While it certainly took Elena some time to adjust to her newfound vampire lifestyle, it seems it also took a bit of work for Nina Dobrev to adjust as well. Read on for a look at the funniest bloopers we could find from the set of "The Vampire Diaries." Though the series itself is quite serious, behind-the-scenes videos reveal that the cast had a lot of fun making the show and brought levity to the filming when they could. The series comes off as a typical teen show but quickly turns into something darker and more profound, as the love triangle between the three leads complicates things to a nearly inextricable degree. However, things become more complicated when Stefan's older brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder) comes into town, initially planning to bring back the brother's long-lost love, Katherine (who, coincidentally, looks just like Elena), but winds up falling in love with Elena instead. Elena falls in love with a vampire named Stefan (Paul Wesley).

"The Vampire Diaries" centers on Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), a teenage girl living in Mystic Falls, Virginia, who loses both her parents in a car crash. The first book was published in 1991, nearly fifteen years before Stephanie Meyer published her first novel, though The CW did decide to produce the series because of the success of the first "Twilight" film, per Entertainment Weekly. A part of the vampire craze that characterized the mid-to-late 2000s, "The Vampire Diaries” arrived on the scene in 2009, a year after the first "Twilight" film premiered and the first episode of "True Blood" aired. Like its undead contemporaries, "The Vampire Diaries" was based on a book series of the same name.
