The original Tickle-Me-Elmo was creepy enough. The newest Tickle-Me-Elmo is downright disturbing.

[http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8968326093647118174&q=tickle+me+elmo&pr=goog-sl&hl=en](http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8968326093647118174&q=tickle+me+elmo&pr=goog-sl&hl=en)

A mere touch and he sets off upon a minute-long fit of decidedly masturbatory hand movement combined with some head jogs that give a rather distinct impression of auto-felation. Elmo even insists that you become party to this disgusting conniption by kissing him.

Dear god, will _somebody_ please think of the children!

I don’t know that I get auto-fellatio from that, but it’s definitely disturbing in the handjob domain.

Who, in Ford’s sweet name, thought that this was a good idea? It’s almost as bad as the super-soakers that sprayed a white goo that was absolutely, positively in no way similar to semen.

I guess I am the only one who thinks it’s cute and funny and does not associate it with sex.

He looks like he is batting someone who is tickling him hands’ away and doubling over in laughter.

Has it been a long time since you all were tickled? One of my best friends is the funniest person to tickle, so I tickle him often. He reacts quite like Elmo.

Baby, that ain’t tickling.

No, I don’t know, someone suggested a sexual interpretation to me and I found it absolutely hilarious combined with the over the top starting point of the toy.

Oh, you’re one of THOSE people! Evil, cruel, sadist!😃 Believe me, your friend does not think it’s funny when you tickle him! But I agree…I didn’t see the connection to self-gratification here.

I actually thought Elmo was pretty funny. They did a great job of making that little toy look like something that’s just busting a gut laughing. It would be hilarious at parties. I’ll bet kids just love it. They’ll laugh themselves silly.

And I didn’t get any sexual overtones from that at all. To me, the worst interpretation I could make is that Elmo is laughing so hard he’s trying not to pee himself. Little kids often grab themselves down there as they’re heading breakneck for the bathroom.

You guys are sick, twisted, and perverted.

Besides, you haven’t seen ‘Dirty Sanchez’ Bert.

I think it’s hilarious. I want to set off a couple dozen of 'em in the same room. Makes me wish I had a little kid to buy it for!

We had the original Tickle Me Elmo and the bouncing Tigger from several years ago. Adults could make that pair do very naughty things.

My daughter is only 10 months old, but already squeals with delight every time she sees Elmo. I know she’d think this was the greatest thing in the world, but like all her other toys, the fascination would last about a day.

Not exactly worth 40 bucks when she gets equal joy out of empty ketchup bottles.

And to the OP, nope, I see nothing sexual there.
