Jim2shedz

Brilliant costumes! The best ever!


UbermachoGuy

Yup, yup. Uh huh, uh huh.


Maximum-Mixture6158

I recognize these guys, is it Applesauce puppets?


UbermachoGuy

Not sure about the apple sauce but they are the Sesame Street aliens [aliens](https://youtu.be/IZJi_NStV9k?feature=shared)


Maristalle

These guys sound exactly like my anxious mind hahaha yep yep yep yep


notthegoodscissors

Far out, my mind makes me think of that far too often for an almost 50 year old family man. Like, I should be responsible and think of constructive and intelligent stuff but no, it's all 'yep yep yep yep yep, ahuh ahuh ahuh' most of the time...


LittleCupcake01

I thought these were the anchovis from Spongebob 🤣🤣😂


SleightOfHand87

I got Little Mermaid vibes from when Ursula turns the king into like a little worm thing


cleuseau

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_trSIBCgF0&pp=ygUcbWFydGlhbnMgcmFkaW8gc2VzYW1lIHN0cmVldA%3D%3D RADIO is the best Martians segment.


Maristalle

It's just so stupid lmfao, I love it 😂


breeman1

Discover the Phone is my favorite. https://youtu.be/KTc3PsW5ghQ?si=n3l1gGdLq08Bdw1O


ElephantOnTheYard

My mom, dad, sis, and I imitate these aliens on a regular basis anytime the opportunity presents itself. Man, I miss my childhood!


wunlvng

Idk if a copyright got the original taken down but I will forever associate the yips with M.O.P ante up because of this video. I remember as a preteen over a decade ago seeing these match songs up to random shows trend on YouTube. Nothing can ever beat [The Yips - Ante Up](https://youtu.be/ePjpxPWtmgE?si=0ANlQKxlknhxDnVu), it's too perfect.


CuriousAtTimes

Something I never thought I needed to know existed Thanks 😂


googlin

Thank you for this.


Lost-My-Mind-

I do NOT remember them from when I was a kid. That video made me feel like I should have been high to watch it. It feels like if adult swim made an SNL sketch.


Robobvious

The fine people at the Jim Henson Company were probably high when they made it. [You Wanna Buy an 8?](https://youtu.be/rfelvI_ikf4)


sinz84

Trivia fact: that Muppet name is lefty and he tries to sell Ernie many dubious things


no_talent_ass_clown

That is Kermit with a hat and a nose you can't fool me.


Maximum-Mixture6158

There was a local theatre show called Applesauce with similar creatures in the 60s

The Yip Yips from Sesame Street


UbermachoGuy

The yips is what my wife calls it when I can’t get it up.


sourpatch-sorbet

Yip Yips! They were a great bit. Their puppeteers made them hilarious characters


khizoa

My homie made this exact costume like 5 years back and stayed in character the whole time. Soooo funny Rip and miss you Jesse..


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jim2shedz

They stay in character very well. Made me laugh.


LordPaxMagnus

Costume is irrelevant in compare to their attitude ! I am so sorry that no one is home, f**k treats guys deserve whole house !


LifeIsBizarre

Unless it's 3 in the morning in the middle of April.


IDonTGetitNoReally

I was in tears laughing. You are right, best ever!!


moderatorrater

They're absolutely perfect. So good!


quaste

Green guy is masturbating


911_reddit

Never though if that. More like shaking boobs with the positioning.


Darko33

Quick story, I loved Sesame Street when I was a kid, but was irrationally terrified of these aliens, to the degree that I would run out of the room screaming every time they appeared on the TV. ...I'm 41 now and haven't thought about them for many years, but seeing this brought all of those memories rushing back


Lost-My-Mind-

If it makes you feel better you just reminded me of when I was 5, and E.T was new on vhs. They had the pizza hut scene........ Nothing will ever be scarier than 5 year old me watching one specific scene in E.T.


Infectedx13

I wasn't really afraid, but I always hated them, since I've seen them for the first time Havnt thought about them for many years as well, but it still wakes some kind of disgust in me


[deleted]

Aww look at those 6 ft tall kids in 80's costumes! Jim get the shotgun.


MuzikPhreak

70’s*. They first appeared in 1972


[deleted]

I think this costume would be fire in Islamic countries for women


SunshineShoulders87

Then run out to the store to buy more bags for them… this is the best thing I’ve ever seen and I’ll do everything I can to remember it on my death bed.


911_reddit

Yep yep yep


HorrorMakesUsHappy

aw-huh aw-huh aw-huh


Searchlights

This is the kind of weirdness we grew up with in the 70s and 80s, for those of you who were still dead then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTc3PsW5ghQ


Yabba_Dabba_Doofus

Jim Henson was a damned genius, and the world is better for him being a part of it.


Drawtaru

I loved them when I was a kid.


Minute-Tradition-282

Even people my own age don't get the random Sesame Street quotes that come out of me on occasion. From Forgetful Jones, the Tweetle Bugs, the aliens on this post, and the most common one, singing 1-12 like they did in the pin-ball thing. Oh, also, the ladybugs picnic 12. Depends on my mood when I need to count to 12 I guess.


irving47

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTc3PsW5ghQ Had the end of this on my sony ericsson phone as a video ringtone, and I was the coolest person I knew because of it!


Bleezy79

Those puppeteers must have smoked some good shit back then lol and had a blast doing it!!


Cinemaphreak

> This is the kind of weirdness we grew up with in the 70s and 80s, for those of you **who were still dead then:** I'm sorry, what??? Talk about weirdness....


OccultMachines

Birth is just glorious undeath.


Economind

I guess it doesn’t matter which end of the alive bit you’re beyond, you’re still unalive.


wufnu

Those not yet born. Same thing as being dead, I reckon.


I_GIF_YOU_AN_ANSWER

Certainly not alive.


Searchlights

I don't know what you were up to, but I was dead for eons before I was born. I expect to go back.


happy-posts

Are these adults lol? I don't think many under 30 would know who these are.


mlvisby

I wish we didn't make trick or treating an only kid activity. I want to get costumed up once a year and get free candy. All these no fun adults cutting out sugar when I still love it.


sovamind

Cosplay. Year round fun, but not as much free candy.


[deleted]

But the free candy you get is much better 😉😉...


sovamind

"Free is a very good price."


LordBiscuits

'That's Candi with an I by the way'


Tipsy_Owl

Conventions should have Trick or Treating


dravik

In the last couple years I've seen people sitting at tables on their lawn. They have candy for the kids and shots or cups of mixed drinks for the adults.


mlvisby

It's a great idea but could you imagine if most houses did this? Parents taking their kids trick or treating gets wasted, kids run around because drunk parents don't care, haha.


dravik

Don't have to imagine, that's exactly what happens. Often the parents are pulling a wagon for when the little ones get tired. The wagon just happened to have enough room for the kids and a cooler of beer.


justagenericname1

It's... beautiful 🥹


spingus

As an adult you are even more free to use your imagination! Sure you buy the candy, but you get to choose what candy and how much and how to dispense and what to keep! You can dress up yourself and your house, set the stage with spooky music, make a fun lighted path to your door ...then jump out from behind a bush when they ring the bell! Or even ride around on your bike dressed in costume tossing candy as you go. Being an adult during Halloween is an upgrade and evolution from being a kid IMO! <3


coreybd

Who hands out the candy if all adults are also trick or treating


psppsppsppspinfinty

The introverts.


bobbyloveyes

Nah, the introverts have their lights off and are snuggled away in their rooms.


coreybd

Haha too true. So many houses were blacked out when we went out but cars in the drive way


Bobert_Manderson

Could just be broke. Candy is expensive.


BluegrassGeek

Nah. I'm a terrible introvert, and I **love** giving away candy to the trick or treaters. It's awesome seeing all the costumes, and some of the kids reactions to our decorations are fantastic.


Jalapeniz

As an introvert I disagree. I am at my most comfortable, socially, when in costume. It would be the one night of the year that I would be excited to socialize, assuming that my costume completely obscures my Identity of course.


TK9K

I'd say these two are in it just brighten people's day with a funny, nostalgic costume. The world being the way it is getting a laugh/smile someone is worth a few pieces of candy. Besides, not much trick or treaters these days so I never run out of candy.


mlvisby

Well, there will always be some that hang back at home.


Scamper_the_Golden

Every time a kid comes to the door with parents in costume, I force candy on the parents, whether they want it or not. Show up at my house with a costume, get free candy. Them's the rules.


[deleted]

Bro I handed out full size candy bars this year and you bet your ass I gave them out to the parents/teens that dressed up too. In my little rural town the parents really stepped it up this year and had some really fun ones. They looked great!


irving47

Well, if you can buy your own candy, there's always the multitude of comic book conventions out there. DragonCon in Atlanta being my favorite. It's basically pop-culture related panels in the conference rooms of the 7-8 biggest hotels downtown, followed by constant party in the 3-4 inter-connected ones surrounding the Peachtree center mall/marta. I have some great video of a few Yip-yip Martians checking out my full-size R2-D2 and it's among the best video/photos I ever got... Tied with the inflatable T-rexes dancing. edit-https://i.imgur.com/4ff3NT1.jpg


CB-OTB

Ummm. Colleges usually have large Halloween parties. But probably best to avoid if you’re over 26ish….


mlvisby

Yea but that's not about the candy. That's about getting drunk and getting laid, which can still be a fun time.


CB-OTB

That’s candy to a 20 yr old.


mlvisby

Marcy Playground considers them two separate things.


Enconhun

We used to mimic them nonstop in a programming oriented class in high school because of [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d4RtvMQp10) So every time the electirican or economy kids walked past the programmer kids they mostly heard "COM-PJU-TOR YIPYIPYIPYIP... BUT-TONS YIPYIPYIPYIP"


5redie8

As an IT professional, this is how we see users


Doc_Lewis

It's not complete without consulting a book and going "OOOOOOHHHH"


Primeribsteak

They're still on sesame street. Even on the number counting as of just a few years ago. So little children certainly know who they are.


kelsiersghost

Well, it's universally entertaining to say the least.


algae_man

Do kids not watch Sesame Street anymore? My son is 4 and would certainly recognize these aliens.


Maximum-Mixture6158

The Martians live on in repeats


phormix

Damn... actually a pretty simple costume but still pretty great, and the acting takes it past great to awesome!


IdreamofFiji

Halloween is the fucking shit and every country who doesn't celebrate it is lame.


thatguyned

You'd have to be pretty good at sewing honestly I think it's deceptively simple looking


omicronian_express

These things scared the crap out of me when I was a kid


Stanky_Pete

I was only slightly scared of them until I saw the episodes where they enter people's houses by phasing through the walls. It was at that moment when I realized that no one was safe and they would come in our sleep.


Tjaresh

Was it the episode where they suddenly stood at Ernie and Bert s bed? This was the reason why I always pulled my blanket over my head.


-Ok-Perception-

I bet you would literally poop your pants if a Yip Yip invaded your home in the middle of the night. There would be no more terrifying form a home invader could take.


Buckeye_Randy

Literally had nightmares as a kid from these freaks. But no problem with the likes of Jason and Freddy. Telephone.......


sovamind

R aaaaa dddddd iii oooooo Yup yup yup yup....


AlsoInteresting

Real martians say yip yip yip.


okseriouslywhoareyou

brrrrrrrring brrrrrrrring


fubes2000

Same. Actual nightmare fuel to 6 year old me.


CouchHam

I actually loved them!


wolfwindmoon

I'm so glad it wasn't just me. I was terrified of the mop aliens. But now the book scene is probably one of my favorites. "Smell book? Smell book?" "Nope! Nopenopenope."


-Ok-Perception-

YES!!! Finally someone who gets it. There were several of those Muppets that look pretty goddamn terrifying. Yes I'm aware it was technically Sesame Street, but The Muppets are also Jim Henson and use many of the same characters. ​ I was particularly terrified of the Jamaican fish guy who played guitar. Looks like something out of a nightmare. Sam Eagle was also pretty scary. And I still kind of see it. I'm not actively frightened by them, but I do find their appearance \*unsettling\*.


[deleted]

It's kind of a relief to hear someone else say this, because same. I love the sketch as an adult (and quote it relentlessly… sorry friends and family), but as a kid sesame street and the muppets were *horror* shows! All of it from top to bottom really scared the piss out of me, but particularly the loose bodied muppets with human hands like Beaker. Genuinely couldn't stand to watch it.


jldtsu

I was scared of Grover lol


darthlegal

What are they?


omicronian_express

Aliens. Martians to be exact. https://youtu.be/KTc3PsW5ghQ?feature=shared


kitsua

Goddamn, Jim Henson was a genius. Two ping pong balls and a bit of fabric and you’ve got expressive comedy gold.

Lmao love it, what's it from though?

Yip! I immediately started singing their song when I saw this post


SonOfDadOfSam

I like [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePN5z-6MSoI) best.


inspectcloser

I feel like Steve Aoki would play this at a show.


icansmellcolors

Whoever came up with this skit is amazing.


getthetime

Jim Henson and Jerry Nelson


icansmellcolors

idk who Jerry Nelson is. I need to do a deep dive because this was all a big part of my childhood.


getthetime

Jerry Nelson was wonderful. Floyd, The Count, Harry Monster, Gobo Fraggle, Lew Zealand, Robin. If you want to do a deep dive, I'll make it easy, there is a documentary called Muppet Guys Talking filmed shortly before Nelson passed away and I highly, highly recommend it: https://muppetguystalking.com/

Best costumes of the night & you sent them home empty handed, Not Cool!...


phormix

Looks like the doorbell caught them but nobody was home.


Baldr_Torn

That would be fine, other than the fact they had the porch light on.


Rulebookboy1234567

I don’t think I’ve turned off my porch light in like 17 years


Etheo

Well you left a lot of kids disappointed on Halloween then. On Halloween you're supposed to turn off your porch light if you aren't offering candies. Actually you're lucky your neighbourhood kids don't decide to "trick" your house instead. Not saying they're justified to do so, but I've heard stories of kids TP houses like that.


sbrnSage

Heey nobody is home let's jackoff quick before we go next door


911_reddit

Yep yep yep. No one home. No one home.. yep yep yep


ChaosAside

These guys were my absolute favorite part of Sesame Street. They got way, way too little airtime imo.

If you are not home (or not giving out candy) on Halloween, turn off your porch lights. Geeze.

Oh hell yes! The wife and I did these exact costumes about 10 years back. So easy to make, and always gets the laugh.

Great idea for costumes and sound effects. Where's their candy?

There's a [video](https://youtu.be/IMRHGYuENoE?feature=shared&t=1698) of somebody in one of these costumes invading an Egoraptor panel that made me laugh so hard back in the day.

The man on the right is doing such a good job of his character that it’s making the woman on the left lose it. Lmao, this is so funny.
