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

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.

he's played shy-to-extremely-bumbling in just about everything else I've seen him in... but this is pretty much true of Nandor too tbh.

Natasha Demetriou meanwhile is catastrophically more sexy in the new Alan Partridge series than in Shadows, and you barely see more than her hands for the first three weeks.

Rubber Dinghy Rapids bro.

Season 3 premieres September 2!

Aw that's ages! Will be some consolation for the end of summer I suppose.

2 new episodes out, first one has a lot of plot but the second is hilarious

gah, looks like we'll have to wait a couple of months in the uk

NY Times posted a good interview with Harvey Guillén (Guillermo) a few days ago that is worth a read.

He insisted on doing his own stunts!

Knobnomicon

you have the high firm ass of an irish derby winner

I love how this show's supernatural elements allows it to just go all the way on certain tropes - having a bunch of characters try on the Cloak of Duplication to pick up the lady at the gym was like a perfect sitcom plot

Kayvan Novak killing it with the Colin Robinson and Guillermo imitations

SO good

the lute-y dan moment predictably had me on the floor

Kayvan Novak in character as Nandor singing to Kristin Schaal’s 3yo daughter about brushing her teeth is what I needed to see today

Theres not many people in many professions on the planet as bad -and so annoyingly so- at their job than matt berry, and none that i can see as well encouraged/rewarded for same

cant and wont watch a minute of the one-note hawing fool

appreciate you stopping by, deems

he's a little scarce in season 3 so far but I'd guess more than a minute so

tbf his actual job is writing and recording music, so you don’t have to look at him at all while you listen to his albums

(appearing on television is just something he does on the side when friends write a horny, egotistical, braying oaf specifically for him to bray as)

latest episode is about as good as this show gets: great world building, lots of bait and switch, fun b-plot. Guillermo's progression as power behind the throne (or on it, really) is satisfying, the new lead character adds a fun wrinkle and matt berry's devolution of laszlo into a moronic non-stop sexpot feels like the best use of him

I liked the younger energy vampire saying to Colin Robinson that he was having a lot of success with weed and sneakers as energy drains.

Fu-cking guide!

Enjoyed the Sire episode, the Difficult People stop-motion gargoyles cameo was maybe a little awkward but I appreciated it.

i dig that they have now effectively built a full roster of characters to work with: the doll, the guide, the next door neighbor, the hellhound, the baron, the gargoyles, the sire, the nerdy new vampire. Gives the show room to grow.

i demand an odd couple spinoff of the baron, the sire & the hellhound

also lazlo swallowing the harmonica made me laugh so hard, it’s so dumb

i demand an odd couple spinoff of the baron, the sire & the hellhound

lol, was just going to post basically this. That last scene with them in their new home was hilarious.

seeing the baron riding the hellhound cracked me up, but later seeing him in the mini-SUV had me in tears

oh we're going to get an episode with them sooner or later; you don't build a playground and then not use it

slowly catching up, just watched the atlantic city episode.

it was a kick in the head!
