“Neil, Patrick, and Harris."
My favorite is the show's own version of Meet Joe Black's famous car gif though.
God, this season has been fantastic so far.
'It's just me, Guillermo. I heard a horrible feminine shrieking. Were you having a nightmare?'
Nandor to Guillermo: "Oh no, you killed a vampire. Very frowned upon amongst the vampire community."
Only Collin's plot was funny, if unoriginal.
Didn't find this episode funny at all, the running cursed hat joke is kind of lame. Not the level of comedy I would expect from a show that has its rabid fans fawn all over it.
This episode felt ominously tense like there were actual stakes. Haha, get it? I guess that was because we're close to the end of the season. Things could start escalating real quick. Anyway, the main plot was pretty nice, especially the further advancement of Guillermo's incognito Van Helsing heritage and vampire hunter destiny. Now, that, that was tense. Colin's subplot wasn't that compelling but it paid off in the end through the form of developing into and ending on a high note. In itself, that was well done. All in all, it was a bit of an odd episode. Regardless of that, it managed to be entertaining, as always.

[5.4/10] When I saw the title “The Return”, I was really hoping this was going to be The Baron coming back in some way, shape, or form. Imagine, to my horror, realizing that instead, this was going to be an even greater dose of Nick Kroll’s completely unfunny shtick. Sigh. Can’t win ‘em all I suppose.
The material with Simon the Devious was the pits, just like his last appearance on the show. The cursed hat gag was funny in the prior episode, but has run its course. Kroll’s “gang”, including Count Rapula, was never funny to begin with, but we’re forced to spend even more time with it. And Kroll’s vampire accent isn’t amusingly bad; it’s just bad.
Unfortunately, Kroll’s unfunniness seems to be contagious. The B-plot about Colin Robinson gaining energy from trolling online is a solid idea, and there’s a solid enough punchline to him discovering that his internet arch enemy is an actual troll. But this part of the episode never really picks up steam or generates much laugh outside of the initial bit and the reveal.
The one part of this episode I did like is the continued emergence of Guillermo as a vampire slayer. Nandor finding out and realizing, in his mostly oblivious way, that something is up after Guillermo kills Carol is a good bit. The fact that Nandor doesn’t want the other vampires to know because it reflects poorly on him is an amusing tack, and their portentous stares at one another and Nandor’s ham-handed attempts to throw suspicion off of Guillermo were laugh-worthy.
Overall, this one’s a stinker outside of Nandor and Guillermo’s routine.
