Morgan Freeman as Count Dracula on The Electric Company

[ChiefBrodyRules]

Get busy livin’, or get busy dyin'

[Ceelea1]

I remember the Electric Company. When I saw Easy Rider, I thought he was the coolest man ever!. Now, that I am older and seen Easy Rider become one of the best actors I have ever seen, I am proud to have seen this show. Easy Rider was the reason why my brother picked up a book because he wanted to be cool like him. Funny how things change and what kids think is cool now.

[togonumber]

@Ceelea1 HUH WHAT ? WAS THE ELCTRIC COMPANY SORT OF LIKE

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE ?

[nevahj]

awe  + some

awesome!

[melco921]

Count Blackula

[WAKEUPshift111]

a little morose for a children's show, but it's Morgan Freeman!

[nebutron]

Yeah...I remember "Easy Reader", too. Those were the days.

[PrFiasco]

I first saw this during the Golden Globes and it had me dying lol. Morgan Freeman is great :)

[togonumber]

@PrFiasco yeah me too,i thought it was cool and pretty scare actually .

[stephlove1984]

LMAO I saw this while watching the Golden Globes

[Silverfenix2456]

He was young at some point!!!!!!!!

[HereticsRight]

You know Frank, you could say... *sunglasses on* that he was dead tired of being dirty. YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[ana1sninja]

I love The Electric Company! "Hey you guys!"

[monkeysoulpoet]

I saw this before it was on The Golden Globes....

(Takes off hipster glasses)

[boogityboy]

19 people dont like baths.

[jmichelle1974]

This is how I was first introduced to Morgan Freeman. I love him and was so proud he was honored for his work last night!

[johnosahon]

this was the ONLY interesting thing that happened in the golden globe, it was boring as usual.

[crashman6]

My forever favorite and Idol is Easy Reader! Thanks Morgan for inspiring me to embrace reading and learning!

[daemonMOD1]

Nelik500, 1990's Mike Myers called, he wants his sense of humor back...

[WhiteXeon]

240p we meet again

[neilk500]

So glad nobody has said "240p we meet again!"...............dammit

[NFScripp]

yesterday this video had 332k ... so some are global watchers... hope they are intelligent too. and not kids... don't dis morgan on my watch. He's pro actor. everyone starts somewhere.

[NFScripp]

this make the internet legit... its the only way we would all see this... 8 track tapes... cassettes ... all died... vhs...

but this is here on the internet. He must love this. His first job and he was getting paid guys so you wish you had that job back then.

Don't dis on this performance. He was the VAMPIRE on electric Company. and did a great job back then and perfected his craft to become one of the greatest actors of our time.

Kudo's Morgan. Much Respect.

[dalizagold123]

Award shows are basically pointless to watch (it is all advertising for movies that I will never watch) but I sit there for three hours watching away BECAUSE there is always that one moment that is ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS... AND THIS IS IT!!! When he starts scrubing his leg I DIED LMAO!



[wadefulp]

W T F

[Gamecrazy009]

Golden Globes, that is all

[NFScripp]

@Gamecrazy009 he got the award for a reason ... they only showed this so us that are old enough to remember it .. can put it into context. He didn't just pop out as a star he has been around for generations.

One of the best actors in Hollywood and a professional. They all started somewhere. And we all love him as the vampire in a casket. Don't we?

congratulations Morgan Freeman for a lifetime of achievements. Some that even kids that post here don't know about until now. LOVE

[MsAnonymous103]

what a voice (applause)

[PoodlePowa]

was he ever young?

[LisaSpringfield]

He is a good singer too!

Btw, this song sounds like Those were the Days by Engelbert Humperdinck.

[Hirnlego999]

Brilliant

[MoulonStooge]

19 people would rather be creamated than buried in a casket.

[Shippoyasha]

PBS can definitely use more programming like this, giving life to virtual unknowns and nobodies that can result in legends.

[LaNcEdApAnTz]

nice rendition of the Transylvanian Tango :P

[theanonymousx]

Wait a minute, hold on, hold ON... so he likes to take a bath where now?

[MrPibi]

I think he likes to take a bath in a casket

[Sean1109]

My argument is now invalid I think.

[xxxElegatorxxx]

Fantastic! Hee hee hee

[yantm24]

this is a porno

[AGentertainment]

This is going to become a meme... I know it...

[Stavros175ish]

What the fuck am i watching

[xoxkitten01]

@Stavros175ish Morgan Freeman as Count Dracula on The Electric Company, singing about the joys of taking a bath in a casket.

[2NerdsSquared]

@tallflowergirl I know, right?

[MrJoeqpublic]

That's some scary s*&%

[boa910]

He is the best ...Hands down from the 1960s til today....A geniune pionneer in acting.

[tallflowergirl]

Golden Globes XD

[jparso3]

Morgan Freeman is still more of a bad-ass vampire then the twilight vampires

[carlwinslow66]

[togonumber]

@carlwinslow66 HA HA FOR REAL HUH ?

[NFScripp]

[MissONTM]

[Arkipelago2]

[xa25]

[sleepyskunk]

This video is now trending on Twitter

[PrincessOtaku77]

I just saw this on Golden Globes. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it.

[riceeatingflip]

Haha! Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award Winner! Haha!

[DerBomber1992]

LOL

[GeGeMus12]

This is fucking legendary

[PiratePowell]

Like if the Golden Globes brought you here!

[TheJackel54130]

@PiratePowell I was in total shock when I saw this last night. But I guess early in your career you have to start somewhere. It was good to see him in something lighthearted.

[togonumber]

@TheJackel54130 funny golden globes moment

[lizdylanboykie]

yep saw it on the golden globes too! lol!

[DoubleAAProduction88]

Golden Globes, thank you!

[chocolateislove]

OMG

[GeGeMus12]

I saw this in the Golden Globes montage of him haha!

[Codogcodog]

GOLDEN GLOBES ANYONE??!?!?!?!?

[d3athfr0mab0v3]

I fucking lol'd.

[DoveLady]

it was so wrong on the golden globes i HAD to see it again.

[Wakkowolf]

Just saw this on the golden globes.

[Badfinger4]

@Wakkowolf Me too.

[woolent1994]

that sucked , wow (no pun intended)

[progrock1991]

LET'S DO THIS!!!!

[renabenaworld]

woooow this is so diffrent from the new electric company!!!

[PunPuniChu]

I've got the weirdest boner right now ):

[MiHiVidz]

Yes folks. This man just received the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes this month.

[smcm12242314jp]

it's the cat from Red Dwarf

[sumame47]

@smcm12242314jp Morgan Freeman was never in Red Dwarf. You're thinking of Danny John-Jewels.

[libertatus]

To this day Morgan Freeman prefers to bathe in a casket. Seriously though, how could anyone -dislike- this? I loved this show as a kid.

[Vortigern99]

This is unmitigated genius.

[Trixpins]

I'm not to sure what I watched...

[The4EverYoung85]

@Trixpins It's been 2 years since I first saw this (SomethingAwful (dot) com mentioned this) and I still think this way.

[Trixpins]

@The4EverYoung85

I think there is some hidden message in this...

I'm not to sure what it is...

[PorkIsHalal]

They don't make children shows like this anymore

[The4EverYoung85]

@PorkIsHalal They don't have the guts to. Too many soccer moms and moral guardians would freak over this (they already did with Katy Perry and that dress she wore on Sesame Street. This would cause a coronary). And you know what I'd say: let 'em. Yeah, it's creepy and a little weird, but kids in their learning phase wouldn't understand until they're older.

[rhsharp]

The Electric Company inspired me to create my own Emmy-Award winning children's series, Math Park. Check it out.

[jpena412]

The original Blacula

[Vortigern99]

@jpena412 Heh, yeah, Morgan Freeman is still the only black Dracula actually named "Dracula".

[JamiJR]

@Vortigern99 Though in one sketch he was Vincent The Vegetable Vampire.

[GeminiBreaker]

Lucias Fox sings as a vampire, Batman sings Powerpuff Girls, Bane raps. I'm starting to think Nolan is making The Dark Knight Rises a musical.

[TastyTacoBoy]

I used to love this show!

[sumixam666]

I don't know what the point of this is, but if Morgan Freeman is subliminally telling me to buy a casket, I'm going to the mortuary right now!

[Shanesgrandma]

The first time I saw this, me and my friend were super high looking at morgan freeman on youtube (because Half Life and another show he's in) And we came across this. We tripped out hard and I love this video ever since.

<3 Morgan Freeman

[demigawd]

"Some like it in a bathtub

Others have tried a sink

but I'm wishing to be washing in something that's soft and lined with pink"

You're such a perv, Morgan.

[DefendedHomestand]

Wait does he drain that thing? How does he sleep?

[The4EverYoung85]

@DefendedHomestand Don't try to find any logic in this. It's supposed to be for kids, but then again, that's what I always thought about the Looney Tunes cartoons, and both this and the LT cartoons spelled the end of the innocent side of my childhood. R.I.P (1985 to 2011).

[DefendedHomestand]

@The4EverYoung85 lol I was kidding. I had the same thought patterns as a kid, finding something that wouldnt add up or make sence at all. It was entertaining for me. Guess I gave it another go at this one. lol I know the electric company is for kids! who else would it be for?

[redivivus8]

Why is God taking a bath in a casket?

[JamiJR]

@redivivus8 Because George Burns (the original God - and also the original Devil) kicked him out of the shower. 

[The4EverYoung85]

@JamiJR Heyo!

[The4EverYoung85]

I can't believe no one brought up the fact that PBS got away with this, yet they censored out Katy Perry appearing on Sesame Street because of that dress she wore (which, yes, was a tad risque, but not enough to warrant a ban). Is this a case of censorship becoming more stringent between the 1970s and the 21st century or your typical double standard between men and women?

[JamiJR]

@The4EverYoung85 Things are just more stringent then they were in the 70s. Go look up the animated TEC skit Happy Birthday Miss Jones. Then there's all the G-rated moives from then and earlier that actually showed adults smoking and drink. And let's not forget what they did to Cookie Monster.

[The4EverYoung85]

@JamiJR I knew it. This is why I love the cartoons and TV shows of yesteryear (though there are a few today that thumb their nose at censorship -- or try to, at least).

[unit694]

Morgan Freeman is a vampire taking a bubble bath.

This renders your argument invalid.

[doobiesmoke15]

So is this where they got the inspiration for Blacula?

[Mascherina1964]

How does he breathe when his casket is closed? (Yes, I know it's not closed for a long time, but....) Just a stupid question.

[nickpelkey]

Kristen Stewart/Bella couldn't handle this vamp. Lets take vampires back from the Mormon's and make them sexy and dangerous again. No more of the sparkly, impotent, I need to knock door to door before we can make out type. The best thing we have is the UK (original) version of Being Human. Dude is no Blacula but has a troubled INXS vibe.

[om00do]

some vampires like it in a bathtub, others have tryed the sink.

now that's relly funny.



[whatuswattingat]

GOD, I'M SO DAMN OLD!

[bowiekitten]

OMG! This little goth girl can finally, finally die happy! I'm still not sure, but this may even put the Sesame Street Count's "Batty Bat" to shame!

[starsandbarsforever]

i never knew that morgan freemen was dracula in TEC, until i looked this up here. i use to watch this show all the time when i was 5, and morgan as dracula use to scare the shit out of me. i do not know why, but hey! i was 5.

[0MakeMeWannaDie0]

This is scarier than twilight

[VAAMusicalMike]

He looks like Eddie Murphy here.

[MartyBlois]

What you all just saw is Blade in retirement.

[northernbluebear]

just imagine what an opium-induced crack party this was to write. must have been epic good times.

[MusicPheend]

@northernbluebear -- funny!!

[motherbrain86]

was the stock wolf howl at the end, they used that numerous times in sesame street

[tokutom]

lol so weird i love it

[sha11235]

He ain't Blackula, I'll tell you that.

[aigomar]

Morgan Freeman wasn't the only person who portrayed Dracula. There were also other actors who played the vampire character, like Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, Jack Palance, Frank Langella and Gary Oldman.

[Katingaan]

@aigomar But how many of them were vampires who SING while taking a BATH? =P

[Katingaan]

Morgan Freeman as a singing vampire...

I think I'm in heaven.

[aigomar]

@Katingaan It's too bad Morgan Freeman wasn't fried to a crisp by the sunlight like Frank Langella was back in 1979!

[Dragonstorm787]

@camcreese

Thank you for a kind defense camcreese.

Frankly, there's no need to give this guy any attention anyway, if all he's doing is going around picking fights at random.

[texasghost]

You think he regrets some of his past acting appearances? Hell...he should have regretted doing The Bucket List.

[AzukaraMegaDriver]

Screw anything else in Freeman's career, this exact scene is his greatest triumph.

[weepaul666]

He takes his showers in a what? lmao

[werewindwolf]

@weepaul666

.. in a grave.

[weepaul666]

lmao. One question... WHY FREEMAN, WHY? I'm scarred for life...

[JayRod4611]

I came to see Vincent the vegetable vampire, courtesy of the distressed watcher

[Johnstamoshavemercy]

@Dragonstorm787

Stop asking for thumbs up you fucking loser.

[pandorina]

OMG I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS AS A KID! forgive my shouting I am just so AMAZED!!!

[daveKoRnfan]

this is awsome lol some people will say this is his embarresing moment as an a list actor but NO!!!! hes awsome in everything

[JimmyColls]

@daveKoRnfan 'I don't know. Every man has his breaking point'

[Nick3889]

Morgan Freeman is GOD 

[ladyayesha]

Morgan Freeman > You

[bagelboi66]

When I was six this was funny as heck.

[theantiquegarage]

Blackula

[domvasta]

that' actually a coffin, a casket is rectangular, the coffin is an elongated hexagon like he is in

[nebbywoo]

Any way to get this song as an MP3?

[WarshipAngelus]

WTF? /(*_*)\ 

[TheGlitchexpert]

what does he do at night? gay vampires drink cow blood like Edward on twilight the deppressed guy

[ConnDevi88]

Is that blood on his chest or his cape?

[hack451]

Electric company? Never heard of it.

It has a wierd Seseme Street vibe.

[The4EverYoung85]

@hack451: Yeah, if Sesame Street aired after midnight on HBO or Cinemax.

[mccarrpo]

That black guy is scary.

[Sil]

@mccarrpo That black guy is Morgan Freeman..
