Real Life Energy Vampire Cafe

Bun-fu

Get ready for an uncomfortable realization: Boston's first album is now fifty years old.

Fisherman comes home with an unexpected catch: a mangy orphaned kitten.

This poor cow is infested with goats.

A driverless truck is rolling down the street. This guy handles business like a boss.

There might be a new "trend" of asking people to follow you while you do goony dance moves.

Bad cat.

Bad dog.

Bad driver.

Bad baby. Or maybe he was doing the girl a favor.

This kind of thing happens to me.

Monty Python demonstrates the English sense of humor for a Dutch audience. I've seen them do this bit at their live shows but I never saw the original staging, which I guess was for Dutch TV.

Anyone a fan of Nancy Sinatra's "You Only Live Twice" Bond theme? Apparently they made a video for it.

Eighty pet guinea pigs and also a bunch of chickens.

Wolf fishes. There's an annoying guy calling out to the wolf that kinda spoils this one.

Parrot spent ten years in a shelter before he was adopted by his true owner.

When an elk comes for a visit.

You probably know Mark Proksch. He played the awkward, annoying Nate on The Office, and the awkward, annoying energy vampire Colin Robinson on What We Do in the Shadows.

What you might not know is that Mark Proksch is an energy vampire in real life and the character of Colin Robinson is a just a slightly rewritten version of himself.

He became famous when -- just because he was bored -- he began calling local news channels telling them that he was a Yo-Yo Master named Kenny "K-Strass" Strasser, and that he uses his champion yo-yo skills to educate school children about global warming.

In fact, he can barely yo-yo at all. He strains to do a simple up-and-down move.

And in a medium where speed is everything and a segment has to be wrapped up in two minutes, he wastes as much time as possible, talking endlessly about trivial details no one cares about while making excuses about why he doesn't want to do the one thing he was brought on TV to do, play with the yo-yo.

The energy vampire really fed well during these appearances. The hosts try to keep things moving but this vampire keeps things slow and awkward.

More about the history of this energy vampire here.
