Season 1, Episode 9
The Orgy
The main vampires have been chosen to host the Biannual Vampire Orgy.
Tropes That Appear In This Episode:
- Bait-and-Switch Comment: Nadja has this to say after Laszlo shows her all the pornography he's starred in over the decades:Nadja: There's nothing more devastating than finding out your husband has made porn...and it's so bloody boring!
- Brick Joke: Nadja mentions that throwing a bad orgy will cause you to be ostracized in the vampire community, and that vampires will typically stay in their bat forms while refusing to transform back out of shame. After the main characters' efforts to host the bi-annual vampire orgy go poorly, Nandor goes to check on Laszlo and Nadja...and walks in on them in the middle of having sex, both in their bat forms.
- Chinese Vampire: Nadja greets a classic Chinese hopping vampire as one of the guests at the orgy, and even refers to him as a Jiangshi, which is the Chinese term.
- Dissimile: Nandor has an odd way of explaining the appeal of vampire orgies.Nandor: Vampire sex is like pizza, in that even when it's bad it's good, it's designed to be enjoyed by eight or more people, there's a choice of toppings, and in the morning, you're like "Aaah, why do I have puncture wounds on my penis?!"
- Fan Disservice: Colin Robinson wears full leather gear for the vampire orgy.
- Fridge Logic: In-Universe: Nadja pokes holes in the plot of Vampire Tricked in Steam Room.Nadja: I mean, how could we see what you were doing but you couldn't?
- Holy Burns Evil: Nandor reacts aversely to the Christmas section of a store—and to Guillermo saying the word "Christmas".
- Hypocritical Humor: Guillermo - the guy who is involved with vampire business because he want to be one and regularly feeds innocent virgin men and women to them - is uncomfortable with the idea of the annual orgy because he was raised Catholic.
- Literal Metaphor: Guillermo says that in school he and his close friend Jeremy were glued at the hip. Because of bullies, with glue.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Guillermo lures his own friend to the orgy to be the virgin feast, having tapped out the local LARP group and encountered him in the store with Nandor. Once his buddy arrives, Guillermo holes up in his room having a panic attack on camera over the guilt until he eventually storms into the orgy to rescue him—only to find his friend quite actively in the process of losing his virginity.
- Parallel Porn Titles: One of the pornographic films Laszlo starred in is called Seinf**k.
- Retraux: Laszlo has starred in thousands of pornographic movies ever since cinema was invented. The clips of the pornos that are shown are all filmed in the style of the decade they came out, like the ones from 1896 and 1927 being Deliberately Monochrome and having lo-fi sound and music (and the 1896 movie also having rather primitive special effects).
- The Scottish Trope: Averted. When Nadja and Laszlo are talking about a particularly embarrassing vampire orgy, Nadja seems like she's invoking this trope only for Laszlo to turn it on its head immediately.Nadja: I cannot even speak the name of the vampire who organized that monstrosity...
Laszlo: I don't give a fuck, his name was Mike.
Nadja: Fucking Mike! - Stylistic Suck: Laszlo claims that all the pornographic films he's starred in over the years still hold up and are "very, very erotic". The examples we see are full of bad acting and corny dialogue, and Nadja even admits that she found all of it boring.
- Vampires Are Sex Gods: Played With. The Vampire Orgy is a biannual event that apparently all vampires partake (and in the gang's case, host), their descriptions describing it nothing short of a Hellfire Club-esq carnival of sexual debauchery. To throw a bad orgy will leave you Un Personed by everyone else.
- Villains Out Shopping: Nandor goes out shopping with Guillermo.
- What the Hell, Hero?:
- Guillermo gives shades of this when he storms off to his room after the main trio give him too many orders.
- This is the general consensus at the orgy when Laszlo announces his idea of having everybody watch him and Nadja have a "two-person orgy".
