[@leewilliams1987]

PC Mojo, since all black characters now have to be played by black actors, should Cree Summer have to step down for white actors?

[@selalewis9189]

My favorite is Wesley Snipes on The Vampiric Council having trouble calling in on Zoom 😅

[@timberwolf27]

Tiniest little detail- but also notice its broad daylight where he is and totally cool with it, would of hit home better if he was Zooming in from the beach or something lol

[@jinnimoo]

It was via Skype....Wesley Skypes....

[@AFoxInFlames]

So fucking hilarious.

[@alexludavertigo6926]

So many great cameos in that episode🍻

[@kendrahubbard1927]

Damn skype

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

I wish they would bring Mark Hamill’s character back. His beef was Lazlo is absolutely hilarious.

[@christiner6000]

Doug Jones is awesome as the Baron. I'm always thrilled when he shows up in another episode.

[@MADGUNSMONSTER]

Agreed

[@luckyowl6432]

"Greetings and salutations!"

[@1ManNamedDan]

Luv Jones. It's a vibe.

[@stingrey1571]

Lazlo went into hiding and changed identities just to avoid paying his hotel bill. A bill from the 1700s. So it was like 12 cents.

[@Tyfreaky13]

There was interest added.... so at this point it was probably around 10-20 bucks

[@johnhoy9512]

@@Tyfreaky13 OMG! How would he ever repay that?

[@moxinghbian]

it's called the power of exponential

[@welcome_back_to_1972]

Vanessa Bayer all day every day! So underrated. Her battle with Colin hit so hard 😂

[@1ManNamedDan]

umf! used to simp for her on SNL

[@ilionreactor1079]

One of the funniest shows on right now.

[@caronstout354]

Honorable mention: the entire Vampiric Council + Dave Bautista

[@forallthestupidshit3550]

Dave Bautista?? How did i miss that? What episode was he in?

[@stingrey1571]

They energy council was hilarious

[@michaelmonthey5974]

Put Mark Hamill in anything and I am hyped.

[@Ravynwulf]

You forgot Sofia Coppola and Jim Jarmusch. They appeared together as themselves, guests in Nadja’s club in S4. You actually showed a clip of this episode, where Nadja is explaining that “The special is to die for.” Sofia was killed and Nadja kept Sofias head, that was ripped from her body by Vampires in the club, in her office. And as another commenter added..Also Patton Oswalt.

[@JSPokemonYT]

What We Do in the Shadows is the funniest show on TV right now!

[@batgurrl]

The funniest show on basic cable since it started. Personally amused by Mark Hamill, Aida Turturro, Wesley Snipes and all the other actors who played vampires in movies and TV🦇🦇😎😎

[@davidz3879]

Matt Berry is even better in Toast of London.

[@batgurrl]

@@davidz3879 never heard of it. Sounds like a British thing, not even on the BBCA channel (BBC America)

[@cpuuk]

Wesley, Mark and Tilda... I laughed so hard.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

BEST COMEDY SERIES EVER😎😎😎🔥🔥👍👍👍

[@thomasdearment3214]

Jacky Dantona who would have thunk putting a toothpick in your mouth would change your appearance. Yes, I agree Mark Hamills appearance was a highlight in the series. Already a great one

[@millawitt1882]

This is THE BEST tv show right now and I hope that it’ll go on FOREVER👍😀😀😀

[@SierenH]

I wanted Danny Trejo to be a regular...I love him

[@uriflowers7026]

New York ciiitttayyy 😂

[@chloesmithwalker7565]

Tilda Swinton, Cree Summer and Benedict Wong

[@gabrielatejo3980]

Omg! Topher is the best, I laughed the whole episode, he was hilarious 😂

[@keithscott1926]

God you gotta rewatch these shows to catch all these guys I remember Westly Snipe’s and I loved it. It’ll be cool to see Angel the actor played Angel show up or Buffy the vampire. Even the last season of the show.

[@vampirelove75]

They musta made this video before the finale cause no Patton Oswald

[@jasonvaquero9739]

Was waiting for his appearance to show up!

[@Beigemage0621]

"I prefer live action"

[@henrybelman7424]

yeah, and they said that HJO only appeared in one episode rather than two

[@Nikodymus]

There were so many amazing cameos!!! It just makes the show that much funnier. Can’t wait for season 6! Even though sadly it’ll be the last season.

[@laurameadows3693]

They forgot to mention Sal from Impractical Jokers :(

[@MADGUNSMONSTER]

Tilda Swinton, Pee Wee Herman, Wesley Snipes, and the Vampiric Council. Baron Afanas as well. All the cameos are amazing though.

[@reenapurdy3923]

We all want a bite of the shadows!🧛‍♂️🦇

[@PunkFlamingos]

Gregg Turkington as an Energy Vampire. For anyone who knows "On Cinema", that was excellent casting.

[@SSgtChitEPanz]

Hi, Guys! I give your comment 5 bags of popcorn 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 and 4 vampire bats 🦇🦇🦇🦇

[@OfLegionReal]

I really loved Sofia Coppola and lead singer Thomas Mars from Phoenix her husband. I was shocked to see Thomas on the show

[@106andie]

I had no idea Lauren Collins was Meg! That’s one of my favorite episodes 🙌🏼

[@diamonddylanpage7150]

I don't disagree but I cracked up at the Count Bakula cameo, I know it was small but also legendary.

[@ShadowGirl1126]

Love love love this show!!!!!!

[@andrewthomson870]

Even before I saw her I knew Tilda Swinton had to be head of the Vampiric Council.

[@violetblue62]

Hands down the Baron gets my vote!! So incredibly funny!!

[@eeccee11]

This show is pure gold ❤ like monty python meets evil dead meets young frankenstein 😂

[@justineves3588]

Very very great epic list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever 😊❤

[@3StarLogo]

With #10 im already loving this list 😂😂😂

[@EmiliaESwan]

My fav was Sal

[@suzannewilson9918]

The guest stars were lovely surprises!

[@wektor3592]

#1- Jackie Daytona

[@chermebrownsauce8049]

They should put Gary Oldman, Chris Sarandon, Brad Pitt and Kiefer Sutherland in that council. Would be amazing!

[@edschobs5204]

Didn’t they mention them in that episode? At least keifer

[@bloodknight7420]

Omg the Wicked Witch and…….#1 this series looks great I wanted to check it out now i wanna watch it now

[@henrybelman7424]

you should!

[@bloodknight7420]

@@henrybelman7424 thank you with this and Starfield I’m gonna have a wicked weekend….I wonder if their ask Ian McDiarmid to Guest Star that be funny like him VS Mark only like if he was Vampire Mark Hamill Therapists 🤣🤣🤣

[@BaySt8Horror_n_Metal617]

Paul "Lefty" Reubens of the vampiric council R.I.P. Pee Wee Herman

[@j.d.4697]

Lazlo's disguise was uncanny. That's how you tell a great actor from a bad one.

[@Coog61]

The only credit for Paul Ruebens is Buffey?

[@Namasteavlreal]

No she is crediting the vampire roles they were in.

[@Aussiedoll1]

My dumbass just realising who the actress playing Meg was omg 😭😭🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@hannahlowe794]

Anyone who was born or lived in New Yaaak Citaaay?

[@isaiahsuero3668]

4:47 all I heard was sora

[@ivanflank6089]

Cravensworth!!!!

[@Velimirius]

got a soft spot for Bakula :)

[@Merylstreep1949]

Missed opportunity of having Sterling Archer aka H.Jon Benjamin on the show 😢😢😢😢😢

[@Deviusroach]

Danny Trejo was awesome!

[@stacynaus2761]

The voice actress, sorry forgot her name, I remember her most from a Different World. Surprised you did not mention her live roles and just her animations?

[@henrybelman7424]

Cree Summer? I think that she is much better known for her animated roles as she is considered by many to be one of the premier VO talents.

[@shayDblue3000]

No love for Sofia Coppola?

[@alicia4728]

Dammit i can't watch this untill im done with all seasons.

[@chezavurbe]

And Sofia Coppola too

[@Xayne...]

Please do 10 songs you didn't know we're written By Clerence Coffee Jr. Please

[@noraoros9974]

Vanessa Bayer! Hands down.

[@madison51307]

It was disgraceful not to mention the celebrity special crew. But it was CRIMINAL to leave out Patton Oswalt.

[@kevinmoore8780]

Thought you were really pulling at threads for the first 3-4. People that almost no one would ever heard of. Hard to see how Fred Armisen would just get an honourable mention when he is clearly better known and has more TV/movie roles than some of the earlier ones. Also the Vampiric Council with its depth should have been #1 or at worse #2.

[@jonathanmartin3767]

Glen Danzig.

[@stephaniecabrera9396]

Be Careful With Vampire

[@kathleenmancle8450]

You left out Jenna, the LARPer.

[@Phanthief95]

Beanie Feldstein! It surprised me learning that she’s Jonah Hill’s sister.

[@tiffanyalice4478]

Gosh, she doesn't even look like Paige anymore! I guess everybody grows up and changes.

[@stevenharris7614]

Penny was black..mind blown

[@kevinshort3943]

That was 90% who!?, and 10% yer I know.

[@judycolarelli8568]

Mark hamill

[@DrJenX]

Beanie Feldstein!!!!

[@erinmalone2669]

Evie Russel is so great. Even though Colin Robinson is funny and we all know an annoying person like him, Evie is genius and it’s so true that some girls really do make perpetual victimhood their personality. They ARE exhausting.😅

[@ltgaming8510]

e

[@DrClef-im7of]

L list, Wesley Snipes has the best cameo

[@DanNguyen-ey5tw]

Everytime i see nick kroll...i yell forever unclean.

[@stinkyla5863]

Patton Oswalt RIP

[@Mcs74331]

Thank vampire.

[@gabrielatejo3980]

😂

[@pvtmalo3217]

Too much commentary

[@matthewmartin3472]

She speaks the bullshit

[@dylvasey]

This is so American.

[@Cameron_dxe]

First pls pin I love ur videos

[@jankarieben1071]

Jeziz, why are “mojo” narrators so bad? Just terrible, it’s so bad idk if I can stand watching these videos! It’s not the tone, it’s the obvious script reading, the speaker clearly doesn’t really care about what they’re saying

[@lalum6129]

Dave Bautista there’s more backstory there he was being held up by the vin pair of counsel for something Laszlo dead for making a little kid or a baby vampire or something like that. I know it’s a lot of content, but you guys should try to watch some of the things you make a list sign.

[@gabrielatejo3980]

It was a baby.
