Changes: Rocco

Revision as of 04:46, 4 November 2019

Zoe and Elmo at Rocco's wedding, in a 2014 episode.

Rocco is Zoe's pet rock, introduced in Season 30 of Sesame Street. Though he's inanimate, in Zoe's mind, Rocco can do anything. The rock has historically been the cause of much annoyance to Elmo, who often gets flustered and constantly reminds Zoe "Rocco's just a rock!" While Elmo is driven crazy by Rocco's (and Zoe's) antics, the other characters are usually unfazed and willing to play along with Zoe's pretending. In Episode 4235, Elmo accidentally loses Rocco and comes to realize how special he is to Zoe (much like Elmo's Baby David).

Rocco's friends and family appear in Episode 4126, including Rocky, Rockmaninov, Uncle Rock, Aunt Rock, and Little Rock; it is unknown if he has other family members.

Rocco appeared in Sesame Street Live production "Super Grover! Ready for Action". Zoe mentioned Rocco in a 2009 appearance on Today.

The Sesame Park episode "Rocky and His Friends" introduced a Canadian equivalent of Rocco.

-'''Rocco''' is [[Zoe]]'s pet rock. It was introduced in [[Season 30 (1998-1999)|Season 30]] of ''[[Sesame Street]]''. [[Elmo]] doesn't understand why Zoe lugs a rock around, and sometimes feels jealous of Rocco.  A lot of times Elmo feels that Zoe is always getting her way with a rock.  For example, if Elmo wants to say the alphabet with Zoe, Zoe says to Elmo, "Elmo, Rocco doesn't want to say the alphabet, he wants to go to the park" where Elmo knows that it's Zoe who doesn't want to say the alphabet which makes Elmo very angry with Zoe's behavior.
