Season two high point “On the Run” followed Laszlo as he skipped town to avoid paying a long-overdue debt to another vampire (more on him next). After donning “my foolproof human disguise” (jeans and a toothpick), Laszlo adopts the persona of “Jackie Daytona, regular human bartender” at working-class watering hole Lucky Brew’s Bar and Grill. By the end, the episode somehow transforms itself into a send-up of heartwarming small-town sports movies—and exemplifies how What We Do in the Shadows is continually reinventing what “a vampire comedy” can be.
