Voice behind Sesame Street's Count Von Count dies.

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Well if this weekend didn't have enough sad news with Armstrong's death, voice actor Jerry Nelson famous for roles including The Count from Sesame Street among many other roles has died at the age of 78, leaving behind a career spanning over 40 years. I'm personally gutted, I used to watch Sesame Street when I was very young and Count Von Count was one of my favourite characters, such a sad loss.

Let's count to how deep he is now!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6! 6 feet under! AH AH AH!

Damn... I feel terrible.

Of course I'm joking. It's always sad to me when anyone from my childhood dies. The count was awesome, and let's hope he's never replaced.

Count Von Count is dead?
...
Man.
I wish I cared for Sesame Street some more. I hardly remember him as a child.
But dang it, the Count was a vampire! And the cool kind at that! Plus, he could count. Both of those count for something nowadays. You don't need to count up any more good points than that.

He shall be missed.

Well that's pretty sad. I didn't realise the same person voiced the Count since the 70's, that's pretty impressive.

I think I'm going to now go watch some old Sesame Street videos on Youtube.

He should have been sustaining himself with the blood of virgins instead of counting.
Maybe then he would still be with us.
