- From the movie "What We Do in the Shadows" (2014) by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi

"In the middle of winter or in August" - it just hit me that they have inverse seasons in the southern hemisphere, so August is the third month of winter. Wow. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
He is the cutest vampire I’ve ever seen
Baby Yoda watch out
uwu vampire 😂
Vlad? 😜
I thought so too, I absolutely melt watching Viago, but Nandor from the TV series is so cute. In any case, both are funny (little mists)
He is adorable
I think Taika doesnt read a script, he just gets up in the morning and acts randomly.
The entire movie is improvised
That’s exactly what thay do. Taika would go cause chaos just for fun to flex his creativity. In NZ These guys had a culture of improv, Wellington had improv battle live shows. The battle to see who could be the most outrageously creative. All kiwi actors join these groups to hone their skills and out comes awesome writing and great shows and movies and great (if underpaid) careers. Many people this talented who’ve been creative together for years are devising this stuff together. Here in NZ we have insane mini shows like this on our tv all the time. Wellington paranormal is just like this barely making any money but definitely one-par with this. Even the mini version set in a school called “Educators” is insane and has half these guys In it. “The breakerupperers” has this kiwi tone and I so funny. It’s a pity that they can be some of the most innovative talent but live hand to mouth trying to get funding for this amazing art form they kinda created.
@@camogrrl oh my god that's amazing, now it's makes sense why taika and everyone in the movie is amazingly talented
I love the way he makes his vampire character sort of childlike and innocence. Just a happy vampire.
He based his character off his mother 😭😭 she must be the sweetest
@@chasefrankenstein7239 Great trivia
His pronounciation is among the best I've heard a non-german speak in movies. Even his fake accent is accurate.
Somehow I.... find his pronunciation (and tone and manner) similar to the doctor Strangelove's one...??? and I wonder if..... it could be a source....of...inspiration.....?
However I don't speak German so probably that is because they mimic the same accent.
What is Taika's first language?
@@Jose-se9pu English.
He did live in Berlin for 2 years back in the late 90's, so that probably helped him.
And now he's Hitler.
So y'know.
"Hey little mist, you're cool!"
"Aw drat, that was a vampire mist!"
I adore him. I love him.
"My father owned most of the horses in the country, he had 7" 🤣
If any vampire is every going to kill me please let it be viago
He would hit the main artery.
Joe Benz I was about to write that 😂😂😂 he doesn’t like mess but he messes up a lot when he kills the victim. The newspaper got me 🤣
@@crissysexycoolgalaxy he tries is best tho, he is really polite about killing you too, so we gotta forgive him if he makes a mess
Have you seen the Dating with Viago video? I kid you not, he says that being bitten by a vampire is "orgasmic" 😳
The way he says "and the other two...were miscellaneous" :} was just precious.🖤
It was confirmed (on Taika's ig live stream) that Viago found his silk scarf! 😳 Good for him.
I asked that question that day!
Glad to hear that
Coming here after watching OFMD, mentions of lost silk associated to Taika makes me want to cry my heart out
@@Lucitronade YES 😭 also I love the fact that Rhys played Anton in WWDITS. With a quote "werewolves, not swearwolves" you could say that Anton's a gentleman werewolf. 🤨
Also it's funny that Taika, seemingly, decided to check all queercoded (if not straight up queer) boxes. He wakes up every morning and decides to get the gays another instant classic. Vampires? Check. Pirates? Check. What's next, boarding schools? I would not be surprised.
So cute. I loved his impression of a hat falling.
Probably it's head. Would fit better and older Germans and nonspeakers pronounce it that way.
@@hannah_____thetabloidjunki6691 I think it's hat. Why would his mom mimic a head falling down? Plus a hat is more likely to make a noise falling down.
@@Katya_Lastochka the beheadings, you know. 🥴 Only 1795s kids will remember. I changed the subtitles because a head falling off to the ground sounds funnier in the context.
I could watch an entire movie of just him
I could as well. Listening to him explain anything is entertaining 😁
'It was a giant beast, with a big scarf on.'
His "Exotic Egyptian Features".
Its not like youd see such a dark skinned german back in the day, especially if he was rich, he wouldve been expected to be fat and pale as the walls to proove hes rich because the rich people back then didnt have to work and staying inside and eating up is all they did so fatness and paleness were a sign of wealth
Are we just going to ignore how adorable Viago's description of mist was 😂
viago is the most adorable vampire to ever exist
I'm pretty sure there was no script for that. He's just making it up as he goes and I love it!
When you don't have an SFX budget to do a cool vampire-mist scene like in Coppola's movie just have a character describe the scene.
Bruh this is basically what every grandparent talks about every time they talk to their grandchildren
My heart melts at the prospect of Viago as a widdle hedgehog
One of the best parts of a Taika movie is whenever Taika is on screen
"In winter, or in the middle of August" southern hemisphere represent!!
I love your profile pic.... Keith Haring is the best.
@@lapsusmemoriae3831 Thanks!! I think so too!
haha the entire mist part is my favorite
This man is a complete nut and I love him so much for it.
Aw drat! That was a vampire mist
according to his age, which they say is 379 at the start of the movie, he would be born in 1635. so apparently he forgot when he was born lol
for some reason, when i looked him up, there was a picture of him that said he was like 200 something years old. maybe this isnt part of the movie?/its a cut scene?
@@mamaumbridge2272 i think that might be from the 2005's short, if i remember well viago was younger in the short but they changed it in the movie
Dude does the :3 face when he smiles I can't handle this
Pointing at his fangs has to be the cutest thing ever!!!
Taiko is one of, if not THE funniest directors in current times in my opinion.
He is so funny.
I watched the original short film ages ago, but this full film is such a modern gem.
I love it.
Vlad the poker's evil laugh when he's on the line with the phone company is great. He laughs like he just did some MASSIVE evil plan, when all he did was use his gifts to make them not owe on the bill.
Or his excitement when he learns he can poke people on facebook. Lmao
Taiko based his mannerisms on his own mother. It's great seeing him be the mom of the group.
I can list a million more reasons as to why i love this film..
It deserves more attention.
Jojo Rabbit is REALLY good too. Such a great film.. very emotional in some spots.
My nickname given to me growing up by my mother and sisters was actually JoJo or bunny (when i was little), as my name is Joey but my sisters preferred saying jojo.
I digress.
Great films. Great director.
He's filming the next starwars.
While last jedi made me abandon the sequel trilogy altogether for the shitty way luke was handled...i KNOW he will do good on his film.
MMmh my favorite director. Taiko.
@@namelickker375 Taiko Waitini!!!!!!
Honestly I’d let him kill me, he is too nice, I couldn’t say no.
Wouldn't we all
Oh he's so adorkably wholesome. I just can't 😍
What the FFFF.. unny little mist!
1:05 “pfft - pu”
The cutesssst
Lol
If Dracula and Mr. Bean had a child
“The other two were… miscellaneous”
viago my beloved
Honestly ,,,,, my one (1) and only dissappoitment with "Jojo rabbit" was that there were no jokes about nazi vampires.
Lmao, exactly. There was one in Thor Ragnarok tho.
Senthil Velan about nazi vampires in Thor Ragnorak?
@@lordoffishtown4455 I'm not sure of the exact dialogue but it was making a reference to three vampires stuck together. It was the "My god! Hammer pulled you off" scene.
Man, his characters sure know their stuff about mist and fog
But not the date of the full moon
i wonder if he’s aware of how adorable he is
'Mist' in German is a curse word🤣
Taikas german pronunciation at the beginning is SO good that I thought they‘d somehow found a soundalike for the synchronization for a split second.
Also the little pun with the mist/‚Mist‘ is so cute.
I love that he describes the victim getting killed by the mist vampire in so much detail, it's probably how he got bit.
Where did you find this gem! So glad to learn about his full origin story.
Protect Viago at all costs!!
Found it on tumblr and noticed it wasn't uploaded to youtube. So technically I didn't find this gem, the tumblr user did!
he is the cutest i'm going to explode
I love Taika's character's monologues XD
Well he might just be our Rowan Atkinson this generation.
oooh, I love this nerdy, sweet and oddly naive vampire.
This guy is going to make the new star wars film. Never give up on the creative mind. Also if your a fan of Taika he actually gave a TED talk on creativity in like 2010 before he was a household name. Love youtube fam.
"a lot of people says, Ew, you're just turning into a cloud"
"what a funny little misssst"
"Oh, crap, it was a vampire mist"
Folks, this movie gets better any time I see it.
"Vampires turning into creatures of the night, like bats... and possums" now I'm imagining an owl vampire, that would be dope.
this is so cute im crying
tbh he could narrate anything and it'd still sound nice and wholesome c:
My favourite character from this film/
Same 🖤
All in favour of the Viago protection squad, say "Aye!"
Love Taika Waititi, the last couple of days have been my sharing love of "What we do in the Shadows" the movie, not the series.
He seems so friendly.
I want a guy like him 😭
LMAO "Ahh drats."
Im not stopping watching.
Viago is too precious. I love him so much. I snorted when he did the impression of paper ripping. But his voice at the beginning when he spoke german and it was in this breathy whisper...oh, that did something to me. I think I need to go change my panties. 🥵
1:57 The way he says fluffy
The hat falling killed me
Drats! He's so cute!
hes like mr bean if he turned into a vampire.
Taika is damn hot
Viago is just too cute lol
I can tell Viago needs to get out of his flat more. He seems very cooped up.
He’s lovely 😊. They are lovely 😊.
Guerimo reminds me of Viago seems like they both do most of the mundane home chores. I remember someone turning into mist and accidentally going through the air purifier.
Taika is the best.
Viago is the funniest little mist ever 🤣
I wish this guy was my roommate in college!!!
He is one of those nice helpful types
This is a very moist interview.
This should be added to "asmr in movies" compilation :)
He is so cute and handsome omg
SO CUTE
Babygirl shaped.
How is he an 18th century dandy ? He is 379 years old. That's 1635 considering the movie came out in 2014.
Ohoho, I'll tell you more! (I'm not an expert, just my thoughts on periodisation (and sorry for mistakes, if there would be any, I'm not a native speaker))
1. Dandy is a term for the XIX century subculture, so there's no way you can be a XVIII century dandy. Moreover, being a dandy means not only dressing nicely, but also being cold and pretentious to some degree (dandy appeared in GB during Romantic era, and some of the defining characteristics of English romantic protagonist are feeling of isolation, suffering because of it and still not wanting to be accepted, as they feel superior to ""liars surrounding them"". So basicaly dandies strived for stating they're atypical, but not so atypical they should be excluded. (English romantic type is still present in modern media, e.g. BBC Sherlock and Sweeney Todd)).
2. Viago is not cold and pretentious, so even if he had been born in the XIX century, he couldn't be a dandy! And he actually takes a lot from German romantic protagonist, who also suffers and feels excluded, but his main conflict is one-sided love. (E.g. Müller's "Winnterreise" and "Die Schöne Müllerin", Goethe's "Faust") So for English tradition love conflict is "we can't be together, because she's just like them and also I have commitment issues" (e.g. Lermontov's "Hero of our time"), and for German tradition love conflict is "we can't be together, because she just doesn't love me :(". Besides German romantics LOVED fairytales, so even "oohohohh LOOOK ZE GHOST CUP" thing kinda suits them more.
3. "My mother was an exotic performer" - would make more sense if Viago had been born in the second half of the XIX century, because that's when orientalism was reeeeally fashionable (it all started after French campaign in Egypt). E.g. Delibes' "Lakme", Rimsky-Korsakov's "Sadko" and "Scheherazade", Kipling's "The jungle book", Lermontov's "Mtsyri". I'm sure exotic performers existed in the XVIII century, but they were rather seen as barbaric and appalling than unusual and attractive.
In conclusion, don't even try to seek logic.
He probably can't recall his exact age
@@lapsusmemoriae3831 Thank you for this explanation, it is was very much appreciated. He is shown to have the typical mannerisms media associates with dandies says he was born 1795 but is over 379 years old which doesn't add up with basic math so indeed like you said this whole thing doesn't make any sense.
@@lincolny2220 This is not about the character but the writers. The story establishes his age as being 379 in 2014 but he says he was born in 1795 but at no point is this pointed out,if it was made to be a mistaken on purpose somebody who have pointed it out. Also,all the characters dress as a rendition of the style in fashion when they were bit, except him.
I definitely feel a slight Blackadder vibe from this movie and the series.
he's so cute😭
I could not stop laughing oh my god I love viago so much
this is master acting
0:26 ...Ze infention ov long pangkts...
I’ve seen this movie twice and istg I have never seen this before what
Because it's a deleted scene that wasn't included into the movie.
august is notoriously the worst, but at least its the beginning of the end of winter. How about xmas in summer? :P xmas holidays, the beach, long evenings playing/drinking. aaahhhhh. I dont mind being at the bottom of the planet.
i love christmas on summer
oh drat that was a vampire mist🤣
Ladies and gentlemen I give you: Mr. Bean as a vampire!
Impersonate a hat "ffffffpuuu"🤣🤣🤣🤣
😊😊😊😊😊
This shows a fuckin hit!! Xoxo
😇😍
I need to believe that there are at least a handful of people who are seeing this completely without the context of WWDITS and are just so pleasantly confused right now
Viago reminds me of Mr.Bean!!
Is this from the dvd?
Probably?.. No idea, honestly. I found it on tumblr (and I am forever grateful to whoever posted this) and noticed that no one had uploaded it on YT yet.
The michael scott of vampires
Is this a deleted scene or not? Because i saw this movie, but this scene I didn't see🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Yep, it's a deleted scene
@@lapsusmemoriae3831 thanks 😁❤️
I am smitten.
I feel like if he really tried he would be amazing at stand up.
When antisocial humans tell you their life.
Mike Myers shout out!!!
If he only said "Mist!" in the end impersonating the victim he described.
