Elmo recently checked in on X, formerly Twitter, about how everyone was doing, and the ensuing responses were…interesting, to say the least!

It’s a day for news outside the Disney bubble, but it’s a story to write home about! Any Disney Fanatic is well-versed with the muppets. In fact, so many of us grew up on them and enjoyed the lessons we learned with them. There’s one set of muppets that are particularly iconic and exist outside the Disney realm: Sesame Street.

Elmo Checks In On X

Sesame Street is one of the most well-known children’s shows there is out there. The show and it’s loveable characters have been entertaining children since 1969 and has 54 seasons.

On January 29, 2024, Elmo, a beloved Sesame Street character, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to check in with folks about how they were doing.  The sweet red muppet wrote, “Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?”

What followed was described by many as a barrage of “trauma dumping.”

One fan wrote, “Elmo we are tired.”

Another commented, “Every morning, I cannot wait to go back to sleep. Every Monday, I cannot wait for Friday to come. Every single day and every single week for life.”

A third even went so far as to say, “The world is burning around us, Elmo.”

Many fans on social media also humorously acknowledged the fact that Elmo’s gentle question had gotten a little out of hand, considering the likely intention of the post.

One said, “Elmo reading the replies and QTs.”

Of course, this post went so viral that a lot of the other characters from Sesame Street also jumped in and checked in on social media, letting people know that they were always open to listening.

As one X user wrote, “Elmo saw like 50k trauma dumps in one day and got the whole squad coming together like the damn mental health avengers.”

The situation was both wholesome and characteristic of the existential dread that many in the present young generation purport to experience.
