God Help The 'Elmo' Sesame Street Twitter Account After Yesterday

If there was ever a doubt just how screwed up we are as a society and how anxious, angry and aggravated we are - just look at how people responded to a simple tweet from Sesame Street's Elmo yesterday on the social media platform.

"Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?" the lovable red, furry Muppet asked. A simple question, no? Elmo just wanted to say what's up on a Monday and wish everyone well.

Unfortunately for Elmo, it's 2024 and things are NOT alright for a lot of people as soon Elmo (and the social media person behind it) found out that all the Sesame Street episodes in the world aren't going to cure the underlining issues many people have. Welcome to the Thunderdome, Elmo.

ELMO GOT MORE THAN WHAT HE ASKED FOR

In a little more than 24 hours, Elmo's simple and harmless question has brought in more than 139 MILLION views with more than 40,000 replies to it. FORTY THOUSAND to Elmo!?

Don't be surprised when Elmo becomes a degenerate, uncombed furball mess of a Muppet after reading these tweets. We single-handedly ruined Elmo and gave him PTSD. He's scarred for life. He'll never walk down Sesame Street feeling any sort of joy - in fact, he's probably going to make a death metal version of that stupid song.

Do yourself a favor and read through all of these just to see how sick we are as a people. LOL.

Enjoy!

WE RUINED ELMO

And just like that, Elmo was never the same because y'all are savages.

If you're bored on your commute home or just trying to kill some time, definitely go through that Elmo thread - especially the quote reweets.

And then pray for all of us, because God knows we need it.

Also, shout out to the tens of thousands of people that literally made this meme come to life.
