01-16/Tickle Me Elmo, please

Good news to all you Sesame Street Fans, "Elmo Makes Music" is coming to Madison Square Garden's WaMu Theater in February. Thanks to their super promo, I'm sure there are plenty of parents excited to take their kids to see these big headed freaks.

(John Giannone is interviewing Rangers Captain Chris Drury and said,
"As tbe man with the C, you have the opportunity to talk to the refs....." ok back to Elmo..)

I like to try to find comedy in anything, but this one is tough. Watching all of those freaks doing moves that resemble a workout video really makes me uncomfortable. I think that the creepiest part of all of that is that their big headed costume faces don't change. What if a creepy guy who slipped past the background check is dressed up like Elmo and starts doing inappropriate things on stage to scare the kids?

For example, If Elmo starts acting out of character and pushes Bert down and starts humping him, undoubtedly the actor playing Bert will have some not nice comments. Sadly the kids won't hear his comments to Elmo expressing his displeasure, but rather just a dumb happy face with raised eyebrows looking back at Elmo indicating that he likes what is going on.

A masturbating Cookie Monster might even keep me up at night, after momentarily feeling intrigued and sexy.**

If I was an actor that hated my job at least you could have a little fun under the costume. Let's say the show is going normal, and some stupid music is playing for the actors to do their choreographed stretching and jumping jack motions. At least under the dumb happy face helmet the actors could express themselves with comments like,

"Fuck its hot in here"
"Yeah you dummies like me dancing around like a schmuck?"
"Look at that MILF in the third row. I see you staring at Big Bird's beak.."
"That dumb kid is not even paying attention. Look at me you dumb shit!"

All the while dancing dancing dancing, jazz hands (Big stupid jazz hands), dancing dancing dancing around in a circle.
