I still prefer to refer to him as “Leon.”

In South Africa, we call him Melon Husk.

"Elmo" is better if you ask me. They're both annoying children that need to shut the fuck up and go away.

Elmo is beloved and doesn't hurt anyone. Put some respect on his name.

[–] FlyingSquid 18 points 1 month ago (3 children)

As someone who once had a toddler, he's not beloved, he's hated by most parents. Because he's fucking awful. Stop talking to the fish and the baby, Elmo! They can't fucking understand you! Also, you don't seem to notice that Mr. Noodle keeps changing and that lack of basic attention to detail is worrying.

On top of that, his parents basically neglect him, which is why you never see him.

Fuck Elmo. Give me Cookie Monster, Ernie and Bert and Oscar the Grouch.

I swear that's the first time I have heard them referred to as Ernie and Bert and not Bert n ernie

Yeah get him! Elmo has been dodging the consequences of his war crimes for far too long.

Israel, is that you?

I have these same feelings for Paw Patrol

Nothing can top the searing hatred for Caillou though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

We don't say that name in this house.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

that makes him sound more normal

Nah, Leon is a decent name, also that protagonist from some Resident Evil games
