''The Elmo Shorts'', created by Newgrounds user [[https://mecagir.newgrounds.com mecagir]] is a series of shorts released on the website, Newgrounds. It stars Series/SesameStreet's lovable mascot, Elmo, amongst other characters such as Mathman and Doctor.

To summarize this particular internet phenomenon, the shorts are essentially expies of the famous web show ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''. The Elmo shorts feature the same NightmareFuel and BodyHorror. In virtually all episodes, Elmo or another character are doomed to suffer a merciless and gruesome death. These animations were somewhat popular, as they earned a fanbase, spawned a few interactive flash videos, and even gained a cult following. However, the series is currently on a halt as of 2011, and in 2013, the creator became inactive altogether.

** In the earlier shorts, Elmo and friends had more chances to speak proper dialogue while distinct stories were conveyed. In later episodes, a character spends most of their screen time getting tormented trying to accomplish a task. This format has briefly resurfaced again in the short "elmo the zombie".
