Oh no, peepaw died :((
What We Do in the Shadows has always been a bonkers show, but this season feels like they cranked it to 11. Every episode feels like the writers said, “make it weirder and gayer,” and they did. I’m enjoying this season so much more than last season simply because I have no idea what’s going to happen next.
After Good Omens though I’m not letting myself get too wrapped up in the absurdity. I’m not ready to be hurt again.
The multi-hyphenate breaks down season five's "Pride Parade," the guest-star packed "The Campaign," “Local News,” and this week's "Urgent Ca
Go read this fantastic interview that Yana did with the AV Club! She directed episodes 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of WWDITS season 5, and she shares so many fun behind-the-scenes details!

I loved the Guillermo-frogs 🥺
This was all I could think about the first time I saw S05E03 😂😂😂
This whole scene was ridiculously hilarious, that GoPro camera angle was INSPIRED.
What we do in the shadows is literally just The office for gay people
colin saying “boyfriend” instead of “partner” or “guy i was seeing” is actually really sweet. the bastard is making me feel things dammit.
just me thinking abt the insidiousness of the Familiar Clinic
a place where every familiar is recommended to be put down
not because of any injury or disease
but because their vampire cared about them enough to take them there in the first place
Anyone else getting a flanderization vibe from s5? Guillermo is still perfectly characterized but the rest of them have gotten noticeably dumber. Laszlo is smarter than how he acted in 5x04. Nandor's getting too dumb and he's the dumb one. I kept waiting for Colin Robinson to reveal he wasn't serious about his booby traps in 5x05 because Colin Robinson would only fill the house with booby traps to annoy his housemates, and he certainly wouldn't actually go to war alongside them. It's just making me a little nervous. Strong writing and characterization moments are still there, but there've been moments of weakness in this season that previous seasons haven't had, and it makes me hope that the show ends with s6 so things don't get out of hand.
I've been rewatching season 1 again so I've been able to pretty directly compare the episodes and I just don't agree with this assessment.
Now, I want to be clear that you're not wrong in observing moments of weak characterisation in the vampires, but they aren't new to season 5, I first noticed them in about season 3, and generally the show will do something about this relatively quickly and give them an opportunity to show other parts of their character.
I think in general Laszlo and Nandor have the biggest issues with this, Nadja has remained consistent since season 1 (the most consistent, in my opinion), Laszlo is generally consistent but sometimes exaggerated or caricatured (I think this season has actually done a good job pulling him back from that).
Nandor is probably the most significant change from season one but I would put that down to Kayvan Novak's decisions about what is important to Nandor, vs his character in season 1 which seemed more trying to fill an archetype/mimic some of the dynamics from the original movie, Nandor was very similar to Viago in terms of his role in the household in early season 1 but over time he's become a lot more distinct, which I believe is a good thing. The weakness I suspect comes from Kayvan Novak's background in parody/caricature, meaning Nandor's characterisation tends towards that side of things and it does weaken his character as a whole. Having Guillermo there for him to play off of (with Guillermo being one of the strongest characters, if not the strongest) helps significantly I think. I do feel that it could be improved a lot more though.
The other changes occurring are largely a result of the actual narrative, Colin has become closer to the other vampires over the course of the series, and the baby Colin thing changed his character even further, so while he wouldn't have done a lot of the things he's doing now in the first season that isn't indicating character weakness, it's indicating character growth.
I do generally worry about comedy shows that go too long, but this season has actually been a massive reassurance to me that they're able to recognise and address certain problems in the writing to ensure that the characters don't lose potential or become too repetitive as the seasons wear on.
What Nandor needs is someone to teach him to prioritize identifying what he's feeling, as opposed to what he's thinking. He fails to communicate because his mind is such a mess. Thoughts are dangerous if there is no active awareness of the emotion, they can lead you to mistake.
Nandor was in panic "Where is Guillermo? Has he arrived yet?" because he expected to be rescued. Guillermo is not only his friend, he's also the bridge that connects him with humanity today. "This is all Guillermo's fault".
At some point, this crossed Nandor's mind: "He left me, but I can do this without him (again?)" referring to the end of S3, nothing more than a self-comfort thought, because let's face it: Nandor couldn't even pick out a suitable bag without Laszlo.
If Nandor had been conscious of his own feelings when Guillermo arrived, he might have said something like:
I needed you and you weren't here;
I felt abandoned all over again;
I was scare and I missed you being here to tell me what to do;
I feel in the dark. You don't tell me anything lately, left the house without letting me know and I didn't know how to find you;
I feel worthless. You've exclude me lately and I'm not sure if I can still count on you.
All these things would have informed Guillermo and given him the opportunity to do better. Guillermo was late, but he was there! Nandor, on the contrary, decided to say things he thinks.
It's a euphemism for "I don't need you. I don't want you". A counterproductive and false message to say the least. A manipulative tactic with intent to hurt Guillermo because he wanted him to suffer, to beg to stay, so that Nandor would feel better, valued again. Insted of being honest, Nandor punish Guillermo and still expects Guillermo to fight for him. 🤷🏻♀️
Guillermo is tired, he doesn't read minds. He will tire of making sacrifices and merely being tolerated by the vampires.
I love how my witch-skin-asshole-hat kind of joke TV show makes me laugh for 20 minutes, then later reflecting several days about it. We can learn a lot from Nandor's childishness; As kids we're often told to "shut up and swallow our tears" instead be taught to identify and deal with our feelings.
We need therapy too, many of us is Nandor in a smaller scale.
if you’re reading this

real event that occured that i cant stop thinking about
They need to make an americano psycho about these specific types of young professionals
saying that the secret to making your work parties fun is “alcohol and name tags” is like saying the secret to your spaghetti sauce is salt and a dash of pepper
The way how not a single movement in this wasn’t staged…
What the fuck
You come to my house, YOU WILL EAT.
YOU WILL NOT LEAVE UNTIL YOU'VE TRIED MY COOKING.
Reverse fae. Who the hell is distorting the statistics in Finland?
The only explanation I can think of for this is a similar situation to the above Swedish one: you’re a child playing at your friend’s house. You are already well established friends. Their parents know that you will have family dinner at your own house with your family, but maybe not exactly at the same time. In that case, yes, you probably won’t join your friend’s family for their family dinner and would wait in your friend’s room (or go home because it’s dinner time for you, too). But if you are at a sleepover, then wtf, of course you’re eating with them!
And if you are a guest in a Finnish house in any other situation, you will be offered at least coffee and snacks. You can’t escape it. If you don’t drink coffee, they’ll offer you tea. If you don’t drink tea, either, they might panic and not know what to do with you.
Idk who’s distorting the statistics in Finland either, because going round to friends’ houses for mustikkapirakka with ice-cream and vanilli sauce used to be the highlight of my summer
Heard a new meme dropped.
