Things We Saw Today: Everyone Is Reveling in Elmo’s Hatred of Rocco, Who Is A ROCK

Right now, Twitter is discovering Elmo’s fued with Rocco. The “pet” of Zoe, he’s a constant thorn in Elmo’s side. From taking his cookie to stealing his spot to go on the swing, Rocco seems to just have it out for Elmo, and everyone else wants Elmo to “play along” for Zoe despite Rocco and Zoe constantly getting what they want while Elmo has to suffer.

Even when Elmo tries to just ignore Rocco and not bother, Zoe makes him say hello to a rock, and honestly I am Team Elmo in this situation.

Twitter is obsessed with this feud, talking about how Elmo keeps screaming “IT’S A ROCK” whenever Zoe tries to push the Rocco agenda on him.

You can try to keep your cool or you can embrace the energy of Elmo screaming about his hatred of Rocco. I’d say go full Elmo.
