Hey, everyone!
Just one more day left for New Zealand Comedy Month, which means I have one final (spooky!) post—What We Do in the Shadows and its spinoffs! 🧛♂️
I will be delving into the short film from 2005, the movie from 2014, and the two shows that resulted from the acclaimed vampire film.
The identically titled FX show, featuring Matt Berry and the first female lead vampire in the Jemaine/Taika universe: Nadja!
The program also has one of the best characters EVER imo, the energy vampire Colin Robinson.
And, of course, the wonderfully weird and sweet Wellington Paranormal, which is based on the two easily hypnotized cops from the movie.
The best character on that show is the hilarious Sergeant Maaka who makes fake button noises before “entering” into his secret paranormal room haha
I hope you enjoy the article, which will be available tomorrow morning, and keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

Me seeing people on twitter talking about morally grey characters like they're completely irredeemable and makes them abusive rapists as a result even though the bad actions they've done is only comparable to a Wile E. Coyote cartoon skit but gorier:
#cw: abuse mention#cw: rape mention#so i was on twitter- [THAT WAS A MISTAKE I KNOW]#and yes im talking about tf2 here#murder is morally neutral actually and it doesnt inherently mean that someone is evil or abusive#bro new zealand in the tf2 comics is just atlantis NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN TOO SERIOUSLY#“but medic kept spy's head in a fridge” IM SORRY BUT HOW DO YOU SAY THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE#scout died in a emotionally effective way in the comics BUT HE BELIEVED TOM JONES WAS TALKING TO HIM AND WAS HIS DAD#even the angst have comedy in the comics#you can explore these characters in however way you wish and i encourage it but DO NOT force those interpretations onto others#putting the words “abusive” and “manipulation” on the top shelf until you mfs learn to use them properly#tf2#proships dni#f/o blog#tf2 spy#tf2 scout#tf2 demoman#spy tf2#tf2 sniper#tf2 heavy#tf2 soldier#tf2 pyro#tf2 engineer#[just me yapping]#ok to rb

I know it's no longer New Zealand Comedy Month, but YouTube recommended an FotC video to me I'd never seen before, and I wanted to share it with you all.
youtube
So this was for Red Nose Day over a decade ago, and Bret and Jemaine (and Murray) make appearances in this excellent video about helping sick kids in New Zealand.
My favorite part, though, is this little girl bringing up The Muppets movie (which Bret wrote the songs for), and the boys having a hysterical exchange of words over Bret's work that won him an Academy award:
Girl: We can get money from selling oil, gold, and the crystals.
Bret: That's a very good idea.
Girl: I saw that in a movie I watched.
Jemaine: What movie was that?
Girl: The Muppets.
Jemaine: What did you think of that movie?
Bret: Some really good songs in it. [giggles]
Girl: Yeah!
Jemaine: Did you...did you like the songs? Or not really...kinda
Girl: Yeah. Miss Piggy just wears wigs all the TIME.
Bret: Yeah, but what about the songs?
Girl: Yeah, they were SO good.
Bret: Ah, yeah, ah.
Jemaine: Think so? I thought they were very derivative and like other...
Girl: Yeah?!
Jemaine: Yeah.
If you don't know why Jemaine thinks "Man or Muppet" is derivative, check out my post about their music and influences (including their impact on a young musical comedian named Bo Burnham!).
Enjoy , and keep it here for more international comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

Have you played DEMON HUNTERS : A Comedy of Terrors RPG
Cam Banks & Amanda Valentine
You are agents of the Brotherhood of the Celestial Torch, an organisation dedicated protecting the Earth from supernatural and demonic threats using their own extraordinary abilities. Starting as a low-level cell dealing with being bottom of the barrel, the game blends comedy and action-horror as an adaptation of cult films by the Dead Gentlemen (although no familiarity with the source material is necessary).
The game provides deep support mechanically for mission generation and uses an intriguing variation on the Fate system that uses polyhedral dice.

been watching taskmaster nz and i feel like theres a real difference in vibes between alex and paul. i mean that in a good way but like. alex is mischievous and bitchy, paul just looks so incredibly sad. looking at him feels like looking at a kicked puppy. every task feels like its the last wish of a tuberculosis-riddled victorian child. im not attracted to men in that way and yet there is something about him that makes me want to kiss him just because it might make him feel better
#i need to make this man SMILE. part of the fun is torturing the assistant but i just couldnt. look at his face#ok to reblog#beep beep gets personal#personal#textpost#text post#taskmaster#taskmaster nz#taskmaster new zealand#new zealand#paul williams#vibes#alex horne#sad#beep beep likes comedy
