I think there's been a shift in media here over the years. Older vampires, the formalwear "I vant to suck your blaaaad" types, often have very long teeth and leave only a couple of punctures after biting someone. It's pretty reasonable to assume these are actually drawing the blood through their teeth like little syringes.

Then as time goes on, vampires have gotten grittier and gorier. We've gone from beautiful damsels with tiny pinpricks on their necks, to staight up cannibalism. Vampires now just fuckin eat people sometimes. Somewhere in between, we did get a phase of vampires biting open the neck with a big gush of blood, and the now classic image of a vampire with blood all over their lower face. At this point it's clear they're just drinking it normally.

So vampires have become sloppier and more impatient. The new generations I swear /s

That line from my name is Earl has also stuck with me for all the years. You are not alone!

It aired way back in the Olden times was a good watch then, don't know how well it holds up today.

No idea why that one particular line that was spoken once across the entire series resurfaces every now and again, but here we are I guess

I'm confident that the "I want to suck your blood" line there is a reference. It's an old misattributed quote from Bela Lugosi's appearance as Dracula.

In Reno in the 90s there was a real-estate company called Draculich Reality, they had signs in lawns a lot, and every time I saw one I immediately thought ''I vant to sell your house!''
