About this sound

Matt Berry as Laszlo Cravensworth saying 'I knew this would happen' from What We Do in the Shadows, used as a smug reaction when a predictable fail plays out.

This is the voice of Matt Berry as the flamboyant vampire Laszlo Cravensworth from What We Do in the Shadows, delivering the line 'I knew this would happen' with theatrical, mock-exasperated certainty. The delivery is arch and knowing, with Berry's clipped accent stretching each syllable as if he had warned everyone all along. It lands like a punchline of vindication, turning a predictable mistake into comedy. The clip works because it sounds less like surprise and more like smug prophecy, the perfect audio shrug when disaster unfolds exactly as expected.

Pro tip

Drop the line right before the failure lands, so it plays like a prediction rather than commentary. Pair it with a slow zoom on the guilty face, and skip it when the moment is genuinely shocking, where smugness falls flat.
