Greetings! You have found the TV Tropes page of the Count, Sesame Street's resident vampire! (Don't vorry, though; I'm vhat the late Sir Terry Pratchett called a Black Ribboner. I live in a castle vith many, many bats! I think I'll count them all!
FIFTEEN! That's FIFTEEN tropes that apply to me! Ah ah ah!
- Badass Cape: I am a vampire, after all!
- The Charmer: I am quite the romantic, if I do say so myself.
- Dark Is Not Evil: No, I do not vant to suck your blood. I am not THAT type of vampire.
- Daywalking Vampire: I'm a vampire, but I can walk in the sun just fine.
- Dramatic Thunder: Every single time I finish counting.
- Early Personality Signs: I knew how to count even before starting school, and on my first day of school, I counted all my classmates and then went outside to count more students.
- Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Again, I am not THAT type of vampire.
- Good with Numbers: FIFTEEN! That's FIFTEEN letters in the name of that trope! Ah ah ah!
- Impoverished Patrician: "In old Transylwania, vhen I vas a lad/Our castle vas poor, but ve vere never sad..."
- Out-of-Character Moment:
- When Elmo wished for it to be Christmas Every Day, I actually got sick of counting Christmases! Phew! Glad that problem was resolved.
- There were only two (TWO!) occasions where I counted something wrong. One time, it inspired me to count everyone else's mistakes, and the other time, it caused me to have an identity crisis.
- Plot Allergy: I happen to be allergic to flowers, but I do not mind - vhen I count flowers, I sneeze, and then I can count my sneezes!
- The Pollyanna: As long as there are things to count, nothing ever dampens my spirits.
- Ridiculously Alive Undead: I may be a vampire, but I am able to sleep and feel pain, and one time, I got a disease that runs in my family that caused me to faint whenever I counted. Also, that one time Elmo visited the doctor, I seemed to have some kind of throat infection as I coughed 101 times.
- Vampire Vords: That is how I, the Count, speak.
- Vampires Hate Garlic: Once, when I vent shopping at Sarita's Supermarket, a vendor offered me garlic. I told him, "Pass."
Now that's ONE about me completed! Ah ah ah ah ah ah! (cue thunder)
