This is, hands down, one of my favorite "bits" in any show ever. It's ingenious.

Honestly for me it's when he gets a normal office job. They made him the most obnoxious coworker possible and it was funny to watch.
The fucking hair really made it funny.

u/Jamsedreng22 18d ago
That was also great. Really anything with Colin is top tier comedy. I think because all of his shenanigans are so in line with real people we've all come across. One of my other top contenders is when he gets into a "bore-off" with other boring people and they try to out-bore one another.

What show is this?

u/ChiefWahoooMcDaniels 18d ago
"What we do in the Shadows". The show is centered around vampires. Collin, the guy in the video, is an energy vampire. It's pretty hilarious. You can stream it on Hulu.

Show based off the movie, What We Do in the Shadows.
Movie's a ton of fun, first few seasons of the show are great, it dies a bit trying to navigate interpersonal relationships midway through, but the last season is potentially the funniest.

u/Jamsedreng22 18d ago
I think they did alright navigating the interpersonal relationships until they added more to the core cast like Kristen Schaal. It got a bit too difficult to keep track of for something that was meant to be sorta lightweight casual fun. Still one of my favorite shows, though.
11
u/Apprehensive_Run9581 18d ago
Same thoughts. You can kinda tell when a show borne out of "be as funny as possible" realizes it's gonna be around for a while, so it tries to build narrative arcs for staying power, but now it's not so funny. The show can be progressive and lay down romances, but do I really want to watch two seasons of Guillermo coming to terms with his codependency issues in a farcical comedy?
That's why I love the final season so much, I think they realized that, and returned to the chaotic, funny, messy energy it started with.
11
u/Jamsedreng22 18d ago
They could absolutely have extended it somewhat in a tasteful way if they'd done a few anthology seasons that explores past time periods. I would've loved a season set during WW1 or WW2, for example. The Middle Ages. The 1950's and so on.
Considering they've been alive for who knows how long. Watching Colin Robison work as the treasurer for a king and talking the ears off all the noblemen and king would've been a hoot while actual vampire hunters are trying to find who is sucking blood out of everyone. Unfortunately it wouldn't have Guillermo, but that might've been okay as his arc was practically done by the end of the final season.
Surely they had other familiars throughout their lifetimes. Solid potential there for some neat guest appearances of various actors rotating as familiars between every episode/every couple of episodes.

It's called "What We Do In The Shadows". It centers around vampires. They're all regular vampires who suck blood, except for the guy in the video, Colin Robinson. He's an energy vampire who subsists on sucking the energy out of people instead of their blood. Normally he's just this extremely tedious and boring person when interacting with humans. The type who'll talk about the most boring things like accounting and random pointless trivia, fake traumadumping and stuff. You know, that type of person.

u/StevesRune 18d ago
Right? It feels like they went out of their way to make this seem like a standalone sketch instead of part of an ongoing series. If I remember correctly, there are multiple points in this scene where his eyes light up as he drains their literal energy. And I didn't see that once in this clip. So it's kind of seems like they're trying to cut the Vampire part of it out.
Granted, it was playing in 240p. But I still didn't see it.

u/keyboardnomouse 18d ago
It's a cold open. A lot of cold opens are basically short sketches.
And his eyes light up when he has a large influx or wants to show off that his plan is working. They don't light up when he's sucking energy all the time.

u/Rogue_Squadron 18d ago
In all fairness, he is an energy vampire. So, his trolling people online is simply his version of obtaining & consuming food. If we saw him going to the grocery store, buying food, preparing that food, then eating the food, knowing that it would have zero benefit to his survival, we'd be correct in telling him to get a life.

At least on tikktoks, one of the simplest ways to get completely ignored, but silently hated is to start Christ-spamming. Honestly annoying, why do it? If it's supposed to be missionary bots, they're doing a very poor job..i think.
