On “Saturday Night Live,” one skit mocked the ongoing feud between Elmo and Rocco.

In 2004, Elmo was upset when Zoe gave her pet rock, Rocco, the last oatmeal raisin cookie.

History repeated itself in the last episode of “SNL.”

Michael Che brought on “Elmo,” who was played by Chloe Fineman.

When Che said the new “SNL” host and musical guest, Elmo was NOT happy.

[{"selector":"#anim-c4e972f3-1faf-4b81-a7cc-2bd5d64d9faa","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

“Elmo feel like Elmo going insane here,” Elmo said.

[{"selector":"#anim-0f72d188-ecc8-4f99-a420-5d579bace6af","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

When Che gives Rocco a cookie, Elmo wants one too.

After he was told that was the last one, Elmo loses his cool.

[{"selector":"#anim-1f55a744-c5b8-45ee-bb50-22b7780096be","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.01)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.999)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

That’s it. Paper cover rock!” Elmo shouts. “Prepare to die, Rocco!”
