Someone like Colin getting promoted is the most realistic thing on this whole series. Highly accurate, corporate culture does indeed reward both mediocrity and incompetence.
The best decision this show made was to make Colin Robinson an actual vampire when I first started watching it I thought "oh its funny cause this guy thinks he's a vampire and the others are just too dumb to see he's a human" nope I was wrong an I'm so glad I was
The movie and the show both draw heavy inspiration from folklore which everyone would probably realize at first glance. But they also draw inspiration from more modern sources such as World of Darkness and Dresden Files that takes said folklore, spins it into a more codified library and renews it. In Dresden Files a more obscure form of vampire is made popular again in the energy vampire, codified under the label "White Court Vampire". EDIT: That said I to think it was a damn good move to lean that way with Colin and have it be something the viewer discovers throughtout the "documentary" :)
I LOVE the guy at 1:37!!!!! Such sweet understated comedy. His escaping into his cubicle when he finally notices Collin Robinson coming reminds me of the scene in the Lord of The Rings when the black riders enter the tavern and the bar keep is hiding under the bar from them obviously hoping they will pass and he will be spared. Lol! Well done here!
The energy vampires actually predated the blood drinking kind by many centuries. The first vampire myths were spirit who fed on people's vitality like Colen. The drinking of blood and taking human form came hundreds and in some cases thousands of years later.
I'm imagining primal Colin Robinson now. Robin, we must hunt. Ah yes, and from seeing how the temperature is, the birds will be flying east, unless you consider the seasonal changes and migration of the Caribou...

its cool how the comments of every clip of colin is cross-pollinated by lunatics insisting actually vampires are real, thanks youtube for making everyone as insane as possible as we lurch towards the end
He even looks like a less ugly version of my uncle, who I have literally considered injuring myself substantially in the hopes I could somehow escape the incredibly; boring, monotone and unending information about his "new" [5yo] airstreem tailers components and finances like hesreading it directly off the MSDS
You know, I haven't watch the series yet (Except the film). I thought Colin would be just a normal guy who thought energy vampire is a real thing while the real vampire is just playing along because they pity him. (Oh boy) Then he do this 1:27 & this 1:30 also lasty... 1:53 his head! (I thought the eyes were just random effects or my monitor screen is acting weird again)
Love Love Love his character in The Office. If Schrutes Farm would have happened, he would have been a big part.... Too bad, would have been a really good show..

I like how he punches the paper towel dispenser and does nothing to it and then a split second later proceeds to crush a garbage can like a coke can.
To be fair I don't even crush coke cans that easily.
They switched up the Breaking Bad and Saul fighting dummies. I'm actually impressed.

It was really well done.
It looked good on him too. I wish they had kept him powerful for more than one episode.

Im not 100% sure but I seem to remember reading somewhere, it being a bald cap he pulled off, so it wasnt actually CGI

I would watch a spinoff with just Colin. He's by far the most scary vampire of all because he's so super realistic.
Colin Robinson proving he is easily the most terrifying nerd vampire on the planet. Next to Tilda Swinton. And Machete. And Keanu Reeves.
Nic cage and Eddie Murphy should be on that list
Is that a Only Lovers Left Alive reference? Great movie!!
@@AndrewOxenburgh she was in the show as herself.
Keanu?
You have some weird sht
"Cool as a coocumber"
Sometimes I think Colin is feeding on US.
I forgot about this gem of a series for a minute lol. FX really needs to start pushing this show more instead of just showing us marathons of Archer.
noooo
I've never seen a single episode of archer and I've never missed an episode of what we do in the shadows.
Leave Archer alone... besides I don't think there's going to be a lot more in the future, without Malory the show is not going to last.

The craziest part is that Colin is powerful enough to indispose other real vampires that kill people. And all he has to do is be mildly obnoxious

Comparing Colin Robinson to the Nazgul is probably the most effective way to describe how terrifying he truly is.
Might that bar keep have been Jackie Daytona? 🤠
the ascension of a god
The way he says cucumber is amazing because its the sort of thing that would drive me nuts and give him power
0:05 "i think what's happened if they finally figured out that i don't even know what the hell this company does"
Yeah I relate to this comment a bit too much 😂
wow. this is literally what office work feels like.
If Colin Robinson was a human resources director or a motivational speaker, he'd be unstoppable.
They should do him as a DEI specialist running workshops, lol, it would probably get banned by the censors.
The energy vampires actually predated the blood drinking kind by many centuries. The first vampire myths were spirit who fed on people's vitality like Colen. The drinking of blood and taking human form came hundreds and in some cases thousands of years later.

1:22 Actually the scariest moment of the series for me. Colin is so silly and harmless I forget he has super strength.
His head getting big at the end, like all the power at work is going to his head lmao
This show is just on another entire level of funny and they do it all so good.
Oh my god... he... he even felled the cameraman.
HE MUST BE STOPPED!!!
This role was the ultimate *chefs kiss* of casting for this performer.
I can drain people with only a sentence “yea I’m gonna need you to come in on Saturday”
The thing I hate most about this is it's a perfect representation of the current job market
The face he makes when he drains someone is gold
The "Whoo" gets me every time!
Colin Robinson has to be one of the most brilliantly constructed characters of the contemporary age.
The character is hilarious cuz there are people w the exact same behaviour
Difference being is that it does nothing physically beneficial for them like with Collin
@@bushidotestu1997 Yeah? It didn't do anything for you?

"I can drain them with a single phrase."
The phrase: "I need you to work this weekend."
