The line comes from What We Do in the Shadows, the television comedy about vampires sharing a house in the modern world, and is delivered in Matt Berry's unmistakable theatrical style. Clips of his dialogue are widely shared by fans because his delivery turns ordinary lines into quotable moments, and this one has found a second life on soundboards as a short, dramatic reaction. Creators keep returning to it because it is instantly recognisable, easy to place at the end of a scene, and funny precisely because it treats a small disaster as if it were a supernatural judgement.
About this sound
A dramatic line delivered by Matt Berry in What We Do in the Shadows, often used in edits to mark a doomed plan, a bad decision, or a mock curse.
This clip captures Matt Berry's rich, theatrical delivery of the phrase 'Consider it a curse,' spoken with the arch, old-world menace that defines his character in What We Do in the Shadows. His voice drops into a slow, deliberate cadence, turning a simple sentence into a mock-formal pronouncement that feels both sinister and funny. The line lands like a verdict rather than a joke, which is why it works so well as a punchline: the listener hears the doom in his tone before the humour catches up. Played over a failed plan or an unlucky moment, it adds instant drama and gothic absurdity.
