Elmo Gets Cooked for Saying He Hopes Eagles and Chiefs Just 'Have Fun' at Super Bowl

Elmo, the fuzzy and impossibly cute Sesame Street icon, is in some hot water after his lovable (and fair) outlook on the Super Bowl didn't go over well on the internet.

Shortly before the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs faced off at the Super Bowl, Elmo took to X to say he "just hopes both teams have fun." All is fair in love and war, but football is a bit different.

Netizens were quick to jump on the canonically two-year-old puppet for refusing to take a side, saying things like "a lot of people have money riding on this" and "take a stand, Elmo."

One user even took a photo of a dejected-looking Chiefs bench and asked, "Does it look like they're having fun Elmo?"

Maybe the Chiefs would've won if Elmo took a side.

This isn't the first time people used the beloved icon to project their troubles onto. In 2024, Elmo innocently asked on X how everyone was doing, to which he received countless retellings of trauma.
