Fixer Jessica says, “What the casual observer may not realize is that the baby actually isn’t sleeping. It’s playing opossum hoping that Elmo will lose interest and go away. The parents may then bend Elmo to the side of the carrier, rewarding the baby’s silence. Anytime the child begins to throw tantrums, Elmo comes right back. Brilliant move by the parents.”

    Sesame Street: Teaching children that what they want is precariously hanging just out of their reach since 1969.

  2. kc/cc says:

    I think the addition of wire coat hangers pretty much voids the warranty on this seat.

  3. Dogmeat says:

    Elmo not want to be fed to baby upon waking! Elmo beg you to let Elmo go! Elmo promise not to laugh or ask you to tickle again. Elmo sorry! ELMO SORRY!!!!

    Let this serve as a warning to you: do NOT let your husband babysit during football season.

    Whatever keeps those tyrants asleep…

  10. Czernobog says:

    So “unwanted pregnancy Elmo” is a hit with kids? Who woulda thunk it?

    • kc/cc says:

      Now, that’s just disturbing. :(

      I was thinking more like, “Elmo’s kidnapping interrupted potty time, as evidenced by the toilet paper that can still be seen hanging on there.”

  11. waldo says:

    The Elmo drool on her is repulsive.

  12. treborx says:

    the baby rocks back and forth, causing Elmo to move. babies learn cause and effect very quickly.

  13. Elaine says:

    Now if it were only the vibrating Elmo, it would be perfect.

    Elmo has just hang himself!

  16. JoJo says:

    Elmo is watching you nap.

  17. newbie says:

    I’m going to hell for this comment.. but that wire hanger finally came in handy…. I have ebil taughts… i sorry

  18. TexasDan says:

    Elmo has a great sense of smell, but his eyesight is poor. If you lay still enough baby, he may just go away.

  19. Me says:

    I have a problem with kludging anything a baby will be near. Sorry folks but it’s putting a baby in danger. Elmo does not was to cause an accident :) I’m preety sure that’s a vibrating baby seat which means it could cause the wire hanger to come loose and poke an eye out of that beautiful baby. Think before you rig when it comes to a baby!

  20. BoringTroll says:

    Elmo not decoration, Elmo is handle padding.
    You can pick up the bouncy seat by the Elmo, much more comfortable than grabbing the bare coat hanger wire.

  21. Paul R. says:

    Much to the delight of children everywhere, Hasbro decided against “Torture Me!” Elmo.

  22. says:

    What did you think I meant when I said I needed a coathanger to take care of my baby?

  23. dono1 says:

    Well, the tag on his back does say, “Keep out of reach of children.”

  24. slapchop says:

    The coat hanger is potentially dangerous. But, as a parent, I would never leave my baby floating aimlessly in outer space, much less a black hole.

  25. Wuzzat? says:

    Baby’s thoughts, “Its just a dream! If I close my eyes and count to 5, it’ll disappear! 1,2,3,4,5. *cracks open one eye* OMG! Its still there!!! *Shuts eyes tightly* 1,2,3,4,5!!!! 1,2,3,4,5!!!!”

  26. kc/cc says:

    The biggest problem I see here is that there are too many temptations for the cat. Sleeping baby is enough, but now we have Elmo, Elmo’s tag, Elmo’s creepy string-and-wire restraints…

  27. Mememe says:

    This is a lawsuit waiting and the parents are more than likely aware. They are just waiting for the baby to do her part. I pray parents watch what they do around their children. This child “if picked up by the wire” as one poster said, would be in danger! Anything can happen and like I said I’m sure the parents would sue the crud out of someone if they thought they’d get monies, even if it was ultimately their fault! Take it down and hold your baby. That’s what’s wrong with american’s today, they don’t hold and love on their children.

  28. Me says:

    You know I just notcied that the vibrating baby seat is also on the edge of a table. Call Social Services!

  29. nobby stiles says:

    To make things worse, the parents dressed the little boy in pink.

  30. Chris says:

    Who’s being tortured more, Elmo or the baby?

  31. Staticcling says:

    No more wire hangers–EVER!

  32. T.L.L. says:

    Elmo is watching… always watching. Elmo know where you live, and Elmo never is reluctant to prove that he can “sooth” even the most misbehaved baby through frequent beatings.

  33. jghi says:

    35 yrs later…I dunno Doc ,I cant sleep.Ive got the feeling someones watching me with big white lifeless eyes. Lifeless eyes.

  34. franness says:

    We don’t know that it vibrates. I’m sure they don’t let the baby play with the wire hanger, AND I think the worst part about it is how close it is to the edge of the table. To the part who thinks that people don’t love on their babies enough, sure, some parents don’t, but no parent can hold their baby 100% of the time. Keep them safe, yes. Hold them? Not always.

  35. franness says:

    *to the person/people*, not the *part.*
