Feeling Sad and like maybe you want to slap something?

Don't do it. Instead, watch the greatest Sesame Street Sketch of All Time:

The Yip Yip Martians Discover the Phone

I used to walk around saying YIP YIP YIP when I was little I loved these guys so much.

I so distinctly remember this sketch being something that made me laugh utnil I couldn't breathe. I just loved it so much, their faces! EARTHBOOK

I *love* those guys! I still "yipyip" sometimes.

OMG...I nearly peed my pants watching that just now. I was just thinking about them...I think maybe Zette used an icon with one of them on it the other day. Thanks for the laugh...I needed it today.

I think it's funnier seeing it as an adult, and how they're voices are actually so human. Book book..mm hm mm hm...earth book.

It's like watching Looney Tunes now that I'm grown up and I get more of the jokes.

How can that video NOT be rated five stars?

My favorite is when the phone rings and the sound scares the shit out of both of them. They pull their lower lips right up over their heads in a defensive move.

ION, I think I could knit one of those. I should try. Yip yip yip!

I bloody loved the Martians! People look at me strangely when I randomly burst out into their Yipping...

I still say the kids of the world these days don't know what they've missed with such a classic XD
