Does anybody remember some game show called "bring that thing" where it started with Guy Smiley tried to enter through curtains and finally enters angrily like Kermit? It also had the yip-yip aliens as guest contestants and Guy was hit by a spaceship and then I think the audience laughed at him where he was seriously injured and after that he was trapped in a spaceship. I think I remember seeing this sometime in seasons 21 or 22. Remember???

I remember that sketch from 1988. The Yip-Yips brought the moon and the price was the jar with moonbeams.

The aliens had to bring 3 things that help you see in the dark. First they brought a flashlight, then a lamp, and then they went in their spaceship and brough the actual moon. And their prize was a jar of fireflies.

What bothered me about this skit was it should've been called, Beat the Time, instead of Bring that Thing. Because that's how that show was excatly played like.

You were right mikealan. It was called Bring That Thing. But for some reason, the writers wanted to call it that instead of Beat the Time.
