I'm going to assume he just did to the house what he does to jobs, he just walked in one morning set up his room and before anyone else had the common sense to question it he was a fixture.

There was a Seinfeld episode where Kramer does that with a job, and that inspired a homeless guy in NYC to actually do it. He bought a suit at a thrift store for $5 and went to "work" every day. He was able to eat every day for free, either because some department ordered pizza or he'd just find someone he hadn't talked to yet, act like he knew them, and "borrow a few bucks for lunch" because he "lost his wallet". He slept in empty meeting rooms or closets, or sat in on meetings, etc, then stayed up all night. He did it for 2 years and never got caught.

My favorite part of the episode that no one has mentioned is when Colin Robinson comes in after his first day of being boss and his phone call is him going back and forth with someone, obviously bugging them, about whether or not they're in the office.

I'm seriously hoping the series finale has a Seinfeld style thing with them against all the people they've pissed off in the past in some kind of battle royale.

Only it turns out everybody blames Vampire Batista for their bullshit instead. He gets sentenced to another 1000 years of sitting in a room to think about what he did(n't do). Edit: Wait hang on a loving second.... Jackie Daytona was Laszlo all along!?! I was wondering why they suddenly shifted to some entirely new character whose story we'd never seen before. The Colinrobinson bits with Nadja and the doll were incredible. Jerusalem fucked around with this message at 08:40 on May 14, 2020 |

The two best gags were: 1.) Laszlo's toothpick disguise 2.) Laszlo's toothpick disguise legitimately fooling Jim the vampire The entire vampire community doesn't have a single brain cell among them and it's great.

My theory is that Laszlo wasn't trying to screw Jim the Vampire over when he repaid his dept with that Big Mouth Billy Bass, he legitimately thought it was a rare and extraordinary treasure.

tmm3k posted:I think this probably true, and makes the whole bit even funnier. They were just mesmerized by it, not realizing it was a piece of kitsch that has been around for over 20 years. To be fair, to a person from hundreds of years ago (which Jim and Laszlo both are) that singing Bass really would be a mechanical miracle.

And because I had never heard of a "mechanical turk," so I looked it up: wikipedia posted:The Turk was in fact a mechanical illusion that allowed a human chess master hiding inside to operate the machine. With a skilled operator, the Turk won most of the games played during its demonstrations around Europe and the Americas for nearly 84 years, playing and defeating many challengers including statesmen such as Napoleon Bonaparte and Benjamin Franklin. The device was later purchased in 1804 and exhibited by Johann Nepomuk Mälzel. The chess masters who secretly operated it included Johann Allgaier, Boncourt, Aaron Alexandre, William Lewis, Jacques Mouret, and William Schlumberger, but the operators within the mechanism during Kempelen's original tour remain a mystery.

I love that the entire Jackie Daytona saga is only a "weeks" time. "Fucken guy..." indeed Also did anyone catch Lazlo talking about the indie band with the same name in the credits?

It reminds me of the best scene from that Netflix Dracula miniseries a few months ago, where Drac is looking around in amazement at a dumpy modern home after sleeping 100 years. The owner shrugs and says "It's a dump" and he's like "Bitch I've met ever ruler in Europe and every single one of them would literally kill to have a room like this."

Have you seen the rooms that rulers in Europe had? Netflix Dracula is extremely bad and almost nothing in it makes sense.

Yeah, which makes it even better that when Jim the Vampire shows up 150 years from now and eventually Laszlo remembers who he is, he's gonna get pissed that Jim the Vampire didn't appreciate the great gift he gave him.

I've seen the actors mention that their costumes reflect when each felt most prosperous. So Nandor is in late medieval outfits while Laszlo wears Victorian dress. Maybe someone can tell me what style Nadja is wearing.
