What We Do In the Shadows S1 E4

Spoilers

“Manhattan Night Club”

Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, Colin and Guillermo head to a Manhattan night club in order to try and secure an alliance with other vampires in their continued effort to gain control of the land.

This was another very funny episode that reminded me of an episode of The Tick.

I know that is strange, but in the animated Tick show, episode “Tick vs. Tick,” the Tick goes to a superhero club and fights with another hero using the same name. What especially reminded me of that episode was the “Sidekick Lounge” which is where Arthur went. He found a group of sad sack sidekicks that had been regulated to the lounge.

In “Manhattan Night Club,” Guillermo went to the “Familiar Lounge,” in search of a bathroom, where he met a group of sad sack familiars. I could see the similarities to that Tick episode.

Things do not work out for our group though as the whole escapade was a trap in order for the head vampire, Simon the Devious (played by Nick Kroll), to get his hands on Laszlo’s hat.

Yes, his hat.

That hat was not just any hat. It was cursed. Laszlo refused to accept it, despite the overwhelming evidence supporting the cursed theory. I mean, after Simon stole the hat, he accidentally blew the club up.

Definitely cursed.
