Sesame Street - The Count counts Ernies Blocks

[wabankik]

...I Remember an episode The Count also cast a spell on Grover in his Resturant ~woi~yo~yong~"Bring Me More Hot Dogs!"..., "Yes Sir!",...Bert Reminds me of Squidward!

[atfatw]

tar and feather burt and ernie and all the other felts and run them out of town!!!! dig up jim henson gnarly self and run that out of town on a rail too!

[TheOnlineCandyCane]

Many Sesame Street characters that we grew up with haven't had that many appearances on the recent episodes anyways. It's mainly just Elmo, Telly, Zoe, Rosita, Baby Bear, Oscar, and Abby Cadabby.

Heck, even Big Bird and Snuffy has made fewer appearances by comparison, and that should say something.

Sesame Street gets rid of The Count...but let's Michelle Obama on the show?

[Omardtown1]

Have you noticed for some strange reason he says 6 alot

[lowbugetmovies]

I'm tottaly drunkend nd thiz is teh best stuff i evar seenz. *passes out*

[GlambertAngel13]

This is from back when Sesame Street was worth watching. If Jim could see what they've done to his poor creation today he'd be spinning in his grave, BRING BACK THE COUNT!!! (and while ur at it get rid of that dememted pink fairy thing)

[WilyKat76]

@GlambertAngel13 Did they get rid of the count? LAME!

[GlambertAngel13]

@WilyKat76 yeah, they've got this orange thing called 'Murry' doing the # of the day -_-

[Galentw]

Do you know why they call me the Cunt? Because I love to *beep* things.

[phatalbert73]

The blocks look like giant Starburst.

[YodaBannon]

the count is the pimp!

[AFGSANFORD2]

@Cuteblondie1972 I remember that clip , he told Grover "go...go and bring me another hot dog". Then it went in fast forward speed. It was really funny!

[frickfrock999]

Everytime I see the Count now, I keep thinking of that Dave Chapelle routine 

[YodaBannon]

the count is the pimp!

[GodzillaGriffin]

use the Force count

[psychalysis]

Ernie's a freemason!

[themaritimeman]

I love the sinister chuckle The Count had in 1972, as opposed to the "ah ah ah!" he utters now.

[Tarudizer]

SILENCE

[DismalSpectre00]

It's lucky the Count was after those blocks and not Bert and Ernie. Those two should be grateful.

[OnlineButterfly]

I wonder if this was the only sketch that showed his ability to stun other characters, because lot of the other early episodes of that season don't really have any info.

[jimmyboy7817]

@OnlineButterfly Actually there was one other time when the Count used hypnotic powers on another and that was on Grover. In one of Grover's restaurant sketches, the Count orders hotdogs just so he can count them. Grover, the waiter is reluctant to get more when he discovers the Count isn't actually eating the hotdogs, so The Count hypnotises him into getting more and more until he wears out.

[oscarinthetrashcan]

I think this is the Count's Debut

[OnlineButterfly]

@oscarinthetrashcan Indeed it is. This part is of the Season 4 premiere when Sam the Robot and The Count are introduced.

[pheonix442]

How many times is he gonna count the blocks? Haha

[SethBlizzard]

This is brilliant. The way the Count stuns Bert and Ernie, the organ music... hilarious. "Silence! I am counting," is actually one of my favourite Sesame Street quotes.

[d72jjpilc]

SILENCE! The Count's ability to mesmerize others gave a nice touch to early Sesame Street Muppet clips, not to mention the 'spooky' Eastern European music that accompanied his entry, exit, and counting. No offense, I hope!

[Garrettk41]

I'm looking for the clip with Ernie turning the letter P into the letter R. Can anyone accomodate me?

[AnthonyP73]

Silence!!

[smileybone3010]

the count had his stun ability phased out pretty early apparently

[BanJoKazoowi]

2:10 I love how the count uses the Force on bert and ernie

[XMyChemicalFallOutX]

LOLi love the way the count dude somes in

[caitlinjane92]

The parts where Count zones Bert and Ernie out made me nearly die of laughter!

[tc41986]

whats with his laugh, its not the same...

[wabankik]

Howd the Waffen ss comandant sneak in on those two morons?

[afgc55]

"It is difficult... to count these blocks... in a pile."

Damn, this show is still totally awesome even after 17 years without out. Hell, it's probably funnier now then it was before.

[PetLadybug]

the Count must have had OCD - cause he decides to come back & count the blocks again

[SidJustice1]

ROFL!

[smallybappa1989]

LOOOL. Did u actually see the way Count appeared. LOOOL.

[MarioGirl03]

OMG Bernie and Ernie are having heart attacks!

[MarioGirl03]

"...because I like to count things!"

"I know.."

XD

[setheurovision94]

"Silence! I am counting." One of my favourite lines from the whole show. :D

[procrazedfan]

This is when the Count was Bad***

[LincolnHeightsrocks]

Wow! The Count was a mean Fucker back then!

[YodaBannon]

the count is the ultimate PIMP!

[Harriyama]

Ever relise that the number 6 is said 3 times.

plus the thunderbolt in the background in the sign of the devil, look it up

[LordOfAllFevrsNPlags]

woah...

[troysson81]

You mean in a row?

It was only twice, buddy.

[rashad4550]

SILENCE!! hahaha

[SidJustice1]

The Count owns Ernie & Bert...Gotta love Old School S.S..

[postmann1000]

hehe han er mini

[skrag2112]

I love this version of the Count! He just yells "Silence!" and zones out Bert. Thats funny!

[videoguy100]

It's a good thing that I wasn't born until 1985, before then, the Count became friendlier just as he as is today, making him be one of my favorite characters from Sesame Street. Anyway, thank you for posting this.

[wiley207]

The Count has really changed since 1972. And unlike most Muppets, he has always been performed by Jerry Nelson from the start. Also, another thing about this early Count is how everything changes color when the lightning flashes!

[ISNorden]

I know of only one other sketch that showed the Count acting this evil and scary: at Charlie's Restaurant, he hypnotized Grover into bringing more and more hot dogs. Of course, the Count didn't plan to *eat* them... I'm glad CTW decided to tone him down, though; having a character like this teach numbers would make a lot of kids fear/hate math!

[TherealRNO]

ISNorden: And a lot of kids hate math anyway.

[Garrettk41]

And I was no exception.

[gomiwomi]

I've been looking for that clip for a long time......
