Matt Berry is an English actor and comedian best known in this role as Laszlo Cravensworth, the flamboyant centuries-old vampire in the FX comedy series What We Do in the Shadows, which began in 2019. Guilty as charged is a classic courtroom phrase, but Berry's theatrical, unbothered delivery turns it into a comic confession rather than a legal admission. Online, the line is shared as a short reaction sound for memes and edits, often alongside other dramatic courtroom cues such as Law and Order DUN DUN, because both sell a verdict with a single moment of sound.
