Captain Shnook and Mr. Shneeze are pirates who appear in Episode 3069 of Sesame Street. Prairie Dawn doesn't believe they're real pirates, but Mr. Shneeze tries to convince her of Captain Schnook's greatness. Shnook chooses Prairie to play the piano while they sing. She agrees to do so, but soon finds out that they don't have a ship, so Captain Shnook has Mr. Shneeze refurbish the Fix-It Shop into a shop-ship.
Later, it's revealed that Shnook and Shneeze were actually pretending to be pirates; Shnook is a used car salesman, and Shneeze is an accountant. At the end of the episode, the former pirates decide to become Russian folk dancers.
Captain Shnook and Mr. Shneeze are respective parodies of Captain Hook and Mr. Smee from the original story of Peter Pan.
