pov: you're jack black and you need to find an octagon but elmo keeps showing you a stop sign

@Felthry one time Jack Black was on sesame street to teach the kids about octogons but he realised he forgot to bring one with him

so he was going to go find one but elmo popped up holding a stop sign

and Jack was very confused like "if i stop, how am i supposed to find an octogon?"

this is an effective use of dramatic irony, as the audience knows that elmo is presenting the stop sign as an example of an octogon, while Jack believes elmo is simply in his way

anyway the internet memed the hell out of it

@monorail@glaceon.social @Felthry@awoo.space God you gave me very Lemony Snicket vibes there and I re-read the whole thing in Patrick Warburton's voice
