Elmo's dad definitely goes to bars and talks to 22 year old women like "Y'know, my son is actually Elmo..."
*dad/manager
keeps contact with allot of 17 yo girls in a non sexual way, allot of instagram likes from elmos dad
One of the cooler older men, with a pulse on today's penussy
If it works it works
@@francisconikotian2326 “hey happy birthday can’t believe you’re already 18! Maybe I could take you out to celebrate sometime…”
Nick watches seasame street while alternately dry firing a pistol at the TV and his own head.
Autistic Taxi Driver
I'm pissed I can't like this comment more than once
That's dark and I love it.
Also, I'm g...well, you know
Underrated
fires a gun the same way he bates
The idea of Elmo’s dad living with a “music partner” for 25 years without Elmo understanding what is going on is absolutely hysterical
Elton John and Bernie Taupin were fucking
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.
Yea not gay...just a ton of heroin
@Quagmoe Yeah That's where ai thought he was going with that. The gay thing didn't even occur to me.
I go to bars an tell girls im elmos dad, also im gay
Elmo’s dad explaining the Black Lives Matter riots to Elmo over a zoom call is the dystopian future I didn’t even realize we were living in
This whole thing was bleak.
Ya see Elmo, violent riots are actually a good thing.
Yeah I physically cringed during that sequence
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.
nick not responding to adams question of how long its been since he stopped watching seaseme street is very damning
3:31 **nervous laughter**
Autism Mullen
@@moazamkhan that's the laugh of an unaware addict
I thought it had to be a bit until he accurately recalled a random episode. He truly is our autistic, manlet king
As a producer and writer Nick has to keep sharp on all the current baby shows.
"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
the way Nick says "who the fuck is Baby David?" gets me every time.
😂😂😂😂 kills
“This guys a fucking loser!”
Personally offended
That baby ain't no kin of mine
@@ZeranZeran That is correct.
Genuine vitriol in that question
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"?
that's literally my gay dad you're talking about
That seems a little too successful for Elmo’s dad
Billy gay Cyrus as elmos 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
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
Not just a child, he’s been 3 years old for like 30 years.
@@jeffreviews4620 I thought he was 5??
@@TheBearWithOrangeFur @Jeff Reviews Actually he's three and a half.
worst part is now we can’t jack off to our rape fantasies about him anymore
So much of Elmo’s Dad’s sad energy could be solved by removing the soul patch
Why didnt they just make a bigger muscular elmo roughly the size of big bird
@@mattsmith457 because CHADelmo would be terrifying and or heavily sexualized by the internet
@@blueray2174 You say that as if he probably isn't already
And not giving him a bowling shirt.
And have him talk like someone who doesn't live multiple states away from his own son.
A SCATHING review of Sesame Street
Elmo taken to task for his Red Geno-Lie agenda.
Theyre not holding back! Take a picture of these guys and wrap a police caution tape around their mouth for their label !
Nick and Adam popped off
They didn't realise it's Tony B's girl getting irate about racism.
Someone had to say it.
Nick in this is radiating absolutley unprecedented levels of 'Resentful child of divorce' energy, it's hilarious.
"But that's not Elmo's mother" Nick can relate 😢
Explain
@@wormwoodcocktail He is a child of divorce lol
He's a child of my ass.
I can relate
Elmo staring lifelessly on the zoom call with a shitty greenscreen background and reflected computer light is the only funny thing about that episode
truly haunting
I thought the whole premise was ridiculous and funny.
He looks as though hes just seen hell he has a thousand mile stare.
@@fajile5109 *island
Rejected black mirror plot
Nick's description of Telly as an "old school alcoholic, nothing romantic about it" is pretty much me.
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.
When he said he used to live with a guy who looked like him he meant his dad
"He saw us jumping on the mattress" .....right
Why does she say she's pink?
Oh wow I didn't catch that
she paid the toll
Oscar the grouch calling them race traitors 😂
Wonder what the doctor had to say about that one….
We’re all in agreement that Oscar sent that phone call, right?
oscar is so fucking pilled on the JQ
@@formerlychucks5918 I too enjoy Jonny Quest
@@formerlychucks5918 Big Bird had to dunk his head in water to wake him up
Oh definitely
Based and schizopilled
Elmo's dad looks like he owns a failing bar and grill in San Bernardino
Elmos dad LOVES dive bars
And a 1993 Buick with a blow & go
Elmo's dad grew up in victorville
SAN BER'DINO
more like benidorm
I didn't realize how hard Nick was projecting until he called Telly autistic
Elmos dad saw George Floyd die and said "Its time to come back from the store."
I do love the idea that Nick actively watches kids shows
All the making fun of Adam liking baby shows was projection
Yeah same kind of loser to promote the vax
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
Elmo's dad done shot the baby
Elmo's dad have been negatively affected to don't ask don't tell
What?! I don't think this is real.
Were those the ones that said "sponsored by Lockheed Martin" at the start?
I remember when Elmo lived alone in a tenement building with a fish and Mr Noodle dancin in the window. Elmo was better off without this guy
I remember when he had a blanket and he got pissy about someone taking it.
“Yeah remember when Elmo lived alone in a studio apartment in Brooklyn, where was his dad then?”
@@Heliogabalos I remember when Elmo existed in a Flat somewhere in the New York area. His deadbeat father was nowhere in sight.
Why is it really easy to imagine Oscar the Grouch making the racist crank calls
That or Ernie (in the bertstrips universe)
"George Floyd had to die for that" by god Adam is actually really funny :D
Hahaha yaaaay! :DDD
that ":D" feels so condescending lol
I laugh out loud whenever I think about that line. Amazing.
Nick actually really hating on Elmo's dad is fucking killing me.
Elmo's dad is just like the US government, leaving us out to dry only popping back in to lecture us about race relations and vaccines.
Elmo's dad is literally a CIA cutout 😂
This is the best format of the podcast. Just an outlet for Nick to talk and Adam helping push the conversation along without any input
Well having listened the adam friedland show podcast for a while now gotta say, absolutely not! Not doing that anymore!
Literally 15 minutes of Nick complaining about how Sesame Street is not as good as it used to be.
Spoiler: Sesame Street was never good.
And I wouldn't want it any other way
@@Zorro9129 Sesame Street used to be excellent early childhood content but it has been ruined by heavy handed liberal messaging over the years.
@@TomboyCEO I agree, I watched it as a little kid and only in recent years have been able to figure out it's always had an agenda.
@@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's dad plays bass in a Phish cover band and tells his landlord to "Give him another week."
That lady faked the call to get likes and retweets on Twitter
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.
Elmo's dad should've been Yevgeny Prigozhin
@@eeblihp "Elmo why are you sad?" "Well Elmo's dad died in a plane crash." "Oh I'm sorry Elmo, was the plane crash accidental." "Elmo doesn't think so but at this time I am afraid to speak publicly on it do to, fear of retaliation of Putin's regime."
Elmo has an enlarged heart now and nobody knows why!
Stop questioning things, you alt right extremist!!!!!1!1!1!
@@timewellspent8137 🐸👌🏻
Guess what everybody? Elmo’s dad dropped dead at 45! I guess that’s how it goes, no reason to question that!
Sesame street's been going downhill for a long time now and im glad SOMEONE finally has the BALLS to stand up and say it!
Nicks definitely got no issues with his father and isn’t desperate to drink himself to death
This bit is miles above anything they've done before. It's kind of incredible when you expect 'what about gay Elmo?' and get this instead.
Not having Stav on to validate Nick's "what if this but gay" bits gave the show the push it needed to evolve.
9:28
"no more popping off!"
"no, we can pop off."
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 😂
Or not hearing Stav bust out laughing every ten seconds. Still great, but certainly different.
I'm scared guys, I'm feeling less gay but it's not a bad thing. It's like how nature intended if you will.
This is why The Adam Friedland Show is the greatest
Too long on my lunch break
Didn’t even realize this was post Stav Cum Town
@@Robert-Sacamano perhaps
@@grassbackyard3825 you didn’t notice the lack of the shrill Greek cackle?
Nashville Loser broke me
It broke us all
Is Elmo's dad supposed to be the muppet version of Billy Ray Cyrus?
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.
the kind of radical who does zoom meetings on a macbook
radically
Basic thought is radical? What if he isn't joking and you're the joke
all Nick’s morals come from Sesame Street
Hey you can have my share of the vax, take it in both arms.
@@coolguysupercool4292 That's.....that's literally what he fucking said lol.
Nick having a heartfelt analysis of Tele's internal joy in a fucked up life is what I needed today.
I'm a real ass entrepreneur, I SAIL THANGS.
“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
"Must have seen us playing basketball, or jumping on the mattress."
😦
“Jumping on the mattress” is that what kids are calling it now?
Elmo's dad looks like the trumpet player in a ska band.
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.
Yeah what the fuck happened to the show being based in new york?
The green screen is particularly atrocious.
ok boomer
@@killtrump_666 replying to a year old comment is the real boomer move
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
Jumping on the mattress with gina
Elmo's dad's rocking that mean soul patch.
7:39 “jumpin on the mattres”
…hmmmMm
ee er ee er ee er ee er
id pay good money to watch that
You notice how she doesn’t say “there are red people” or “yellow people”?
Or green people! It isn't easy being Green.
What's your favorite episode of the Adam Friedland show? Mine is the one where Nick has a deep seeded hatred for a piece of talking fabric
Is that a Game Grumps reference?
Seated
Deep seated
Is that a Game Grumps reference?
@@Webmaster4531 your sub list is absolutely amazing
"black nerd comedy"
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
Just like the Beatles ☝️
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
nah his manic rants need the chainmail sound, its branding
@@rourkesutton1983 it was barely manic, I listened to that rant and he was on the money.
@@Michael-jq8iq I screenshotted your comment because RUclips removed it, you’re not wrong lmao
hes on too many pills to do that anymore
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
Elmo went to the doctor and he said Elmo’s heart isn’t working so good anymore
30 year old man wants more songs in his childrens edutainment
the best bit in here is nick saying "I stopped watching sesame street a couple years ago" fucking had me dying
Was it a bit?
Elmo's dad finally got those cigarettes. It was a really long line at the circle k.
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
Nick’s interpretation of Telly is the funniest thing I’ve heard today.
It's even funnier because Telly's canonically 5 years old, but gives off the vibes he describes
I just assumed Elmo was conceived by immaculate conception.
Hits too close to home for Nick
Elmos dad returned to elmo after he found out he got rich from acting
When nick says that almost dad should be telling him that he should be out playing and being a kid and that adults messed everything up... damn.
Who among us hasn't gotten so drunk we temporarily forgot that racism was a thing?
I tried that, but I drink in front of mirrors to prevent that
The opposite
Came right back to this after the Larry David situation.
"Would you like to sign my petition Elmo?"
his genuine confusion over who “Baby David” is is sending me
Bro he hasn't been watching for a couple years and it's obvious
who is he? isn't he the teddy bear?
Lol I feel you Nick, “Look how HBO massacred my boy”
Idk if it will ever get out there, but I spitballed the joke that Elmo is watching Mr. Noodle and Noodle is constantly trying to kill himself while Elmo says shit like “I don’t think you’re supposed to take that many pills at once Mr. Noodle” or “What’s that rope for Mr. Noodle?”
It never dawned on me that Telly monster was an addictive personality lmao
1:11 “Look at his dad. I can’t tell you how much I fucking hate this guy.” Lol
My youtube autoplay put me into an actual sesame street video after this and i kept waiting for nick to jump in with a bit and it never came.
show of hands, who here resonates with Telly?
I identify with Telly.
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.
@@jaydeng.3029 Telly got brain damage from mixing defoliant in Vietnam
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 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
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.
Isn't the most iconic Elmo puppeteer a black guy?
@@neighborhoodmusicsnob5517 Yeah he was. He stopped doin Elmo after he had a little gay sex scandal but was cleared of any wrong doing.
@@Gerald5000 i thought he died
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
@@congeee i think you're black
Elmo’s dad looks like Ted nugent
But without the baseness
They have this whole beet red cartoon species and somehow designed a member of it as distinctely redheaded
That's a feat
You ever stop and realize how much Elmo’s dad looks like Telly?
U dont think…..ohhh (conspiracy berleezy)
This is both funny and, towards the end, Nick makes incredibly insightful and interesting points. This was a top tier rant.
I’m gay.
Nicks mad about these mulignans moving onto sesame street
"I seen you jumping on the mattress with that mooly!"
lmao the propaganda on sesame st is absolutely off the rails
Plot twist Elmo was the one making that racist phone call
"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"
didn’t know peter griffin was elmo’s dad
Elmo’s mom is is also his dad. His dad is a trans man who used to be a broad who wore doc martens back in the 90’s. Hence the soul patch, bowler shirt, and absence. You have to understand that Sesame Street time operates at 1/3 time in our world.
man, you matched it up perfectly.. good job
Very captivating editing. Please keep making more
“It’s not education or entertainment, it feels like…workplace instruction…” propaganda. Word.
Elmos dad is Greg pahanish
Elmo staring into space is sending me into orbit
I like Nashvillians being recognized as a distinguishable variety of individual.
9:16 Tully says "I'll be the drunk"
8:55 it was big bird who called 😂
((Baby David))
Larry David strangled this guy’s son on live television and he just stood there. Pure deadbeat.
