I want to know more about the Count von Count

[core]

I've looking on the forum for the information about the Count, but it's a lot of work. I think it's more easy to start a topic about him.

I have many questions about him.

_I know onley the Dutch voice of him, but how sounds his original voyce by Jerry Nelson?
_I've read when Kami apears, he doesn't want to believe there is HIV on Sesamstreet: http://www.thesodajerks.com/jerks/muppet.html
But does he ever accept there exist HIV? (I hope so).
_But here I suppose he has got the realizes the concept of AIDS.

The Count: Counting Out of Control Muppet

The Count’s obsession with numerical order doesn’t stop there. Watch him lock and unlock his door, wash and rewash his hands, and keep every item in his castle meticulously cataloged. Children learn the truth about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and learn to recognize that the urge to know the precise number of bats in a castle is an early warning sign.

_And this text isn't clear for me. Is this the truth or is it a fanfic? Because I've understand Sesamstreet censured treats about sex.

He enjoys counting too much to have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

First of check out the Sesame Street Encylopedia http://www.angelfire.com/super2/sesameak/SesameC/TheCount.html

First of all if you have done a little more investigation you would know that the site that you have found are a comedy site. So this has nothing to do with anykind of fact.
The HIV puppet Kami are only used in the Sesame Street version in South Africa.

Again a comedy site.

Ah I see stupid from me. You've right.

Yes I know this site it's fantastic!
I have put it by my favourites for a long time ago.
But I don't still know how sounds the voice from Jerry Nelson when he speaks as the Count. Unfortunatly I haven't got the right program to listen about some songs of the Count on internet.
So how sounds his voice?

I'm not finished with my questions but I wait for a moment to put a big list.

A short wav so that you can hear what he sounds like.
Just right click and select "save as" or copy and paste the URL into a new window.

Have you ever seen someone do a Bela Lugosi/Dracula impersonation in English (and I don't mean Grandpa Munster)? Basically, a more excitable version of that.

No, I'm afraid I've ever hear it.

But Ihave fount concreet details about him.

...his only hobby he really enjoys the most is...counting....

Aha! mebe he isn't mariëd. These wimen/(girls?) are just good friends, are they?

He had two girlfriends Countess von Backwards and the Countess von Dahling. He keeps bats as his pets.

 

[The Count]

Glad to see that other more knowledgeable forum members than me have helped you sort out the untruths surrounding my namesake's legend.
The article about the character being/having OCD is a bit of a stretch frankly, and some health nut will probably make erroneous assumptions based solely on that.
Anyone remember the report on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart about the nutrinist who blamed Cookie Monster for appetite problems?

Anyway, Countess von Backwards and Countess Dahling van Dahling were brought in as two different girlfriends for the Count at two different points in SS's story arc.
Countess von Backwards has a necklace with the numbers 10 through to 0 hanging from it with the numbers streaming in backwards order from her right to her left shoulders.
Countess Dahling van Dahling is a more aristocratic character and has the numbers streaming in ascending order from 1 to 10 from her right to left shoulders.
The Count von Count has many pets, not just bats. There are five of them that have been named: Batty Bat as his most famous bat, Lubba from the storybook the Count Counts a Party!, Grischa and Mischa and Sascha from the segment where he counts bats with his counting organ, and Tattiana from another such segment.
He also has a pet cat named Fatatatita, some spiders, and some other castle-bound animals seen/heard of in a sweet lullaby sung by the Count himself.
I'd suggest you contact Justin Faulknor and try to get at least a sound sampling of the Count's voice to help you out. If he can't, then try Warrick or ssetta or other forum members with access to links to sound sampling websites.
Hope this helps and have a vonderful veekend!
