Tickle Me Elmo without fur is absolutely harrowing

Tickle Me Elmo. Have you seen one? They’re glorious – all fluffy and cute and Elmo. Look:

What fun! You tickle Elmo’s stomach and he laughs! Endless fun!

I mean, in reality, it’s probably about ten minutes worth of fun – bit of a one-trick pony, old Elmo, actually. But still, the fact remains that he’s very cute and cuddly.

BUT THERE IS A NIGHTMARE WAITING AROUND THE CORNER.

Some howling mad scientist has removed all of Elmo’s fur, yet kept him alive. Some tortorous sadist in a dingy lab somewhere has skinned a poor muppet whilst he was still breathing. And then they have tickled his innards.

Seriously, this is NSFL – watch at your peril:

OH GOD, it's been etched into my skull forever. Even when I close my eyes, I can see it. I have accepted I will never sleep again.

HELP ME I DIDN'T EVEN MEAN TO DO THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING.
