Tickle Me Elmo is Back
For those of you who haven’t seen this yet, it’s hilarious. The newest Tickle Me Elmo, I guessed called Elmo TMX, just went on sale and is already sold out. Maybe I haven’t been following the right news outlets but I wasn’t aware the there was going to be another one in time for this years holiday season. I’m bummed I missed it because retail on these little guys is $40, and after you watch the video you’ll think $40 is a steal for the entertainment value.
By the way the video is in the upper right video block, or if you’re reading this later check out my Archived Videos Section.
Also of note is that it’s the 10th anniversary of Tickle Me Elmo. Yeah that’s right, Tickle Me Elmo has been around for 10 years! To think, it’s been that long since we saw news clips of mothers crawling over each other, smacking one another with their purses and doing whatever else it took to get their child the greatest gift since the radio flyer. And all that one did was laugh a little bit when you touched it.
This new “Elmo TMX,” does everything but tickle you back. It says more, rolls around, slaps it’s knee, stands itself up, slaps the floor, and asks for more. This thing is crazy right now. Going price on eBay seems to start around $70. I’m very tempted to get one but I’m unsure how long the amusement would last.
