Dave is a vampire. Instead of being incredibly beautiful and rich like the vampires of fiction, though, he's just a fairly normal guy who works the night shift at a convenience store named "The Last Stop," serving his Romanian immigrant master and trying to win the heart of Rosa, a woman who likes the idea of vampires but doesn't realize they exist. When Wes, another vampire, shows up and tries to steal Rosa away, Dave's life gets rough.

* IncrediblyLamePun: The title.
* JerkAss: Wes starts out as this and keeps on going until he hits CompleteMonster territory
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Radu is a fairly nice guy, for a greedy capitalistic vampire who has casually killed at least one human employee of his because he was hungry
* TheMasquerade: Most people don't know vampires exist, though no one makes a big deal about the normal people who do know, like Dave's roommate Carl.
* MonsterRoommate: Dave, to Carl.
* MuggleBestFriend: Carl, to Dave.
* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:Graphically depicted when Wes decides one of his girlfriends isn't obedient enough. It's later stated that all his girlfriends except Rosa eventually meet this fate.]]
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Vampires here can survive solely on blood plasma but are very weak that way; they gain powers when they're pretty strong, like hypnotism and teleportation. They also live the same way humans do, mostly; they make beer out of blood and they work normal jobs, they just have to do it at night because they burn up in daylight. They can apparently also starve to death, and the vampires they make have to obey them completely.
* VampiresAreRich: Brought up, then mocked as unrealistic.
* VampiresAreSexGods: Only if they [[CharmPerson cloud the minds of humans]]. The protagonist describes it as glorified date rape.
* VampireVannabe: Alistair and later, Rosa.
* VegetarianVampire: Dave only drinks plasma, not full blood; he's incredibly weak in comparison to the other vampires present.
* [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman What Measure is a Human]]: the viewpoint of most vampires. If you gotta eat, you gotta eat. Jerome claims to try to eat only bad people, but there's no proof this is actually the case
