The line comes from Matt Berry's performance as Laszlo Cravensworth in What We Do in the Shadows, the television comedy about a household of vampires living in modern Staten Island. Berry's over-the-top aristocratic delivery became one of the show's most recognisable traits, and fans began clipping his grandest pronouncements for use outside the series. Shared in edits, reaction videos, and soundboards, the chimera line works as a shorthand for a pompous introduction, letting creators borrow Laszlo's confidence for their own absurd reveals long after the episode first aired.
About this sound
Matt Berry says Here is the Chimera in his Laszlo voice from What We Do in the Shadows, perfect for dramatic reveals and absurd introductions in video edits.
This short clip captures Matt Berry speaking in the flamboyant, theatrical voice he uses as Laszlo Cravensworth, announcing a chimera with slow, deliberate grandeur as if unveiling a priceless treasure. His rich, booming delivery stretches each syllable, giving the line a pompous yet playful weight that makes even a ridiculous reveal feel momentous. The sound works because Berry never breaks character, turning a simple introduction into a small performance full of old-world charm and comic confidence. Listeners instantly recognise the exaggerated aristocratic tone, and that contrast between serious delivery and absurd subject matter is what makes the moment funny, memorable, and easy to drop into a reaction or reveal.
