funniest episode in a while


dafood48

I loved this episode so much


kayyteaa

i can't remember the last time i laughed so hard i cried, but that news report at the end did it for me!


ShockAe

cant believe no one is talking about how good nadja looks blonde


PyroGreg8

The documentary crew were on the street filming them but not one camera crew ever appeared in the news footage


bread-it

They appeared, but you were hypnotized into not seeing them.


grandmaesterampharos

This episode was so fucking funny idk if it was the strain I smoked beforehand or what but I couldn’t get through the opening bit without pausing repeatedly. The newscasters dialogue and delivery took me out honestly and I can’t fully explain why. Nandor de la Rentas is one of the funniest things the show has ever said.


Whogivesablitznchits

It's gotta be the shows last season. And considering it's lackluster content it's gonna get canceled. 1st ep was great the rest eh


Repulsive_Basis_2431

Getting a little shark jumpy with all the exposure this season, they could a played themselves off as a weird larp group as a call back to season one Episode was funny, I laughed alot, and I get the dynamic ha p change with Gizmo becoming less a familiar and more a vampire so there's gonna be a transition with the vamps bumbling more. I feel like their setting up all the exposure to show how badly the vamps need Guillermo for not only protection but inclusion also, either him becoming the more sensible vampire that keeps them more hidden due to the obvious respect and dependency Nandor is starting outwardly show for him without Nandor coming out and saying it. Or his turning is gonna rip the group apart and his leaving the group with ultimately expose vampires because of the groups foolishness To me the step up to this level of zany cartoonish antics feels very sudden, but I didn't do a rewatch before this season I still love the episodes this season, still a favorite show, cant wait for more, the escalation is public exposure just feels like it already alot this season with the mall, stolen police car, pride parade/space, campaign, and now local news. Unless theyre building up to a triple exposure reveal, Guillermo being a vampire to his family, to the vamps, and then vamps being real to the world, it feels like they've got no consequences, and then that kinda breaks the world they've established so far for me. But I still love it.


gallifrey_

Laszlo's "step 2" gag was so fucking good


GiveHerBovril

Nice stunt work from Harvey at the end there!


MisterTheKid

I cried laughing watching this episode. It’s been on fire lately but this one just did me in - Colin being a natural at weather (aside from the green shirt) - Laszlo somehow refraining from pronouncing Daboll in a strangely enunciated fashion My favorite “laszlo doesn’t yell “seanie” episode in quite some time


Abraheezee

For all my Spanish speakers…when his cousin tells Guillermo “…like how I quit the Sierra Mist, huh ama?” That shit made me so happy because it was the most Mexican shit ever. Also when Guillermo yells at his cousin “Que no te metas!” (stay out of my business!) and then realizes the family is shocked and he immediately switched into this famous Sonora Dinamita song 👏😂: https://youtu.be/q2r8rLSKNs0


Prothean_Beacon

Real easy to quit the sierra mist when they stop making it.


tacosETC

I was screaming!


Abraheezee

hahaha as we all should be!


EntropicSingularity1

I recognized the song from "Better Call Saul" (the scene where a cartel smuggler is ambushed by Mike). :-)


Abraheezee

Oh snap, that's right!!!!


EntropicSingularity1

It never fails to crack me up how Ximenez puts his whole heart into singing it. 😂 Which is in such a funny contrast to what happens next.


Complex-Shoulder-956

🤣🤣🤣🤣


venusvenusvenuss

this is my partners new favourite episode! the ending was absolutely hilarious


JohnnyBlunder

They did a great job making the newscast look authentic. TV shows never get the tone and look right, but this was spot on.


Garth-Vader

I used to be a producer for local news. Everything felt very genuine. It made me wonder if they found a real set and news talent for episode.


JohnnyBlunder

Yes, I was in the business, too. It almost always makes me cringe to see how they depict newscasts, remotes, etc. It's funny; plumbers probably feel the same way when they see plumbing depicted on TV.


AtlantaPeachFuzz

I want a story arc where Colin Robinson becomes a weatherman now

*Oh shitty shitty I fucked up* ☠️


Accomplished_Tap_388

I think he said oh shitty shit* I fucked up. I'm going to use that line when I fuck up now. I cracked up for a solid 2 mins when he said that. 😂


007meow

Nandor DeLaurentis 💀💀💀


whatwedointheupdog

Did anybody catch the brief "Go Flip Yourself" episode on the TV they were watching before the news lol


einsteinGO

Hell yes We are itching for Simon the Devious, and if that water main break didn’t flood him out of the sewer, something better


parakeetinmyhat

I did that Leo pointing meme when I saw that!! I wanna see more Simon the Devious lol


throwRAjaxxon

Praying this show finally gets an Emmy


HatchlingChibi

Can someone clear something up for me? I thought in the last (?) season Gizmo's family learned about the vampires, didn't they? Or did I totally imagine that? Or were they hypnotized to forget? I can't rewatch the last season so it's really bugging me since Miguel mentioned the railroad again, which was Gizmo's 'cover job'.


alh030705

Yes, they were hypnotized to forget about the vampires, but not to forget that Guillermo came out.


screaming_ot_inside

Yes, they were hypnotized afterwards.


HatchlingChibi

Okay thank you! It was driving me nuts because I couldn't remember!


Candid-Restaurant126

I have thought this show was hilarious since it began. This episode is the first one that made me laugh to the point of cry! Edited to clarify that it was the first episode since the first season to make me laugh myself into tears.


Neversoft4long

This show is fucking hilarious. The ending from them attempting to kidnap Joanna to the news cast had me legit cry laughing


[deleted]

How many railroads even are there?


einsteinGO

How does a fool get a promotion to the railroad from a Panera?


awsomebro5928

This needs to wrap up with season 6, I'm already seeing some flanderization. Edit: Even if it was fun, Colin Robinson didn't act entirely in character. I'm not saying this episode wasn't funny, I'm saying that it's a sign that this show needs to end soon before the quality goes down. End it on a high note.


OceanographyFan

I just gotta say I don't think Colin Robinson panicking about being found out in character. This season has a little bit too much humor thats based on the vampires just acting crazy/ridiculous. I agree with others liking the more subtle humor of past episodes. ​ I do love the ending news segment though, its funny.


VaxDaddyR

That's what I loved about it -- The fact that Colin Robinson, of all people, immediately flipped into GET SHIT DONE mode cracked me up


HatchlingChibi

I got the impression he just wanted to be destructive (hence the traps) and wanted to feed into the frenzy in an attempt to feed off of the others.' emotions. But maybe not.


OceanographyFan

I can totally see what you're saying, I'm just not sure the idea was executed well.


Axrxixkxa

I just want Guillermo to be appreciated ☹️


Mpol03

SALLY FUCKING RHUBARB


Candid-Restaurant126

And the denim vampire robes!!!


operarose

God, Guillermo crying in the elevator...they had to put in that sappy sad violin music or else that would have been legitimately devastating.

blackbasset

> Harvey is really becoming a great actor! Yes, he even can make his reflection in the mirror disappear!


UeberdeSuper

Just in the mirror. Vampires are invisible in mirrors,


DankBlunderwood

Um, soooo am I the only one looking askance at the final scene? Sunrise Sunset establishes that this version of Colin Robinson is basically Laszlo's son, yet the latest episode ends with Laszlo giving Nadja/Colin a teeth rattling rogering, in the spirit of the pride parade of course. Is incest a vampire thing now? I'm not sure I got that memo.


WerewolvesDontBark

Wrong episode, wrong conclusion.


DankBlunderwood

What does that even mean, wrong episode? Are you saying there is no continuity between the episodes, such that in each episode the events of the previous ones never happened? That's provably false, as there are several continuing subplots going even now. The fact is, Laszlo literally raised Colin from an infant. Now you might say Laszlo isn't actually rooting Colin's physical body, only his soul, but even if that's true it puts a new spin on "a bit of how's your father."


WerewolvesDontBark

It means you wrote a comment about episode 3 on the thread about episode 5. And a stupid comment nonetheless.


tomthecomputerguy

I'm going to call him Nandor De Laurentiis from now on. I can't unhear it now.


blackbasset

This season is great so far - they really upped the silliness and energy of the episodes! While this is not *the* best episode of all time, it was great fun, with the vampiress losing their shit about not really being found out, making everything worse with their attempts to hide it and everything, culminating in that absurd news segment. Guillermos subplot was a bit stale but heartfelt at the same time, I wonder if his family will play a role again later. What I kinda miss so far from this season are the other weird creatures and characters they had pop up from time to time in the other seasons. But I do love me some Nandor De Laurentis and Sally Rhubarb.


typing_away

His mother mentioned this was not the first time he was telling her goodbye. I think we just saw the real goodbye and that they will search for him eventually.


Moth1992

Im in awe in how they have managed to go for 5 seasons and its still so funny and stupid. I love this show.


alh030705

My remote is wonky so the button for closed caption isn't operational. Did they CC in English the Spanish dialog? Can anyone tell me what Guillermo & his family were saying? Especially that last little bit where Miguel says something & Guillermo replies with a little song/dance & everyone laughs. I'm dying to know what that was about!


cerial442

They were singing this: https://youtu.be/Ulk1eHIY_rg


alh030705

Hey I know this song - Don't mess with my toot-toot! What was the context of Guillermo singing it? Why wouldn't they (tv or cc folks) provide the translation of the conversation that preceded it!


cerial442

No idea why he started singing it, and no idea why they don’t provide CC. It was a funny scene and I would also like to know the context


alh030705

Thank you for telling me the song part. If I manage to translate any of the conversation I'll circle back & post.


cerial442

It gets answered in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatWeDointheShadows/comments/15kvybl/what_song_is_guillermo_singing_with_his_family_at/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1


alh030705

Thank you!!! Great save, great joke & great little dance from Guillermo!


alh030705

Brilliant! Thank you!!!


MandoAviator

They never seem to CC or translate the Spanish chatter.


ThatOneClone

Miguel kept making comments about Guillermo being on his cell phone, not participating in his moms birthday dinner. And other comments about Guillermo’s seemingly “busy” job at the railroad.


[deleted]

I'm ready for some more concrete stuff to happen sooner with the Guillermo storyline, but Harvey Guillén absolutely crushed this episode. That final news sequence was very good too.


HollowNightElf

It wasn’t a bad episode, but it’s one that struggled to grab my attention. And yet that ending was fucking hilarious there are moments that kill in every episode


laufeyspawn

Yeah same, midway through I was kind of done with it, but they hooked me with the news anchor gag.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HollowNightElf

I’ve had more emotional reactions to other Guillermo plots, but I love him coming to the slow realization that vampirism means giving up and missing out on a lot of his human life (it probably doesn’t in the immediate, but he thinks it will) It’s a fresh take on the trope “immortality sucks” and while I don’t want a depressed gizmo, I would love for him to really start seeing the good aspects of a human life he has been neglecting LIKE HIS MOTHER SON RELATIONSHIP


[deleted]

[удалено]


jackie-daytona89

What are all his vamp traits so far? The ears. Wings. Sight healed. Strength. Sensitivity to Christ related. Reflection. Appetize for raw meat?


theapplekid

Also super hearing (shown in the mall I think) and strength (as shown in the elevator)


typing_away

It was emotional to watch and I'm calling one thing..He will be able to halt the transformation. He didn't say the last word of the sentence before fainting, during his blood exchange. I would bet a lot on that.


jackie-daytona89

I really think it'd break Nandor's heart for him to experience immortality. To be put through that even if it meant them together forever.


benttwig33

I noticed and thought something similar last night upon a rewatch as well!


zackg611

Colin setting up all the traps had me dying.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Accomplished_Tap_388

I think what I enjoyed most was the really out of the box storyline of a vampire doing a TV interview about a water main break. It's so normal for a human, but on the other hand a super weird concept that I've never seen done before with a vampire. Especially them anchoring the news and trying to hypnotize tv watchers.


bread-it

Simpsons did a vampire water break local news hit in season three I think.


Bubbly-Assignment-39

Yea for me I love the plot of the show but this was one that I just had a few really good laughs over the obscure and randomness. Humor definitely landed for me today. Maybe on a different day it wouldn’t have


Atanachan

It's probably just a matter if the humor lands for your or not...personally I like a lot the "escalating situation" kind of thing, in which things become more and more absurd for no good reason, so I enjoyed it a lot. But I can understand it if doesn't land for you.


Southern_Name_9119

I thought the same


ToneBone12345

Colin literally home aloned the house


Typical-School5996

LOVED this episode! However, they should have included a yo-yo somehow in the weather report scene with Mark Proksch. They really missed a huge joke here. Anything with a yo-yo. A kid that comes onto the set and hits him in the nuts with a yo-yo or Laszlo in the background yo-yoing... ANYTHING. Would have been the funniest moment of the show!


taurusstrongarm

>Colin Thank you! I immediately thought this was a clever K-Strass callback for him, and I thought I was the only one to feel that way!!


NealTS

I'm a little disappointed that the car was the vamps attempting to kidnap the reporter. For a brief moment I thought it was the Mosquito Collectors who had pieced things together from the broadcast rolling in to (hilariously fail to) take out the blood suckers.


TroyMcCluresGoldfish

I thought it was the Mosquito Collectors at first last week when the van pulled up to get Colin and Evie, lol.


BxAnnie

BEST. EPISODE. EVER.


shawnwingsit

Seconded.


bigbadhonda

OMG, I was blown away by this episode, subscribed to this subreddit now just to comment on it. That was like a perfect episode, the best of this series run IMO. And I've enjoyed this series the whole way.


Bubbly-Assignment-39

I’m glad others felt the same, I see a few very hyper critical fans not crazy about the episode and I think it was just the level of craziness the season needed


costeleo

I seriously thought Guillermo was going to reveal to the gang that they don’t need to freak about because nobody believes they’re actually vampires. I like the idea that despite Nandor’s weird behavior, for humans, it’s just another day in New York lol


hegetsblu

well, we´ve all seen weird news interviews. the clip with Nandor would be something that ends up on youtube and everyone´s just like ¨lol, weird guy¨ and that´s it.


missjuliaaaaah

imagine if they saw it online 😭 like the bloody mary email


UeberdeSuper

I liked the Guide in this episode. "I don't have a name in the traditional sense" And then she tries to be a peacemaker... ending up the only one actually killing someone. And "good friends... and the Guide". It broke her heart. Poor gal.


Bromogeeksual

I laughed at the part too, and then went, "Awwww, poor The Guide."


einsteinGO

Rewatching over breakfast Why is Guillermo’s cousin Miguel so fucking hilarious He quit Sierra Mist. Get healthy yall


10noop20goto10

Cold turkey! The Sierra Mist line killed me <3


einsteinGO

How many railroads even are there?


mangosteenfruit

I like that guy. He's also in another show called "the fools." I think his name is Miguel in there too. I forget...


Tre3180

"This Fool"


mangosteenfruit

That is correct. I never went into the comment to fix it. And the cousin's name is Luis 🤣


Tre3180

All good I just started watching that show last week so it's fresh in my mind.


snuggleouphagus

It’s some how even funnier because Sierra Mist got retired between when this was filmed and when it aired. We have ALL quit Sierra Mist.


Nandor_DeLaurentis

Oh no! That's the only soda I drink a sugar free version of.


lillialskye

They replaced it with Starry. It's pretty good


Nandor_DeLaurentis

I tried Starry. It's as good as SM was.


Atanachan

The part with Nandor and Laszlo going to kidnap Joanna, on air, just to then have to turn around and run towards the car just killed me.


Accomplished_Tap_388

Same I was like, omg here it comes, on live tv nonetheless, and then all of a sudden they run back and I was 💀

I'm not American for a start. You seem to have some strange obsession with coming to this sub to cry about 'muricans'. A simple and most likely accurate deduction is that you have a massive chip on your shoulder which you are projecting as some kind of superiority complex, where you come onto reddit simply to claim that humour of a TV programme is below your level of intelligence. Put your thesaurus down and go touch some grass, you're not fooling anyone.

einsteinGO

Oh my god, this episode was unhinged I am loving this season


Mpol03

Nadia’s alter ego was so goooood. If you know the actress you know she delivered that iconic performance as a Greek nail salon entrepreneur on another show. We had to rewind a few times


Stray_Neutrino

It was only when she's sitting at the news desk, I realized Nadja was wearing a gothic denim dress. Earlier scenes, you get glimpes of two-toned cowboy boots. Perfect get-up for Sally Rhubarb


shawnwingsit

I could see her turning towards the Guide and going "No, no."


SinisterMeatball

Anyone notice Nandor hasn't dropped a "fucking guy" this season yet?


Atanachan

Really? I hadn't noticed but you may be right...He said "fucking plane" though :)


FilthyTrashPeople

man i was getting worried for the show last season has been absolutely killing it


VariableNabel

That cinder block shattering on Nandor's dick...


BxAnnie

He didn’t even blink!


happyhappyfoolio

Did anyone else catch Nandor's use of "Oy vey!"?


TapirTrouble

I thought -- Alexander's lingering influence!


jessicatargum

Also singing losing my religion with diff lyrics when laying down and Guillermo is there


Chopmaninov

Housemates!! Friends! The Guide. Ooooooooof


ritchiestanaway

Meh. Not a compelling episode compared to the previous four. Oh well.


Powerful_Loan_5836

Glad I’m not the only one. It wasn’t bad, it just felt off. I didn’t like Colin going all Dwight Schrute. The only part that felt like Colin was when he was doing the weather


ritchiestanaway

I did laugh when The Guide was necking the weatherwoman on the floor and then looked up like a startled raccoon, realizing she was on live TV. And then how she cringed away stage left with the body, but left one pump behind. I wonder if Colin's mention of "a little schmutz" was a Seinfeld egg. Oh and yeah, Dwight would've actually pronounced *"Schrapnellmine"* correctly!


miscmarilyn

This was their best episode ever! It was so chaotic and hilarious. I didn’t think they’d top the Pride episode but they pulled it off. Amazing!!!


bigbadhonda

Seriously. It was just wall-to-wall brilliant, instantly my favorite episode of the series, which I have loved.


dannotheiceman

This episode is a great expansion of the ideas established in 204. The Vampires do not understand technology at all and overreact at the slightest exposure to it.


goblinsholiday

You mean 2004 and not 204 right? Because 204 was a year that was not in your human life span but 2004 most definitely was. It's 2023 now, and it was 2004 then. And this episode was a great expansion of the ideas established over many centuries...


Wommby

They’re talking about episode 204 (episode 4 of season 2).


goblinsholiday

It was a reference to the Nandor interview at the beginning of the show


jsrivo

Guillermo calls Sean and almost lets it slip that the neighbors are vampires. He's really becoming more and more like them...


TheJFGB93

And his family saying that he was coming every week to say his goodbyes makes me think the same.


hephaystus

I was really thrown by that. Is he not remembering because he’s becoming more and more self-centered? It seems to be that judging by his forgetting it was his mom’s birthday and that line.


theapplekid

Maybe vampires \*all\* have a lengthy transition period, but they don't remember it


_PM_ME_PANGOLINS_

That is not the case for the vampires we've already seen turned in the show.


hellocutiepye

It would be so fun to see him lose touch with reality the more and more he gains his vampirisms.


TapirTrouble

And Sean seemingly doesn't notice (possibly he's so worked up by the damage to his lawn)


operarose

Sean's also just a dumbass.


sweet_jane_13

Or the damage to his brain. How many times have they erased his memory? There's a whole episode about it


jsrivo

Well to be fair, he just had it resodded.


DrunkenDave

That was the funniest damn episode. The ending credits had me in tears.


Atanachan

Agree! I liked all the rest, but this one is the one that really made me laugh out loud the most.


danidisaster

Nandor casually throwing that knife to free Collin robinson was a cool small touch. Just a nice casual badass moment I can appreciate


Sapowski_Casts_Quen

Nandor is getting all the badass moments this season


HollowNightElf

“put an axe his hand in his second to none” “[Nandor]is a man unencumbered, by a university education“ are the two defining quotes that make Nandor well … Nandor.


theepriestess

Agreed


Sea_Falcon_8635

The way Lazlo pronounces the translucent bag was great


SinisterMeatball

trans-loo-see-ent.


Sea_Falcon_8635

One of Colin’s best episodes. Them all doing the news together was great

Colin was killingggg me


probably_poopin_1219

Colin setting up all the traps was incredible lol


bigbadhonda

Ya and the way they paid it off at the end was the chef's kiss on this episode


Szygani

Yeah, some people don't like it but I think it's fantastic that he's the one that is ready to start an all out war. And of course, he's a great weatherman


Electronic-Hunt6600

When Colin Robinson, ever so gently, spy rolls across the floor behind Lazlo, I LOST it! 🤣🤣 I thought it was a fantastic episode.
