Every week I am relieved that the spark is still there and by this point I'm pretty satisfied the show is going to make it as its own thing beyond the novelty of being an adaptation of the film. Simon introducing his crew was fantastic, it just kept going!

Nick Kroll is usually pretty perfect for roles exactly like Simon the Devious

I looked the song up and I was astounded it was the original. For some reason, just from the sound of it I assumed it was like, a cover or remix or something.

He could've been a one-time thing I just noticed that in the opening sequence there's a bunch of pictures of Colin in basically the same pose, wearing slightly different suits with wider lapels and ties from the 70s, 20s, etc.

Imagine the medieval equivalent of Colin, chasing peasants around the farms to bore them to sleep with dreary lectures about how their humors are out of balance.

I love how cheap but perfect it was that he tells us he got bit, teleports directly to the camera, shows his finger which is unmarked, and says,"But it's already healed, see!" Edit: Also, "Is this a message from MS-13?"

Another little funny bit is how when Lazlow was getting dragged by the taxi way in the background you see that the hat has fallen off and starts scooting after the departing car.

I like that the cab stops when the hat falls off, but as soon as he picks it up and puts it back on, the taxi starts dragging him again. And since it was such a list, the AV Club review listed the entirety of Simon's crew (though I feel like one's missing) quote:Big Vlad, Abbadon, Apusa, the Freak Sisters (no relation), Little Vlad, Mister Fifties, S for Sara, Evil Steve, Freakfest Tony, Blaglad the Exsanguinator, the Silent One, Asian Mike, Chunt, Jane the Soulless, Elgrad the Fifth, Hovark the Pitmaster, Gunfrappel and his brother Kirlsak, Wesley Sikes, Desdemona the Shrieker, Len the Accountant, and Count Rapula.

Mob posted:When she said that it cut to a painting, and my girlfriend recognized it as a pretty famous painting I can't remember the name of, but it depicts a woman who seduces the leader of a country she's warring with and beheads him, and the guy in the painting is legit named Gregor as well I think it was Caravaggio, Judith and Holofernes

So, this is pretty much the best show involving Vampire: the Masquerade without actually using the license. I've ran VTM campaigns where the second episode is a thing that tends to happen and everything involving that Witchskin hat is very VTM campaign gone silly.

I can’t believe how good this show is, I really like that it subverts the base jokes of most mockumentaries: “person confidently says something in interview, followed by footage of them repeatedly failing.” The vampires are all idiots but they’re really good at being vampires. Or like Nadia being obsessed with some random parking attendant but it turns out he really is the reincarnation of Gregor, there on Staten Island. I lost it at Gregor being a horse in one of his past lives. Nadja was great this episode.

Yeah, it also serves to make their failure to conquer...anything in several hundred years of living in America all the more funny. Because their powers actually work, but just because you get superpowers/become a creature OF the niiiiight doesn't make you smarter. Any idiot could become a vampire, and these guys are so self absorbed and shallow that they can't get poo poo done. Even the one who actually conquered stuff. Of course, this seems to be true in universe of most vampires, which is why none of them have done more than corner the Manhattan night club scene.

I like how Nandor clearly doesn’t have the ability to hypnotize people like Nadja and Lazlow but still firmly states he does “I can hypnotize people only into doing what they already want to do” then Nadja walks in and gets the code instantly Also the rat pile scene was actually a little freaky so it’s great that they still adhere to horror tropes even during comedySenor Tron posted:In the nightclub with all the vampires was the implication there meant to be that he had sired most of them? Yes and I was dying that they all had the most 90’s Vampire the Masquerade nicknames possible
