Online trolling
Unlike the rest of the vampire roommates, Colin Robinson is well aware of how the internet works and takes great joy in trolling people on social media, which he’s found to be an efficient modern way to drain people’s energy—by mansplaining, offering terrible hot takes (“Women are getting too tall”), giving unsolicited advice, being casually offensive, etc. When a fellow hater steps to him, their feud escalates—until they end up meeting in person and we see the anti-Colin troll is an actual troll. It’s an obvious joke, but one that What We Do in the Shadows plays expertly, thanks to its trademark combination of spot-on writing and performances, macabre humor, well-deployed special effects, and comic timing.
