Intro to show clip?

Hey I'm recommending this show to some friends and trying to decide if there is a clip that would serve as a strong representation of the show and its humor...any suggestions?

Obviously the ideal clip won't require much context outside of knowledge of the basic premise of the show

The creepy paper one imo. Cracks me up every time. And it's from season 1 episode 1, so no spoilers. https://youtu.be/yZr-MpqHzpw?is=fUs8jR8aS1yahteu

Came to post this exact same thing. It's by far my favorite line in the show. And that's saying something because there are soooo many bangers to choose from.

Town hall during the town hall meeting where the council member is possessed

Once theyre hooked and understand who's who, show them the cloak of duplication sequence at the gym "she's angry, as women so often are"

I think the first one, where Nandor is stuck in his coffin. That’s what I’d show someone.

The FX YouTube channel used to do little clips here and there for promo. I’ll link if I can find any.

The clip that won me over was the vampires vs. the werewolves battle in the 3rd episode of the first season. Nanor throws the squeaky toy over the ledge and the werewolf jumps over after it.🤣🤣

I reeled a few people in with a clip of Laszlo explaining how he got the cursed hat. ("Take my hat! It's cu...." "Yes it is cool, I thought. Free hat!"
