Matt Berry is an English actor and comedian known for The IT Crowd and Toast of London before playing Laszlo Cravensworth in FX's What We Do in the Shadows from 2019 to 2024. His exaggerated, old fashioned delivery made short lines from the show circulate widely as reaction clips online. This phrase spread in that same way, shared on soundboards and in edits because Berry can make even a swear sound like period drama, giving fans a recognisable put down that works without any visual context.
