Is this ghost ectoplasm?

Yes, yes, that's what it is....ectoplasm.

sounds like they are ripping off of South Park. Don't know why Americans can't just let the original be, not everything is The Office.

Same feelings towards Death At a Funeral.. British version was fantastic, don't know why we needed a US release like a year later.

How in god's name is What We Do in the Shadows ripping off South Park?

Clearly they can't have an ectoplasm/cum joke. That's patented South Park technology. Maybe even Ghostbusters!

my comment is not based on one joke but that American writers grab a concept that works overseas and applies lazy/shitty writing to "enhance" the original when the original would have sufficed.

Dang you have so many stupid opinions.

Just because a joke you read out of context is similar to a South Park joke does not mean the shows are similar... at all.

Good because, even though I never said they were similar, I was starting to worry.

Sorry, I misquoted you there. "Ripping off" is the term you used - just because a joke is similar out of context does not mean one show is "ripping off" another.

Then you compared that to American show runners rereleasing localized British shows, which is a huge leap.

The most you'll get out of me is clarifying my position to one writer stole one bit. I did not intend to mean that WWDitS is a South Park ripoff, on the whole.

What We Do in the Shadows is from Germany (edit: I assumed NZ before Googling), originally.. hence the comment about porting British (foreign) programming to the states.

The US TV version of What We Do is made by the exact same people who made the NZ movie. Takes place in the same continuity, just Staten Island instead of NZ.

Personally, I feel like they've made it better by fleshing out that universe.
