ROTFLOL: The Tickle Me Elmo Challenge

ElmoTickle Me Elmo TMX, the newest edition of every four-year-old’s most coveted toy, rolls on the floor, kicking and giggling hysterically like Cheech Marin after a little too much Maui Wowee—way more merriment that one would expect from a simple poke in the belly.  The toy, which was released this week and retails for just $40, but is already hard to find (check eBay: “Buy it Now” prices were around $70 when we posted this), houses pretty high-tech animatronics that are ripe for hacking. Now, we wouldn’t want to suggest that you should rip open a perfectly good, brand-new toy and hack it to do something even funnier than crack itself up (ahem, cough). But if anyone is inclined toward doing so, we’d really, really like to see video of the event. Send footy to webmaster@popsci.com. We like .mov files best. —Megan Miller

Perhaps a fire-breathing Elmo should be in order?

that would be great if you could make it rip its own head off. Or put a switchblade in the hand that keeps going up and down. Now thats good entertainment, elmo killed a care bear.

You should make it have a demonic laugh, it's eyes glow green or red and have it shoot something out of its hands. That would make it really hard to sleep...

You should dye its hair black, make its eyes red, slow down the laugh to make it more demonic like beautiful women suggested, make it shoot flames out of its mouth like the roboraptor, stitch wings onto its back and give it claws! That would be worh buying!

I want to see one naked - fur gone. I think that in itself would be scary.
