- Elmo's World is a segment on Sesame Street starring Elmo. It ran consistently from Season 30 to Season 37 (and less regularly through Season 42). Each segment, or episode, runs approximately 20-minutes long following the same, basic format. Regular features include inserts featuring the Noodle Family, Elmo asking questions of a baby and email messages which feature other Sesame Street regulars. The segment takes place in a crayon-drawn apartment.
- Elmo then started his career as a mass murderer. He continued this career for years, and soon his blue fur turned red after being stained with so much blood. Due to being possessed by Jack the Ripper, Elmo usually targeted women that he came across, though he would happily kill their husbands if they ever tried to stop him...which they all failed miserably.
- Long-time writer Judy Freudberg came up with the concept of "Elmo's World", and writer Tony Geiss and executive producer Arlene Sherman helped develop it. Instead of the realism of the rest of the show, the segment presented Elmo moving between and combining two worlds of live action and computer-generated animation, which looked like "a child's squiggly crayon drawing come to life" created by the host, and with "a stream-of-consciousness feel to it". Elmo's pet goldfish Dorothy and the members of the Noodle family were silent in order to allow Elmo to do all the talking, and to give children the opportunity to respond to what they saw on the screen.

- Elmo then started his career as a mass murderer. He continued this career for years, and soon his blue fur turned red after being stained with so much blood. Due to being possessed by Jack the Ripper, Elmo usually targeted women that he came across, though he would happily kill their husbands if they ever tried to stop him...which they all failed miserably. However, he soon grew fascinated with the children that he also encountered and they soon became a major subject of his kills. The kills garnered much controversy around Fisher-Price who had accidentally brought this monster into the world. But Fisher-Price didn't mind, they were the subject of many newspaper articles and media attention, they ate this all up. There were many attempts by complete and utterly stupid people (including the aforementioned husbands) to put Elmo down, but all who tried to stop him met a bloody and horrible fate. At one point, Elmo devised a horrible plan to kill Mr. Hooper, simply because he forgot to pay him once when he decided to work for him as a grocery bagger. He murdered Mr. Hooper's wife along with her boyfriend Jim Henson by using a shotgun while they were making out in Hooper's bedroom. Since the police were stupid, they magically assumed that Mr. Hooper had murdered his wife rather than Elmo (even though he had written with his crayon "Elmo Wuz Here" on the wall) and he was sentenced to be executed by the electric chair. Mr. Hooper tried to escape from prison using a sewer pipe, but Elmo thwarted his attempt by using his toilet to take a massive diarrhea dump, causing him to nearly drown in the Muppet's foul excrement. During his execution, Elmo swiped the sponge that was needed to give Mr. Hooper a merciful execution while the executioner was off to take a bathroom break, causing him to die a horrible and painful death. He immediately giggled like a schoolgirl.

- Elmos World is a minie show on Sesame Street that stars Elmo.
- Elmo's World is a show-within-a-show that has been airing at the tail end of each Sesame Street episode since 1998. Elmo's World segments were produced from 1998 to 2009 and have been airing on new Sesame Street episodes ever since. The Elmo's World segment focuses on one subject throughout its 10-minute course, and numerous skits, anecdotes, puns and other gags all center on that subject. The routine is almost entirely rigid, so it's only proper that the tropes start off with...
* Once an Episode:
* The theme song kicks everything off, of course. "Lala, lala... lala, lala... Elmo's World..."
* Elmo reveals the subject of the day (hereinafter referred to as "Subject X").
* A 30-second clip montage relating to Subject X is shown.
* "Dorothy's been thinking about (Subject X) too!" Elmo says as a small model pertaining to Subject X is shown inside Dorothy's fishbowl.
* "Dorothy has a question: How do you (do something involving Subject X)"? First, Elmo asks Mr. Noodle, who tries, in a very slapstick manner, to do it.
* Next, a few kids demonstrate how it's done.
* Finally, Elmo wants to ask a baby. Elmo goes over to the baby and asks him/her how to (do something involving Subject X), who more often than not does nothing in response.
* "And now, Elmo has a question fooooor YOU!" ...and it's a counting quiz involving Subject X.
* An animated computer may prance in at this point and declare that "Elmo has mail!" Elmo then reads an e-mail from one of his Muppet friends.
* An animated end table (named "Drawer") then tosses out a "do random things have/do Subject X" quiz. Almost always a birthday cake and a random Sesame Street character are involved.
* Next is a slice-of-life segment where a child did something related to Subject X, and that child "told Elmo all about it!"
* Elmo then wants to find out more about Subject X; at that point, an animated television saunters in so Elmo can watch "The (Subject X) Channel" and a short animated segment. (Many a time it's "The Boy/Girl Who Loved (Subject X).")
* How can Elmo find out even MORE about Subject X? In comes a Muppet related to Subject X for a discussion.
* The discussion is interrupted by Dorothy imagining Elmo in a situation involving Subject X. In this segment, Elmo may take on the form of any animal, nationality or profession.
* Finally, everyone sings "The (Subject X) Song", which is the word/phrase of Subject X sung over and over to the tune of "Jingle Bells". Other tropes appearing in Elmo's World:
* Animate Inanimate Objects: The door, the window shade, the TV, the computer and the one-drawer end table (a.k.a. "Drawer").
* Babies Make Everything Better: "Elmo wants to ask a baby!"
* Cloudcuckoolander: Elmo, of course, along with his neighbor Mr. Noodle.
* Coincidental Broadcast: Elmo's TV just happens to be tuned to the channel of whatever Elmo's thinking about. (Examples: "The Teeth Channel", "The Building Things Channel", "The Frog Channel" and yes, "The Weather Channel".
* On the episode about skin, the TV shows the "All About Skin Channel". Evidently "The Skin Channel" sounded too porno-ish for a children's TV show.
* Door Roulette: What's Elmo thinking about today? Most often after pontificating this, he'll go to the door behind him, open it... and either get run over by Muppet animals or people, have a wall of objects fall on him, or be confronted by a random snippet of video.
* Everything's Better with Dinosaurs: Yes, there's a "dinosaur" episode.
* Everything's Better with Penguins: As well as one entirely devoted to penguins.
* Excited Kids' Show Host: Elmo.
* The Fool: Mr. Noodle, who has no idea of how to perform a simple task, and has to be guided by Elmo to get it done correctly.
* Getting Crap Past the Radar: The subject: Balls. Take your pick.
* Subverted at the end when Elmo's "ball song" repeats the singular "ball" over and over.
* Jerkass (as Jerkass as it can be in a preschooler-oriented program, anyway): The Drawer likes to knock Elmo down in the process of getting out the photo quiz.
* No Fourth Wall
* Open the Door and See All the People: Especially "Friends" and "Singing."
* Planet of Steves: The apartment next door to Elmo, where you'll find Mr. Noodle, "Mr. Noodle's brother Mr. Noodle", and occasionally "Mr. Noodle's sister Ms. Noodle". And their first names are never mentioned.
* Rearrange the Song: At the end of the episode, Elmo plays "Jingle Bells" on his piano... however, the lyrics are just "water, water, water... water, water, water..." or "hands, hands, hands... hands, hands, hands..." or (repeated ad nauseum) words to that effect.
* Strictly Formula: Indeed. The order of some of the routines is switched up in a handful of episodes, however.
* They Who Must Not Be Seen: During the Mr. Noodle and photo quiz segments, a couple of kids are heard (but never seen) coaching Mr. Noodle and responding to the quiz, respectively.
* Third Person Person: Elmo, to the extreme. "Excuse Elmo." "...and Elmo is Elmo!"
* Lampshaded in the "Letter R Mystery" sketch during the regular portion of Sesame Street.
- Elmo's World is a satanic demonic place ruled by Elmo. It was the place Nobody wanted. It was the place that Elmo taught kids how to kill. It was the main headquarters for the Elmo Gang and the primary recruitment center. It was also considered to be the most dangerous place in Sesame Street.
- Elmo's World is a segment on Sesame Street starring Elmo. It ran consistently from Season 30 to Season 37 (and less regularly through Season 42). Each segment, or episode, runs approximately 20-minutes long following the same, basic format. Regular features include inserts featuring the Noodle Family, Elmo asking questions of a baby and email messages which feature other Sesame Street regulars. The segment takes place in a crayon-drawn apartment. Each segment focuses on a specific topic - ranging from Balls or Jackets to Fast and Slow or Hands. The segments follow a series of skits and interviews centered on that topic. The skits and interviews are essentially the same every day, only changing the subject matter. Production on new installments of Elmo's World was discontinued by 2009, and the segment was replaced by Elmo the Musical starting with season 43 (2012). However, Elmo's World segments still appear in rerun episodes as well as new video releases. Modified versions of past segments were reintroduced to the show in season 46. Season 47 re-introduced the segment (alternatively referred to as "Elmo's Wonderful World"), with 26 all-new episodes, now 5 minutes in length. Each five-minute segment features Elmo in a newly designed "world," still accompanied by Mr. Noodle and Dorothy, but joined by Smartie, an animated smartphone.
