A Hilarious Road Trip Gone Wrong: What We Do in the Shadows S3 E9
Okay, picture this: vampires, a road trip, and utter chaos. That's pretty much What We Do in the Shadows in a nutshell. But Season 3, Episode 9? It takes the crazy to a whole new level.
We’re talking about “A Farewell.” It’s an episode centered around the gang taking Guillermo on a farewell tour. Sounds sweet, right? Think again!
Why This Episode Rocks
First off, the humor is top-notch. The writing is sharp, the jokes are ridiculous, and the delivery? Impeccable. Every character gets their moment to shine… or, you know, be hilariously awkward.
The main plot is simple: Guillermo is leaving. But the brilliance is in the details. The reactions, the interactions, the sheer absurdity of these vampires trying to do something nice (and failing spectacularly).
Let's be real: They’re terrible at being supportive. It's what makes them so loveable. Imagine trying to plan a surprise party for someone who protects you from sunlight and would actually kill you if he wanted to.
Plus, this episode shows the growing relationship between Nandor and Guillermo. The complicated dynamic is both sweet and absurdly funny. He's trying to be supportive but everything just ends up making the situation worse.
Unforgettable Moments
The farewell tour itself is gold. Think tourist traps, awkward conversations, and vampires trying (and failing) to blend in with regular people. The vampire nightclub scene alone is worth the price of admission.
And let’s not forget Laszlo's misguided attempts at being helpful. His… unique… understanding of human emotions always provides a good laugh. He tries his best to empathize, bless his heart.
Nadja's dry wit and sarcastic commentary are on point as usual. She provides the perfect counterpoint to the chaos around her. Also, she makes you wish you had a friend that honest.
Even Colin Robinson gets some memorable moments. He manages to be boring in the most entertaining way possible. The writers are just really good at knowing how to use his character.
“This night is going to be legendary!” – Nandor, probably not understanding what that phrase really means.
More Than Just Laughs
While “A Farewell” is hilarious, it also has heart. You see the bonds between these characters, even if they express it in weird ways. There are real moments of caring amidst the silliness. Maybe it is just from Guillermo saving their un-lives all the time.
It’s a reminder that even immortal beings can have feelings. It's easy to root for these characters, even when they’re being awful. They are a dysfunctional family.
Why You Should Watch It
If you’re looking for a show that will make you laugh out loud, What We Do in the Shadows is it. And “A Farewell” is a prime example of everything that makes the show great.
It's clever, absurd, and surprisingly heartwarming. What more could you want? Get ready for an unforgettable (and hilarious) road trip with the world’s most incompetent vampires.
Seriously, go watch it now! You won't regret it. Especially the part when Nandor tries to console Guillermo!
