Vampires at the Flea Market?! You Bet Your Bat Wings!
Okay, folks, buckle up because What We Do In The Shadows just hit a new level of hilarious absurdity with episode 7! Seriously, who thought we'd see Nandor haggling over a creepy doll at a flea market? I didn't, but I'm so glad it happened.
The main storyline? Nadja, bless her eternally youthful (and undead) heart, decides the vampire nightclub isn't cutting it. She needs a new spark, a fresh vibe, something... more flea market-y? Basically, she needs to diversify her portfolio of spooky businesses.
Nandor's Midlife… Un-death Crisis?
Meanwhile, Nandor is spiraling. His 40 or so djinn wishes are dwindling, and he's using them on the most ridiculous things! Like, wishing for slightly fluffier pillows or a sandwich that doesn't give him indigestion. Priorities, Nandor, priorities!
And then there's the flea market. Oh, the flea market! Imagine Nandor, ancient warrior and once-feared conqueror, trying to barter with a sweet old lady over a porcelain cat. It's comedy gold, I tell you!
"This cat... it is... adequate. But I will offer you... five dollars." - Nandor, professional negotiator.
The utter humiliation is a delicious treat for us viewers. He is so serious. And yet he is in the middle of a flea market.
Guillermo: Vampire Hunter... or Wingman?
Let's not forget our beloved Guillermo! He’s still trying to balance his slayer instincts with his unwavering (and let's be honest, slightly worrying) loyalty to Nandor. He is also forced to help Nadja at the flea market.
Seeing him carry around a stack of creepy dolls while trying to subtly stake any suspicious characters is just peak Guillermo. He is always forced to do a number of thankless tasks.
Colin Robinson: The Energy Vampire's Flea Market Paradise
Of course, Colin Robinson is in his element. A flea market is a buffet of boredom for him! Imagine the endless supply of dull conversations and mildly interesting junk he can drain the life out of.
He finds a guy selling commemorative plates. The look on Colin’s face, that almost orgasmic delight at the prospect of discussing the intricacies of porcelain craftsmanship? Priceless. Simply priceless.
Laszlo: Always Up to No Good (and Usually Naked)
What about Lazslo, you ask? He doesn’t have a ton to do this episode, but of course he manages to get into some sort of bizarre, vaguely disturbing situation. I won’t spoil it, but let’s just say it involves a vintage medical device and a healthy dose of Lazslo’s signature… eccentricity.
It’s probably something he found in a dumpster. Honestly, that's where you can usually find Lazslo.
The Verdict? A Must-Watch!
Overall, episode 7 is another winner. It's packed with the show's signature blend of witty writing, slapstick humor, and genuinely heartwarming (in a weird, vampire-y way) moments. It's truly one of the best comedies currently on television.
If you need a good laugh, or just want to escape the mundane for a while, dive into the bizarre world of What We Do In The Shadows. You won't regret it! Unless you're a porcelain doll, in which case… maybe hide.
Seriously, watch it. You'll thank me later. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go try and haggle with my neighbor over his gnome collection.
