What We Do in the Shadows (TV) main character POLL

A disdainful "Terrifying" is already a meme in our house and we only saw the episode yesterday. Helps that I'm already much more like Matt Berry than I'd previously been willing to admit

My vote is probably (as it stands) Nadja though, because the Demetrious have come along with their pushy Greek Cypriotness and taken TV comedy by the scroll of its neck

What is her brother up to? Is there a third season of Stath?

There is this

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Can't believe we haven't done this:

Nandor = Rose
Laszlo = Blanche
Nadja = Sophia
Dorothy = Guillermo (apologies to Colin Robinson)

confirmation that Nadja is the best.

3 eps in to the second season and it's just as strong as the first imo.

oops Guillermo = Dorothy

if you do Designing Women you don't have to omit Colin Robinson

never heard of it!

nadja saying "colin robinson" is one of my favourite things.

jackie daytona episode and the colin robinson/evie the emotional vampire episode are both really great

When Colin meets the Actual Troll and keeps him talking/nodding off til sunrise, is the joke that his dick unpixellates as soon as he turns to stone some reference to statues not being obscene where real "people" are?

yes imo

Excellent show btw cant wait for S3.

I stand by my opinion of S2 not being quite as funny the first, but everyone seems to disagree with me.

I loved the abrupt final gag of the last episode

Nadja's actor is a host on Netflix's "Great Flower Fight" and basically everything she says sounds like Nadja could have said it. It's delightful.

Nadja is my favorite but Guillermo might be my #2

it's all about watching Nadja's facial expressions when anyone else is talking

I just watched Snuff Box for bonus Berry. That show was pretty fucked up.

Nadja was briefly in Eurovision movie w her brother :D

Nadja's actor is a host on Netflix's "Great Flower Fight"

Her co-host is Vic Reeves!

if we're doing What/Shadows Actors In Other Things, then Kayvan Novak has a substantial role in Alice Lowe's Prevenge

^which comes strongly recommended

Great Flower Fight was superior design-contest fare but seriously if you Nadja fans haven't watched all of Stath Lets Flats yet then you are letting yourselves and me down, I will keep saying this

I watched ep 1 of stath and thought it was too cringe/laugh at the losers, didn't have the WWDitS feelgood vibe. (A feelgood show about murderous bloodsucking vampires? What a world!)

I love Stath! You develop a lot of affection for the losers as the series progresses.

it gets fairly feelgood later (there's a bit involving a sheet of printed paper that is the most feelgood thing i've ever seen) and as chap says we really do learn to love these losers but eh fine, no tom-tom cheesy for you

u guys know may know this already?

I found out last wk Jemaine Clement made another spinoff tv show in 2018

it’s about the 2 cops from the WWDITS movie & it’s called “Wellington Paranormal”

it’s on t0rrentz & it is hilar

I had heard of that... yet to see it tho!

it’s a pisser! highly recommend

Another poll I missed but would have voted for Nadja. I think Lazlo gets be best stories but Nadja get the best laughs because she has to react to every stupid thing that Lazlo does. Could listen to her exasperation about Lazlo's cursed hat for ever.

Watched the trailer for Greta Flower Fight and clearly it need some of Lazlo's topiary.

Trayce, Wellington paranormal is on SBS on demand and is great, although need to watch the rest of it. Aside from anything else, Kiwis saying 'Chilly Bin' is one of the funniest things ever, but maybe I am easily amused.

chully bun

no it is def the funniest thing ever

Two years ago today I was dancing with Officer O'Leary at the Pyramid Club in Wellington.

it’s fun to read berry’s bits in his voice

wtf, how did guillermo only get one vote

Was just thinking that this show could be the first (live action) comedy to do something funny with Covid.

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2020 season is nominated in the 2020 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2020 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 29, 2021

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

Bit of a tangent but Nadja and Vic Reeves are presenting The Big Flower Fight gardening competition show on Netflix.

this show is very funny but Jemaine Clement and Mark Proksch are the sort of actors who could crack me up just reading the phonebook. in fact part of the reason I slept on this is because I didn't think I could see Jemaine as anything other than his FoTC character but man this is just the perfect role for him

Is he even an actor in this?

He appears as his character from the film in 2 episodes

hah sorry should clarify I watched the movie now starting on the show

lol just found out that Matt Berry isn't even doing an accent, that's just how he talks

also he is a vampire.

BAT!

okay finally made it to the last ep, Nandor at the end going "Guillermo, is there something you are not telling us?" is the funniest moment of the series for me

I'm really impressed with this show in general, for me this is the sharpest sitcom writing I've seen since the first 3 seasons of Arrested Development

actually scratch that the funniest moment is Colin Robinson reading someone in his Twitter replies saying "that's incredibly racist" then he looks at the camera and goes "yeah...it is"

Seeing Nandor being a bumbling lawyer or accountant or something in the new Cruella movie was pretty WTF.
