What We Do In The Shadows | Series Review
im just a up girl whos looking,for my own peace of mind,[Music],hello my dudes welcome back hope we are,well today i want to talk about a show,that has completely,and absolutely utterly consumed my life,and that is what we do in the shadows,what we do in the shadows is an fx show,it has two seasons so far,its based on the film of the same name,which was directed by,created by and starring taika waititi,all hail king ytt and both the show and,the film have the same,concept and a few of the characters from,the movie are actually in the show but,very briefly but they do have like a,little cameo which is fun but if you,dont know about what we do in the,shadows its basically a show,about vampires and the tagline for the,movie is,some interviews with some vampires which,is just great and thats exactly what it,is its sort of like,the format of the office uh but more,like the tone,and the character of its always sunny,in philadelphia,so like combine those two shows together,but make it about vampires and thats,what this,is and if thats not enough to sell this,show to you i dont know what,is so the story follows this group of,vampires who live in a house together,theyre vampire roommates thats the,premise here a show about vampire,roommates just living,their daily life doing normal mundane,things and its just sort of like,an inside look at what vampires,do when theyre just like living,unliving,and the whole concept is that like a,camera crew was granted access to follow,them around and,the camera crew wears like crucifixes,and theyre protected so they dont get,eaten by the vampires,its just its just so good so the,vampire roommates are a group of four,vampires,there is nadja and laszlo who are a,married husband and wife,vampire couple and theyre amazing then,we have nandor,nador the relentless who is also,fantastic,he has this very like he just like,doesnt understand,the real world none of them really,understand the current,state of things because theyre,extremely ancient vampires and they,havent really adjusted to like what the,world is now,but then the fourth vampire is colin,robinson,and he is an energy vampire which means,hes different from the other ones hes,not like your stereotypical dracula,you know that kind of vampire hes an,energy vampire which is actually like a,real concept in psychology and the study,of vampires in the real world because,i took a class on vampires in college,and it was very eye-opening it was one,of those like i took the class because i,thought like oh were gonna read like,dracula and its gonna be super fun but,instead,my professor was convinced that his,mother was a vampire an,energy vampire to be specific so i,learned all about energy vampires and,how they are,real in the real world i dont know,maybe who knows but like he taught us,all about how vampires are real and like,it was the weirdest but coolest most,interesting class ive ever taken,anyway thats not the point this video,so colin robinson is an energy vampire,and that means,he is a day walker so he can walk around,outside during the daytime and he wont,die,hes not nocturnal like the rest of them,but he also doesnt have their powers,like he cant fly,he doesnt have super strength hes just,kind of like a regular guy,but his power is that instead of,draining blood,he drains energy so he literally just,bores people to death,and what i love about this character is,hes a vampire which is not relatable,but,like youve met someone like colin,robinson in your life before i guarantee,it and you will watch him and youll be,like,i know people like this this is the most,annoying thing in the goddamn world,i dont know how to describe it to you,but you just need to watch it and youll,get it,so its about these four vampires and,theres also a character named guillermo,and guillermo is nandors familiar which,means hes a human,slave basically who does everything,nandor needs,and everything everyone needs pretty,much in the hopes that he will one day,be turned into a vampire but he has to,go through this like,process of being a familiar first its,very entertaining the relationship,between guillermo and nandor is like,its so good its so good and i love it,so i know this is technically a review,but im just going to tell you right now,that this show has 5 out of 5 stars 10,out of 10,100 so good highly recommend to,everyone i cant really imagine anyone,not liking this show because,its funny its relatable weirdly it,has really interesting complex,and just really fun characters like i,love every single character in this show,there is not,one character that annoys me one,character that i just like dont really,care about i literally,am obsessed with all of them like nadja,she is a badass baller but shes,also,funny as hell shes ridiculous and i,love everything about her,laszlo is probably my favorite character,hes absolutely hilarious,he has this weird cockiness and this,very dry,humor that he delivers just so well hes,played by matt berry whos kind of the,only,like known face in this show there are a,lot of cameos by,famous people like tilda swinton is in,this beanie feldstein nick kroll has a,recurring role like theres a lot of,huge people,in this show but like the main cast is,pretty much nobodys and,i kind of love that but yes lazlo is,amazing nandor,is oh hes just precious and i love him,i especially love him and guillermos,chemistry together like they just,they have this amazing chemistry and,its so funny because they just,they just cant connect like theyre,just not on the same page,ever but guillermo is his familiars and,hes just like trying to please him and,hes like yes master whatever you say,but like,just oh oh its so good and then colin,robinson,i already kind of ranted about how much,i love him but hes so good,hes so good and they all have their own,like individual stories like,colin robinson has a whole episode about,him and its one of my favorite episodes,laszlo has a whole episode where he like,goes on this journey and,it is so so good,also im not sure how else i can tell,you,how much i love this show unless i point,out this this one thing,so i got a dog i got a puppy,and um hang on just hang on one second,hang on,everybody i would like you to meet lazlo,hello,[Music],so this is lazlo hi phoebe,you know we just finished binge watching,both seasons of what we do in the,shadows,and we were like what should we name him,and then we were just like,lets name him laszlo hes such a great,name,isnt his eyes yeah isnt he such a,great name,oh youre a little vampire,youre a little vampire i love you so,much,okay hes getting antsy were gonna put,him back were gonna put you back okay,lets go,so yeah you need any proof that i love,this show,there you go i named my freaking dog,after a character from this show,i also loved it so much that i watched,season one then i watched season two,and i loved it so much i didnt want to,end that i literally started it over,and i watched season one in season two,again so yeah what we do in the shadows,is amazing please watch it if you are a,fan of,being entertained if the vampire thing,throws you off its not like spooky,or scary or bloody or gory its,literally just,a comedy i just happen to be vampires,and do,vampire things but its put in this,different,light that you dont normally see,vampires in like theyre just,idiots like theyre morons and theyre,just like trying to live life,but like they dont know how to do,anything and they just keep getting into,mischief and doing all these stupid,things,and its just very entertaining so yeah,what we do in the shadows is amazing i,highly recommend it so,tell me if you guys have seen this show,in the comments below,sorry i would love to hear your thoughts,if you did watch it,and lets talk about it because im,obsessed with this show and more people,need to watch it because its so,freaking good,okay that is all for today thank you,guys so much for watching and i will see,you in my next video,[Music],bye,[Music],[Music],bye
How the “What We Do in the Shadows” TV Show Gets It Right
what we do in the shadows is one of my,favorite comedy movies I think its,really clever and honestly I think its,nearly perfect I made a video on it,about a year ago that has since blown up,for me at first I wondered why this old,video was getting so many views but then,I remembered that the movie had a TV,adaption that was currently airing now,you may be wondering that if Im such a,big fan of the movie why I wasnt,already watching the TV show and its,because I honestly thought it would suck,movies have been turned into TV shows,before and its been a disaster so I,really didnt expect much from this TV,show even if Taika Waititi was involved,to some extent because I doubted the,quality of the final product I never,really considered watching it and pretty,much completely forgot about it until,now,considering the overwhelmingly positive,response to the show I decided to,finally check it out to my surprise the,what we do in the shadows TV show is,actually great I was so surprised at how,much I found myself laughing through,every episode everything that I said,about the movie in my video also applies,to the TV show its clearly the team,behind this TV show understood why the,movie worked so well like the movie the,show satirizes vampires not by trying to,make them an obnoxious exaggeration but,by putting them in boring mundane,situations the dull normalcy of their,lives is juxtaposed with the fantastic,reality that they are vampires as a,result the atmosphere and tone of the,show is nearly identical to that of the,movie it would have been really easy for,the writers to make a cheap uninspired,knockoff that tried to make the exact,same jokes for fanservice while,completely missing what made the show,work in the first place but this show,takes the opposite approach that isnt,to say it doesnt have moments where it,dips into cheap knockoff territory but,those few negative moments are far,outweighed by the positives because,overall the show takes the ideas in the,movie and greatly expands on them for,example one of my favorite jokes in the,movie was the virgin blood seen and how,vampires struggled to find virgins in a,world where the sexual revolution has,already happened the TV show takes this,idea and shows how vampires would,realistically get virgins by stalking,and preying on fantasy nerds who were,into,play and roleplay the comedy in the,scenario writes itself it leads to,scenes where virgins are fooled into,thinking theyre about to have a sexual,experience before the vampire goes in,for the kill,maybe we should just start with mouth,stuff okay just mouth stuff it also,introduces new characters like the,energy vampire this is the guy in your,workplace that gets on your nerves hes,the guy you dont want to talk to,because as soon as he opens his mouth he,wont shut up about whatever,uninteresting topic hes on a tangent,about and it portrays this common office,stereotype as an evil vampire that feeds,off of the negative energy he induces in,other people as clever as all of this,expansion is the show just does not stop,it takes these ideas even further it,doesnt just ask what would happen if,the annoying guy in your workplace was,an energy vampire it also asks what if,two energy vampires were in the same,workplace and had to battle it out for,dominance the results had been rolling,on the floor the show also continues to,bring different aspects of vampire lore,into the modern world for example an,elder vampire visits the main cast and,commands them to take over America again,while in medieval times this may be as,simple as killing the king and modern,day they have to go to a state Senate,meeting and listen to long and boring,conversations about policy council Madam,President this is then taken further by,juxtaposing the dull judicial process,with fantastical threats made by the,vampires to meet and receive mercy thank,you for your input also if you liked the,werewolves from the movie then get ready,because they come back for blood in the,show and their battle with the vampires,is so clever and so funny that I,honestly dont want to spoil it for,anyone who hasnt seen it there are so,many things that this show gets right,and its because it understands that,what we do in the shadows wasnt just a,parody of vampire,or it was also a satire of modern life,by using vampires to satirize nerd in,office culture the show nearly perfectly,recreates the comedy of the film like,the movie it creates comedy by,juxtaposition and through clever writing,that takes advantage of the potential of,its characters I am blown away by this,show and how close it was able to,capture the tone in the quality of the,movie after watching only a few episodes,I was so excited that I had to talk,about it in a video if youre a fan of,the movie and you havent checked this,show out because you were a doubter like,me go check it out right now because I,think itll really surprise you now if,youll excuse me I need to go watch the,other episodes Im Miranda the Vandal,and thank you for watching,[Music],you

How “What We Do In The Shadows” Creates Clever Vampire Humor
Im pretty new to the works of Taika,Waititi I heard his name mentioned over,the past couple of years but I never,really visited any of his films until I,saw his marvel movie Thor Ragnarok he,brought such a fresh energy and sense of,quirky humor to the character that its,now one of the standout movies of the,MCU for me after Thor Ragnarok I was,finally convinced to watch his other,films after all if I liked what I was,seeing in a Marvel movie from him I,would probably like it even more if a,studio wasnt filtering his sense of,humor after doing some investigating,what I found was solid evidence that,Taika Waititi is probably the greatest,comedic director working today recently,Ive been watching through his,filmography hunt for the will door,and most recently what we do in the,shadows I really enjoyed all of these,movies they were really funny,incredibly quirky surprisingly creative,and in some cases even endearing out of,all of these what we do in the shadows,is probably my favorite of his so far,and in this video Im going to try to,explain why I think thats the case by,analysing the films creative and clever,vampire humor now in case youre,unfamiliar with the movie what we do in,the shadows is about a group of vampires,living together in a New Zealand flat it,chronicles their misadventures together,and their struggles to deal with each,other as they live under the same roof,the film is presented in mockumentary,esque style where humans have made an,agreement with the vampires to film,their lives for a documentary right off,the bat I was really impressed with the,concept of this movie the thought of,several vampires living in a modern-day,flat in New Zealand sounds funny enough,already,it also helps that I love mockumentary,style movies and TV shows like spinal,tap and American vandal and I wasnt,disappointed because the movie,definitely delivers on the potential of,its premise from the start,comedy is created through the clashing,personalities of these vampires who were,all very different from each other their,personalities are all parodies of,typical vampire portrayals we have the,six crazed ones that also tortures,people the cool bad-boy vampire that you,would see in movies like Lost Boys or,Twilight a hilarious parody of the,traditional nos ferrata vampire from the,silent film era and a timid polite,vampire played by the director himself,each character represents an exaggerated,cliche of vampire lore alone these,parodies would be amusing enough,but together the clash between these,characters leads to scenes like this,however as great as these things are,what TD doesnt just settle for clashing,character types to generate humour he,also takes full advantage of the nature,of his characters by placing them in,modern times often when we think of,vampires we only think of them in,medieval settings and thats because,vampires would have run into a lot of,problems if they existed today one,problem that I always thought of when,placing vampires in the 21st century is,their obsession with a virgin blood,after the sexual revolution and,normalization of casual sex vampires,would have a much harder time finding,that perfect virgin to kill the movie,addresses this problem with the,hilarious scene where two humans are,brought to the vampires flat by their,human servant because she assumes that,they are virgins when in reality neither,of them actually are are you a virgin,Im not okay Im really sorry because I,totally pinned her as a virgin we also,get to experience their amazement at,modern technology which they discover,later than everyone else because their,perception of time is so much slower due,to their immortality they dont pay,attention to technological advantages,and cultural shifts so things like the,internet and cell phones are pretty easy,to miss out on on the first few decades,theyre around,beyond adjusting to modern life though,it shows how vampires would struggle to,do normal day-to-day things like,entering a building since vampires cant,enter a place unless invited it even,shows how they would struggle to keep,their homes clean since their nightly,feasts would likely leave blood all over,the place however the movie takes the,concept of the modern vampire even,further by turning a young human,character into a vampire while the other,older vampires hide their true,identities because they have,historically been hunted for it the new,modern vampire can walk around,announcing his vamper ism without much,consequence because today vampires have,been made hip and cool by movies like,Twilight and blade so what used to be a,secret is now used as a conversation,starter at parties however vampires are,not the only mythological creatures that,exist in this movie we see our main,characters brush shoulders with,werewolves who are treated as rivals and,even zombies werewolves are hilariously,portrayed as nice guys who have an,uncontrollable temper but,flinching since immorality just like the,vamper characters the werewolves are,also an exaggerated take on werewolf,protagonists and the Jacqueline Hyde,dynamic theres tons of other clever,things this movie does as well like how,the movie makes solo fun of how vampires,are always portrayed as male and old,folktales when the vampires female,servant complains that they wont bite,her dick biting club and Im stuck here,I [ __ ] froze now Ive just told you,about all these really great things in,the movie and they all sound great on,paper but in most other movies their,execution will be loud obnoxious and,mindless it would be the exact opposite,of the clever execution of what we do in,the shadows what makes these concepts,work is with teetee cents for finding,comedy and the mundane what TD doesnt,try to make vampires living in a flat,together in New Zealand look traumatic,or chaotic in some exaggerated way he,uses the setting to depict the dullness,and awkwardness of their everyday,activities and interactions the reason,we find this mundane execution funny is,because of our tendency to laugh at our,own lives we laugh at past experiences,in hindsight after falling down we laugh,at ourselves and laugh at others for,doing the same even though the situation,or action may have been serious for you,as it happened after its over its easy,to reflect on how ridiculous it all was,as time passes we become detached from,the situation and we become spectators,of our own lives its why we can laugh,at a guy freaking out at McDonalds over,a cup of sauce or a kid throwing a,tantrum over a video game for the people,in that situation it may have been,serious but for spectators to test for,the situation its easy to laugh at,because of the overly dramatic people in,this incredibly mundane situation thats,the elements of human experience that,were TD taps into in what we do in the,shadows it depicts mundane events that,are serious for the characters but,amusing for the audience its kind of,like a comedy that reminds us of the,ridiculousness of our own lives and,inspires the same kind of laughter that,happens when we reflect on our own lives,this makes scenes like the vampires,encounter with the werewolves all the,more funny since the characters are so,dramatic,engage in a ridiculously mundane,situation its this sort of contrast,that makes tiger with TDs movies so,funny and what makes the vampire humor,and what we do in the shadows so clever,and effective with thor ragnarok giving,him a newfound exposure as a director,within the public eye and in the,industry I cant wait to see what type,of TD does with the premise of his next,movie and in case youre not familiar,with the premise of his next movie hes,going to be playing Hitler yeah Taika,Waititi is going to be playing Hitler,this is going to be hilarious Im,Randall vandal thanks for watching,[Music]

What We Do in the Shadows Review – Off The Shelf Reviews
What We Do In The Shadows Renewed For Seasons 5 And 6
chris what is our third main topic today,this ones from don merritt hi john and,crew its funny that you guys mentioned,what we do in shadows on your show and,today we got news that it hasnt been,renewed for season five before season,four even aired but theyve also given,the green light for season six,i dont think theres been a tv show,that made me consistently laugh as hard,as what we do in shadows in a long time,like really long what do you guys think,about the extension and how long do you,think it can run,i dont you know if my day gets brought,down a little bit with the thought that,theyre gonna end ted lasso after season,three,it soars again finding out that they not,only ruined it for another season like,we just got four is about to start not,only they announced that theyve renewed,for season five theyve renewed it for,season six this is a show,what we do in the shadows that i admit,fully i hated the idea of,when they first announced it i hated the,idea yeah i knew taikawati was going to,be involved to a degree but it sounded,like a poor mans version of the,brilliant movie its like oh my god you,cant do this as a show especially if,youre not bringing if its not going to,start taika with td and uh,jer jer whats his name uh,jermaine yeah jeremy clements,thank you jermaine clemons if youre not,its not gonna have the cast of the,movie whats the point this is just a,pathetic grab its some whatever you,know what we do in the shadows had a,moment as a movie by the way the movie,is,remarkably good um its what got taika,with t to the thor movie but,i was completely against it this is a,dumb idea,and then they launched with the first,couple of episodes i think and my wife,came to my fan came to me she said,have you watched that what we do in the,shadow show yet im like no im not,going to bother with that shes like you,might want to reconsider that,like really i said is it funny she goes,im not going to say anything i just,think you should reconsider you should,give it a shot,like okay,ive never gone back,i was hooked from episode one this show,probably is the funniest show like,ted lasso its got it comes with so many,elements it is hilarious but its filled,with charm and warmth and love and,smiles and rainbows but,what we do in the shadows there is not a,show that more consistently makes me,laugh out loud thats airing right now,than what we do in the shadows with that,uh nandor,i think is the greatest thing on tv,nandor is like the greatest guy in tv,right now so many great things,you know gizmo guillermo uh whatever,nadia i mean just jackie daytona,everything about this show,sings it absolutely sings its filthy,its got some really raunchy humor oh my,god the episode with mark hamill,the the episode,mark hamill was so freaking good mark,hamill has a vampire uh a derelict a,deadbeat landlord a vampire,its so good to hear them say look we,know this works,and again its like the ted lasso thing,its like they know it nobody cares,about the story of whats going on i,mean finding out guillermos descendant,of van helsing is actually a vampire,hunter thats pretty cool but we just,want to see these vampires hanging out,and talk,and they know that and theyre,greenlighted for another two this this,show has not slowed down for me ive,watched three full seasons now its not,lost its pace anyway chris you hear,about this theyve greenland it for,seasons five and six what do you make of,this this is wonderful this is my day i,love it i think this is great,i love how much everyone on this show,clearly is having fun too yeah i mean,matt berry is just a gift to us all um,one of my favorite things to do is make,logan say boring things as matt barry um,so hell run around the house and be,like darling do you need me to do,laundry,um but so i i love that i love that the,actor who plays guillermo is so invested,in this show too that he does a lot of,his own stunt work yeah he wanted to,make sure that he looked cool doing all,of this everyones so funny theres so,many great cameos on it people are dying,to be on this show and i think audiences,really really love it because like you,i i was a little delayed where i went ah,the movies great i dont know if im,going to watch this and i havent looked,back since it is a absolute laugh riot,and they can take the most mundane thing,like going to a super bowl party or a,superb owl,and theyll make it so great,i love it,rob you hear about this what do you make,of them renewing it for seasons five six,before season four even airs look,clearly i mean this show what i love,about the show is it knows exactly what,it is everyones on the same page and,like you said,clearly everyone is having a great time,i have to tell you i bought the movie,on blu-ray not a surprise right what was,the surprise was i dont think i watched,it for like two years,this is before the series two or three,years you know its one of those things,where you hear about it but you didnt,see it im like oh i have to have this,in my collection i didnt really know,why just i heard people rob youre gonna,love this bite so its one of those,things it was kind of like spielbergs,lincoln i didnt see lincoln in the,theater and i just had on this i kept,moving it down the stack im like do i,really want to watch a movie about,abraham lincoln and then when i watched,it i watched it five times in a week i,watch it every day for a week thats how,much i love lincoln,this thing,i i put it on,and i watched the first 10 minutes and,im like,this is the greatest thing ever and i,went back and i wanted to watch i,watched the 10 minutes again,and i i think ive seen this movie 50,times and im like okay this to me was,the successor of spinal tap you know,that yeah,thats a good question,and like where where even though its a,complete goof,it still works its still a legitimate,genre movie even though its complete,outright comedy what they do with all of,the with werewolves and vampires and the,culture and all that and the mythology,it all worked really really well and i,thought that was fascinating,when the show was on im like,all you have to do is watch the first,episode and yeah okay this is capturing,lightning in a bottle,it doesnt cost a lot,the people that are making this show are,they probably show up with bells on,every day it does not surprise me that a,show like this gets to a two season,renewal because this is the kind of,entertainment that you want to me thats,the way the world it should be like this,you should be renewing a tv show for two,years you know especially when youre,talking about seasons five and six,i think its well deserved i think were,all better off and if youre if youre a,horror or science fiction fan and youve,never watched this show,do it go get the movie first because i,think the movies so good yeah so the,only question that i have is have you,conquered staten island,so by the way and the guys at fx and,hulu they know,theyve got a winner on the their hands,this comes to us from the folks at,variety they wrote the following what we,do in the shadows,has been renewed for both season five,and season six at fx the announcement,comes ahead of the popular comedys,fourth season premiere,theres a lot of life left in our,favorite vampires from staten island and,fx couldnt be more thrilled to commit,to two additional seasons of this,phenomenal series said nick grad,president of original programming for,effects to entertainment what we do in,the shadows excels on every level from,the brilliant cast of the surprising,guest stars to the producers writers,directors and crew we cant wait for,everyone to enjoy season four knowing,that the next two are on the way and,again that comes up from the folks at,variety they said it all right there,yeah they they know exactly what theyve,got by the way the episode where they go,to viva atlantic city,i mean that that whole episode where,they do the heist with the boxing match,everythings so great about this show,anyway guys question is for you do you
