'Game of Thrones' Fans React to Elmo's Sit-Down With Cersei and Tyrion Lannister
Lessons from "Sesame Street" aren't just for kids -- they're even applicable to the adults battling for control of the Seven Kingdoms.
HBO released a "Game of Thrones"-themed "Sesame Street" video as part of the kids' show's 50th anniversary celebration campaign "Respect Brings Us Together." The spoof teaches a lesson about respect using well-known characters -- Elmo, Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), and Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) -- and a lot of fans were into it. They shared some hilarious reactions on Twitter on Thursday, including some wild fan theories, ranging from Elmo being the Night King to this clip being how the show really ends.
First, here's the video:
And now, a selection of the tweets on the topic:

So the Night Elmo just wants everyone to be friends and stay together forever. I can support this theory.
