Matt Berry plays Laszlo Cravensworth in What We Do in the Shadows, the FX comedy series that began in 2019 and adapted the 2014 film of the same name. Berry's heightened, old fashioned delivery made many of Laszlo's lines circulate as short clips outside the show, shared by fans in reaction posts and fan edits. This denial became useful because it is self contained, instantly recognisable to viewers of the series, and clear even without context, so it keeps working as a shorthand for refusing responsibility in jokes online.
