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.

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.

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

question where does the artwork that displays over the voiceovers come from? I know some of it is made by the show but there's so much of it and it doesn't make sense to gin up something that's on screen for like not even a full second. did they give the vampires such generic looks that it was just easy to find historical artwork that somewhat resembles them? or is it all photoshopped a little? (as I suspect). idk its one of my favorite aspects of the show

I think a lot of comedies written over zoom in the last year+ are suffering from writers not having been in the room together

i am liking this season but theres definitely a danger at this point a few seasons in where theyve accumulated so many characters and running plots that actual jokes grow sparser bc they have to service all the other stuff

This series feels like it’s aware of its audience and status, whereas the first two had that “fuck around and find out” vibe where everyone was having fun making this weirdo show.

Colin Robinson is great as always but if I had one complaint it's that we haven't seen enough energy vampirism this season. Those scenes always kill me.

I think this season has been pretty good but it does kinda feel a bit like Arrested Development S3 where it's full of callbacks and increasingly bizarre plotlines. also the first 2 seasons were so over-the-top that you kinda wonder how much further the show can go. that said its still super funny and this season seems to be setting up for a good finish
― frogbs, Monday, 18 October 2021 17:49 (two years ago) link
The artwork in the intro was all created for the show, based on a lot of actual paintings and such:

I imagine they spent time on it because in the streaming/Internet era they know fans will pause and scrutinize everything that gets on screen so the fact that some of it only flashes up for less than a second doesn't matter so much.

Not gonna spoil it but the end of this weeks episode made me audibly gasp. Was definitely expecting some kind of fake out

I really have been hoping for a call back to the local city council. Went back and watched that one again and it cracked me up even more now and considering how nuts people have been acting at those kinda of meetings these days, it seems that is some pretty low hanging comedic fruit.

Laszlo playing the piano in the finale, especially Take My Hand when Guillermo first goes in, was my highlight.

That artwork post, wow the detail. Thanks for posting! I've been avoiding this thread cause spoilers (but now I'm almost at the end so I just won't read the most recent posts).
There's also one snapshot in the opening credits with what looks like a pubescent Laszlo with his hand in his pants and a sort of guilty but confrontational demeanor. Now I wonder if that's an allusion too.

as all over the place as this season has been I thought the last couple eps were great. not gonna spoil it but the last 5 minutes of the finale were pretty crazy, almost felt like yelling at the TV
little weird they didn't really explain what was going on with fitness vampire though
― frogbs, Sunday, 31 October 2021 02:46 (two years ago) link
I knew that they weren't gonna get rid of Proksch that easily. And 'infant-as-energy vampire' is a solid concept, as probably anyone who's had an infant would agree.

one of them did contain "Hello, Guillermo...have you brought some more people to yank on my pee-pee?" which is one of the funniest lines in the show
anyway, I also figured that they weren't just gonna write Proksch out of the show like that, my guess was that one of the clones from the episode where he gets promoted to manager would show up

Just catching up with this season - I found the first two episodes a bit disappointing, somewhat hectic and overstuffed. The third episode in Atlantic City I absolutely loved. I realise I much prefer the episodes where the vampires engage with banal aspects of the modern world to the baroque vampiric council world building ones.
― chap, Wednesday, 17 November 2021 10:02 (two years ago) link
one real asset this show has is all four main vampires are played by people who could make you laugh just reading the phonebook
― frogbs, Wednesday, 17 November 2021 21:44 (two years ago) link
I found this whole season a real drag. It just got worse and worse as it went along. Kind of hoping it doesn't come back, tbh, and I say that as someone who absolutely adored the first two seasons.
― trishyb, Thursday, 18 November 2021 00:17 (two years ago) link
Kind of agree - the things that were good were retreads of previous seasons, the beats that were new were not good (idg what they did with Laszlo's character at all)
