Matt Berry is widely known for his theatrical, larger-than-life comic performances, including Laszlo Cravensworth in What We Do in the Shadows, and this clip captures that same incredulous style in a single line. Shared as a short reaction sound, it spread through meme edits and commentary videos where creators needed a quick, withering response to something absurd. Like you what, it works because the disbelief is performed so completely, and it remains popular because one dry question can puncture an entire argument without any further explanation.
About this sound
Matt Berry's dry, incredulous are you kidding line from What We Do in the Shadows, used to react to absurd claims, bad takes and unbelievable news.
This is Matt Berry asking, in his unmistakable theatrical voice, whether someone can possibly be serious. The delivery is slow, posh and dripping with disbelief, with the emphasis landing hard on the final word so it sounds less like a question and more like a verdict. It is short, punchy and instantly recognisable to fans of his comedy, and it turns a simple reaction into a moment of pure scorn. Played over a ridiculous claim or an obviously fake story, it makes the audience feel the speaker's exasperation before a single extra word is needed.
