There are few things Elmo seems to enjoy more than getting tickled, and on Sesame Street today, Academy Award-winner Lupita Nyong’o was happy to give Elmo what he wants.

In a scene that was both educational and endearing, the actress and mischievous red puppet discussed all the things human skin could do. You probably know all of these already, but a refresher never hurts.

It also must be mentioned that Nyong’o’s arms look perfectly toned. Her Pilates instructor/personal trainer deserves a big raise.

One final, creepier note: maybe it’s just our weird, twisted imagination at work, but isn’t this video just begging for a supercut with Buffalo Bill clips from The Silence of the Lambs?
