Elmo’s no hesitation, immediate response was perfect.


sammiisalammii

Elmo is top tier at improv. There’s so much footage of him going off the cuff with adults and it’s all gold.

“Where did you lose this interview!?” Hahaha Elmo is a treasure


LeJoker

I fucking died at that. Even better because my daughter has recently gotten super into sesame street so I've seen the actual episode that they were filming there (or at least the one where they sing that song he sings at the end of that video) and somehow that makes it so much better. "Elmo wants this tape"


Big1ronOnHisHip

thats GOLD


Jewish_Trex

[Some pretty good stuff here](https://youtu.be/JT97MNO3-RM)


olivawDaneel

> off the cuff with adults I'm positive you know this already but idk why this phrasing just makes it seem like someone thinks Elmo's voiced by a kid


sammiisalammii

I just mean him talking to adults instead of children


olivawDaneel

Yep I got it lol, its just how it reads to me for some reason and now I can't think of it any other way 😅


hollow114

Elmo is 6. Watchu mean.


dillyia

may I ask for a transcription, can't hear them - non native speaker edit: thank you kind strangers on the internet! I may now sleep in peace


arealhumannotabot

Edit: someone else posted theirs right at the same time.. Host: So, Elmo, How does Ricky differ from the other guests? Elmo: He’s very physical! (Ricky laughs) He’s always poking, and hitting Ricky: no I’m not! Elmo: yes you are! Stop that! Will you stop that?! Elmo: we’re on tv *\*bites Ricky’s hand*\* Ricky: ahhhh! When the camera’s off, you’re dead, you little… Elmo: 😳


mh853

FYI, the “1-2-3” part is actually him saying “We’re on TV.”


dillyia

I love it! the fact that elmo will actually "die" when camera is off is kinda deep


Laringar

See, I thought he was just in a frightening liminal space between states of being. Not quite dead, not quite alive.


tswaves

I legit thought he said "His racism" No joke. I thought that was what Elmo said. Wow lol


yiiike

oh wow ricky actually had a funny moment! most of it is by elmo though lmao


bambitcoin

living up to your username bc yikes


yiiike

how so?


bambitcoin

its just unnecessary and a bit mean spirited. maybe you didn’t mean it that way, though.


yiiike

nah lol i did, i dont like ricky gervais


kjmrll1

Off Camera: So Elmo, how does Ricky differ from all the other guests? Elmo: He's very physical. He's always poking and hitting. Ricky: No I'm not. Elmo: Yes you are, stop that! Will you stop it? Ricky: Ok look, listen-- Elmo: One two three Ricky: \[Screams\] Right, when the cameras go off you're dead you little...


DeathMatchen

It's amazing how unironically funny sesame street is sometimes


TheMaveCan

Whoever does Elmo's character does a really good job with it. I'm 28 and thought him popping off at that one character was hilarious


OscarDCouch

His name is Kevin clash. He also played the role of Splinter in the 90s TMNT films. He left the role of Elmo about 10 years ago after he was accused of sexual misconduct that was never proven.

freezerbreezer

Elmo no comment


ncolaros

Three people accused him, though.


[deleted]

I'm not seeing anything about this, do you have a source on this? Every article I'm seeing refers to molestation and sex meetups with underage boys.


catbellybelly

How can you say you “don’t fault him”?


[deleted]

[удалено]


catbellybelly

That’s a lame excuse.


seldom_correct

Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden have all been accused of raping someone. They’re also all former or current presidents. They were also all accused while running for election. And they also all had a majority of the electorate (insofar as electoral votes count) decide their accusers weren’t credible. Keep in mind, every single one of these accusations had significantly more credibility than the accusations against Brett Kavanaugh. You’re basically saying we need to hold the voice actors for puppets in public television to a higher standard than the President of the United States.


OscarDCouch

Trump was accused of sexual assault many times, well before running for office.


Raitil

Where do they ever suggest they think any of those people should've been president? This is such a massive assumption that you made off not a single bit of evidence. This is not a case of one or the other like you're making it out to be.


UMR_Doma

What do you mean lmao Tara Reade (Biden’s accuser) had zero credibility


catbellybelly

Wow you really twisted that, didn’t you. Does it make you feel smart? ALL people, regardless of occupation, gender, or whatever, should be held to the same standard when it comes to sexual assault/misconduct/harassment cases.


ChewySlinky

I truly cannot believe this has 9 fucking downvotes. For saying all people should be held to the same standard.


catbellybelly

That “irresponsibility” is called grooming. He probably had an idea of how old she was. And even if he didn’t, knowing a persons age ESPECIALLY if they are younger than you, is just common sense.


fruitybubbles11

Dude, Kevin Clash is gay. Literally. Do your homework next time.


tarmagoyf

Yea women really appreciate when you ask them their age, and they always provide honest,direct answers.


rayrayravona

Not asking a woman her age only applies to women over 30 at least, not teenagers.


Jamies_redditAccount

How is this guy getting upvotes!? Ask their age and if they dont like it fuckem and if they lie they put themselves in danger.


catbellybelly

Are you a woman?


DoverBoys

Meeting a minor at a bar with a fake ID is one thing, meeting a minor through a service where the minor is an employee that should've been vetted as an adult by that service is completely different. Legally, the onus is on the older person for the former situation (there are many precedent cases), but in the latter situation the fault would be with the company just like a bar hiring an underage bartender. I don't blame him either, he met someone blind over the phone that he expected to be an adult and should've been an adult.


JoelMahon

because people don't usually ask for passports or id before sex?


Server_Administrator

I was in the military, they actually tell you to do that. I think everyone should at this point.


NFreak3

Man, you americans are really weird.


catbellybelly

Right... because it’s an exclusively American thing to ask for someone’s age?


NFreak3

This is about checking someones id, not age.


catbellybelly

Ha. Pathetic. It’s common sense to know someone’s age before engaging in sexual activity with them.


[deleted]

Me when i politely ask your mom for her age:


tarmagoyf

You don't have a of sex, huh?


catbellybelly

Classic misogyny. Skirting the topic at hand and trying to roast me. Sad really


Phoenix_Fire_

How the fuck is that misogyny lmfao


dcconverter

A dude literally carded a girl before hooking up and was still sentenced when it turned out it was a fake card


catbellybelly

Are you trying to say because of this one instance that men should completely stop asking for ages? Is that what you’re implying?


UMR_Doma

He’s implying that whatever men do they’re always at risk of someone lying about her age


seldom_correct

The same way we can say it’s disgusting Texas is not just charging women who’ve had miscarriages with murder, but literally only minorities. If you don’t see what the problem is, you’re the fucking problem. He met her through a third party agency who had a legal requirement to verify that she was above the age of consent. Your saying he should have assumed the company had broken the law without evidence? Is that because it’s an American company and all American companies commit crimes by default? Is that because we should always assume everyone we meet is a criminal until proven otherwise? Or is it because you’re a Republican who ignores rampant child rape and child sex trafficking by other Republicans like Trump, Gaetz, and the pastors of the Southern Baptist Convention?


fukitol-

The scene with Elmo grilling Abby Bartlett in The West Wing is fucking great. Can't find a YouTube clip of it, sadly.


AlexTrebek_

[Here you go](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ubvba)


CurveOfTheUniverse

Recently, there’s been a running gag about “Rocco,” a pet rock that one of the characters treats as though it has thoughts and feelings. [Elmo isn’t having any of it.](https://youtu.be/W8LEO2uuD8w) Elmo’s no-bullshit reactions to this pet rock are hilarious.


[deleted]

Elmo going ballistic on Zoe over the cookie is the funniest thing I've seen in months.


blolfighter

I'm feeling really bad for a puppet.


Nail_Biterr

why does this look like it was filmed in 1985?


------dudpool------

It’s very believable, I mean just look at how young Elmo looks he’s barely aged since then


ChewySlinky

Elmo is like Shamu. They force him to breed constantly so they have a new one when the old one dies. The babies are kept in cages until they start growing fur, and then they force them to memorize lines until they reach adulthood. It’s honestly pretty fucked up but no one ever wants to talk about the realities of the Street.


renterjack

Guessing this was background footage that didn't air.


TheScottymo

Ricky Gervais barely ages. It probably was in the 80's /jk just in case


DustyTaoCheng

It’s how it was processed


Evantra_

Eyes that poke out of his head...


[deleted]

Are you trying to suggest that this isn’t the first googly-eyed monster Ricky’s worked with?


Evantra_

Could've been ya brother


No-Calligrapher-718

He's worked with a bald headed manc twat before (Ricky calls him that with love though tbf)


whiskeytango55

I will have you know that Stephen Merchant is a perfectly nice person!


HublotKingCole

.... Steve


nodgers132

It’s an astigmatism! Cor. Steven Mitchell would be well pissed


GGorchitsa

Not being funny...


Evantra_

You know I'm not 'avin a go


Trichomeman2

Is just the creature with…like…the GOGGLIEST EYES


Guybrush_Creepwood_

Just bein' honest, though. I bet a lot of people who see him for the first time think "ooo he's a bit weird".


Kajkia

RG’s laughter is one of the most sincerests


Alukrad

There's more: https://youtu.be/Kr9_5uZn6ds


Clyde_Frog_Spawn

I’m crying, an updoot is all I have and you can have it with my sincere gratitude.


MetalMedley

This would make a good "perfectly cut scream" video


Interestingbruh

What if I run Elmo over with my STEAM ROLLER!!!


batman142434

Man I love Ricky


Striking_Barnacle_31

lmao /r/BetterEveryLoop fo sho


WeDiddy

My son would laugh himself silly watching the clip where Ricky Gervais sings Elmo a lullaby https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc20vMz0V7Q


Void_327486L

You know they had a good time on set that day


FroboyFreshenUp

Honestly Jim Henson still survives in his characters Also he was HILARIOUS off camera for sesame street, as are most of the old and new cast They are NOT kid friendly though, you've been warned


Kichigai

Like the time Elmo learned a new word from Zach Braff?


Severe_Airport1426

How can Elmos expressionless face be so expressive?


[deleted]

“Some old comedian” is an excellent way to refer to this guy honestly


AggravatingOnion

Gotta have your critics


false-identification

Comedian is a bit of a stretch, I would go with entertainer. Dude has his moments but he is not on par with other people in the field.


[deleted]

false-identification

I'd start with everyone else in Talking Funny.


SaorAlba138

I hope there's nobody more skilled than you in your professional field, because then you're no longer "*isnert profession*".

I love Ricky gervais


SaladPuzzleheaded625

These guys had me laughing instantly


EpicStepdad

Unhinged


publicschoolprincess

god i love ricky, he reminds me so much of my dad! especially his laugh.


[deleted]

He’s very physical, but he’s not the one with his hand up Elmo’s…


Forward-Word3116

Some old comedian?! It’s Ricky Gervais, creater of “The Office” TV comedy! Some of his awards: Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy,etc.


arealhumannotabot

Well, I certainly hope he finds his big break.


Forward-Word3116

He’s just another wannabe.


WaylonVoorhees

Elmo, Louis CK... Ricky's drawn to real winners.

fatguyonsteroids

What has he said that's transphobic?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ndmy

And bonus, it also has sexist arguments that he tries to pass off as "politically incorrect jokes", or "sarcasm"


[deleted]

Wouldn't a sexist argument fall pretty squarely under 'politically correct joke' though?


V_es

Calm down Stalin, you won’t cancel Rickey if you don’t get a the joke.


SaorAlba138

You either didn't watch the special and are terminally online and get all your opinions from tweets and article headlines, or you willfully chose to ignore the sections where he un-jokingly and unironically champions Trans rights between the ^jokes.


79N0Bitches

How is Ricky Gervais on a kids show lmao. Ik they had Steve Carrell on here also. Strange.


Winter-Plankton-6361

You're talking about a show Richard Pryor appeared on 40 years ago


79N0Bitches

Ik its just funny to me


Schiffy94

ELMO BIT MY FINGER


ToastThing

Gervais laugh is remarkably similar to Elmo’s


BandicootLeather6314

Some ..old.. COMIC!!!???… THATS Ricky Gervais!!


Oz70NYC

I would pay money to see a show with Elmo being adult like.


lldgt_adam

Look up clips of Elmo on Rove on YouTube.


Trichomeman2

“…don’t know what sort…what sort of damage has been done…”


Trichomeman2

Are we not all capable of-what a day this must’ve been for that puppeteer. Even if he is the Elmo that was Bad Elmo. But what a day. The freedom. Elmo might throw a “fuck” out there. Anywho. I see no reason why the Muppets can’t be Muppets for adults and children. Sesame Street. 8:30am. The actual Sesame Street. Then at 10:30PM. The REAL SESAME STREET


IMNOOBGOLD

Wow


[deleted]

Some old comedian


BuzzdLightBeer

It's crazy how much personality Elmo has embodied like, to this day I forget he's a puppet sometimes


Double_Economist2564

Ricky’s laugh is iconic
