Jet engine disintegrates Tickle Me Elmo in viral video

It's a safe bet that Elmo isn't laughing after this.

YouTube user PowerModz decided to take the beloved children's toy, Tickle Me Elmo, strap it to a pole and fire up the 2,500-horsepower jet engine in the back of a pick-up truck. According to Nerdist.com, as most would have predicted, poor little Elmo was blasted into pieces within seconds.

The results are strangely fascinating and creepy at the same time.

The video was uploaded last year but has been making the internet rounds this week.

Note: You may not want to show the kids this one. Just sayin'.
