What We Do In The Shadows Season 1 Trailer

Okay, picture this: vampires. But not the sparkly, brooding kind. Think more… clumsy, endearingly clueless, and utterly ridiculous.

That's the vibe we get from the Season 1 trailer of What We Do In The Shadows, and honestly, it's comedic gold.

A Documentary Crew & Staten Island Shenanigans

The genius of the show, and perfectly showcased in the trailer, is that it's a mockumentary. A camera crew follows the daily (or rather, nightly) lives of four vampire roommates living in Staten Island.

Yes, Staten Island. Because even vampires can’t afford Manhattan these days. These vampires are Nandor the Relentless, Laszlo Cravensworth, and Nadja.

Introducing the Roommates (and Guillermo!)

Nandor, a self-proclaimed fearsome warrior, seems more like a well-meaning but ultimately ineffective leader. He tries, bless his undead heart.

Laszlo and Nadja, a married couple, are all dramatic pronouncements and questionable schemes. They squabble like any old married couple, just with more immortal baggage.

And then there's Guillermo, Nandor's long-suffering familiar. Played brilliantly by Harvey Guillén, he's basically the show's unsung hero.

The trailer perfectly sets up this dynamic: Guillermo doing all the chores, cleaning up vampire messes, and secretly hoping for the day he'll finally become a vampire himself.

Trailer Highlights: Bat Transformations & Vampire Councils

The trailer throws us right into the chaotic lives of these vampires. We see awkward attempts at flying (bat transformations aren't always graceful), arguments over who's turn it is to do the dishes, and general vampire-related ineptitude.

One of the funniest moments is the introduction of the local vampire council. Picture a stuffy meeting room filled with… well, vampires. It's less "Twilight" and more "Waiting for Guffman" with fangs.

The trailer promises a clash of cultures, as these old-world vampires try (and fail) to navigate modern life. Think struggling with internet shopping, misunderstanding human customs, and generally being out of touch.

Why You Should Watch (or Rewatch!) Season 1

The What We Do In The Shadows Season 1 trailer isn't just funny; it's cleverly funny. The humor comes from the characters, their relationships, and the absurd situations they find themselves in.

It’s a refreshing take on the vampire genre. It doesn't take itself too seriously, opting for witty writing and relatable characters over brooding romance and gothic angst.

The show has heart. Beneath all the vampire antics, there's a surprising amount of camaraderie and even affection between the roommates. They're dysfunctional, sure, but they're a family.

If you're looking for a comedy that's smart, silly, and genuinely hilarious, What We Do In The Shadows Season 1 is the perfect choice. The trailer is just a taste of the brilliance that awaits.

So, ditch the sparkly vampires and embrace the Staten Island undead. You won't regret it! Watch What We Do In The Shadows, especially if you like dry humor.

Prepare to laugh until you cough up… well, maybe not blood, but definitely a hearty chuckle or two.
