The clip is associated with Matt Berry's work on What We Do in the Shadows, the television comedy where he plays the flamboyant vampire Laszlo Cravensworth. Berry's exaggerated, old-fashioned delivery has become one of his trademarks, and lines delivered in that style are widely shared as reaction and meme sounds. This one has found a second life online as a shorthand for a formal challenge, used whenever creators want to frame a rivalry, argument or competition as a duel. Its humour comes from treating something ordinary with absurd seriousness.
