Stereotype?
Do you mean he was supposed to be stereotyped, or he was supposed to be Jewish?
But meanwhile I don't remember the count from when I was little. So if he was stereotyped I wouldn't know lol. That song sounds a little jewish, yeah.
But here is one thing, the count likes to count, whatever it is he is counting, it isn't just money, so that stereotype should be thrown out of the possible
The counts nose might be big, but remember, muppets and puppets and etc. are all meant to have embellished characteristics.
As for his voice...I can't say much about it. His voice may have changed many times throughout the puppets career.
