yeah all the stuff with nandor is the only stuff that is working for me this season comedy-wise. all the business with nadja, lazlo, kristen schaal, and guillermo has fallen flat for me and seemed like busywork w/not a lot of jokes. even with baby colin robinson, the visual of mark proksch's head on a childs body is very funny but they havent really delivered on the premise very much imho

ok, the night market episode was a little rushed at the beginning but I thought it was funny. the wraith negotiation scene!
― mh, Saturday, 30 July 2022 01:21 (one year ago) link
first episode was shaky but #2-4 had a lot of funny scenes. the MC for the familiar fights was really funny. the thing with this show is that you kinda have to watch it with captions - Natasia Demetriou and Kristin Schaal lay on such thick accents that I can't tell what they're saying half the time. and when the captions are on you see a bunch of lines that are pretty funny but are basically inaudible.

kristen schaal has been very funny this season, i'm glad she's getting more to do.
don't think the show is bad per se, but it's definitely not delivering the laughs as regularly. i did crack up every time i heard the name "richie suck"

it's only taken me a week to realise that the reason I don't recognise any of these plot lines is you're all talking about a brand new season.

I was looking up something about the show the other day and was reminded of the fact that someone had to re-edit Natasia Demetriou's wikipedia page to adhere to the guidelines, because she uploaded her own wiki picture
It's a very good picturehttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Natasia_Demetriou,_What_We_Do_in_The_Shadows,_2019.jpg

Lmao @ Nandor “I have not slept for a week because I keep thinking of ideas for the perfect wedding”

The episodes from the night market on have been much better. I like all the legalistic stuff with the djinn and I really enjoyed Nadja trying to be friends with Gizmo's family. Still not as good as it used to be, but at the end of the last season I was only watching out of habit, and now I'm actively enjoying it again.

I just heard "Emotional Rescue" on the radio, and now I'm dying to hear Jagger's monologue at the end performed by Nandor.

“Go Flip Yourself” maybe my favorite episode of the series so far, I loved the final twist and how hard this show leans into its own ridiculousness

wejust watched the pine barrens ep - the new jersey devil sequence was hysterical omg

Go Flip Yourself is one of the best episodes ever of the whole series, I Ioled many times.

just watched it again and lmao I totally missed the joke with Nandor testing out the bar in the "man cave"
― frogbs, Monday, 29 August 2022 03:33 (one year ago) link
Just a tiny bit in an episode packed with lots of material, but I appreciated how every attempt by Nadja to perform on stage ended with her falling into the drum set

I'm only a few episodes into season 4 but I was finding the flanderization of Laszlo annoying in season 3 where literally every line he had seemed to be sex / porn / masturbation related, and so far it feels like he is finally starting to do SOME things that are not about sex.
― Evan, Thursday, 1 September 2022 15:24 (one year ago) link
yeesh, this show has become a totally different animal. went from being something to enjoy to standard trashwatching.suddenly it has the same general plotting, delivery and setpieces as family guy/rick and morty/every other 2020s carbon copy animation.

(still haven't seen any of the new season, will probably re-up on Hulu for the winter or whenever the next season of The Great comes out)
― change display name (Jordan), Thursday, 8 September 2022 21:40 (one year ago) link
it's not bad, i guess? it's just purposely self-referential, self-congratulatory, high drama nerdery and full-time situational world building and rebuilding. Construct, tear down, etc.
the last episode features nadja hosting youtube panel conversations with famous dead people (don't ask, doesn't matter) and the joke is that Gandhi has to read and ad that sells steaks for Blue Apron. that's more or less where we're at now.
― i cannot help if you made yourself not funny (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 8 September 2022 21:55 (one year ago) link
first half of this season was not great, but it improved a lot with the wedding etc the mistake is the worldbuilding and getting so far outside the dynamic between the main characters that it becomes reliant on just incongruity which isn’t enoughlike the pinebarrens ep was great because it hinged more on nandor & lazlo beefingand not just “what if camping”
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 8 September 2022 22:15 (one year ago) link
S4 had some high points (night market, wedding ep) but the season finale was a huge bummer with few lols, guys this is supposed to make us laugh not want to off ourselves

Spent far too long chuckling at all Lazlo's vampire band names: Gloria Estefang, Bat Stevens, Batboy Slim, Hall & Throats etc
― groovypanda, Friday, 9 September 2022 17:40 (one year ago) link
yeah the finale was pretty underwhelming. the whole nightclub plot felt like a waste of 2 funny actresses and I don't really care what happens to Guillermo anymore. the Colin Robinson stuff was good though. I'd say like....half the episodes this season were really funny.
― frogbs, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 21:43 (one year ago) link
I'm on ep8 of the new season and it's great, pleased to report that you're all wrong.
(even if the finale is not great, I'm still in)
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 1 November 2022 16:56 (one year ago) link
Finally caught up with this now, Season 4 was definitely the weakest one but still had some amazing highs.
I've taken to using Nandor's "this fuck-king guy" to ease my exasperation when I see a driver do something stupid.

but yeah the show is definitely very good again, I was worried it was gonna turn into an Arrested Development type situation but thus far this is probably the funniest season yet

Is there a running list of which episodes have mid credit sequences? I think I've seen the first two episodes of the current season but never thought to wait around.

"Local News" maybe the best episode of the series yet, both the opening and closing scenes were probably the funniest the show's ever been. and the stuff with Guillermo's family was legitimately tense!
