Matt Berry plays Laszlo Cravensworth in What We Do in the Shadows, the FX mockumentary comedy series that began in 2019 and follows a household of vampires living in Staten Island. Berry's theatrical, old-fashioned delivery became one of the show's signatures, and short lines like this one were lifted by fans into soundboards and short-form edits. Stripped of its scene, the apology keeps its charm because it sounds both grand and ridiculous, which is why creators still reach for it for romantic parodies and dramatic punchlines.
About this sound
Matt Berry delivers Forgive me darling as Laszlo in What We Do in the Shadows, a smooth theatrical apology used for romantic edits and dramatic apology memes.
This clip captures Matt Berry's rich, velvety voice delivering a single, drawn-out apology in his role as Laszlo Cravensworth, the flamboyant vampire from What We Do in the Shadows. His delivery is slow, warm and deliberately theatrical, turning a simple sorry into something grand, seductive and slightly absurd. The line lands with a mix of old-world charm and comic self-importance, which is why it works so well out of context. Played over a reaction shot or a failed romantic gesture, it instantly makes the moment feel both sincere and hilariously overblown.
