Yahoo Lifestyle Elmo Went On A (Play) Date With Amelia From Chicken Shop Date, And I Wasn't Expecting This Kind Of Sass From A 3.5-Year-Old
Well, it happened. Elmo went on a date with Amelia Dimoldenberg. Well, a playdate, that is.
After Amelia's long-awaited date with the one and only Andrew Garfield, Elmo was the next guest to sit across from the Chicken Shop Date host to chat while eating nuggets (Well, vegetarian nuggets because Elmo says he is friends with a lot of chickens).
But while the episode started off sweet by discussing the secret to a perfect hug (Elmo said it has to be genuine and involve consent, of course), the conversation turned a little — dare I say — awkward with a side of sass.
Amelia starts off by telling Elmo he's an Aquarius (because Amelia also has the same star sign as him), but he has no idea what she's talking about.
Amelia: "It's just cool that we're both Aquarius'. Don't you think that's such a cool coincidence?"
Elmo: "It's a very cool coincidence if Elmo knew what that meant." *Stares directly into the camera*
Next, Amelia said that she felt like she wasn't being her normal "mean" self on the playdate because Elmo brought something out of her, so she decided to be more "mean" to Elmo (after Elmo gave consent, of course).
Amelia: "I think you're moving too much."
Elmo: Okay. *Stays perfectly still.*
Amelia: "That was a lot of hand movements there."
Elmo: "How about this?" *Continues to stay still.*
Amelia: "Now it's strange."
Elmo: "Now it's awkward."
Then Amelia brings up the fact that Elmo has met David Beckham and that he taught Elmo the word "persistent." But then Elmo thinks it's the perfect time to teach Amelia another word.
Amelia: "It's interesting because I've been persistently trying to get him on Chicken Shop Date."
Elmo: "Ah, well... Elmo thinks you could use a word called 'patience,' right?"
Oh, you thought Elmo was done? He got offended that Amelia couldn't picture him being a swimmer.
Amelia: "If you had to do a sport in the Olympics, which one would it be?"
Elmo: "Elmo likes swimming a lot."
Amelia: "Really?"
Elmo: "Why did you say 'really' like that?"
Amelia: "Well, I can't really imagine you in a swimming pool."
Elmo: "You can't? Imagine it."
Maybe Elmo is bringing the sass because he's a real New Yorker (after all, he lives on Sesame Street). But right when Amelia asks about this, the conversation gets rudely interrupted by Rocco, Elmo's archnemesis.
Amelia: "Oh, look. Rocco is here."
Elmo: "No, he's not."
Amelia: "Yeah, Rocco is right in front of you."
Elmo then looks down and rolls his eyes.
Elmo: "Are you kidding?" *Looks at the camera crew.* "Who brought Rocco?"
Amelia: "I thought you brought Rocco?"
Elmo does a huge sigh.
Amelia then takes the opportunity to give a gift to Rocco.
Amelia: "Can you pass this love note to Rocco?"
Elmo: "What does it say?"
Amelia: "It says, 'You rock.'"
Elmo: "That's cute."
Of course, Elmo wasn't all sass. He gave Amelia good relationship advice after she asked him why he believed she'd been single for so long.
Elmo: "Elmo thinks you're in your head too much. You're a wonderful person. You're kind, you're funny, you're smart, you're beautiful. Just accept love. It's very important."
That's when Amelia opened up about what we can assume is her Chicken Shop Date with Andrew Garfield. She said that she met someone recently and that she really liked them but maybe friendzoned them.
Elmo told her there's always room for love — but that maybe you shouldn't take advice from a three-and-a-half-year-old monster on love. He's got a point, but Amelia said she was desperate.
Of course, the minute the video got posted on YouTube, fans commented on the playdate.
One fan mentioned why this was the perfect guest after the Andrew episode.
And another fan called Elmo a savage.
Someone talked about Elmo's wisdom for a three-and-a-half-year-old.
While thankfully, someone brought up the long-held feud between Rocco and Elmo.
At the end of the day, we're just glad to have Elmo's positivity and joy, just like Amelia said after having a rough week.
