What We Do in the Shadows is the FX mockumentary series about vampire housemates on Staten Island, adapted from the 2014 film of the same name. Matt Berry stars as Laszlo Cravensworth, whose encounters with the Vampiric Council, the show's ruling vampire authority, became a recurring source of pomp and panic. Clips of Laszlo's most theatrical lines circulated widely on soundboards and in edits, where fans isolate Berry's delivery from the scene. The council reference endures because it instantly signals mock gravitas, even for viewers unfamiliar with the episode.
