The premise

Here’s the bit.

In a mock Christmas commercial, a narrator pitches this season's must-have gift: Tickle Me Emo, the tortured, angst-ridden teen cousin of Elmo, who answers a squeeze with one of thirteen pre-recorded despairing sayings. A small boy in snowflake pajamas unwraps the doll on Christmas morning and quickly learns that it moans about thorns on roses, denies God, accuses him of not understanding, and trades insults. The pitch warns owners not to leave the toy alone too long, since he hurts himself to feel alive, and the ad closes on the boy in tears as the doll is promoted as a Hot Topic exclusive.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Tickle Me Emo is the tortured angst-ridden teen cousin of Elmo and boy is he sad.

There is no God, you hear me? No God.
