Jemaine and Black Beard are a couple of maladroit vampires living in a college roommate situation, feeding on virgins, and struggling to pronounce the letter 'e'.
Black Beard tries to hold the group together as they bumble through a series of misadventures, but he's not particularly adept at it.
They accidentally make friends with a human, take him to undead conventions at which he is most unwelcome, and irresponsibly and unsuccessfully attempt to side-step the consequences.
Murray is the leader of the local werewolves, and calls for a band meeting. He's concerned about how this film is a series of standalone, awkwardly comedic situations, but that it lacks much of an actual narrative.
The band decides to launch a TV series based very accurately on this world, and which they decide will be considerably better. They decide to perfectly model Nandor, the show's main character, after Black Beard – right down to the goofy accent – but take the rest of the characters back to the drawing board. This is a wise decision for at least three seasons.
