I remember seeing Elmo's dad for the first time and thinking, "Why does he look like he works at Guitar Center and plays in a classic rock tribute band"?
Nick said at the end the joke wasn’t meant to be gay. Elmo’s dad is just that much of a lazy failure he couldn’t make a song in 25 years. Which is honestly way funnier to imagine someone being that much of a deadbeat.
I was a navy brat so they used to give us free dvds about Elmo’s dad going on deployment. It brings warmth to my heart to think about Steve Harvey and Elmo’s dad being in the same regiment keeping us safe
As a kid I always assumed Elmo was an adult. He lived with his goldfish by himself in a New York city apartment. Always assumed he was just like a bachelor. To find out he's supposed to be a child ruins me.
It's like I Am Sam where it's just a retarded dude living in apartment by himself with the building owner/other tenants occasionally coming in to check on him but instead of a daughter he has a goldfish
"He's as oblivious to racism as he is about his own, disheveled state. And that's what's beautiful about him." Jesus Nick, you sound like my probation officer
I love how your rage at black people overrides the fact that the police killed an unarmed man and then antagonized the protesters to get dumb asses like you to back on their side.
I feel so lucky to have grown up before children's entertainment was turned into politically biased psa's about current events that I didn't give a shit about. It'd be like if SpongeBob did an episode in 2003 where he has a phone call with Sandy to tell us about the atrocities of the Iraq war or something.
@@Zorro9129 it used to be not so on the nose but you are right, it’s always been there just not so heavy handed. They used to handle sensitive topics such as racism and discrimination very intelligently and carefully but now it’s too much.
Elmo: can you name on song at all, even a working title for one you think is good? Elmo's dad: now see, we're more of a jam band, than like properly written out
Damn this feels so different from cumtown with stav, not in a bad way it all I loved this bit. But it’s just weird not hearing Nick destroy Adam every 30 seconds 😂
When Nick starts making more valid critisisms than jokes it's scaring me that I might be the kind of radical he's making fun of and I don't even realize.
I like the idea that not only is Nick pissed about the delivery of SS now, but also personally offended Elmo’s father was gone for so long and didn’t check in, and looks like some guy who stole his bag of weed
Watching new episodes of Sesame Street with my baby son was so depressing compared to my memories as a kid. It’s all green screens and has no New York flavour, messages are very heavy handed and like a lecture. So glad a compilation of 12 hours of 90s Sesame Street for him.
Elmo's dad looks like he should be 45 in a late 90s sitcom. I hope he doesn't get lost on his way home from working at the bowling alley again for another 60 years
"hey, Elmo. What's up buddy? It's 35 years since I saw you bud. I'm a rockstar dude. Wicked. Hey could you do your old man a solid? I just need a couple dollars to get a show running"
Holy shit I can't wait for Nick to go on another unhinged rant about COVID vaccine, I just hope this time the audio isn't fucked by his jangling chainmail
I remember Elmo's dad showed up in a Sesame Street episode from before 2008, about going to the bathroom. He sang a song to baby Elmo about how to shit in the toilet
“I don’t know why Elmo’s dad pisses me off, because I stopped watching Sesame Street a couple of years ago” -Nick Mullen, in his mid 30s at the time of this clip
Such a weird character All I remember is the time he went to the BLM riots and how he tried to explain that his brother died to Elmo, who just did not get it at all.
Also, he's apparently based on some Sicilian singer, so Elmo is Italian I guess. Mae is actually his mom, I don't know why she's orange. And Louie is also an Iraq War veteran.
that bit abount elmo's uncle dying is so unintentionally hilarious for me. even when elmo understands the concept he instantly forgets the death of a loved one and gets back to whatever bullshit he wanted to do beforehand.
I think the zoom meeting thing was because the puppeteers were working remotely from home but it does make it look like he was a deadbeat Dad who has come back into Elmo's life. I thought Elmo was black. I don't mean like, that's why his Dad wasn't present.
Elmo is not black lmao. The point of the puppets is that you can identify with them no matter what race you are. Is Nemo white or black? Is scooby doo Asian or Mexican? What has our world come to
As a father of one year old I have to watch this shit every fucking day since last October. There's deep lore here, I would love to come on and explain this shit.
mind explaining it a bit? as somebody who hasn't watched sesame street since the 2000s I always assumed that elmo was a a mentally retarded but independent guy in his 30s and I'm curious to learn the truth
They should of made Elmo’s dad an ex mercenary who spent the last 40 years just in places like Cambodia, Colombia and the Congo, and is haunted by the shit he did. And now he desperately wants to preserve his son’s innocence.

That seems a little too successful for Elmo’s dad

He’s in a Doors tribute band.
He definitely has a Chili Pepper asterisk on his arm, maybe even the Frusciante Octopus. Definitely gay
then we finally see a picture of Nick's dad and it looks exactly like Elmo's dad and the mystery of why Nick is so pissed off is solved.

Not having Stav on to validate Nick's "what if this but gay" bits gave the show the push it needed to evolve.
