Vampire Missionaries (Short Comedy Sketch)

A funny video about Vampires (I mean *CENSORED*) trying to fit into the modern society ingrained with many hurtful stereotypes. Subscribe for more funny short comedy sketches & films: http://bit.ly/laurisb Vampire Missionaries is about two elder vampires (I mean elders from The Congregation of Creatures of Unusual Nocturnal Thirst) trying to tell people about how Dracula could enter their lives and about the different benefits of eternal life. They even have pamphlets!

Who's there? Good evening! How are you doing tonight? Is it another delivery for the neighbours? Are you from Amazon? No, we're from Transylvania. And we'd like to talk to you about Dracula. From where? And did you say Dracula? Yes! Would you happen to have a moment? I'm elder Theo and this is sister Cathy. Have you ever considered eternal life? You're vampires! That pejorative is actually quite hurtful. It is twenty first century. We prefer to be called Creatures of Unusual Nocturnal Thirst. O

h, I'm sorry! So, unusual creatures -- Creatures of unusual nocturnal thirst. Nocturnal -- You can just refer to us as *CENSORED* for short. We brought you some pamphlets, they explain many of the misconceptions. Have a look. I didn't realise vampires have missionaries. Oh, I'm sorry, I meant -- *CENSORED*. How else would we grow our following? I assumed you bit people? There are many hurtful stereotypes about Creatures of Unusual Nocturnal Thirst. This is one of the reasons why we would like to

tell more people about our ways and how Dracula could come into their lives. Would you like to hear more about the different benefits of eternal life? Yeah, sure. May we come in?

May we come in?

@SimonDonkers

I’m missing 7 red lines in these pamphlets. Those would really finish the design.

@impossiblejonathan9650

I really liked your work back in the day but after 4 years I never expected another video from you. But here you are with a neat little short story, and what a thrilling ending. I really enjoyed it.

@damu6678

No videos for 4 years and then this professionally done video of if no where! Still, nothing can ever top the 7 Red Lines. That video captured the business world perfectly
