Rudy Ayoub's Dracula can't scare the coffee shop staff
Ayoub plays the vampire and both baristas in a sketch where workplace exhaustion proves harder to handle than fangs.

Vampire vs Gen-Z
The fangs aren't helping. Dracula walks up to the counter asking for blood, hastily switches to coffee and discovers that the staff find his whole vampire routine adorable.
Rudy Ayoub plays all three characters in "Vampire vs Gen-Z": the caped customer, red-aproned Rudy and his coworker Tristan. Telling them he can fly like a bat only makes the intimidation problem worse. "I'm not cute. I'm scary," Dracula insists.
The Short passed half a million views in its first 15 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day Shorts audience. It follows Ayoub's courtroom sketch "Why Gen Z can't go to court," where the prospect of prison prompted questions about rent. Here, another supposedly frightening situation runs into the everyday realities of work.
When Dracula threatens to drink their blood, the baristas volunteer rather than recoil. Soon he is asking whether they are okay. Rudy's answer: "We work at a coffee shop, man. What do you think?"
The comments extend the workplace joke. Viewers imagine a manager still expecting attendance after a vampire attack, or charging an employee for blood on an apron. Others single out Tristan's deliberately unconvincing terror. For these baristas, even a supernatural encounter comes with the question of whether to clock out.
