Count von Count

Count von Count is a Muppet character from the children's television series *Sesame Street*, a vampire who obsessively counts everything he encounters.

His name plays on the double meaning of count—the aristocratic title and the verb for enumerating.

The character teaches children numbers through his theatrical counting and signature laugh: One! One beautiful bat! Ah ah ah!
