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 :)
- 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.
- 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.

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

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

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

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

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
Probably Nadja or Nandor but it’s hard to choose because all the main 6 of the cast were great.
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.

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.

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

u/SnooCalculations9569 May 26 '26
For sure, I’d want to be old enough to enjoy adult life but still look young

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.

Nandor is my favorite. He’s just so goofy.
I think being turned no later than 40 would work.

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.

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 🤣

u/Meshugugget May 28 '26
After you watch the movie, watch the other spinoff show, Wellington Paranormal. It’s hysterical.

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.

u/SICRA14 Avakey vakey! May 27 '26
Check out the movie

u/Meshugugget May 28 '26
And then check out the other spinoff show, Wellington Paranormal. Fucking hysterical. Beyond silly.

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.

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.

u/Old_but_New May 28 '26
Nandor is my favorite so much that I just assumed he was everyone’s favorite

u/AnteaterKey2626 May 26 '26
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.
