AI Elmo: Impressive. But will he do the laundry?
Ok, you should probably just go down to Toy’s R Us and get in line now because Elmo is back and he’s officially a bad ass. Fisher Price introduced the hyper life-like Elmo Live at Toy Fair 2008 and he is fierce! Forget about TMX Elmo and shoe tyin’ Elmo and chicken suit wearin’ Elmo and pizza makin’ Elmo and hokey pokey doin’ Elmo; they are O-V-E-R over. The new Elmo, Elmo Live is basically like that bear from the movie AI, (you know, the one who dredges up all of your childhood abandonment fears in that forest scene) but without the un-cute voice that sounds like your college philosophy professor. Elmo Live tells jokes (he’ll be here all week, try the halibut), crosses his legs, and expresses himself with eerily human gestures and nuances and he’s coming to toy store shelves this holiday season. Get. In. Line.
Here’s that bear, Teddy. Awwwwwwwwwwwww.
What’s really creepy in this video is the guy in the lab coat doing his best Cookie Monster voice while he gets Elmo to show off his new skills.
and creepy too
