So long, and thanks for all the flying fish!

One fish! Two fish! Three fish! Ah-hahahahahahaha!

RIP

How sad. What an incredible talent.

 

[Vasquez Rocks]

Oh, wow, that's sad to hear. I was a really big fan of his work from the Muppets to Fraggle Rock. He had such a great voice, especially for singing those wonderful Muppet songs.

RIP

He actually cracked the British Top Ten with an adaptation of an A.A. Milne poem....

I just saw this on Facebook. Very sad news. Another giant has been lost.

Rest in peace, Jerry Nelson.

The Count was a favorite.. I laugh watching that now more than I did as a kid..

What does that say?

 

[Kelso]

Yeah, Nelson was amazing. We were sad to hear of his passing.

My daughter loves the Muppet Frog Prince and Fraggle Rock.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Count me as one fan of The Count.

RIP, Jerry Nelson.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

yeah.. when i said I laugh.. I mean laugh at loud. literally.

Very few comic acts at all can get me to laugh out loud audibly, but the Count, for all its simplicity, is definitely able to do that.
