - Richard Hunt

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAA­AHAHAHA funnyest thing ever!!! hahahahahahahaha

  • This makes me laugh so hard my tummy hurts!!!  XD

  • What a blast from the past.

    That spaghetti looked pretty good though....

  • Wat r u, are u some kind of weirdo?

    Do i look like a weirdo?

    YES

  • its actually kinda catchy

  • i remembered alot of the song lmao

  • this is the best, I sing this all the time. Yahh childhood

  • the bunny is a bit less creepy than jon leguizamo (freak!), but... isn't tomato sauce made of tomatoes, and thus generally ranked as a source of veggie nutrients? (yes, i know tomatoes and cucumbers are fruit, and strawberries are not, etc.)

  • @libbylurker: Exactly the problem with this song! I can understand Captain Vegetable lecturing Andy about his candy habit, but he should've left Eddie alone for liking a relatively healthy food best. For Pete's sake, there's usually at least one vegetable in spaghetti sauce--sometimes more, if the recipe includes extras like mushrooms or onions. (True, none of those veggies are crunchy; and the acid in tomatoes can wear down teeth. If that was the Captain's problem, he should've said so!)

  • my hero xP

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA

  • That bunny used to creep me out when I was a kid

  • dude if I decide to go to Comic Con 2010 or OdaCon in 2010, I think I might Hafta dress up as Captain Vegetable and make sure people like Donkey Kong or Boba Fett eats their vegetables instead of fighting even Catwoman also.

  • Eddie is definitely the smarter kid identifying Capt. Vegetable as a weirdo LOL

  • Comment removed

  • he didnt even ask andy to eat the vegetables they jus magically appeared on the plate after he shoved them...lol

  • What the hell did u do with my candy?

  • Added to my Sesame Sings playlist.

  • This was my favourite segment growing up.

  • Isn't spaghetti healthy?
