The nov­elty of Count von Count’s inces­sant count­ing finally wear­ing thin, Ker­mit opts out of yet another Sesame Street maths class tak­ing full advan­tage of a cord and nearby open window.

The Count looks upwards at Kermit’s corpse later on and laughs: “One dead Ker­mit! Ah Ah Ah!” before pro­ceed­ing to see if he can make his leg twitch (hey, they even do exper­i­ments on dead frogs in high school, okay? Noth­ing wrong with pok­ing a dead frog.) The snow is a minor con­ti­nu­ity flaw out­side of my con­trol; I believe such things have been attrib­uted to von Count’s grand­fa­ther in the past (see fol­low­ing Wikipedia quote:)

The Count’s for­mer girl­friend, Count­ess von Back­wards, was known for count­ing back­wards. More recently he has been seen with a new girl­friend, Count­ess Dahling Von Dahling. His brother and mother have made appear­ances on the show. His grand­par­ents also made an appear­ance. When Grandma Count laughs, it rains. When Grandpa Count laughs, it snows.

Fine, you come up with a bet­ter caption/explanation for the first image above!

p.s. Mup­pets are prob­a­bly the most bril­liant animated/puppet char­ac­ters ever to grace screens across the world. Just to get that out there in case any­one would deny it.
