Ricky Gervais Tortures Elmo
My original thoughts for a post today involved something about the lurking new year. This, plainly, is not that post. No, this is a clip of Ricky Gervais torturing Elmo with sleep deprivation on Sesame Street. If it wasn’t so well done it might be mistaken for a C.I.A. training video, something like “Human Intelligence for Kids!” I’m not sure what Mr. Gervais is trying to get from Elmo, but whatever it is, it is of vital importance. That, or he’s a bit miffed that Elmo didn’t know who he was.

I suspect that Elmo had it coming, as I personally have been tormented by his various incarnations for years now, and I can’t help but think that so have many other folks.

Adorable. I love Ricky and Elmo as a team. I have watched their joint interview too many times to count.
I have always loved Sesame Street’s use of Celebs. Funny, out there stuff.
The BBC network Cbeebies has a similar phenomenon called “Bedtime Stories” where a small army of really fine ass celebs read to children. David Tennant, Marc Warren, John Barrowman, Richard Armitage and John Simms amongst them.

[…] Ricky Gervais tortures Elmo. Sesame Street sure has changed since I was a kid! (Or maybe not, because I don’t actually remember a lot of it.) […]

“Elmo doesn’t care if you’re a celebrity or not…”
“Right, but know I am a celebrity.”
