T.M.X. Elmo gets his comeupance, laughs through the flames

To be honest, it didn't really take a video of T.M.X. Elmo being set on fire while laughing maniacally to give us nightmares about the fuzzy red doll, we find the pyro-free version to adequately creepy as well. Peep the video after the break, never have a restful night again.

tech news must be having a slow day.

Click on the pic for video.

If there is a toy brought by the devil himself, this is it.

[Keith @ Dec 30th 2006 3:19PM]

Ok, this scared the crap out of me. I don't know what it is, but I cant find it funny. But uh, yeah, I must agree with Hostile; it's a slow news day.

That is most definitely without a doubt one of, if not the, creepiest things i have seen in a very long time. The laughing is one thing, but the rolling on the ground is almost too much.

First Saddam, then Elmo? This is going to be a great day.

[Steve D. @ Dec 30th 2006 2:47PM]

Actually I've been wanted to do this long time ago, but instead of fire, I want 100- .308 holes.

It's like a really, really happy Terminator in that scene from the first movie!

[LittleJoe @ Dec 30th 2006 3:19PM]

By far one of the funniest things Ive seen in a while.

The comedy is increased tenfold if you take his "laughing" as crying and screams of pain.

"Ahhhhh Ahhhh!! Stop!!! Ahhhhh!!"

Classic :P

[Evan @ Dec 30th 2006 3:52PM]

Thats not right


Curse the stupid asses that did that...

[Lucas @ Dec 30th 2006 4:02PM]

Um .. is it me or does this remind you of the scene from AI ..... Its just MECCA ! .... let the robot cruelty for human entertainment mark its spot in history.

Tee Hee.

[Matt @ Dec 30th 2006 4:35PM]

that vid is kinda scary.

[imageburn13 @ Dec 30th 2006 4:45PM]

Great.
Very funny, puts a whole new spin on it. +1, very clever.

Got my laugh for the day:)

[Matt @ Dec 30th 2006 6:12PM]

funniest thing I've seen on the net in a while!

Stop! It tickles!

[DEMON @ Feb 5th 2007 5:39PM]

LOL engadget, you just made my day

[Skirrow @ Dec 30th 2006 6:59PM]

Lol, Sizzle Me Elmo. Some toys deserve it though. I buried Furby alive and drowned my Tamagotchi in a pint of beer.

[Zadillo @ Dec 30th 2006 7:41PM]

No St. Elmo's Fire jokes?

[myscrnnm @ Dec 30th 2006 8:47PM]

lol, it's the Terminator.

[eliasgreydrummer @ Dec 30th 2006 10:28PM]

I saw this video months and months ago back when TMX Elmo was first released. I still have nightmares. Thank you engadget for re-traumatizing me.

[strider_mt2k @ Dec 30th 2006 11:42PM]

It laughs at your feeble attempts to destroy it.

[icepop4who @ Dec 31st 2006 1:01AM]

that was funny and creepy equally. the first time i watched it, i was freaked out. the second time was funny though. the third time was disturbing. i couldn't watch it again. the heeeheee hahahaehheee heeaha haha through the flames was just too much, and the rolling on the floor having a seizure didn't help.

[Mike D @ Dec 31st 2006 3:03AM]

thats creepy .. really really creepy

[silverbolt @ Dec 31st 2006 1:47PM]

Wow, that was disturbing.

[Beetle @ Jan 1st 2007 12:10PM]

Not funny or creepy just looks like a bunch of dudes with nothing useful to do. Thanks Engadget for wasting 20 seconds of my life.

If something can be an initiator of mental problems, this is it.
