Seriously, when did this Elmo hate train start? Is it because he’s not Big Bird? Basically, resentment that he took over the show. And Elmo as face of Sesame Street coincides with it being dumbed down, or something.

Pretty much, the Elmo taking over the show part. He's annoying too, but he displaced so many other far better characters. For fans of Sesame Street before Elmo showed up, he's the worst.

I didn't really mind him that much, but he really did take over the show in a huge way, pushing many of the best muppets to the side in the process. I love most of the muppets. Elmo is an exception.

The people behind Elmo hate on the other hand loved trying to get Bert over by associating him with national and global atrocities (bertisevil.com)

Here's where someone says, "But it's not your show anymore! Kids now like Elmo, and we program Sesame for today's kids."

Bean Bunny is the Muppet who was in The Christmas Carol.
Apparently the people hated him as well which is why in every scene he's in he's suffering a mishap.

There's gotta be some irony for how people say they would do it for taking over the roles of Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, etc, but in-universe those characters would probably call me human garbage for hurting their friend and a child.

Isn't the intended audience for this show never going to watch it for long enough for anyone to take over anything?

If I’m not mistaken Bean Bunny is also a primary character in Muppets 3D at MGM Studios. The actual physical muppet appears in the balcony of the show I think. I love that little f***er! I could be wrong about this tho, it was 29 years ago I went to Disney World

It also does not help that the guy who originally performed him is a pedophile.
