The Energy Vampire


Mark Prosch was a real life energy vampire long before What We Do in the Shadows.

This character should be written out. He sucks energy from the show.

reply

No way, he lends the perfect touch of modernism.

Boredom.

reply

Boredom? Then it's working. I think he's great.

reply

They are expanding his part, so I'm guessing a lot of people think he's great.

reply

He is the best part of the show.

reply

A lot of people think he's great, therefore he is great. Using that logic, I suppose Budweiser is a great beer and MacDonald's is a great restaurant.

I prefer episodes that focus on the three actual vampires; however, I will concede that Prosch does a good job of playing this character that I'm not very interested in.

reply

I'd argue that yes, a lot of people think that Budweiser is great, and since so many people enjoy the taste, then it is indeed great. McDonalds is different. They appeal very heavily to children, they are cheap, fast and convenient, but most adults don't think they taste great, but there are other positive things about it, hence the popularity. I'm afraid your comparison isn't valid.

reply

I concur.

reply

Of course he’s great! He’s Nate from the Office.

reply

this is amazing

reply

I actually find him stressful, in not a funny way - he's too much like actual people I know (as I'm sure we all know)

reply

Definitely the point.

reply

Looks to me like they're trying to make him the Creed (The Office) of this series.

reply

Here's been doing it since before that show.

reply

Okay, but I'm just saying it seems the producers have him (the character and/or actor) in the show hoping, I'm sure, that lightning strikes twice and that the character creates the same kind of weird/cool vibe that Creed brought to the Office. I am just starting this series on Hulu, and have only watched the pilot, but I hope that character remains in the shadows for the most part. It's the weakest part of the show...or at least the weakest of the pilot episode.

reply

He's not as prominent as the other vampires. I've only seen a few episodes of The Office, not familiar with Creed.

reply

After a few more episodes I'm starting to like his character a bit more.

reply

The scene at the city council is hilarious!
