Yip, Yip, Yip, Uh huh... - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I work in an open concept office and this afternoon the Graphic Artist was on the phone with a printer going over some details. His side of the conversation consisted entirely of "Yep. Yep. Uh huh. Uh huh. Yep. Yep. Yep.

Overhearing this I started parroting him and soon the entire office was chiming in like those classic aliens from Sesame Street. It was a great moment in what is usually a morose office.

How could I not spread the joy with you guys?

I love that bit. I still have an ancient cell phone, but once I upgrade, I already have the mp3's of this skit ready to use as ringtones.

Favorite Sesame Street moment EVER.

That whole Yep. Yep. Uh huh. Uh huh. Yep. Yep. Yep. is exactly how some of our Ottawa Valley relatives speak except it's more:

Yep. Yep. Oh Yep. Yep.

It cracks us up all the time and is a regular parody around our dinner table.

*gasps* Oh man, I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath when they did that thing where they pull their bottom lip over their head. ^_^
I would give my left hand for a puppet of those aliens, and it looks like it would be pretty easy to make. Anyone know where a pattern could be found?
