That’s not a tickle, that’s an electric shock!

Over on YouTube, there’s a trend of people taking childrens’ toys and blowing them up using excessive voltage. On the site, you can see a host of videos of people applying excessive power to kids’ toys, which causes them to freak-out, glitch and eventually die a dramatic death.

None of these toys’ deaths are more dramatic than the one of Tickle Me Elmo. In the clip, you can see Elmo slowly begin to lose his sanity, eventually culminating with him staring off into the sky while making a pronounced droning sound. After a few too many drinks, I can relate.
