Sesame Street: Martians Discover a Book

[b00giZm]

With now 32 years old I finally realize that those martians I watched at the age of 5 were just two plush vaginas with eyeballs.

So much things in my life now finally make sense...

[craziestladyaround]

How about being 46 and thinking it is cute? My mom would not allow my brother and I to watch sesame street when we were kids so I watch it now.

[sw33tsapphir3]

Lol they remind me of these intellectually disabled twins I used to look after when I worked as a carer ;) so cute!!

[b017ni3]

@chibimaker21 - you think being older than 16, and still watching this, is a big deal? I'd be willing to bet that the majority of people watching yip-yip clips are well into their 30's...they are still so ridiculously funny!

[chibimaker21]

0:47 made me laugh so hard!

Thumbs up if you're over 16 and still watching this.

[DalmatinacIDwaPole]

This is how to study for a university exam.

[RenaRoo123]

omg this brings me back lol! after i seen thses guys and some one asked me a yes/no question i would answer like them xD

[TheClimberPopo]

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

[89Benek]

face liked creeper from minecraft :p

[chocochippy123]

yipyipyipyip

[chocochippy123]

I'm a grown human being, yet I still go out of my way to watch this

[fluffymcduff1]

Oh look it's reddit

[boonaga911]

EAT BOOK, EAT BOOK, *Om nomnomnom omnom* NOOOOOOOOOO NOOOPE

[VidN00b]

this was me entering university, I didnt pick up as fast as these martians though..

[parksman1978]

Thumbs up if your'e baked while watching this!

[parksman1978]

Is it me or is it awesome watchin these martians when your baked?

[Denmarkpwns]

matt marcou

[MithranArkanere]

When I was a kid I only watched Sesame Street for these two.

[Natulcien1992]

You think that they would know how to handle a book if they carry one around the whole time

[Jaclyn1978]

They should know what a book is for! In all the previous skits they would look up information in their "Earth book."

[SecretTimeWarp]

What happened to the blue guy? His voice is wrong, and he's cross eyed!

[xdragonladyx]

@SecretTimeWarp, Judging by the quality of the film, this looks like one of the newer videos. Since Jim Henson did the voice of the blue one I'm sure it sounds a little different with someone else doing it.

[kylejjaustin]

feast on human beings yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip none will survive yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip

[knightni73]

Are they "Yip"ping the William Tell Overture there at the end?

[PapagenoJuan2]

[pieguyfry22]

eat book....om.......boooooooooooo­oooooooo nope. nopenopenopenpenopenopenope

[turkzrul619]

Bok means shit in turkish so this i sjust the best thing ever for me.

[idontgiveaflyingtoss]

@turkzrul619 It is not Bok. It is Book. Don't be a big Bok.

[Morveyn]

I don't understand how anyone can possibly dislike this. Two people clearly have no souls. D:

[ChickCelineCS]

I had a nightmare about this, when i was really little

[scaperune32]

1:40 the fear in there eyes lol =3

[CapitanBluebeard]

wonder what would happen if they found an Ipod and they push the button on and Justin Bieber started playing and they would be like NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE !! lol

[IanFree0007]

Well, I'm having nightmares tonight and I'm 20...

[DJdesolace]

1:59 "Weeeeeeeeeeeeed ,yip. Weeeeeeeeeedbook! yipyipyipyip". xD

[chaserthewolf]

I'm sorry, but these guys used to freak me out when I was a kid.

But now I find them to be funny.

[bulletooth316]

These things gave me nightmares when I was a kid.

[be4tbybl4ck]

hahahaha look at em read!!

[Kristen70364]

I actually find this funnier now then I did when I was a kid.

[myancov]

this is one of the "newer" martian skits... funny, but not as good as the originals

[LiteracyLabyrinth]

Is this before they use thier own book?

[BigEasyWinger]

I tried eating a book after watching this...

Didn't work.

[MrMortenMoeller]

Eat Book ? NOPE NOPE

Smell Book ? NOPE NOPE

Hear Book ? NOPE NOPE

Read Book ? YUP YUP, Yeaaarp Yeaarp !!!

[ez45]

But they have books! The Earth book in the first ones!

[sksb]

@ez45 plot holes.

[MRE131805]

No, Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope!

[cheapassassin]

SUPPORT PUBLIC BROADCASTING! Share this with everyone and tell them to contact their representative and say that you don't want to see it taken away.

[kevin54353]

OMG DEFENSE MODE!!! -puts chin above top of head-

[jubmaster13]

why did it take them so long, they have their own book, we see it sometimes!

[Bacillus4]

@jubmaster13 maybe they got their own book after discovering this one...or they devised their own.

[Sonicfreak866]

lol they're scared of a book!

XD

[CaptainMoko]

Yep yep yeeeeeeeeeep~♫

[TheLukeisfat]

THE MIGHTY BOOK OF YEP

[mcbloomin]

@TheLukeisfat LOL!

[RicShaw315]

nope

[graceinmay]

the indigenous Martian lexicon is limited to a core of three words, each with a minimum of 31,000 possible meanings, based upon tone, vocal inflexion, and context.

Yip

Nope

Uh-Huh

Martian-English dictionary forthcoming. :)

[Bacillus4]

@graceinmay Facts just in...! New information just in that may rewrite all known knowledge of Martian language! A new word in the Martian language has been discovered!

What...

[graceinmay]

@Bacillus4 Cute!

[idontgiveaflyingtoss]

@graceinmay

LISTEN CAREFULLY.  It is YEP, not yip.

[graceinmay]

@idontgiveaflyingtoss :)

[TheNajort]

@graceinmay

You forgot "GOOM"

[graceinmay]

@TheNajort Lol! Yes, and "Goom!"

[killweb2]

@graceinmay you forgot GOOM which has 1 meaning: Hide!

[graceinmay]

@killweb2 Hey, that is a good translation!

[ChainAlgorithm0]

@graceinmay

This is grossly incorrect. The majority of diction is transferred in ultrasonic frequencies.

[HealthyShadeOfGreen]

I thought they said "Mel Brooks"

[TheHanaKatsumi]

~tries to eat book~

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooohhh­hh!

Nope nope nope nope nope.

XD

[dibstah]

@TheHanaKatsumi I know ROFL! XD My favorite part!

[BatmanSucksMyBanana]

2 ppl don't know what a book is

[grauekatze]

Two people who disliked this never had a childhood.

[norgeskuespiller19]

This is highly entertaining! lolz We are most amused.

[xanderbj]

It reminds me of my little brother

[wickedfeylady]

It did look delicious. I wonder if it smelled as good as it tasted.

[EliteDoomer]

@wickedfeylady lol

[FilmmakeroftheFuture]

Some books do have a nice smell (the really old ones), but to hear a book you need an audio book.

[hurley3000gt]

I wonder what Carl Sagan thought of this when he saw it.

[Nagneto]

@hurley3000gt : He probably said...OOOOOOOOHH. YEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEP­YEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEP­YEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEPYEP

[EliteDoomer]

@hurley3000gt He is the one that sold Sesame Street the script.

[TheCrasher92]

[EL3minutero]

ROFLMAO.....I LOVE the Yip Martians. They are the cutest muppets.

[chestbeard]

WTF? They carry a book with them in the other one, and it has English words instead of yips....

[sashathepanda]

[CARPSPUDPICKER]

[YumeYasuu]

[CaitlinBrooksMusic]

RRRREEEEEEEEEEEAD book!

[battybuddy]

LOL. Their reading of the book was hilarious. When I was young I always wished I could meet these aliens and teach them a few things.

I'd probably scare them now. XD

[vampireprincess4ev]

I love those martians! YEA SO WHAT!?

[LittleWolfkina]

i love how they hide behind their lips when they get scared

[TheMoonPower]

yipyipyipyipyipyipyipyipyipUHU­HUHUH

[TheAlmostGod888]

[TheMoonPower]

@TheAlmostGod888 cool

[BigEasyWinger]

I wish I had teleportation powers like the Yip Yips. This means I wouldn't have to drive to go out to eat, work, or have a few drinks, and I could drink a lot and get home safely! :P

[battybuddy]

@BigEasyWinger Friends don't let friends drink and teliport. XD Yipyipyipyip.

[BigEasyWinger]

@battybuddy Hehe good call, could teleport to the wrong city accidentally. :P

[Tree1of4nerds]

poor martians....I'd hate to think these were their best and brightest....

[ratedrsuperstar81]

Eat book....yum yum yum yum yum yum.

[fashionluva07]

LMAO! i'm like sixteen, and i found this one my friend's blog.

[BigEasyWinger]

I'm nearly 30 I find this stuff still hilarious. :P

There is no age limit to enjoy Sesame Street!

[quilter3]

I hope not. I'm 46 and it still cracks me up. My kids are 21 and 26 and both in the US military and they still love it too.

[mygreatlovenova]

I'm 39 in may and still find this hilarious LOL

[caribeano15]

@BigEasyWinger nope

[radiowavesusa]

@BigEasyWinger Nothing wrong with that. I am nearing 39, and I still love these guys.

[LornaEGL]

[noexistanz]

@BigEasyWinger I do too, I'm 31 and I still say YIP YIP YIP YIP haha...NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE 

[AngryRaptor]

@BigEasyWinger (age 23) I completely agree. Cartoons just aren't as good as they were. It's disheartening. :\

[bmazz76]

Yepyepyepyepyep!

Hear book... these guys were way ahead of their time :-)

[dougiewhite778]

I love it when they start panniking

[klamouche]

1:31 - 1:34

[0gravitykid0]

THOSE GUYS ARE THE REASONS I HAD NIGH MARES AS A KID i mean look at them! so messed up

[cptmrgn318]

I did too! They were the scariest and funniest characters at the same time.

[666charizard]

they're the reason I stole shovels from the convenience store yesterday

[MidnightSakura1]

@0gravitykid0 They're just funny...why were people scared of them I don't get it?!

[BigEasyWinger]

RRRRRRRRRRRREAAAAAAAAD!!!

[captainbo]

Surely kids got the idea of what a book is from the first episode, when these guys turn up...and one of them is reading the book...

[wickedfeylady]

EAT BOOK. YUMYUYMYUYYUYMYUM...nope. SMELL BOOK (how exactly are they doing that? they've got noses?) Nope. HEAR BOOK. OHHHHH-nope. OHHHHH. WORDSWORDSWORDS. RRRREADD. I love the OHHHHH sound they make when they're suprised or they think they understand something

[zythepsarian]

[Magnak]

These guy remind me of high people. When potheads get so blazed that they think they are something else, and then they venture out and start freaking out in awe at the simplest of things. I love these dudes.

[Aeropostle224]

YIP YIP YIP UH HUH UH HUH LOL

[mdoyle1523]

[Cremean]

I love it when they hide behind their lower jaws. These guys and Cookie Monster are my favorite Muppets ever.

[TheBrookeRadical]

[crazy8sdrums]

Some of you might think they are stupid or dull, but you are WRONG! They figure it out, dude!!! They are on an alien planet and they recognize this stuff! Maybe they don't have books on thier planet and OH! What a shame that would be.

[RaptorZefier]

Crazy8sdrums, I don't think it's stupid or dull, but I gotta say. . . In every other skit they're USING a book from their home planet to find out what things are aren't they?

[TheMoonPower]

@crazy8sdrums dont they have the earth book?

[autech64]

@crazy8sdrums Of course they have books! They had a book in the episode they discovered earth....

[BAMitsKailyn]

@crazy8sdrums yipyipyipyipyipyipyip

[Blueninja33]

@crazy8sdrums But they do, they consult a book all the time in every other sketch.

[arijanian]

@Blueninja33

Perhaps this is a prequel?  A flashback, to how they were introduced to books in the first place? : )

[TitusYorick]

@crazy8sdrums Okay, I'll give you the fact that they're awesome, but why go bashing books all of a sudden? What have books ever done to you?

[BigEasyWinger]

1:50 - Words. YIP YIP YIP YIP YIP. :P

[ladyislingering]

0:04 = the blue martian. Looks. Retarded. :D

[MetalSanke]

1:31

Nope nope nope nope nope nope GOOOOOOM!!!!

[sashathepanda]

@Shurryy hehe! theyre so cute!

[igotbragginrites]

I love that the blue Martian goes "yum yum yum yum yum yum yum" before eating the book.

[BigEasyWinger]

Also, I wish I had teleporting powers like the Yip Yips. This means I don't have to drive anywhere and won't have to rush to work or the grocery store or whatever. :P

[tommenquar]

yep yep yep yep yep yepyepyepyep uuuh huh uuuh huh

[BigEasyWinger]

Shouldn't they have known that books can't be eaten given that they have Earth Book that they usually refer to? :P

Yip Yips are awesome!

[chibiwitch55]

YIP YIP YIP YIP YIP YIP YIP!!!!!!!

8D these adorable aliens make me laugh

[broombroommop]

[katzente]

[THEGLASSOFMILK2]

[CreepyTom]

The blue one's my favourite.

[FlamestrixWindfyre]

where are their noses and ears?!?! I mean, did you ever stop to think!!!

But, serious, the martians rule BIG time!!!

YEPYEPYEP

[MaxaminusOne]

According to an necropsy conducted by the FAS systems exobiology research and resources division and Harvard in November 1998, Yip Yip's antennae contain olfactory receptor neurons for chemo-reception. This was verified with a electroencephalogram. Whether or not they perceive this as odor like we do is unknown.

They have no external ears but the roots of cellial vellus hairs that cover the dermis seem to be similar to innervate cochlear inner hair. In other words, they hear with their fur.

[PepperPhoenix]

That is probably the most random, and yet hilarious thing i've seen all week.

[cadelbovo]

This one understood those martians and read a book! ;p

[Crossroadsinc]

@MaxaminusOne Do oyu have any more physiology material on the race know as "YipYips" ?

[TheGizmo4382]

@MaxaminusOne You do realize that they are sock puppets and some guy is controlling them right?

[needstoregister]

@MaxaminusOne Oohhhhhh!
