It's a scientific fact: "What We Do in the Shadows" vampire Laszlo is the friend we need, in deed

"What We Do in the Shadows" loves showing the ludicrous extent to which vampires will go to fulfill their needs, but only Laszlo Cravensworth would lapse into a near non-verbal catatonia for three weeks to have a good think. This long-running subplot casting Laszlo as Guillermo's secret-keeper is similar to the farcical setup in Season 5 of "Friends." He's referring to Thomas Anthony Harris' 1967 self-help book "I'm OK – You're OK." This long-running subplot casting Laszlo as Guillermo's secret-keeper is similar to the farcical setup in Season 5 of "Friends," where the writers wrung mileage out of Joey helping Monica and Chandler hide their romance from Monica's brother Ross, along with Phoebe and Rachel. "What We Do in the Shadows" differs by making Laszlo's intellect his and Guillermo's shield. This altruistic streak continued when Laszlo returned to Staten Island and forged other unlikely relationships, developing real feelings for the baby Colin Robinson and, stranger still, the idiot next door Sean — this show's "Fun Bobby," who even the Baron concedes is "cool, he's a good time" after railing against his progeny going soft by consorting with humans.
