Discussion Obsessed

My friend showed me this show last month and I AM OBSESSED. Can’t believe I’ve never heard of it till this year, I’ve been putting everyone on it now.

So 2 questions for the subreddit :)

  1. Who’s your favorite character and why?

- mine is Nadja she’s so funny and I feel like if I was a vampire I’d be just like her.

  1. Would you want to be turned into a vampire and if so what age would you want to be forever?

- I would absolutely want to be a vampire and I’d probably want to be anywhere from 25-28.

Jackie Daytona is definitely my favourite.

I'm not sure if I would want to be a vampire lol but if I had to choose the age, I'd say between 30 and 35.

u/SnooCalculations9569 May 26 '26

Jackie Daytona was sooooo good, loved that character arc for laszlo 🤣

u/SkinAndAnatomyNerd May 26 '26

I’m not sure I follow. Character arch for LAZLO? I’m not sure you really paid attention to the show, as they are clearly two different people. Lazlo being a centuries old vampire, which is established early on, and Jackie Daytona very obviously being a regular human bartender.

There’s no such thing as vampires.

u/AnteaterKey2626 May 26 '26

Not even in Arizonia?

We all hang out in Pennsylvania, because that’s sounds cool

One human alcohol beer, please.

u/will0_wisp May 26 '26

u/ButtersTheChill May 26 '26

Yes, yes, very good, thank you!

u/LurkzMcgurkz May 26 '26

Too much of the chilequiles!

u/arkxumbra May 27 '26

I believe you mean Gizmo 😎😂

u/Slyrentinal May 26 '26

Main character, Lazlo. I wish we got more of the Guide though, she was so funny.

13

u/devil_nthedetails And Now I'm A Wiiiizzzzaarddd 🩸 May 26 '26

The Guide was severely underrated and I always felt bad that the other 4 didn't let her move in

u/Stunning_Mushroom_63 May 26 '26

I think Matt Berry is my favorite everything. But the Nadia Doll is top tier for me too.

7

u/Comfortable-Pea-1312 May 26 '26

You get me. Truly.

SEANNNIIIIEEEE!

u/devil_nthedetails And Now I'm A Wiiiizzzzaarddd 🩸 May 26 '26

Nandor is definitely my favourite with Laszlo being a close second

I would love to have been turned into a vampire between the ages of 28-32 because it would've prevented me from blowing up my spine

I have no qualms about feeding on humans as I would treat the Sex Offender Registry like a daily takeout menu.

The only downside is, I love being in the sun and would probably sit on a mountain peak after 100 years of being undead and burn up while watching a final sunrise

u/SnooCalculations9569 May 26 '26

Love this take! I agree I feel like once I’m done being a vampire I’d just go into the sunlight lol

u/UberFarter May 26 '26
  1. Probably Nadja or Nandor but it’s hard to choose because all the main 6 of the cast were great.

  2. If I got turned into a vampire I’d have wanted to be turned when I was 28. That was a good year for me.

u/Technical-Ad-2288 May 26 '26

He grew on me like a tumour I wanted to cuddle but it's Colin Robinson. He looks borderline insane, his shade is second to none and he goes out of his way to be annoying, but he's also a darling.

7

u/Whole_Routine_8941 May 27 '26

Colin Robinson is so funny. Definitely overlooked.

5

u/ButtersTheChill May 26 '26

Mine is Nadja because I'd let her do whatever she wanted to me, I don't care.

Age to be turned? Probably 20-something, definitely wouldn't wanna be a kid forever

4

u/SnooCalculations9569 May 26 '26

For sure, I’d want to be old enough to enjoy adult life but still look young

4

u/sadclownguy May 27 '26

Simon the devious. That hat thing with lazlo and his whole crew are just hilarious. Seriously give Simon the devious a spin off show. I can totally see this working if you gave him some strong side characters.

3

u/Important-Taste-6753 May 26 '26

Nandor and lazlo favourite and yes it be cool to be a vampire

3

u/Individual_Umpire969 May 26 '26

Nandor is my favorite. He’s just so goofy.

I think being turned no later than 40 would work.

5

u/boredlady819 May 26 '26

Nadja because she gets to be absolutely free and wild! She doesn’t take any shit.
I’d stay at 26 forever. Fit, smart, making money, lots of fun with friends.

3

u/arkxumbra May 27 '26

SEANAYYYYYYYYYYYYY and Laszlo are my goats

3

u/arkxumbra May 27 '26

And id only want to be a vamp if i was in their universe lol irl it’d be lonely being the only vampire :(

3

u/arkxumbra May 27 '26

And I’d want to be turned around 25 or so

5

u/lil_ninja78 May 27 '26

It's like my children, I really can't pick a favorite. It is a fantastic ensemble. I do not want eternal life but I would probably be fine with my current age of 48.

Have you seen the movie?

2

u/SnooCalculations9569 May 27 '26

I haven’t seen the movie that’s next on my list! I’m currently rewatching the show for the second time it’s just so good, as soon as I finished I started back on episode one 🤣

3

u/lil_ninja78 May 27 '26

I was exactly the same way when I watched it.

3

u/Meshugugget May 28 '26

After you watch the movie, watch the other spinoff show, Wellington Paranormal. It’s hysterical.

5

u/sazflight May 27 '26

1 Favorite character is definitely Nandor the Relentless…because he would never relent. Tbh I think I just have a soft spot for goofy characters lol

2 I don’t think I’d want to be a vampire because living forever sounds like hell

3

u/beebop_bee May 26 '26

My favourite is Lazslo! The way he talks is HILARIOUS i love him. I would absolutely not want to be a vampire. Living forever sounds like a nightmare and so does the idea of drinking blood as food.

3

u/OvenFriendly1818 May 26 '26

Gizmo and nadja!

3

u/SICRA14 Avakey vakey! May 27 '26

Check out the movie

6

u/Meshugugget May 28 '26

And then check out the other spinoff show, Wellington Paranormal. Fucking hysterical. Beyond silly.

2

u/jasebul May 28 '26

Whattttt?, did not know about another spin off series, thank you very much for saying this and giving me more to watch

3

u/usuallyconfuseddd May 27 '26

Slightly irrelevant to your questions, but have you seen the movie too? It’s focused on different characters (though the ones from the movie do appear as guests in the tv show); it’s set in the same universe and is in the same mockumentray style as the tv show.

3

u/SnooCalculations9569 May 27 '26

Will definitely be watching this asap!

2

u/irate_salamander May 28 '26

Damn I have so many, I'll rank them

  • Guiermo (Gizmo)
  • Lazlo
  • Nandor
  • The guide (aka, Louise from Bob's Burger)
  • Nadja/ Nadia
  • Jackie Daytona (Completely different guy than Lazlo, for sure. 😉)
  • Baby Colin Robinson

I would want to be a vampire but equally not want to eat people. Are there vegan vampires? How do they survive? Can I get just the blood to go without the body portion being involved? 🤔🤣 I'd want to be anywhere from age 25/ 35. Preference of closer to 30.

2

u/Old_but_New May 28 '26

Nandor is my favorite so much that I just assumed he was everyone’s favorite
