It is times like these that make me doubt man's ability to survive. We are destined to destroy ourselves.

It was lame as hell when he called Elmo, "playa."

And the reason they couldn't just reuse that clip other than to whore out more Elmo footage would be what exactly?

Whatever happened to Grover & Oscar the Grouch?
I'm glad I don't have a kid to subject to Elmo's gay antics.

Elmo is basically a high-pitched rip-off of Grover. Grover was the original furry, lovable, I-talk-about-myself-in-the-third-person Sesame Street muppet and Elmo came along and stole his shtick. But as Blackout said, Grover has fucking superpowers, which makes him infinitely better.
I liked Elmo better the second time around, when he was a baby dinosaur.

When the hell did that happen? 
Also who remembers those aliens that made all the goofy noises instead of talking? That used to confuse the hell out of me as a kid.

The guy who voices Elmo also voiced The Baby on Jim Henson's Dinosaurs; he used the exact same voice.

Kevin Clash is the voice of both Elmo and Argh-Argh-I'm-Dying-You-Idiot Sinclair.
And would you be referring to the Yip-Yips?

Oh. My god. You officially just won the internet for me today. I love, love, LOVED the yips as a kid. I haven't seen them in ages though. Talk about nostalgia, man oh man. Silly as it is, the yips mooing at the phone still makes me laugh.

Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought, but the original one was way better.

I hate Elmo, but even calling him "playa" is dangerous. So now kids are going to be calling each other that. To me a "playa" or player is somebody who uses women. Congrats Sesame Street...you just created the next class of pimps and hustlers.
