I always called it Hellmo, but the meme is actually called "Elmo Rise."
Hellmo is way better imo
There is also an old Jhonen Vasquez (Invader Zim author) comic where he does a bit about a "tickle me hellmo". I always think about it when this Elmo meme comes up
I call it saint elmo's fire

Stucco and food coloring, cause then the kid gets to keep it afterwards.
Making me feel old....
Hellmo, making sure that the kid knows this is peak life right here. Someone feeds you, someone wipes your ass. But tomorrow, well tomorrow you’re on your own. Hellmo welcomes you.
