Fisher-Price T.M.X. Tickle Me Ernie

My 3 year old son loves Ernie. He also has the greatest laugh in the world. So it was reasonable to assume he would love Tickle Me Ernie. Well he did and does and we all have a blast watching him tickle and tackle Ernie and laugh. He has gone into 10 minute laughing streaks and it just makes everyone else around here laugh too. It's very contagious.He has had it for about 2 months and been pretty rough with it. There is no significant damage other than a frayed seam on one hand. Put into context that is really good considering he carries it on his tricycle (I've seen it drop out and get dragged too), up and down stairs and did I mention he likes to tackle Ernie and bear hug him while he's laughing.We just purchased a second one as a birthday present for one of his pals. It has already met this friend's approval while visiting our house for playtime. I know this is a hit and highly recommend it for this age group.

The Tickle Me Ernie is great. It made me laugh when I opened the package. I am a dad and an uncle. It is my job to check the toys for safety and potential dangers. You know, choking, way too much lead paint, maniacal laughter that may cause light headness and possibility of passing out. I found no small pieces that could cause choking. I licked the toy a few times and tasted no lead. The only warning I can give is...Ernie's laugh is contagious, so when the little guy falls down and tries to stand and then rolls to his side and your kids start laughing, it is over! I defy you to try to keep a straight face! I was cracking up, and I was alone. I played with it so much that I had to replace the batteries before wrapping it up. The only better toy is The Tickle Me Coookie Monster. Elmo might as well retire. There are 2 new sherriffs in town!

Broke within 1 week

Well, I bought this one on sale because I love the blue Cookie Monster that's kind of similar to this one. But it's not as much fun as the Cookie monster. My son pretty much ignores it. I would recommend getting the Cookie monster instead.

Not as fun as Tickle me elmo.The toy is very durable and appearance is good. And the voice is not is not good.I bought it for 25$ bucks sold by a different merchant in amazon. It is worth the price but not as fun as elmo

He even makes me laugh. My little one tries to roll and laugh along with him. Super good quality and very durable! Shipping was fast and well packaged!

I had been a tickle me elmo fan but decided to try this one and my baby brother loooves it. It is funny and hilarious. I think Ernie is funnier looking than Elmo so i laugh harder. But the same effect in the end. Cute and laughter contagious.

We have the Tickle Me Elmo and our 21 month old loves it, so my husband ordered Tickle Me Ernie thinking it'd make a great addition. Ack! Ernie scared the crap out of our son! Unlike Elmo, he doesn't have a cute little laugh and shake. Tickle Me Ernie is, for lack of a better word, possessed. He spins on the floor and shakes like he's having a seizure, then jumps back up, freaking the hell out of you. Perhaps this is just me. It looks like lots of other reviewers here love this thing. But my idea of fun (and my son's, apparently), is not epilepsy Ernie.
