Every time I read "He was a communist, Elmo." I can help but just laugh, it's just hilarious.

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 hour ago

The whole beef is hilarious ngl and i don't even know the context.

Hearing it in Nick Mullen’s voice doing an impression of Gordon

Insane that these grown-ass self-proclaimed “alpha males” are beefing with a puppet.

[–] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 21 minutes ago

Don't misrepresent the situation, Elmo is a muppet not a puppet!

Elmo is mogging them without even trying. Look at those like/rt ratios

On the other hand, this makes perfect sense if they're actually man-children.

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 19 points 1 hour ago

He was a communist, Elmo. (positive)

The two incel gurus reach such a higher plane of patheticness that they make the last one look out of place.

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 15 points 1 hour ago

Why talk about yourself like that?

I mean it's completely true, and you should absolutely fuck right off.

Fragile fucks have to talk shit to an actual puppet spreading positivity because their ideology is such dog shit it can't be hyped.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 25 points 2 hours ago

This is what they say to Elmo in public, I can't even imagine the vile shit they send to Ms Rachel in private. What the fuck is wrong with these people.

[–] polydactyl@lemmy.world 3 points 59 minutes ago

They are such parody’s of themselves I am 60/40 on whether these are real or not.

“Tell Elmo how you feel today sweetie.”

I HATE YOU ELMO!

“Now, please tell Elmo why you feel that way. Use your words please.”

The kind of people that answer when Dora the explorer ask them a question

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 hour ago

Whats the context? Its hilarious without it lol

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 3 points 49 minutes ago* (last edited 49 minutes ago)

these guys send unhinged tweets to Elmo in the same way that I do to sitting U.S. senators and they think THEY'RE the peak of masculinity

[–] meathorse@lemmy.world 11 points 1 hour ago

Only possible explanation for these responses: Elmo is the true alpha here, both Peterson and Taite were traumatized as children/teens when they came home from school one day and walked in on Elmo, fur-deep in their mum with their father huddled in the corner crying.

This is the ONLY possible explanation for raging at a children's puppet like this.

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

Elmo is unconcerned with the foes of Elmo

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 hour ago

I didn't know the rivalry between elmo and Kermit ran so deep.

[–] YetiMindtrick@lemmy.world 1 points 46 minutes ago

Elmo is clearly the leader we need.
