Yip-yipsThe Yip-Yips are interplanetary visitors, presumed to be from the planet Mars, that used to be terrified by things like clocks, telephones and computers on Sesame Street. In their skits, these creatures, with squid-like tentacles, large eyes, and antennae, materialize into a room and say, "Yip-yip-yip-yip... Uh-huh. Uh-huh," in monotone voices. They often come across common objects and, curious as to their names and functions, the Yip-Yips will consult a book presumably containing information about things on Earth. In one skit, for example, the Yip-Yips call a computer a television and a typewriter before deciding what it actually is. They are "yip-yipped" by multiple muppeteers including Jim Henson, Frank Oz and Martin P. Robinson. Interestingly, on Plaza Ssamo, the Spanish language version of Sesame Street, the Yip-Yips say, "Yip-yip-yip-yip... Baja. Baja." Baja means "short."
