Super Bowl Party What We Do In The Shadows

Okay, confession time. Super Bowl Sunday? It’s not really about the football for me.

It's about the snacks. And maybe the commercials, if they're funny.

Let's Talk Super Bowl Parties...

But here's a potentially controversial take: Super Bowl parties are basically What We Do in the Shadows, but with more buffalo chicken dip.

Think about it. A bunch of people crammed into a dimly lit space. Awkwardly navigating social situations?

First, you've got Nandor the Relentless. He's the guy who's way too into the game.

He yells at the TV. He knows all the stats. And he corrects everyone's football knowledge, even when he's wrong.

Then there's Laszlo Cravensworth. He's charming, a bit lewd, and only there for the "bat wings" (get it?).

He'll spend the whole time hitting on your Aunt Carol. He'll probably spill beer on the rug too.

And of course, we have Nadja of Antipaxos. She's judging everything.

The food, the decorations, the outfits. Mostly, she just complains in a low voice to whoever's unlucky enough to stand near her.

Don't forget Colin Robinson! He doesn't even need to be a vampire.

He's the guy who drones on and on about fantasy football. Or obscure details about the teams' history.

You can feel your life force slowly draining away just by being in his vicinity.

And poor Guillermo. He's the host, running around refilling drinks and cleaning up messes.

He just wants everyone to have a good time. While secretly wishing he could just watch the game in peace.

So, there you have it. A Super Bowl party is just a gathering of slightly dysfunctional "vampires."

Each draining energy in their own special way. Except Guillermo, who is just trying to keep everyone alive.

The stakes are high, the snacks are plentiful, and the social awkwardness is palpable.

And just like What We Do in the Shadows, you’re never quite sure what’s going to happen next.

The only time everyone truly unites is during the commercials. We all secretly hope for something funny.

Even Nandor, Laszlo, and Nadja can find common ground in a talking dog or a celebrity cameo.

So, is it fun? Maybe. Is it chaotic? Absolutely.

Will I be there next year? Probably. Because even with all the weirdness, there's something strangely comforting about it all.

And hey, at least there's buffalo chicken dip.
