Is it OCD or simply his mundane little passion project? (we all kinda have them, right?!)

Funnily enough, I have Big Bird, The Count, and Cookie Monster hand-puppets, and when I was younger and less-disabled, sometimes strolled around the local shopping district, doing their voices and interacting with kids. The good ol' Muppets still seem to be remembered even in this late-stage digital age(!)

Another pastime was to perform the puppets singing songs at our local karaoke night. Not sure how many people remember these songs, but let's take a look at two: (one for Count and one for Cookie)

TV shows sure were different those days...

Going by a proposal i read from some posts ago, this title should read:

The Count with some Erotic Language and real regrets.

Anyone remember this little gem from when the internet was young?

Wow, I've never seen that before.

Actually I'm a bit confused... is it just an original SS video & song with bleeps to make it sound funny, or is it something else?

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yes afaik it's an actual SS song with the word "count" bleeped out (maybe added a subtle "f...k" sound here and there)

Yeah but when u count things in your daily life and then end that with “[number]! [number] wonderful [thing]s! Ah hah hah! ⚡️” you’ll get it

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh, is that it works back in Hobbit-Country there, Laddie-McDaddie..?

[–] Danarchy 3 points 2 weeks ago

One! One wonderful reply! Ah hah hah ⚡️

Ive been wondering if AI can exhibit autism

[–] JohnnyEnzyme@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm pretty sure it could imitate such, but beyond that..?
