[Brettmania]

Camilla the Chicken from the Muppet Show is the chicken!

[DakariKingMykan]

@Brettmania

And I bet Gonzo could stay with her because he's a CH-icken lover

[SPARKIETHESPACESHIP]

If your kids liked this, check out "Sparkie The Spaceship."

My girlfriend is 21 and i am 28.... she just told me she never watched sesame street growing up. Never even seen it. I laughed in total disbelief and almost feel bad for her. How can that even be possible?

[katzente]

Oooooops, the smoke and the leafs there do not begin with CH.

[Exodia64]

Helmsman: Oh, Captain...

Captain: YES?!?!?!

I lol EVERY time!! :D

[katzente]

Human and chipanzee shaked hands. What a big step towards World Peace.

[Muppephile]

I can't help but think that all those times lost in space has driven the captain abit loopy, just listen to how he talks.

[ratrodscot]

I LIKE IT WHEN THEY LANDED AN THE CAPTION STUCK HIS HEAD OUT THE WINDOW AN LOOKED DOWN , LOLOL

[quizmaster85]

Cheering chairs?! "Chugga-chugga, chugga-chugga, chim-choo cha!" Now I've seen everything!

[TheDevilbuster]

At least it's not a pickle surprise...

[JantisFTW]

I'm sure a CHode turned up too.

[JantisFTW]

Surprise!

[TOMMAHN100]

Ohh I loved this bit When I was little :3

[Samoaqueen]

lol, no glass in the the windows

[jumpaholic22]

hahaha I love when the captain's voice squeaks!

[TheSolitaryPoet]

Yes but smoke (which is present the entire time) starts with S!

[ScratStitch]

Wow. Haven't seen this in a LONG time.

[unclelink]

bet nobody could say that fast 3 times! "Chunky Cheese The Chief Cheese Of Planet Ch!"

[phrawgg2]

Eve Online eat your heart out.

[TheGizmo4382]

I remember watching this when I was maybe 10 or 11. It seems just like it was yesterday. I remember singing the CHair dance.

[Smartboy8877]

@TheGizmo4382

That must have been a lot of fun!

[Lordodragonss]

LOL Darth Vader helmet ship!

[intrigid]

:48 roflmao, they stick their heads out the window!

[MetalSanke]

"Oh, captain?"

"YES?!" XD

[poikochan87]

i love the cheering chairs xD ^^

[1RichardHunt]

What I find interesting about this version is that it's theme music closely resembles the original theme to "Star Trek".

[DakariKingMykan]

It certainly does...

Of course... the only problem is... we NEVER get to hear the FULL theme here than we did in Star Trek

[omnivorous65]

It is proabably NOT an accident.

[TelephoneRock4ever]

Cute Star Trek parody! I loved it when the captain threw the sparkly confetti up in the air. "Surprise!" **throws sparkly confetti**

I especially liked the ship's first mate. Don't ask why. :-P

[gamgee87]

@TelephoneRock4ever Bet it made you want to see Spock do the cha cha cha! :-P

[Ian16545]

I'll bet this clip's guaranteed turn ANY preschooler into a Trekkie!

[DakariKingMykan]

Don't forget the Disembodied Narrator... Marty Robinson. I'll bet he and Frank also performed the chairs

[SuperSonic68]

CHildren who were raised on this show become geniuses! Sesame Street has some great concepts and is excecuted flawlessly!

and that's no surprise!

[lowprice11]

Except the fact that the children raised on this show have a 2-3 minute attention span.

[Tree1of4nerds]

@lowprice11

What do you mean???I was raised on this show and......ooooh....shiny....

[abook2008]

hhhhh so fun :D

[Tube4Christ]

Guy Smily...

[TsWade2]

He must be Guy Smiley's twin brother.

[HaloGeek454]

lol no windows in the ship

[rb2h]

better than star trek!!

[cesariojpn]

@rb2h

C'mere, gonna wash out your mouth with soap....

[brianklick]

they must crash because he stops flying the ship so he can tell his crew mate why they fly from planet to planet

[DakariKingMykan]

Ya know... I'm not even sure the Cptn is the one driving...

Those two muppets in the back were the ones pressing buttons, and if you look closely at the girl... you'll see she's wearing a headset

Still... of all the questions there's one that I doubt can be answered.

Int he opening of the ship sequence... 0:17 why the heck are the swaving back and forth like that...?

[hairyneil]

man, people'll debate anything on youtube eh?

[DakariKingMykan]

That they will...

Its a mysterious thing to happen... but it happens.

[brianklick]

O captain

YYYEEESSS?

aw Jim u always made us laugh

[cesariojpn]

Why do they always land on a tree? And why does the spaceship have no glass windows?

[DakariKingMykan]

I'm not really sure they land ON the tree...

It's possible they've landed very close to it. Or else the treetop would be crushed and burned by the ship's weight and rockets.

Boy... that crew really needs to go back to driving school.

[cesariojpn]

Ah yes, the things that didn't make you think back then that was out of the ordinary.

[DakariKingMykan]

I know right...

I always thought it was that Captian's fault that the ship would SHAKE like that.

Because every time he yelled SURPRISE and laughed around... POW! it happened.

Now I know the truth... they all FLUNKED driver's ed and CRASHED.

Ah well... the Crashes are my fav part... that and the music where the title card is.

[neoaugustus]

Planet Ch rocks.

[brianklick]

Ooohhh Captain

YYEAAAAHH?

[yothmuck]

i like how they have to jump a little every time they "ch"

[hj86]

0:26 Stoff :P

[MuppetPro]

3:14 Jim's left hand holding the rods are shown. I thought the Spaceship Surprise sketches were made in 1992. I was so SURPRISED LOL! to hear Jim's voice. This must have been from 1990 or 1989 at least.

[DakariKingMykan]

Yes it was...

Spaceship Surprised was first launched in 1989... I was present for it's first ever casting and I thought...

"What is this...?"

Whatever it was... I loved it, and I broke my VCR Rewinding it just so I could watch it over and over agian.

Ahh... Now I'm really greatful for Youtube...

I just wish Jim hadn't died so they might have made more SS eps...

[brianklick]

very true. can't imagine how many sketches in the works were canceled when he passed away. What an influence he had

[sessyman]

Does the captain remind anyone else of John Kerry?

[swidanza]

wow i remember this one from boyhood days, must have been about 5 or 6

[wheels85]

I loved this sketch as a kid!

[tamaaaaaaaaaa]

spongebob was based on that cheese

[mygirlfriendisback]

pLANET CH

[HollowSoul0]

Cheering Chairs FTW!!

[flattjeff]

Chuffing brill!!

[quizmaster85]

[randomassbass]

HAHA when the cheering chairs came out I CRAPPED MYSELF

[DakariKingMykan]

Ahh... this was the HQ one I was referring to ont he one Sawings 14 posted.

But either way I still love SPACESHIP SURPRISE.

No other Sesame Street skecthes could top it.

[flyORLI]

i am chunky cheese. LOL

[OtherBrother09]

And of course Cheetah as a Tarzan reference.

[Garrettk41]

As a kid, I thought Chunky Cheese said his name was Cheater.

I'd like to visit the planet CH. With all those chimneys, it looks almost city-like.

[OtherBrother09]

Star Trek, Pigs In Space, and other sci-fi mixed into one very funny skit. I even detect a hint of Monty Python.

[Garrettk41]

Really? Where?

[TnTtv15]

cha cha cha

[limeycakes]
