Matt Berry says hold on a second in his rich, theatrical voice from What We Do in the Shadows, used for pauses, corrections and comic interruptions.
This is Matt Berry delivering the line hold on a second with the booming, overly formal diction he is famous for as Laszlo Cravensworth in What We Do in the Shadows. The delivery stretches a simple pause into a grand announcement, with crisp consonants, rolled emphasis and perfect comic timing. It sounds authoritative and absurd at once, which is why a brief interruption suddenly feels like a dramatic event. Viewers instantly read it as a playful objection, a moment to stop, reconsider, or brace for a pompous correction that is about to follow.
