Ticke-Me Elmo X Vibrating action is so passe. The new Tickle-Me Elmo (youtube) falls on his ass, has a seizure, and then stands himself back up while making horrible grinding noises that will haunt my dreams.

They say this... thing is already selling out in stores all over North America, but it only looks good for about 15 minutes worth of entertainment. And before anyone else can do it: "This Elmo... it vibrates?"

  • THAT IS FUCKING CREEPY.
  • Umm, did anyone else think that Elmo was playing a bit of pocket pool there?
  • Yesterday, ebay had a couple of them. Only one or two had "buy it now"s of $200. Fortunately my daughter is too young to ask for one.
  • Elmo is clearly right handed. Gazing into my crystal ball I see... "piles and piles of money!"
  • Two testicles. Er...two test tickles.
  • Nunia wins!
  • Pretty sure the handwaving Elmo does is sign language for "punt me over the nearest goalpost". (I wanted to kick the damn thing, anyway. That grinding noise... gah. Reminds me of the Teddy Ruxpin my grandparents bought for my younger cousins. My brothers and I got in trouble for shoving corn chips in it's mouth as it talked. Grind, grind, grind sounded better when it was crunchy.)
  • I'm waiting for TMI Elmo, who staggers drunkenly through your living room, screaming about how he made dirty love to a large pile of Snufflelupagus's shedded fur in the alley behind Mr. Hooper's store and how the pills and the model airplane glue won't block out the voices in his head anymore.
  • In the early prototypes, he even pissed himself.
  • Fwap.
  • So. Damn. Wrong.
  • Welcome 'The Exorcist' it is possessed!
  • > My brothers and I got in trouble for shoving corn chips in it's mouth My God that is the funniest thing I've heard all day!
  • > but it only looks good for about 15 minutes worth of entertainment. per hour, yes. or maybe more. for shame all you curmudgeons! that's a fantastic looking toy and i will be happy to welcome it into my home.
  • Thank you, 606. I'll be here all week. Try the veal.
  • I'm sad that it doesn't make any giggle-induced fart noises. Not that I would know anything about that. I think I read it somewhere. On Wikipedia. Yeah. That's right. Don't look at me like that.
  • *moves chair a bit*
  • *giggles*
  • *opens window*
  • Well, hang on. Is this Tickle Me Elmo X as in Jason X or as in American History X?
  • Tickle Me Elmo X is related to Malcolm X. "Elmo didn't land on Sesame Street, Sesame Street landed on Elmo!"
  • I hate Elmo. He killed Sesame Street. He killed Grover. I hate him so muuuuuch.
  • *gives the go signal to the sniper*
  • Also, this robot sucks.
  • That's right, where's Tickle Me Oswald when you need him?
  • He's on the furry knoll, Chy. *points* I think he's eating a cookie.
  • Me just a patsy!
  • *gives Colt revolver to Fat Blue, directs him to parking garage*
  • A person could take a bat to such a thing.
  • I agree with middleclasstool. That is, by far, THE creepiest thing I have probably EVER seen... O.o
