You’re never too old to call Elmo a friend! Especially considering how active our favorite Sesame Street resident is on social media, where most of his aging comrades hang out nowadays. This week, he posted a sweet vibe check on X (formerly known as Twitter). “Elmo is just checking in,” he wrote, “How is everybody doing?” The response? Not so hot.
Within minutes, Elmo’s replies were flooded with existential dread. I guess that’s what happens when you ask a bunch of adults how they’re feeling in the dead of winter. One user wrote, “Every morning, I cannot wait to go back to sleep. Every Monday, I cannot wait for Friday to come. Every single day and every single week for life.” Another person wrote, “Suffering,” while a similarly depressed fan replied, “I’m at my lowest, thanks for asking.” My personal favorite? “Where do we begin Elmontre?”
