Matt Berry plays vampire Laszlo Cravensworth in What We Do in the Shadows, the FX comedy series that premiered in 2019 and was based on the 2014 film by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. Laszlo became the show's breakout voice, with short clips of Berry's exaggerated pronunciation spreading widely on social media and in fan edits. Lines built around everyday words, including deck, were shared as standalone reactions, helping the character remain a staple of television meme sounds long after individual episodes aired.
About this sound
Matt Berry delivers the line about the deck in his Laszlo voice from What We Do in the Shadows, a short clip used for deadpan reaction edits and memes.
This is Matt Berry in full Laszlo Cravensworth mode, stretching a completely ordinary word, deck, into something theatrical and faintly obscene through sheer pronunciation. The clip centres on that drawn out delivery, with Berry's rich, booming British voice turning a household reference into a punchline all on its own. There is no setup needed because the humour lives in how he says it, not what he says. Played over an otherwise serious moment, it instantly makes the scene feel absurd, which is why editors love dropping it in without warning.
