What did Mr. Greenjeans on the old Captain Kangaroo show say to make the ping pong balls fall?

Answer 1

Actually it was Mr. Moose who would tell some joke and when the Capt. would say a certain word,Mr. Rabbitt would make the ping pong balls fall hitting Capt Kangaroo on the head. Most times it was Mr. Moose and Mr. Rabbitt trying to con some carrots out of him.

Answer 2

I remember that one thing that would prompt it would be to open the closet that had everything you could never possibly think of shoved into one little closet. You would hear the clatter of pots and pans, and moose and bunny rabbit totally freaking out as Cap was inside trying to find something, and ping pong balls falling inside the closet. Then Cap would fall on the ping pong balls. Other times, moose would be joking with Captain and the ping pong balls would just start falling. I totally loved that show as a kid.

Answer 3

It was Mr Moose that made the Ping Pong balls fall. He would tell a knock knock joke or a riddle and the punch line would be balls, ping pong balls, or something like that and they'd fall hitting the Captain in the head and Mr Moose would laugh at him
