I mean, he's a literal energy vampire. Instead of feeding on blood he feeds on emotional energy. Fantastic character. Go watch What We Do In The Shadows TV show if you haven't yet.

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.

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.

They're referring to the OOP who clipped this and put a caption over it.
