Wrong. As anyone who saw the one and only movie knws\*, Flesh Gordon had the **Penisaurus**

\*Sequel? What sequel? They never made a sequel. Uh-uh! And if they did, it would be rated X. Not R. Definitely X.

Elmo has Mr. Noodle  
Grover has his cute furry monster  
Ernie, alas, has to make do with a _rubber_ duckie

They made a sequel? It could only be awful. The original is campy and just barely not porn. I have no doubt the sequel would be solid porn, and probably is only vaguely associated with the original.

Interesting. It looks positively awful, but awful in a way that I might actually watch. It’s not straight up porn, but it sounds mostly like really bad sex/poo jokes and boobs. I think it goes on my Netflix list.
