Simon the Devious is a recurring vampire rival in What We Do in the Shadows, the FX comedy series that premiered in 2019 and expanded the 2014 film. Played by Nick Kroll, Simon clashes with Matt Berry's Laszlo, especially over a cursed hat, giving Berry plenty of reason to say his name with contempt and flair. Clips of Laszlo's delivery circulate as reaction audio online, reused long after broadcast because the exaggerated pronunciation turns a simple name into a complete character introduction.

Matt Berry as Laszlo saying Simon the Devious from What We Do in the Shadows, used as a dramatic name drop and reaction sound in edits and memes.
This clip captures Matt Berry delivering the name Simon the Devious in the rich, theatrical voice he uses as Laszlo Cravensworth. The line is short but instantly recognisable, with Berry stretching the vowels and leaning into the melodrama that makes the character so quotable. It lands less like ordinary dialogue and more like a grand announcement, which is why it cuts through a video so well. Played over an entrance, a reveal or an otherwise ordinary moment, it turns the subject into a scheming villain and gets a laugh from the contrast.
