The funniest What We Do in the Shadows moments that will have you howling
By Ed Malaker
What We Do in the Shadows has become a standout on Hulu for its hilarious depiction of vampires, and many fans are upset that the final season is wrapping up. As we wait for the last episodes to air, we thought it would be a great time to look back on some of the funniest moments.
The funniest moments in What We Do in the Shadows
Guillermo’s vampire-hunting discovery
One of the biggest twists of the series comes when Guillermo, Nandor’s “familiar” and long-suffering assistant, learns he’s a natural vampire hunter with ancient Van Helsing blood running through his veins. This revelation sends him into a series of hilarious mishaps as he does his best not to kill any vampires. His earnest reactions and expressions make his accidental vanquishings even funnier.
Nandor’s awkward love pursuits
Nandor the Relentless may have been a fearsome warrior in his prime, but his approach to love is as outdated as his ancient robes. His bumbling attempts to date in the modern world are nothing short of comedy gold. The scene where he attempts online dating, filled with misunderstandings of modern vocabulary and dating etiquette, is a highlight. Another is when he tries to pick up the girl at the front counter of a gym.

Colin Robinson’s energy-draining techniques
Colin Robinson is different from the other vampires in that he is an energy vampire who feeds off the boredom and irritation of others instead of drinking their blood. His mind-numbing monologue and interruptions with painfully mundane facts provided with deadpan delivery are consistently hilarious and will remind you of real-life people you know.
“Superb Owl” misunderstanding
In one of the show’s most memorable episodes, Nandor and his vampire roommates misunderstand the concept of the Super Bowl, interpreting it as a celebration of a “Superb Owl.” They go all out, preparing elaborate decorations and expecting to encounter this mythical owl at a party.
The “wellness center” vampires
In one memorable episode, the vampire housemates come across a “wellness center” for vampires who want to live like humans. The center’s founder, a former vampire turned wellness guru, convinces them to abandon their supernatural abilities in favor of bland, human routines. Watching the vampires struggle to adapt to the wellness lifestyle, complete with yoga and smoothie bars, is both absurd and comical. Their inability to commit to the lifestyle, paired with the irony of vampires attending a wellness center, makes this one of the funniest and most memorable episodes.
